Grand Andaman Hotel

It is very impressive to see such spacious and big hotel in the middle of nowhere. Do not believe the bad comments about the small and smoky casino and the US dollars corruption... Now everything is in THAI MONEY. The casinos are big and updated. Rooms are excellent. Monkeys are agressive so nobody can enjoy th beach. This hotel is always empty. Do not belive The websites telling "% last Rooms" this is a trick from Hotel management to feel full... Their is nobody there!

This is our second time at Andaman clu, the first was in May last year. Excellent value to money hotel and equiped with all the activities that our group likes. There are golf, gaming, spa, swimming pool, and snooker club. That's enough to keep us busy for the 3 days. Perfect. The bathroom could use some improvement though.

My second visit to the hotel,staff were very friendly rooms have exceptional view,pool is amazing pool keeper good worker however food is absulatey terrible ,no excuse I can easily say unetable maybe the cook worked in Devils island prison before to cook here.mark my word you will stay hungry thank god I brought some cheese and crackers. Including the breakfast egg bacon freezing cold,I saw cocrochers both days 1 came out the toaster 1 by the eggs and bacon.Lunch was unetable they even screwed up burger ! Too bad I wold have like to return to this hotel again but now is questionable ,there is no excuse for this kind of hotel such a food. You have been warned take cheese and crackers :)

ok for 1night stay

The hotel is very spacious, good pool, reasonable gym. Staff were very attentive and well presented. The main restaurant food was excellent with reasonable prices. The downfall was the tours. We took the Victoria point tour which was supposed to be a trip to Victoria point, then to the temple then yo the market. Unfortunately we were taken to a tourist gift shop after the temple which was over priced. We finally got to the market and were told it was a wet market however we insisted. We found that the market was not only fruit and veg but there were all sorts of general merchandise. Unfortunately there was not time to go shopping. We would have much preferred the market instead of going to the tourist shop. The second problem was the 4 island tour which is a day long tour. We were told all sorts of information from book in the mornong to we had to book in the night before which we did. In the morning we wete told that we could not go on the tour because we only had border passes.

2.. challenges . 1 each time I want to catch the ferry to the resort, I have to wait 1 hr and 30 min. 2. No one met me at the airport. Alone in Myanmar, in a country where there is little English, I was sick and weak with food poisoning and I had to rely on the help of other passengers to carry my backpack on the bouncing ferry. They should have some one to meet their guests at the airport. When a taxi finally got me to the dock, the 5 pm ferry had gone and I sat waiting for the 6:30 ferry. Once one is on the island, the staff is amazing. Breakfasts could nearly fill you for the day. Asian.. western. . It is all there. Grand Andaman is such a delight after traveling in Myanmar for 2 weeks- where garage was too often dumped every where. And staff had not been trained how to wipe a table. Here Every thing is clean.

The casino is very very bad. The card games are rigged and to play the slots you insert 500 baht or 1000 baht. You put 1000 baht and it gives you 10 US Dollars of credits!!. 1000 baht is 30 US dollar not 10 dollars. You lose 70% of your money before you even play. The slots are old and all are the same, avoid the casino at all costs. It rained when I was there and there was nothing to do. The food took 45 minutes to arrive and most other people were sending it back although to be honest my food was okay. There are better options for visa runs and casinos. Do to KL or Singapore unless you stay very close to ranong. I came by road from Hua Hin and I thought it was a very good road but about 50km from the pier you go through the mountains and it took hours and hours for that part in heavy rain with accidents (and dead bodies) every 10k or so. Not a pleasant experience all in all and was glad to get back to Hua Hin.

We stayed there on our visa run. The room is quite spacious with a terrace and a nice ocean view. there were some monkeys fooling around in the garden and 2 sea eagles flying around. We visited the casino in the evening, most thai and chinese people, only 1 Black Jack table and 2 Bok Deng. was fun. No ATM machine on the hole island. Breakfast was okay, nice pool but unfortunately it was raining that day. Very relaxing stay, few people

Went to Andaman club to renew Thai visa . It's located on an Island in Myanmar ( Burma)just a short ride by hotels boat from their jetty north of Ryong. Hotel is big lots of facilities but few guests . Great for a short stay, service good, we were outnumbered by staff!! Great views.

well, i do not really know where to start with this place. i am not usually the type to bad mouth a hotel, but this place was just so strange. first of all, when we arrived i ranong it was not obvious where to get the free boat from to the andaman club. so we ended up going over to victoria point, waiting for a few hours for a boat to the club. when you arrive in burma immergration, they keep your passports, so that meant when we checked out we had to go back to victoria point to go back to ranong. which meant we had to pay quite a lot for the extra 2 boat trips. when we arrived at the resort, it felt like a ghost town. there were about 8 people there and half the things were closed and the things that were open smelt really musty as if they had never been used, it were also a lot smaller then expected. for example, the casino, was just a small room with loads of vegas cast off slot machines they dont really work properly. also none of the staff speak english, so could not help us. anyways, i felt pretty trapped there as you cant leave the grounds and we found everything pretty expensive. i could not wait to leave. if i was to return, i would definately stay at victoria point, the people there were freindly and there were very cheap bars and resturants and had a beautiful view. a much cheaper alternative for a visa run. sorry for the big essay.

We were booked for a three night stay and only stayed one night. The tours that they advertise have a miniman person and you have to pay for six people so makes it ridiculously expensive and there is nothing to do around the hotel. The TV has very limited channels. I would only go to this hotel for one night. The hotel also charged us for three nights even though we stayed for one. Agoda gave us one night back so that was good of them. overall very disappointed.

We had a lovely stay at The Andaman Club, the room was a decent size, comfortable bed and a great bathroom. Good size balcony with pool and sea views. We stayed in a superior room which stated that there was tea/ coffee facilities.......but there wasn't! Extremely difficult to get a pot of hot water to make our own tea in the morning but did eventually get one. The staff were lovely and very helpful. Had the evening buffet which was fine but not very warm, breakfast in the morning was great with so many choices. Looking forward to returning.

Andaman Club is located in an island around the border between Thailand and Burma ( Myanmar ). I went there with the family because my visa ran out and i was looking for something fast. They have their own immigration, which is nice: You hand your passport to them and they will worry about your stamps ( your passport is ready when you check out ) If you like to gamble, not far from Thailand, then i suppose its a good place for you. Their casino is open 24/7 with mostly philipine staff with some thai and from burma. The first floor offers slot machines and the second floor are the tables, where you can play lots of thai games ( pok daeng, etc ) You also have blackjack and rollette. Poker lovers will have to be dissapointed, they do not run t hese games nowadays.

Pros, This was quite a nice hotel to stay in. Food in restaurant very good, good hotel choice for a visa run, rooms were super clean, nice pool (but a little hot), excellent car parking at Thai side crossing, immigration process in and out very good, small but lucky casino(my wife won a few dollars), good check in / out. Cons, no bar in casino for a drink, limited shady seating at pool area, hotel near nothing of interest.

the andaman club is a fantastic place to get away for a few days. the hotel is clean and the staff are absolutely awesome and will tend to your every need. we were particularly impressed with the gym facilities and the swimming pool. our stay was quiet, there were not many guests at the hotel, or at least it seamed as though there were not many guests (they may have been in the casino, a burmese indulgence that you will not find in neighbouring thailand, that attracts quite a few thai nationals), however; we are not a gambling family and didn't check out the casino facilities. the rooms were clean and spacious with breath taking views of the surrounding islands that simple cannot be described. you must note however; take cash! there are no cash machines on the island, on arrival you will need to pay approximately us$ 100 landing fees and transfers, you will also need about 70 dollars for your room deposit too, plus any cash you would like for meals and the duty free! yes that is right, duty free. the andaman club is the only thing on this island, so it has it's own immigration, hotel, golf course, port and duty free, so there is no taking a taxi any where, which is just fine for a family get away for a few days. we will be back again!

Many people who stay in Thailand seem to come to this hotel in an island in Myanmar as part of visa renewal trip. Also, local tourists from other cities in Myanmar are the main guests on weekends when the hotel offer a special dinner and show package. The hotel has a nice pool, a kids club, and a Spa, but when we wanted to go on a snorkelling trip (which was advertised as a tour at the reception), we were told that it was not available due to a bad weather, and then later since it requires a min. of 15 people. Also, the reception first refused to arrange a trip to a beach on the other side of the island because “… all staff are occupied for the preparation for an evening event….”. After much lard negotiation, they agreed to arrange the transport for us (Note: There is no public transport on the island, so all must be arranged by the hotel). When we got to the beach, we were greeted by a calm, palm fringed beach with golden sand. We were the only guest (again) on a long stretch of the beach. Hotel staff who accompanied us brought a table, deck chairs, a parasol, floaters, etc, etc, just for us. The hotel should promote more this very special service/ location they have.

the breakfast was excellent apart from the pre-cooked fried eggs which were looking a bit dried up, plenty of everything else though. no hot water to my 3rd floor room showers. for anybody looking for a large duty free shop, forget it. theirs is adequate but very small. but i will use this hotel again

we arrived only for a one night stay and wished we had booked for longer and taken advantage of the beautiful beach they offer. initially, it was just a short trip to renew our visa, however we will have to do this again in 3 months and next time plan to stay longer and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and amazing cusine they have on offer. they staff were very friendly and could not do enough for us, look forward to returning in the future.

have staid in this hotel quite a lot it ia a very lovely hotel big nice rooms and most of the staf are very good but some need to find a smile very good to place to take it east and relax will sure use this hotel again the hotel has quite a lot of things you can do or just take it easy
