Holiday Ao Nang Beach Resort, Krabi

David Armstrong

Great stay overall — much better than some older reviews suggest Despite some of the older negative comments I’d read before arriving, our stay here was genuinely excellent. The hotel is high quality, the grounds are well kept, and the swimming pools are a real highlight. The pool bar is also priced reasonably for a resort — no surprises there. What we loved - Fantastic pools with plenty of space - Clean, modern facilities - Good value pool bar - Overall atmosphere much better than expected What could be improved - Garden View Rooms & Noise: The noise from the beachfront bars is real. You can’t fully escape the “doof‑doof” music, but it does stop around 23:00–00:00. Earplugs definitely help. - Room Cleaning: Housekeeping was unusual — rooms weren’t cleaned until around 17:00–18:00, which is odd when you’ve been out all day. - Breakfast Crowds: To avoid queues, 08:00 is the latest you can go without waiting. When it gets busy, the bacon mysteriously disappears — ask the egg station and they’ll sort you out. - Guest Behaviour: The hotel is attracting a wider mix of travellers lately. Some guests travelled in large groups, were quite loud, and had different cultural habits (e.g., filming others, eating with hands for main meals, sharing rooms with many people). Our neighbours had around a dozen pairs of shoes outside and were very noisy. Overall A great stay and absolutely worth considering if you’re planning a trip to Ao Nang. The positives far outweigh the negatives, and with a few tweaks this could easily be one of the best family‑friendly resorts in the area.

An exceptional experience from start to finish. The resort is beautifully maintained, with stunning surroundings and a truly relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are luxurious, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, offering both comfort and privacy. What really sets this place apart is the service—warm, attentive, and consistently professional without ever feeling intrusive. Every interaction felt welcoming, and the staff went out of their way to ensure the stay was memorable. The check-in time at the hotel was long like it took around 20 mins for the lady to type in all the details but I think that is necessary for all international travellers The food was excellent, the amenities were top-notch, and the overall experience was exactly what a resort stay should be: peaceful, indulgent, and refreshing. I would highly recommend this resort and would absolutely return. The shrimp pineapple fried rice was top notch at the restaurant.

I was pleasantly surprised by this resort. I was a bit worried after reading some recent reviews, but we had a great stay with no issues at all. The hotel is modern and well maintained, and everything felt clean. The reception team were fantastic—they sorted us out with interconnected rooms, which was super helpful. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. We happened to be there during Songkran, which made it extra fun. The hotel put on nice activities and a special dinner, which we really enjoyed. Pools were clean, and the location is great—easy walk to the night market. Only small downside was a bit of noise from nearby places late at night, but honestly it didn’t bother us much. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed at this hotel as a family with our 3 year old and 1 year old children and absolutely loved it. We had a room with direct pool access, which was perfect for us. The kids especially enjoyed the slides and had a great time around the hotel. Breakfast was good with plenty of options. The location is excellent for boat tours, as most depart right in front of the hotel and the long-tail boat service to Railay Beach is also just in front. The night market is only a 5-minute walk. Overall, a fantastic stay for families.

We had an amazing 7-day stay at Holiday Ao Nang Beach Resort and it was one of the best choices we made in Krabi! The resort is really stylish and cozy, with a relaxed, family-friendly vibe that’s perfect for unwinding. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable (ours had a nice view), and the cleanliness is outstanding—everything spotless every day, fresh towels, well-maintained. Breakfast is a highlight: a diverse menu with Thai and international options, fresh fruits, made-to-order eggs—something new to try every morning! The staff are exceptional—always smiling, incredibly friendly and helpful with everything from restaurant tips to arranging taxis or excursions. We truly felt the warm Thai hospitality and like we were at home. Location is ideal: just cross the road and you’re on Ao Nang Beach, super close to restaurants, the night market, shops—everything within walking distance. The pools are beautiful (great for families with slides if you have kids), and the whole resort is green, tidy, and peaceful. I highly recommend this hotel for couples or families looking for relaxation, top cleanliness, and great service at a fair price. Huge thanks to the team for making our 7 days so special! 🌴☀️🏖️ We’ll definitely be back! My rating: 9.5/10 (just a tiny point off for occasional pool crowds in peak season, but nothing major).
