Amadha Villas Retreat

4.2(237 reviews)

Tucked along a soi in Ao Nang, Amadha Villas Retreat offers villa-style accommodation set among palm trees, providing a noticeably calmer atmosphere than the main resort strip. The property suits travellers who prefer more space and privacy than a standard hotel room — particularly families, couples, or small groups looking to decompress after days spent island-hopping, rock climbing, or exploring Krabi's coastline. The surrounding greenery gives the grounds a relaxed, semi-secluded feel.

Visitor experiences at Amadha are genuinely mixed, which is worth factoring into expectations. Guests who arrive by scooter or with their own transport tend to rate the stay highly, appreciating the peaceful setting and clean, comfortable rooms. Those relying on the property's shuttle service or expecting resort-level facilities and cleanliness have reported inconsistencies, with some finding the location inconvenient without independent transport and standards falling short on occasion. The property itself sits closer to a quiet villa complex than a full-service resort in terms of amenities.

If you’re renting a scooter like we did, this place is honestly perfect. It’s tucked away from the busy city center, which made it feel calm and relaxing, but at the same time it was only about 5–10 minutes from all the fun spots and main attractions. We loved having that balance. What really stood out to me was the service. The staff were genuinely friendly and always helpful. When the AC in our room stopped working, they fixed it right away without any issues, which I really appreciated. I’d personally highly recommend staying here whether you’re traveling with family or just need a peaceful place to recharge. The combination of great service, kind staff, and a relaxing location made our stay feel easy and comfortable.

The room was not so clean i found ants on the bed and hair in the bath room. The location is pretty far from the center. They offer a free Transport Service three times a day. However i often had to go for a bolt/grab which is sometimes hard to get as apparently many drivers don't want to do that Route. If possible i would recommend a location that is more close to the center as the constant taxi rides quickly add up. I wanted to rent a scooter but they insisted on my passport as a deposit (which only shady rental places do), so i declined and rented some where else.

We recently stayed at this hotel in Ao Nang and overall had a mixed experience. The location is definitely one of its biggest advantages. It’s surrounded by many palm trees, which creates a beautiful tropical atmosphere. Although it is a bit further from the center of Ao Nang, getting around with a scooter is easy and convenient, so this was not an issue for us. We would also like to highlight that the young man at the reception was very polite and helpful, and some of the other staff members were friendly as well. After check-out, we even received a small souvenir as a gift, which was a very kind gesture and left a nice final impression. Unfortunately, there were also some downsides. The room did not look like it did in the pictures, but that would not have been such a big problem if the cleanliness had been at a better level. We were quite disappointed with the overall hygiene. For a hotel in this price range and category, we believe that at least the cleanliness should meet a higher standard. In conclusion, while the hotel has a great location and some genuinely kind staff members, the issues with cleanliness were disappointing. Sadly, despite the positive aspects, we would not choose to stay here again.
