Beach Hotels in Krabi Province, Thailand

I had a great stay at AVA SEA Resort in Ao Nang. The location is strategic - just a short walk to the beach, restaurants, and shops. It's very convenient for exploring the area without needing transport. The rooms are spacious, modern, and very clean, which made the stay comfortable and relaxing. I also appreciated the fast elevator. Overall, it’s a well-kept hotel with good amenities and a great vibe. Perfect for travelers who value location, cleanliness, and comfort. Highly recommended!

Great location for Muslim travellers – just steps from Ao Nang Mosque and surrounded by halal restaurants. All the staff are friendly and very helpful, massages options at the hotel spa are quite affordable, and there’s an activities counter with plenty to do. Only 10 mins to the beach, plus a gym and kids club. Swimming pool is big and fine, but kids’ pool needs better upkeep.

I recently stayed at what was advertised as a 4-star hotel, but unfortunately, my experience was far from impressive. The lobby area looked pristine, and the hotel certainly took pride in its public spaces, but the room left much to be desired. When we walked in, it was immediately apparent that the room was not cleaned thoroughly. It seemed like they cleaned around the room rather than doing a deep clean. There were dead bugs on the wall, which was pretty off-putting, and the hand-held bidet was in an unacceptable state. It wasn’t cleaned before we arrived, nor was it attended to during our stay. For a hotel that supposedly offers a high standard, these oversights were shocking. Given the hefty price we paid—more than what I’ve spent at 5-star hotels—I expected far better. The room itself was disappointing and clearly not maintained to the standard one would expect from a hotel of this supposed calibre. For the money, this hotel did not deliver the quality it promised. Adding to the disappointment, the breakfast experience was just as underwhelming as the room. The hotel proudly claims that their bakery items are baked in-house, even displaying this in the restaurant—but this couldn’t be further from the truth. There wasn’t a single trace of fresh bakery aroma, and the items served looked and tasted like they came straight out of a supermarket package. The overall breakfast selection was poor, lacking variety and freshness. Despite having paid for it as part of our stay, we ended up choosing not to eat there after the first attempt. The tea was weak and flavorless, and the machine-made hot drinks were almost undrinkable. Adding to the disappointment, the breakfast experience was just as underwhelming as the room.

It’s incredibly frustrating to pay premium prices, expecting 4-star quality, only to receive service and amenities that wouldn’t pass for a 3-star. This stay was a major letdown from start to finish.

Pros: We booked this hotel for my birthday and in general it was great. There’s a pool outside our room, big toilet/bathroom, a TV, a sofa & a comfortable bed with nice lighting as well as a working fridge & very good AC. We also appreciated the personalised touch for the set-up as there’s a tote bag already with towels ready to be used if you want to go to the beach/pool, a safe, two robes & comfortable slippers, and the cute Bangka pillows. we also like the aesthetic design of the hotel. Contemporary with a sense of nature element. There’s also a gym, a restaurant, an area to rent motorbike & get tours. There’s a free shuttle to Ao Nang beach on scheduled times & driver was nice & always smiling. We love the rooftop pool! =) Cons: A bit far from town centre, need to book a grab or take the shuttle just to get food. Hotel restaurant does not have a lot of options and closes early. No restaurants or attractions within 5-minute walking distance from hotel. The aesthetic hallway mini-pool on the ground floor was nice but smelly. Most staff don’t speak English & not everyone is accommodating or smiling. Also, you have to open the doors for you to get-inside, not automatic. Also, our room door needed fixing as it was difficult to close or open, only one room key card. Otherwise, all good! =)

We loved everything about this resort, but the fantastic service was the highlight. All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our whole stay. We will definitely be back!

As I am solo traveller and plan to go out most of the time, I booked bunker bed to share with other threes.  You can’t check in before 3pm no matter what. You can keep your belongings at the reception area, but it is not grantee that they are safe. Thankfully, nobody takes anything of mine. After you checked out, they don’t give a damn about you. i gave my phone no to the receptionist to give me a call when the taxi driver come and picked me. But, they don’t call you. You have to wait at the lobby and wait for taxi driver. So, please don’t go out like me when you are waiting for taxi driver to pick up.

Great location, one of the rare hotels facing the beach in that area and it is not that far from the busy ao nang beach road area. very close landmark night market, also to 7-11 and halal food court. Room spacious is ok for a couple, wide and comfortable bed with clean bathroom. Our only complaint is absence of iron at the hotel. Breakfast choice is so-so but we enjoyed the nice view from the restaurant.

Golden Beach Resort was far above my expectations. I paid a budget price but what I got was a very high level experience. The hotel is situated on the beach and has an amazing pool. The breakfast is also above average. I would definitely come back.

The setting is absolutely serene. Surrounded by nature and distant from tourist crowds, the location offers a tranquil atmosphere perfect for unwinding. Whether you're lounging by the pool, taking a walk in the lush gardens, or enjoying the peaceful views from your room, it truly feels like a retreat.

Hotel is located 10-15 mins walk from the active nightlife of Ao Nang and beach. If you are used to walk then it’s fine, else rent a scooter. Clean hotel and rooms too. Breakfast good but limited options. Room cleaning service tag is to be hanged out on the door knob only before 10am that’s the only concern. They don’t have napkins, toothbrush and paste, only bath towels. Hair dryer available. Majority of the guests are from western country. They were kind and nice. Swimming pool is located outdoor. If you book a room make sure you book it on top floor to see a wonderful view like this in picture. I’d rate the hotel 4.0/5. Amenities can be improved to get 5/5.
