I stayed at the Pakasai with a friend for a week at the end of November, having been to this resort before. The location suited us being in a quiet spot yet only minutes walk to the beachfront. Our superior room was high up on the hill needing a climb of many steps, which helped shed some calories but might not suit a less able person, although there are rooms near to reception. The room was huge with an enormous bathroom area closed off when required with opaque sliding partitions. I agree with other reviewers that the bed was hard, but it still offered me a good night's rest. Breakfast was slightly above avaerage with good choices, but it still gets a bit monotonous if you stay for a week as we did. Staff were very friendly and efficient, although on checkout there was a delay whilst the minibar was checked. (These things have caused me more delays on checking out than anything else!) The pool was clean and refreshing after a day out in the sun. We liked the beach mats and beach towels, as well as the umbrellas in the room, as it poured on two occasions, it being the low season. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider returning to the Pakasai next time we visit Ao Nang.

The Hotel looks great, but has a very chlorinated pool with the constant sound of construction in the background.
The rooms are large but the hot water did not work.
The biggest problem was the bed, it is as hard as a rock and the pillows are the same. I'm a deep sleeper but even I could not get a good night sleep. We are out of here!!

After having read the positive reviews on the Pakasai we arrived on Friday 3 October and asked if they had a couple of rooms. We were upgraded to the Adora rooms at a very good low season rate. The Pakasai is a reasonably sized hotel, good for mixed parties and couples. It is tucked away up a small driveway just past the bridge in Ao Nang and has a super swimming pool, perfectly clean and with excellent service at the bar area. We also took full advantage of the Happy Hour before walking down the main resort street. There are plenty of shops and agencies where you can book trips to the Phi Phi islands. The hotel is very hospitable and we enjoyed ourselves so much we stayed 4 nights in total.

Stayed here after the Krabi Resort, (2 Mins apart ) and the main difference is the standard of decor, the pakasai has moderrn room design, of a 5 star hotel room.....we got upgraded to the ADORA rooms ....and the staff are better trained....

Bathtub on the balcony was unusual tho private

The pool has depth of 1.20 mtrs so well suited to families with young kids...

And with TUK TUK outside all parts of AO NANG are only 5 minutes away..

Good choice for those that like the comforts of a 5 star hotel room...
