We stayed at this hotel for 8 nights, the rooms are large, clean and spacious. There isnt a lift so if you struggle with stairs I would ask for a ground floor room.

It's about a 5 min walk from hotel in to the main street in ao nang, which was fine for us.

The pool area was quiet whilst we stayed and we never had a problem getting a sunlounger. I quite liked the astroturf around the pool area and there is a pool bar.

Breakfast was nothing special, but it was exactly what I would expect. Plenty of fresh fruit, cereal, toast, an egg station, salad and even curry! The hotel food and drink and was more expensive than most restaurants in ao nang. We never ate at the hotel so I cant comment on the food quality etc.

My biggest criticism of the hotel was the staff. They seemed really miserable. They were always polite but I always felt as if they were fed up! I found their English to be pretty poor at times, which could be frustrating, I would expect them to speak basic English in an international hotel.

A few tips on ao nang:
The beaches in ao nang aren't that great, but you can easily take a short boat ride to railay beach, phranang beach, poda island, chicken island, tup island. They're all really beautiful.
There are plenty of restaurants in ao nang, we liked them all and didn't have a bad meal, and it's very cheap especially if you like Thai food.

This hotel does not have a hotel feel, more like apartments. It's a bit away from the main road but access to the main drag and beach is not too far.
the 8 nights we were there we had a large party ofd Fins staying and were woken at 7:30 by pool aerobics music and shouting. The music at the poolside bar is unavoidable and starts too early and who really needs it?
Beds are hard but ok and the general stadards of cleanliness etc. is good. Breakfast is monotonous and limited and there's only one toaster!
In all it's good enough but won't thrill you.
We asked several times about the bus to the "secret beach" but were fobbed off, we never did get there. Railay is a boat ride away and beautiful, see it!
It's not a bad place to base yourself from to see the islands and the pools are very nice.

Stayed 10 days 14th Nov 2012 with my husband, we are 29. The hotel is clean and well maintained, rooms are large and very Thai which is nice. Pool area is very nice although why you'd choose a pool over the beach is beyond me here they are more than beautiful. Breakfast is standard there is something there for everyone. The hotel is a 5-10 min walk from the beach and main resort, there are tuk tuks available but we walked everyday without really thinking about it, however if we had known the resort prior to booking we probably would have gone for one of the beach front hotel for ease.There is a shuttle to the secret beach at 9/10/11 daily but you have to ask about it they dont tell you, we only knew about it from trip advisor, this beach is amazing there was only us and one other couple on it and it has a nice restaurant. Only negative about the hotel was on check out we were bascially accused of stealing the laundry bag! they have a list in the room stating if you take the slippers or light bulb!! etc they'll charge you x amount so maybe they get their rooms emptied?? but they send someone into the room to check everything when you leave the room so if they are going to say something is missing they should check properly as this was not a good last impression. Overall a great stay. Ao Nang is not a huge place but good for seeing the islands, there are enough restaurants for a week or so, would probably recommend 7 days here. Out and about we did the phi phi tour only £22 each so good value but the bits you've gone to see are rushed, only half an hour at maya bay (the beach). Also James bond tour a long drive to the boat, nearly 2 hours, again half an hour at the bond Island but the scenery getting there and back was awesome, worth doing only £16each. The thai boxing on friday night was really good but is more expensive than we thought it would be, £24each for ringside but worth the extra for being up close to the action on a leather sofa, drinks here are same as anywhere else so that's good. We wanted to do the shooting range but after walking up there it was so expensive (about £16 for 10 bullets only getting to use one gun) we gave it a miss. There is some night life in Krabi there is a alleyway full of ladyboy bars which is an experience not to miss up the McD's end and there is centre point across from the beach where there's a mixture of bars, some with strippers etc top floor KR's is good for some live music and no sleeze, After 2 weeks in thailand a bit of pole dancing seems normal. Restaurants not to miss Lay lei grill up the hill amazing view and service and food very good, hill top restaurant up there not so good, wouldn't bother. Wanna's place is hot but the food really good and Thailandia is lovely.

i visited thai village hotel in oct this year.
i didnt find the experience as i thought it would be.
the meal at breakfast wasnt very good and we were watched as we ate which was a bit unnerving.
we had to pay for wifi daily ,the surrounding area around outside of hotel was not very clean,and i didnt find the beach very clean either.
this hotel would be good if you just wanted to sit at pool all day.
the bed in executive room was really firm and i found i had a very sore back next day.
