A lovely New Years in Ao Nang”

Despite being conveniently located near the beautiful Ao Nang Beach, we found ourselves spending most of our time floating around the clean and aesthetically pleasing pool area at the Ao Nang Orchid Resort. The backdrop of mountainous terrain and lush greenery supported an amazing relaxing and enjoyable stay. This was highlighted by an amazing New Years where we witnessed a cloud of lanterns bedazzle the sky while fire works exploded in variant colors. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. If you want a quiet, clean, and relaxing experience, Ao Nang Orchid Resort is the place to go. Pros: Beautiful scenery, refreshing pool, good breakfast, comfortable rooms, close proximity to beach and excellent restaurants. Cons: Poor Wifi, a bit spendy for a room (but worth it)

Grand Deluxe Pool View- luxury, comfort but easy on the pocket”

We had traveled to Krabi in the last week of Oct 2016 (off season) for our honeymoon. After months of research and tracking we finally narrowed down on a couple of resorts in Aonang- Orchid being one of the top most. The reason being it is very close to the beach (2-3 minutes walk), we fancied a good bathroom and a balcony with a good view. Agoda had the best price to offer, compared to all the other sites (we tracked across all possible sites). Post booking, we had informed the resort about our purpose for visit and had requested for a high floor room with the best possible view. Both of which was duly addressed. We checked-in immediately, which was around 2 hrs prior to the official check in time. The room was perfect- they had set up the room for our honeymoon (no extra charge), top floor, the balcony with the view was exactly what we wanted- beautiful, best part was the bathroom- big size with a decently sized bath tub which could accommodate two. The room service was top notch- very much similar to what a fancy resort offers. Breakfast was decent but the same menu every day. But that is how most of the budget resorts have it anyways. Breakfast spread consisted of - choice of egg, bread, croissants, bacon, sausage, seafood fried rice, chicken, make your own salad with multiple dressings, fruits, tea, coffee, juice etc. Staff was very cordial. We were mostly into activities and were hardly in the resort. But still we did not want to compromise on the luxury and a comfortable stay. I would highly recommend Grand Deluxe Pool View to couples who have the following checklist: 1. Resort level comfort and luxury which is also easy on the budget 2. Very convenient location ** High floor rooms have the sea view, so try to opt for that ** Breakfast can be opted out (which saves a few bucks + there are much better Thai food being offered just outside) If you are looking for luxury and a relaxing stay- opt for the pool side villa (but that would be high priced).

Value for Money”

We are satisfied with Ao Nang Orchid Resort, value for money. Deluxe pool view rooms are big, clean and nice view. We enjoyed most of the time at swimming pool. The staffs are friendly and helpful. Location is great, just right on the most happening street, walking distance within 5mins to the beach. I will choose AoNang Orchid Resort for my next visit to Krabi :)

Nice hotel, right location, comfort room w/wifi”

Grab this super hot deal with Agoda and was very happy with the hotel. Since it's my 1st trip to Krabi, I was a little concern about the quality of the premises. Stayed 3 nights and enjoyed every minute of it. Well design swimming pool, great breakfast selection and very good free wifi connectivity in the room. If it's you are planning for a week stay in AoNang, pick Orchid Resort as your first stop. Once you are familiar with the surrounding, you can scout around for other resort to enjoy different quality, location and atmosphere. I stayed in 3 resorts in Krabi during my 10 days and all of them are wonderful. Will definatley come back for more.

Ao Nang Orchid”

I had a lovely stay at Ao Nang Orchid Resort. I was checked in within 2 minutes of my arrival. Room was clean, seemed newly renovated & had a very big balcony with beach chairs. Bed was nice & cozy. I have no complaints at all about this venue. Staff were helpful & trust worthy, i even left my Honda City key with them when i was not using it as i was on holiday & didn't want unnecessary stress of keeping the car key on me. The next time i visit Krabi Ao Nang, i will take the pool villas as, in my opinion, it is very exclusive setting, i shall not explain, u have to see to appreciate the pool villas.Highly recommended.

Amazing pool and very nice rooms”

We stayed one night in Ao Nang and thoroughly enjoyed the Aonang Orchid Resort. The front desk helped us out with ferry transfers and pointed out some places to eat. The rooms were very comfortable, clean, and well-maintained. The pool is one of the nicest I've ever seen. If I stayed at the hotel again I would opt for a poolside room where you can literally swim off the porch. This place is worth it for the pool alone.

Little Gem... Poolside bungalows are great”

2nd time to Ao Nang, but 1st time at Orchid. Originally had a pool view room booked but decided to upgrade to a pool side bungalow. Well worth it. The city view rooms (the cheapest option) didn't do it for us as the front of the Orchid is on Ao Nangs main road, but the other room types are set back and are quiet. Being so central made it far easier to get around to bars, restaurants, shops, beach etc etc. Last year we stayed at the Krabi Thai Village and although lovely it was a little further out. Hotel was spotless with maid service every day, complimentary waters in the room daily. Although TV channels were poor we did have a DVD player in the room and you can buy/rent films in local shops if you want. Breakfast was always OK. Big enough selection from fresh fruit to shrimp curry....!!! Sometimes ran a little short of some items but only have to ask and it will be topped up. Overall a great hotel, nicely located and with some very nice rooms. The only thing lacking is a bar... but they do serve you food and drinks around the pool side so its only a slight downside.

Excellent location and service”

I was staying for 4 nights at Aonang Orchid Resort and it was such a pleasant place to be. The room was big with good room service. Receptionist could be better at English skill but people were friendly and helpful. There was a tour agency right in front of the resort and they helped us get a good deal for all the tours that we booked. The best part of this resort was its location in central location, right in tourist downtown place where there are lots of restaurant, pubs and shops. Additionally,it's in walking distance to the nearest beach. I would recommend this resort to all of my friends and relatives who contemplate to spend vacation at Krabi.

Excellent stay ”

My family and I had a great stay at Aonang Orchid Resort. Its location is unbeatable - you don't have to venture far to find restaurants (including halal eateries), shops, and tour agencies as they are located just along and across the street from the resort. Aonang Beach itself is about a short 3-5min walk away. The pool is excellent for kids and families (but I believe it is now closed for maintenance, and will be for about 3 weeks?). Many reviewers complained about the staff, but we found them helpful. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and clean. Breakfast was sufficient. One thing to note, however is that there aren't any lifts. We were given rooms on the third floor and my 88-year old grandfather had some trouble going up and down. No complaints other than that as had an excellent stay at the resort.

Excellent hotel, excellent service!”

this is my second stay in aonang orchid. i like the hotel location because of the short distance from the beach. the hotel staffs are very polite and helpful. the rooms in the new building are just awesome, huge and the bed is very comfortable. furthermore, you get a nice view of the sea. the breakfast is great and there's a wide variety of delicious food for dinner too! at affordable prices. will definitely choose aonang orchid again for my next stay in krabi!

Value for Money (Real Good Hotel)”

I like this hotel very much as it is located right at the center of every place (in Ao Nang), walking distance to MCD (200 meters), close to all massage parlours, eating places (street food as well as restaurants) and convenient stores. We found it so convenient to call for taxi (tuk-tuk) to head to Krabi Town or the other side of the beach with cheap fare or even booking for ground tour. Strongly recommended these 3 eating places (try google : Tom Ma Yum, Jungle Kitchen and Boat Noodles Ao Nang - reasonable price with superb food - within 1km from the hotel) I had a sea view room and the room is super spacious plus the bed (for Grand Superior room) was a super king sized bed which is so huge and comfy. Though the facade of the Hotel looks a bit old but the inside is awesome. The staff who did the cleaning every day really ensured our room is properly cleaned up. And also they have a super nice swimming pool which we enjoyed to the max. However, the down sides were the staff weren't that friendly (though they were not rude but I just wanted to say they should be more attentive to customer's requests.) Further, the breakfast was such a disappointment with limited and repetitive choices (staying there for 3 nights), I hope this only happened during the off-peak season (as May-July were monsoon season) Notwithstanding the same, I really like this hotel and i wish they could keep it up and maintain till I come back again in my next trip.

Low street appeal hides a real gem.”

we stayed at the ao nang orchid on the recommendation of a friend of a friend. when the driver indicated with a wave of the hand that we had arrived, there was a moment of concern as we couldn't see it. on crossing the road we found our way in and were checked in by very friendly staff. we didn't really like our first room due to road proximity so we paid the extra and upgraded to pool villa which was just excellent. you walk out the door onto the balcony, down a couple of steps and you are in the main pool. the pool is a very high standard, very clean, and you can do some serious swimming. location is excellent, only a couple of hundred metres to the beach, and there are some very good restaurants and street carts nearby. we never ate anything but breakfast in the hotel so can't comment on the other meals. the in house reakfast was good every morning and the reception manager was exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful with every query we had regarding tours, hotel and flight bookings etc. we would definitely stay in a pool villa at the orchid again!

Nice Hotel !”

Excellent hotel - Clean and tidy. We stayed there for three days and had a very pleasant experience. The rooms are very clean and tidy and the bathroom fixtures are very new. The hotel is situated just a short walk from Ao Nang beach. The beach itself is worth your time only during high tides. during low tide in the evenings it does look pleasant at all. The breakfast spread at the resort was sumptuous. We had so much for breakfast that we used to have very little appetite for lunch:) There is a small bar within the resort and you also have a pool table within it. Was quite relaxing to enjoy your drink with a game of pool. A 7-11 is just next to the resort. So you can get your own beer so that you dont have to pay the rates which are twice the market rate. You'll be spoilt for food choices - italian, mexican, Indian, Thai. We tried one each day and each one of them were good on their own. I'll definitely want to stay there again if I happen to be back in Krabi. Over all a very good stay !

Ao Nang Orchid Resort”

Ao Nang Orchid Resort was in a great location within walking distance of the beach and the restaurants. The staff were all friendly and answered questions. Internet in the lobby of the hotel. The pool area was great and clean. Great information about things to do there and we booked a boat tour of the islands. Took the speed boat. If I had it to do again I would take a slower boat...to fast to take pictures when it was moving and he never missed a wave. Great day on the water besides that. Will be going back to see more and would stay at the Resort again.

We liked it”

We like most every aspect of the Aonang Orchid resort. Breakfast was filling with several options. We loved the omelette station. Great location close to the beach. Very helpful staff. Close to most everything in terms of walking around the town. Description of SeaView (Limited view) room was a bit of a disappointment. I.e. The sea was visable over the tops of several other hotels. A pool view room would be a better bet as it can also see the sea if you get the top floor. 4th floor of the sea view rooms means walking up 4 flights of stairs. No Elevator.

A very positive experience”

We stayed 9 nights and it was a positive experience. Very good location with a good pool area. The staff was very friendly, especially the pool boy, and the service was good. We arrived at 7am and got the room already at 9.30 and when flying back in the evening the hotel had shower facilities and provided towels for us to be fresh for the trip back. We ordered Thai food at the pool and it was excellent. We have been to Thailand about 10 times staying in several hotels and we would rate this hotel to be 3+ stars. We would be happy to stay at the Aonang Orchid Resort again!

Excellent accommodation ”

The place is about 5min away from Ao Nang beach and is surrounded by stretches of shops and places to eat and convenience stores. It is very accessible and if needed there are always taxis lined up along the roads outside. There is a restaurant in the resort that serves very good Thai food at an affordable price. The staff are friendly and can speak basic English. They were very helpful in answering our queries. They also helped us book our day trip to the Hong islands and our taxi back to the airport. The security guard greets you with a genuine smile every time he sees you, which was always pleasant to come back to. The room is clean and the pool is very nice to relax in and has been designed such that it is very beautiful. We stayed in the pool view room so we were amazed by the view every day. Overall an excellent place to stay and contributed greatly to our first time in Krabi. Highly recommended!

Nice place”

We stayed at the Ao Nang Orchid for 3 nights in late April. Our room was the cheaper one, and it probably showed. It was a little dark, with a view over a tin rooftop to the back of some other buildings. Also the bathroom wasn't great as when taking a shower the water ran along the side of the bath and straight on to the floor due to the slant on the bath. Hot water was not too reliable, but it wasn't the worst I've ever experienced. Didn't really bother with the TV as the English channels were practically non existent. Bed was comfy enough though, and the mini bar was cheap, and really we weren't in the room long enough for anything to really bother us. Air con worked well too. Breakfast was OK, nothing special, but not bad. Swimming pool area was lovely and towels were provided for guests use. Food at the pool was good and inexpensive too. Was nice to have access to free internet in the lobby. Hotel was a short stroll to the beach and to other amenities in Ao Nang. In summary, great value for money, and I'd stay there again.

nice& helpful staff, good location”

Ao nang beach is the place where you can join many activities.. Hotel has many tour packages including pipi island,4 island..so on. Therefore, you don't really stay inside hotel a lot. In that sense, Aonang Orchid resort was a good choice, good value for money,,reasonble breakfast,friendly staff,fairly good room,where has all necessary thins including tooth brush.. they let us check out late until my flight time. If you are honeymoon couple or want a romantic time,I recommend you to upgrade your room, superior rooms are facing town..and still ugly torn-down building is in the view.. I'm willing to go back to the hotel next time.

Great location and lovely hotel”

i enjoy my stay in Aonang Orchid even my trip during raining season but hotel staff try to make my trip enjoyable. Aonang Orchid upgrade my room to villa access pool and kids enjoy this room since we cannot go any trip because of the weather.I will back to Aonang Orchid Krabi to enjoy island trip which i miss during this trip.
