Aonang Paradise Resort Krabi

Our 3rd time staying at Aonang Paradise Resort. Resort was well maintained, pool was clean with great view. Location to Aonang beach was just a short distance. Ticketing booth nearby for Long tail boat to West Railay beach. Special shout out to friendly GM Ms Pimchana for her assistance rendered. Duty staff GSA Ms Ying, Sunny and night duty guys was as courteous and helpful throughout our stay. Breakfast selection was simple and well plated. Not forgetting residence cutie. Will definitely be back for next vacation. Good job well done guys!

We booked 4 hotels for our 24 day holiday to Thailand (in all 21 nights) 1 @ £20 per night, 5 @ £42 and 5 @ £43. this dump was booked for 10 @ £63 and it was, by far, the worst hotel I have ever experienced. The location and the grounds of the hotel are quite steep and there was no assistance with luggage (unsuitable for elderly or disabled guests). The room was in a poor state of repair (TV, telephone, some lights, etc. were not working, the patio doors did not lock and were kept closed with a brick, and there was a large gap down the side of the frame that allowed a lot of flying insects to get in). The entire view from the pool and the best rooms was a building site, a large one, the ground had been cleared and they were laying very large water pipes (mains drainage?) for what seems to be a major development that will last a few years. the manageress was a very aggressive young woman who's answer to everything was "No Refund". We arrived late on a Sunday and we left the following day. In my opinion it should be offered as very cheap backpackers accommodation @ £20 per night. Because Krabbi is a busy resort we had to book into 5 star hotels (5 nights with a private pool @ £100 per night and 4 nights in a duplex apartment @ £85 per night) so we spent an extra £900). Trip.com would not refund us the £630 we paid for this dump - so their business model is flawed and does not offer the protection of UK law (that does not allow someone to misrepresent a hotel, the pictures they show are from when the hotel was refurbished many years ago and it seems to me that nothing has been touched since and the place allowed to fall into a very poor state.

Lovely hotel, and not to far from the *****. Great view at the pool but it was closed in terms of drinks.
