Situated just a walkway from Ao Nang Beach, it was a great stay. Has multiple eateries and utility stores around. Had two clean pools and good restaurants. About the trip don’t bother for Forex or a SIM card as they are easily available and activated right at Arrivals. For commuting my experience with Grab app was not good. The roadside travel assistance offices are good but compare a few before booking. Krabi was a wonderful, quite and scenic stay

This was my 5th trip to Thailand my husbands 2nd trip and our first time to Krabi and the 2nd hotel we stayed at in Ao Nanag. It was our honeymoon we had a room close to the entrance which was nice as we didn't have to walk too far to get out to the night life. The room was super comfortable, roomy, with a view of the pool also very quiet. The hotel location is great short walking distance to the beach, centre point bars and everything and anything you could want from a stay in Ao Nanag. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and really made out stay a pleasure. The infinity pool is amazing and its lovely spending a day just relaxing with the view. The area around the infinity pool has been built around the trees so they move with the wind which is a bit strange to see however you do get used to it. The resort has a bus to a private beach for free, its around a 10 minute trip, the beach has a few bars and massage places scattered around the service operates on a 2 hour turn around to and from the hotel. One issue that irritated me was that when we booked unknown to us we incurred an extra cost for a "mandatory" new years eve gala dinner that my husband and I did not attend as it is our anniversary and we wanted to do our own thing. This frustrated me as we were unable to get a refund or credit for the additional cost of the function we didn't want to attend, I feel overall the resort is slightly overpriced for what it has to offer in comparison to what you can get in other parts of Thailand for the same price. Apart from that lovely resort, great staff and we had a really nice stay.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
Heard that this hotel has just rebranded, so I went there for a trial stay during my birthday trip. Luckily I have got an room upgrade to Panorama room which could see a beautiful view from your own corridor. Room, itself, was alright, new decorated in a modern style. The highlighted things are the infinity pool that be able to the whole Ao Nang beach, including of the great location that you could find anything even at a nighttime. One thing that I most appreciate was the service of staffs, named Mr. Wayne, Ms.BB, Ms.Rainy, Ms. Haydee,Mr.Korn, Ms.Sopa and Ms. Natruthai, as I had called to tell the Front Staffs that I could hear a very loud noise from people of the room next door after checked-in couple hours, staffs offered me to move to the better room right away without any hesitation by everything was well prepared promptly in a good time manner, Thank you very much for your all kind hospitality, keep doing your great job!!!

We stayed 1 night here to experience Ao Nong before moving to a beach front hotel. We were very pleased with our stay and would definitely recommend it to others wanting to stay in Ao Nong. We got a panaroma room. The view was awesome. The room also nicely appointed and spacious. Loved the design of the bathroom. It had 2 sinks, a privacy door for the toilet and you could still enjoy the ocean view from one of the sinks and the shower as it had a glass wall. A roll down curtain provides privacy when you need it. Staff was gracious and nice. Rainy checked us in as well as out and couldn’t have been more genuinely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was also very good and plentiful with custom order eggs, and a station for waffles etc. Location is perfect - 5 minute walk to Ao nang beach. Starbucks, McDonald’s 7-11 and a plethora of other restaurants, snack shacks etc at your doorstep. The cherry on top is the infinity pool. The view is amazing! It really is the nicest infinity pool I’ve ever seen. Only downside which could effect some although not us is that there are quite a few steps and stairs to get around the hotel. I could see that maybe being a problem if you are not so mobile. If we are to go back to Ao nong will definitely stay again.

We booked a deluxe room well in advance in May 2019 on Booking.com. The hotel effectively has two wings. One just off the busy main road and the second, with rim pool, restaurant and rooftop bar recessed about 100m from the main road. We had to wait 45 min after check-in time for a room located on the busy street at a cost of THB 6165.00 per night. The feeling of being ripped off was confirmed on checking their website (avanihotels.com) where the cost of a superior room was THB 3555.00 for the same dates.On complaining to management we were upgraded to a room in the quieter wing 3 hours after the check-in time. The internet worked intermittently, the TV was useless (perhaps this worked via wifi?) and the aircon was noisy. Service was generally dismal. Rooms were only made up at around midday and the restaurant service was generally poor. I am still unable to establish why I was charged excessively for the room and I feel somewhat grossly cheated.

This hotel came under the AVANI grp only on 15/12/19. We were there 2 wks later on 29/12. The hotel is still in transition so a lot of the standards were actually not up to par. Small things like no hairdryer, slippers, soap/soap dish in some rooms,1 set of towels & complimentary water not replaced the next day, a faulty door lock that had us waiting 30 mins before we could get into the room, etc. Small things but easily corrected with well-trained staff, of which they currently have too few of, and some refurbishments. HOWEVER, these small irritations were offset by staff who were very polite & friendly. Special mention must go to Asst Front Office Manager, Wayne, who was extremely accommodating of a room change request (due to noise), friendly & helpful & Khun Den, who was also very helpful & friendly (went out of his way to stop by a place to check when my son left his swimming shorts there). Once they get their act together, it will be a very good hotel to stay in. Note: Don't get rooms that face the street if you are a light sleeper or go to bed early- there's a bar directly across that plays loud music till 1 am'

We stayed for a week for Sandbox at Avani Aonang Cliff Resort and could not recommend it enough. All the staff from front desk, restaurant, spa and cleaning were friendly and helpful. We were quite nervous about COVID safety because of the rise of omicron cases but we felt really safe at Avani. On the days we had breakfast buffet, the staff made sure everyone was wearing masks while getting food.
Room: Well maintained and clean. Comfortable and spacious. The balcony tub has cold water and was refreshing to dip in when we were stuck in our hotel room waiting for the results of our Covid test. Pictures of the room matched the quality of our room.
Pool: Roof pool had a stunning view and was often empty. More beautiful than the view of the beach side resorts in aonang.
Food: Combination of Thai and western dishes though we mainly had Thai food which was all very tasty. Breakfast was good. When the hotel was more busy, it was a buffet style, but when there were less guests it was by order. Though you could order the same things as the buffet menu. For Chinese New Year the chef created a beautiful and delicious seafood meal. A great selection of quality seafood and just 888 baht for the two of us. Although there are cheaper alternatives around the hotel, the quality of the food and the sunset view of the poolside restaurant are definitely worth your money. If there are special menus when you are staying, highly recommend you try it!
Spa: Did two messages during my stay and I highly recommend it. They served a refreshing drink before and a nice tea after. Felt so relaxed during my massage and it was clean, safe and sanitary as well.
Location: Super convenient. The main part of the hotel is further up the hill but all connected by elevator. You can take an elevator to the street level which is great. Easy walk to restaurants, beach, and shops. You have the convenience of being so central in Ap Nang, but coming back into the resort area you feel removed as well.
Only con: The bars on the streets blast loud music which we could hear from our room some of the nights (Thursday and weekend). We just wore earplugs to sleep so it wasn’t an issue. It’s not super loud but mildly annoying.
No regrets with our choice of hotel. Would definitely stay here again if we were to come back to Ao Nang.

Well an amazing location is the first star, situated on cliff face with amazing private beach, manicured daily, tidal, crystal waters, fish, crabs and sea life! Facilities are tip top, pools clean and without fault, main pool with swim up bar, villas with private pools that are infinity style - all with direct views out across the Andaman Sea, with long tail boats and fisherman! The Reggae Bar is a hidden treasure situated down on a rocky outcrop facing the sea with Ton, your host who provides amazing sunset views! The restaurant, the staff and the rooms are well appointed with motion detection in rooms to preserve power and guard against wasteful travellers! A short ferry ride from the main land to Koh Lanta and your there! Walking distance to local restaurants on the beach provide a wonderful insight to island life and their reliance on the sea! If you make the trek, Koh Lanta old town cannot be missed

Beautiful hotel, great location close to all shops and restaurants (try Jenna’s, Aning and The Beach by Anings owner as well) . Fantastic location with at few minutes walk to the "city life" and beach but still in a quit surrounding. Breakfast was good & various and the staff were very helpful when asking for recommendations or advice. We stayed here for 5 nights this time – our 4th time already in this wonderful hotel, and were very happy with our lovely Panorama view room.. The Panorama room & balcony view was perfect at the very highest floor – beautiful seaview, huge size balcony. Room is nicely decorated and it was quiet. Lots of space and very clean, a well equipped bathroom and fridge, impeccable AC, consistent wifi. TV is big BUT only indian channels? Need improvement in this area for other nationalies guests as well. The cleaning was very good, always on time and towels replaced daily. The staff was very friendly and flexible. Thank You Aom from reception, we appreciate Your kindness with an early check-in after very long flight. From breakfast restaurant: On, Beer, Film, Touch, thank You for taking care of us and make our vacation great. Khun Touch – it was lovely to meet You again, You are like sunshine, always with a smile. And Dear Mister Wut – You already made the Cliff Beach a better place in such a short time and achieved great results, we cannot wait to be back next December to see more superb improvements. We are sure the Avani Cliff Beach would be even more great than so far.
