Centara Ao Nang Beach Resort & Spa

On the whole a lovely place, large, well equipped, clean rooms. Fabulous on site spa. Friendly staff.Great pool areas. Food at the beachside restaurant was lovely. Set right on the beach at a quieter part of Ao Nang but an easy 10 minute walk to the centre. Location suited us as the centre is brash but it’s a good place for getting boat trips, so that was our trade off as with only a few days in the area it meant no time wasted travelling in from more remote places. Unfortunately our room overlooked the drain that runs through the property which wasn’t always smelling sweet. However, on a plus it was great for the bird life and even saw a monitor lizard swimming up! We found breakfast was adequate, lots of choice, the egg station was great, maybe some items were not top quality but it served its purpose. Would advise going early as it gets a bit chaotic. Great that sunbeds can’t be reserved all day, if you leave, the attendants will remove towels after a period of time. This makes it fair for everyone to get a bit of relaxation by the pool rather than beds left unoccupied with towels on them for hours on end. On the whole would recommend for location, room size, cleanliness and staff…..and the spa!!

We had a fantastic stay at Centara Ao Nang and would happily return. The staff were genuinely warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived, and the hotel is beautifully maintained with clean, comfortable rooms. The location is a huge plus, just steps from the beach and shops, making everything very convenient. Although it’s a busy resort, it never felt overwhelming and there was always a quiet corner to relax. Breakfast offered plenty of fresh options. While it may feel slightly repetitive for longer stays, everything was tasty and well prepared. We stayed during the UK February half term and were surprised there weren’t many children around. The kids’ club looked clean and well run when we passed by. A tip: do your own research for restaurants and massages, as the TripAdvisor ratings weren't reliable. The best massages were on the beach to the left of the hotel exit. We tried a few of the massage shops but didn’t find them as good. We also highly recommend the Hong Island tour with Muk Andaman Travel, which was very well organised, felt very safe and was a beautiful day out. Excellent location, and truly kind hospitality. We left with lovely memories and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Krabi.

Travelling as a group of 5 for a multi-centre holiday in Thailand. This was our third hotel and our base for four nights to explore the Ao Nang area. The rooms we had were 5406, 5407 5408 Pros Universal plugs in the room Sunsets Happy hour twice a day Good toast Location good to get around Cons Shoe horned in around pool and beach

We LOVED everything about this hotel. It was pristine, beach front with great location to walk to the shops, bars, restaurants and also for the long tail boats but far enough that it’s not crowded. Breakfast was always perfect and the staff were lovely Can’t recommend this place enough.

Way overpriced. More like a 2 or 3 star hotel. Pool area is small , rooms need updating. Overall Mediocre . Staff was nice and breakfast decent. Wasn’t impressed especially being that we pad over $2000 usd for 4 nights . Location is good if you want to be close to All the restaurants and partying.
