The hype
Guests are obsessed with the pool and views, but many find the multi-elevator system annoying and the rooms a bit damp.
Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort (Sha Extra+)
$150-250 / nakti
Rezervējiet, ja You want the best infinity pool views in Ao Nang and don't mind climbing a few stairs to get them.
Kāpēc cilvēki to mīl
- The cliffside infinity pool offers arguably the best sunset views in town
- Rooms with private balcony bathtubs overlooking the limestone karsts
- Central location surrounded by shops, yet elevated enough to feel secluded
Ātrs apskats: A photogenic 4-star resort that trades a bit of legwork (stairs/lifts) for killer views, though the humidity battles in the rooms are real.
Pārskatīts: @Tinitravels: I stayed here for a romantic trip and was blown away. The balcony view over Ao Nang is iconic, and the infinity pool right against the cliff is the coolest swim I've ever had. Totally recommend for couples.

Reality check
The 'Sea View' rooms are worth the upgrade; 'Superior' rooms often just stare at a tree or the street.
- You prioritize a pool with a view over direct beach access
- You want to be in the heart of the action near 7-Elevens and street food
- You are fit enough to handle some stairs and steep walks
Tīrība un apkope
8.2
- Housekeeping: Daily and generally thorough, though they sometimes miss dust on high shelves.
- Bathroom hygiene: Grout is usually clean, but rusty showerheads and calcium buildup are common complaints.
- Maintenance: The biggest issue. Peeling paint and 'tired' furniture in non-renovated rooms are visible.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and white, but can feel slightly damp due to the ambient humidity.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like lemongrass; some rooms have a lingering musty/damp smell that AC can't quite kill.

BUJ un paslēptie paņēmieni
Viss, kas jums patiešām jāzina pirms grāmatošanas.
Is there a lot of climbing involved?
Yes. While there are lifts, you often have to take one, walk a bit, then take another. It's a vertical resort.
Is the pool crowded?
The main infinity pool gets packed at sunset (5-6pm). Go mid-morning or late evening for a chill swim.
Are there monkeys?
Not usually in the rooms, but you will see them on the 'Monkey Trail' to Pai Plong beach nearby. Keep balcony doors locked just in case.
Is it directly on the beach?
No. It's on a cliff *overlooking* the sea. You have to walk about 5-10 minutes down the main road to touch the sand.
How is the WiFi?
Generally fast and reliable (9.9/10 rating on booking sites), good enough for streaming.
Is breakfast included?
Depends on your rate, but it's highly recommended. The spread is extensive with Thai, Western, and Indian options.
Insider padomi
- ✨
Use the 'Monkey Trail' (wooden walkway at the end of Ao Nang beach) to reach Pai Plong Beach—it's much quieter and cleaner than Ao Nang beach.
- ✨
The rooftop bar 'The Peak' has a happy hour that coincides with sunset; get there by 5pm to snag a front-row beanbag.
- ✨
There is a back exit/shortcut near the lower pool that can save you some walking if you're heading to certain parts of town.
5 lietas, kas jāzina pirms doties
💡The 'Sea View' from some lower rooms is actually a 'Tree View'—you need to be high up.
💡The elevators are slow and unventilated; you will sweat while waiting.
💡Room service prices are surprisingly reasonable compared to local tourist traps.
💡The bathroom layout in some rooms is 'open concept' with sliding doors that don't fully lock—awkward for friends traveling together.
💡You can hear the mosque's call to prayer clearly from the higher floors (atmospheric for some, waking for others).
