"I stayed at this hotel for 20 days and had a very pleasant experience overall.
The staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and always attentive, which made a long stay very comfortable.
The hotel was very clean and gave a new, well-maintained impression throughout my stay. Everything felt fresh and taken care of.
The location is decent, although it is not directly at Ao Nang Beach, so you may need a short ride to get there. However, this was not a major issue for me.

Lively bar, from what I have been told, as I have not visited.
Staff was hit and miss once happy and friendly once moody.(Same people)

"Krabi is incredible, definitely go. That being said, I loved Koko Hostel but it’s not for everyone. Older building, run down amenities, leaky water connections everywhere. Koko does a great job of bringing people together, lots of hostel sponsored events and gatherings, I’ll be back for sure! "

"We had a wonderful stay at Varana Hotel in Krabi. The hotel is beautifully designed, aesthetic, and meticulously maintained. The staff is exceptionally welcoming and always happy to help with a smile at any time.
The facilities are top-notch: the fitness center is hands down one of the best you'll find in a hotel, and the spa and treatment area is of a very high standard.
A couple of things to keep in
mind:
Spa amenities: The wet/dry sauna is only open for about three hours a day (split into single-hour slots) and comes with an extra fee, which was a bit disappointing.
Location: The hotel is located about a 15-minute drive from central Ao Nang. This means you will likely find yourself commuting there once or twice a day if you're looking for attractions or taking boat trips to the islands (like Railay or Phi Phi), which are a must-do."
"There is nothing bad to say about our stay at the Rayavadee resort. The entire staff were extremely respectful and helpful. Whatever we needed they were there to help. The staff all seemed to know our schedule for each day which made it nice when it came to cleaning our room or for the evening turn down service.. they always worked around us. When our toilet in our Villa developed a small leak they came immediately to try and repair it. When it appeared to be something they could not do quickly, they immediately moved and upgraded us from a one bedroom villa with pool to a two bedroom villa with pool.
The activities department was extremely helpful in recommending and coordinating our offsite activities. Salma and Mario did an outstanding job in booking out our tours and hiding us through them.
The food in all the restaurants was outstanding but the breakfast that was included with the room each day is one of the best we’ve ever had. Great mix of local dishes and western food that changed on a daily basis to fresh fruit, salad, cheese, etc.
I would not hesitate to stay there the next time we visit Thailand."
"Overall a pleasant stay with plenty of activities and restaurants around. Breakfast is excellent with many choices to choose from. There is some constructions going on at the time but does not affect the atmosphere of the facility that much"
"We checked in late and did not get the exact room advertised with a cliff view. However we were moved to the right room that next day upon request. Overall 4 out of 5 stars recommended."
"Our first stay at Avani Ao Nang Cliff was to celebrate my dad’s birthday with our extended family, following our previous experience at the Ko Lanta property. From arrival to departure, the thoughtful hospitality, polished service, and attention to detail created an elevated and memorable experience. The check-in and check-out processes were seamless, efficient, and exceptionally warm. Special thanks to Pine, Nutty, Milk, Beem, and Tiger for making breakfast truly exceptional. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for making this celebration so memorable. 10/10 overall experience. We look forward to returning to Krabi."
"Here’s a more elevated, luxury-travel version while still sounding genuine and personal:
We had an exceptional stay at BlueSotel Smart Krabi and were genuinely impressed from the moment we arrived. We decided to upgrade our room at check-in, and the staff graciously accommodated us with an early check-in, which was such a wonderful way to begin our stay.
The entire property feels modern, stylish, and beautifully maintained. Every staff member we encountered was warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. The rooftop pool was an absolute highlight—the stunning views, beautiful setting, and relaxed atmosphere made it the perfect place to unwind.
The location is another major plus. The hotel is just steps from the beach and within easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, and access to take the speedboat to the other islands, making it incredibly convenient while still feeling like a relaxing escape.
We would absolutely stay at BlueSotel Smart again and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a stylish and memorable stay in Ao Nang, Krabi."
