Let me start by saying: I highly recommend staying here if you're in Ao Nang! 👏🏻
My ideal beach vacation means stepping directly from the hotel onto the sand, having loungers available, and not needing to lug a ton of stuff. This hotel completely delivers!
1️⃣ **Location:** It's on the easternmost side of Ao Nang Beach, and I honestly think it's the only hotel on the entire beach with its own beachfront loungers. You can literally be in the sea in 1 second – super convenient! Plus, it's only a 5-minute walk to the main street for dining. I recommend the Angel Gang restaurant; it's very authentic Thai and incredibly affordable. We paid about 120 RMB for a whole table of food.
2️⃣ **Ambiance:** The hotel has two swimming pools, both very clean. The service is generally good; any issues we had were resolved quickly.
3️⃣ **Breakfast:** Served from 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM by the pool. There's a good selection, though not very Chinese-oriented, but the ingredients are all high quality! A bowl of Tom Yum soup with noodles each morning is perfect for fitness enthusiasts!
Now, for some advice based on issues we encountered:
1️⃣ **Avoid the most basic room types** (they might be next to a smelly ditch or noisy outdoor AC units – steer clear of rooms 4206 and 4207). The pool access and sea view rooms are much better!
2️⃣ The hotel staff initially weren't very friendly towards Chinese guests, especially when we had requested a quiet room in advance and were still given such a problematic one. Thankfully, Ctrip helped us sort it out.
