OYO Rooms in Khao Thong from NZ$26

"The hotel did an excellent job decorating our room with a birthday surpise. The place is quiet but not overly secluded. Plenty of eating options and minimarts within 3-5min walking distance. Less than 100baht, you can get a Grab ride to Ao Nang beach. "

"Very hospitable staff "

"Simply fantastic "

"Ignore the slightly perfunctory greeting at the ao po marina office - this place is incredible. We had a 2 bed pool villa and I think it will never be beaten in terms of view and comfort. My tips: 1. take a plug adapter (no international plug in room) 2. make sure you have cash as some restaurants/bars around the resort only take cash and the atm at the local shop is frequently out of order…. 3. It is easy to take a grab to the marina but the marina restricts grab pick ups in favour of their own taxis. We still got a grab to our next destination but had to walk out of the gate of the Marina The staff were the friendliest we have ever had and knew our names and the food and drink was nice and varied. The view from breakfast is wonderful. "

"In the center, but world's apart"

"when the time we arrive, our next room was in construction, the painting smell caused us can't use the balcony. The hotel offering us the deluxe room with the pool but we didn't want to pack all the things back to luggage so we refused, instead they gave us a free meal. The staff was nice and try hard to solve the problem."

"The property was beautiful and well kept and clean. The staff was very helpful and friendly and went out of their way to help me with logistics for transportation and help me make calls and get in touch with our local transfers. I would recommend this resort to my family and friends. The only downside are the stairs going to and from your rooms with limited elevator for easy access. The property sits on a hill."

"The staff was very helpful and really friendly. "

"Fantastic resort, one of the best we've ever stayed at. Room was beautiful and modern, pool was gorgeous, breakfast buffet was excellent. Bed was so comfortable, service was perfect. We hiked the dragon crest trail which starts just steps from the hotel, which was amazing. The only two negatives that I noticed - they had some stray ants around the exterior, and a few managed to make it into our room over our two night stay, and the restaurants were quite expensive, about 3x the cost of a comparable bar/restaurant off premises. Those were minor things though, and we'd definitely visit again. "
