“Great value for a relaxing stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

We chose this hotel for 3 nights and were pleased with our stay. The weather during our time in Krabi was changeable and having a small pool with a fantastic view and comfortable lounge chairs, along with a reasonably priced bar/restaurant meant we did not feel trapped in our room nor did we waste days when the weather was not good enough to go island hopping or to the beach. Perhaps the only downside was twice during our stay we had to argue with the bar staff about happy hour prices not being honored on our bill despite orders having been placed at the right time - but it was quickly rectified.

The room we had was nicely decorated and had the fridge, A/C and decent free Wifi. The only niggle was a slight sewer odour in the bathroom but we think it was a general plumbing issue. Closing the bathroom door did the trick.

Staff were friendly and efficient. They were very busy during breakfast but turned orders around quickly and always with a smile. Reception staff were also very helpful and polite.

One thing to note: the photos on the website show rooms at the very back of the property and those rooms may have been more expensive or for long stay. We had a room closer to the reception, the outside of which did not look like the photos but inside was better. It was slightly smaller than expected. However, we still got a great deal and we found hanging out by the pool to be the most relaxing part of our holiday and a very good alternative to active days we spent on the boats traveling to other islands.

This area of Ao Nang is in the outskirts, further away from the beach but we had no problems with the short walk and found the restaurants near the hotel to be reasonably priced and good value. You really can find everything you need at your doorstep as soon as you step out of the hotel.

“Good quiet location, great service, but...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

It's hard to find a decent hotel in the Ao Nang beach area, otherwise you'll have to choose a far-from-center hotel or travel up north to luxury hotel in a dead areas.
But there are a few (3)... Ao Nang Paradise Resort & Longstay is one.
we took the best room there - named "MT", which is large, almost detached from others, right on the pool, large private balcony and facing the magnificent lime mountain and swamp.

The area is very quiet and away from the street and 10 min. walk to the beach and noisy area.

The hotel looks great and the stuff is above all expectation! Very nice people that are willing to help all day and night.

The hotel and pool are clean and maintained on daily basis.
breakfast is adequate.
Kettle in the room, large TV screen, a bit hard mattress.

The only bad point is the lack of hot water... Yes - no hot water in the bathroom sink and a fast-warming electric device in the shower, which is not enough. the stuff was willing to replace a room but it seems all rooms are alike in this issue.

Advice for the management: Use a central solar-assisted hot water system (you do have lot of sun) - that will cost you much less the hungry, inefficient heaters in the shower, and connect hot water also for the sink.

This hotel is recommended as for location, quietness, great service and price, despite the above issue!

Room Tip: Room "MT" is the best, though it's a the farest from the street, down the slope and ne...

“Enjoyable stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2013

Our son introduced us to ao nang paradise, and I must say I was sceptical, but on our arrival, the staff were very efficient and lovey, the rooms were not large but very comfortable (A2)u had everything u needed, the bed firm but ok ( slept on worse). Ao nang paradise is not in the hub of things, but there are bars around you, so it is quiet ( just what we like) , but yet only a 10 min walk to the beach and all the main night life area. Value for money.. I would have no hesitation staying at ao nang paradise when I return....

“Value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 25, 2012

I booked on last minute, absolutelly no suprise everything as per Tripadvisor comments, value for money in central location,with good service etc.. I would give excellent rating to this resort , but there was one negative particularly as we were there in rainy season.
This resort is not handicapped , elderly and strolers friendly , long walk , various levels and steps , ramps no handrails and change of surfaces which tend to be slipery , but if you are young no worries , it looks very trendy. .
If you want really enjoy this resort go after rooms in new addition with prefix H.

“Good hotel but with mosquitoes!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 23, 2012

This is a good hotel in a convenient location. Best features include helpful staff who provide good advice about tours, services and attractions. We had a spacious and clean room (we stayed in h3). Breakfast is included and is sufficient. On the negative side our room did not have screens so mosquitos were a problem and unfortunately we had a noisy and particularly smelly air conditioner. Overall this is a good hotel in this price range. Ao nang is fun place to spend a couple of nights. Don't miss a speed boat trip to phi phi island and a visit to Railway beach.
