Ao Nang Orchid Resort
Accommodation and facilities: Breakfast was terrible, used it once then went out every morning. Our first room on third floor of building smelled terrible for two days (like a bad sewer problem), so they moved us to a pool villa room. We stayed 7 nights. The pool villa rooms are quiet,with beautiful decks, and well worth the extra money. Would absolutely stay there again, loved the location, and they also had free internet.
Reservation service: great booking with Sawadee, quick, and friendly staff.

Accommodation and facilities: The staff were very good, very polite, nothing was too much trouble, the maids were very efficient, friendly, and again nothing was too much trouble. The only drawback, sadly not their fault because of their religion, can not purchase any alcohol, for me that was the-only drawback. I was also very impressed with the swimming pool, it was lovely.
Reservation service: excellent

Accommodation and facilities: Stayed in a poolside room.Very nice and quiet. Staff friendly. Buffet breakfast good but real bacon would be nice. Good location. Only 3 minutes to the beach. The food on the beach is quite expensive. Walk up the road for food that is cheaper but just as good.

Accommodation and facilities: Aonang Orchid is value for money. The room I had was a front room above the restaurant overlooking the road. So, can be noisy with the traffic just outside. Location is very convenient. Breakfast selected is limited but taste is fair.

Ao Nang Orchid Resort
Accommodation and facilities: We had five nights at Aonang Orchid in July as a family of six. My brother and sister in law had a pool villa room and loved it. Direct pool access and a lovely sitting area in front to relax.
We are a family with two boys. We had booked two deluxe pool view rooms and specifically requested inter-connecting rooms. When we arrived we were given two pool view rooms which were not inter-connecting. I was very unhappy about this because we don t feel comfortable putting our boys in a hotel room by themselves, so over five nights this was going to be a huge inconvenience for us. After much complaining we were move very begrudgingly moved to two adjoining triple rooms. We were told over and over that these were triple rooms (not twin as booked). I couldn t have cared less if they were triple - the extra bed in the room didn t advantage us at all but the inter-connecting rooms were a huge advantage. I felt like we were basically ignored by the staff after this - getting off on the wrong foot. We were barely acknowledged or spoken to over the next five days. This is not the friendly and warm Thai hotel welcome we are use to with over 20 years of travelling to the country.
Having said that, the hotel itself is good. The location is wonderful - not right on the beach but close to - just one hotel back. The hotel opens to a lane way off the main road, so is set back. The pool view rooms were excellent - spacious with nice large balconies and comfortable chairs. The view opens to the pool, the sea and the wonderful huge cliff face that towers over Aonang.
I would definately choose the pool view rooms. Some of the superior rooms are in a building near the road and have no view at all and small balconies. It is well worth spending a little more.
The breakfast is amazing value - only 150B for a buffet breakfast. Lot of choices and an egg chef for omelets and scrambled eggs. Well worth having the breakfast, we found a lot of places outside didn t open until later.
The pool area is really nice - sun chairs in the sun or shade, a kiddy pool and elephants spraying water. If your children don t swim I would advise booking a pool view room rather than the villa - for safety reasons. Direct pool access would put you a bit on edge with small children.
The beds are not too hard and very comfortable. The best bed we had on this particular three week trip.
The mini bar is stocked with the basics and cheap. There is also a 7-11 right next door, also an ATM, a doctor and pharmacy over the road and plenty of places to eat.
You can buy a weeks wifi for 600B on check in. This didn t work in all areas of our room. We had to sit in the entry on the floor to get it to work - but still worth getting.
I will be returning to this hotel - I just hope the staff can improve their customer relations.
Reservation service: Excellent.

Accommodation and facilities: Had a very nice stay at Ao Nang Orchid. We had rooms in the hotel wing with pool view and our kids loved the pool. Nice staff who did a fantastic job to make our stay as good as possible. Good breakfast buffé. We actually decided to go back to Ao Nang Resort after a few days on Phi-Phi Island. I definitely recommend this place to families with kids who want a good stay at Ao Nang beach.
Reservation service: Excellent!

However, dont buy the wifi service, it does not work and no refund. When you wish to speak to the hotel manager, we were told by a male desk officer that the hotel manager did not have a mobile phone! sigh..

Accommodation and facilities: Alhamdulillah we drive from Kuala Lumpur to Krabi. Booking for the hotel is fast and easy with Sawadee. Ao Nang Orchid Resort is a walking distance to the beach with shops and restaurants near by. Why Orchid Resort? Simply because of the Halal Restaurant. Tq to Anisa for arranging the full day trip to Phi-Phi Island & of course Hasun the Guide and all the member crew. we will come again. overall everthing is better than expected. Sawadeekap

Ao Nang Orchid Resort
Accommodation and facilities: We stayed at the Ao Nang Resort from May 9th through the 12th 2011. We were so impressed with the location as when you look up you see the wonderful cliffs very close. The swimming pool was absolutely beautiful and had wonderful times swimming. It was clean. You are only a 3 minute walk to the beach and there is shopping all around hotel.
The staff was very courteous and helpful and kind. We stayed in both the regular room which was very clean and tidy and also the bungalows which were so nice and right by the pool. The rooms were spotless and had inroom coded safe. Our belongings were secure.
The breakfast was Great!! Pancakes, homemade Omelettes cooked to order, fruits, cereals, wonderful breads and jellies. Potatoes plus many local choices but you would be filled and impressed. I would come back and stay any time and especially was helped by a gal who spoke English named Pawinna who was very kind. Wonderful stay and would highly recommend this property. I have stayed all over the world and would come back!

Accommodation and facilities: Helt ok hotell, DOCK byggdes det ännu ett hotell (?) ungefär 5 meter från detta, så det var konstant oljud från tidig morgon till sen kväll. Som tur är ligger poolområdet på baksidan av hotellet och stördes inte så mycket av ljudet, men vid frukosten hade jag helst velat ha öronproppar..
Jättebra fräsht poolområde! Vi hade ett rum med balkong och utsikt över poolen. Ok frukost, barnen åt muffins och fruktsallad. ;)
Hotellet serverar inte alkohol.

Accommodation and facilities: Beautifully appointed Bijoux Hotel. Despite photos etc on its Home website of an in house bar - there isnt one! And in fact due to hotel policy NO alcohol at all is served...so forget those poolside Pina Coladas or a cool beer to cut the dust on arrival. But theres always the 7/11 :(
Reservation service: Very good, but if opting to pay by Thai Bank Xfer it gets all very hinky with fax s to n fro. Stick to Visa/Master and all very painless :)

Accommodation and facilities: Actually I think this Hotel is great for people who doesn t need a high class hotel, but need quality within low price. I think food is awful and staff must be improved. But if you want to be relax and need special price for one day trip, this is the right place to stay. Tour staffs are excellent and also their swimming pool is very good. The rooms are great, clean and calm. This hotel is quite good. I give 4 stars from 5.

Rooms were old but well maintained except for the bathroom which needed a renovation. View from the room over the pool area and beyond was terrific. Pool and surrounds were just beautiful. Breakfast was very good as was the restaurant. Location was convenient to most things in Ao Nang. Quite happy to stay in the same room again. Recommended.

Accommodation and facilities: We initially got 2 rooms on second floor. Both rooms had dirty, stained floors and smelled smoke. We complained, and they moved us up to third floor, which was much better. Beautiful poolside, but avoid the food. All of us (4 people) got sick and had stomach pains for days after eating in their resturant. Some staff were very helpful but others had difficult to communicate and wasn t very friendly. Free wifi only worked in one of our rooms, the one closest to reception. Good location however.
