“Lovely”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Lovely place, just off main street but down a little lane so nice and quiet once you enter the resort its like being in middle of jungle. Rooms very good size with really private balcony overlooking the lagoon.

Grounds very nicely maintained, yes there are bugs at night outside but nothing to worry about, no bugs in the rooms.

Pool area very nice but sun lounger area is mainly dappled shade - I had to switch sunbeds to stay in the sun!

We had a room on the 1st floor number - I think the downstairs rooms may be a bit dark.

Only area to improve was the water pressure in the shower was low and the shower riser wasn't high enough, the air con was slightly noisy but didn't stop us from sleeping soundly.

No alcohol in the hotel (Muslim run) but 7/11 store at the top of the lane - hardly a chore to top up your own fridge!

3000 THB a night was money well spent

the hotel is swarming with cockroaches, after i killed the second cockroach , i called room service , they sprayed insecticide , and the room stink for the rest of the night, in the morning we found two more dead cockroaches, so overall 4 cockroaches for one night, we complained to the manger in the morning and after a query that she wanted to make with maintenance , she decided to compensate us with a measly 1000 bht.

am not going to cockroach pardise ever again

“Oase in Ao Nang”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

This hotel is an oase of rest and nature in the centre of Ao Nang. We were looking for a comfortable hotel in Ao Nang before going to Ton Sai and Railay. We stayed even longer due to relaxed atmosphere and the comforts of Ao Nang. Spacy, clean, comfortable rooms in a beautiful garden. Away from any noises.

“Magnificent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

person found this review helpful

My family stayed at the hotel in March 2011.
We had a spacious room, more than enough for a family of 3. The large terrace looks out onto a pond full of life. We were happy to hear all these live sounds. Although the hotel is not on the beach, you'd have a great time there. Close to shops and food stalls, close to night life, but at the same time away in the jungle. The jungle feeling offers complete relaxation. Pictures don't lie. We stayed only for 5 days but I wish we had been there longer.
I rarely recommmend a hotel but this one I strongly Do.

“Feeling like staying in a jungle, good location but poor service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We stayed in this hotel for 2 days in February 2011 after staying in Aonang Orchid. You can't compare the two hotels as both are being built on different concepts. I you like jungle & greenery, you will love to stay here. This hotel is not very far from beach. Food was ok. Service was not that good. Reception ladies are quite rude for customers.
