Communicate Pressure Preferences

Thai massage can be intense. Say 'bao bao' for lighter pressure or 'nak nak' for harder. A good therapist will check in, but don't hesitate to speak up — suffering in silence defeats the purpose.

Why go, and how to do it well

The location does most of the work here. You're at the calmer end of Ao Nang Beach, close enough to walk to the bars and restaurants along the strip, far enough that the walk back in the evening is a pleasant one rather than a scramble. The limestone cliff next door is the view people come back talking about, and sunset from the beach or a drink on the terrace is the moment worth planning your day around.

Families do well out of it. There are two pools, one on the beach and one between the buildings with water slides, and the beach itself isn't especially good for swimming, so that beach pool earns its keep. Family Residence rooms suit a couple with two small children. Breakfast gets consistent praise, as do the staff, and there's an app for requests and problems that guests say actually gets used. Honeymooners and wedding parties are a big part of the mix too.

Reviews from Google

This hotel is a very good place to stay during the visit to Ao Nang Beach. My wife and I spent two nights here, with our two small children. We stayed in the Family Residence King which was a good fit for a couple with two children. There are two pools — one on the beach, which is very nice as the beach itself is not so inviting for swimming, and another one between the hotel buildings with two water slides which the kids loved. The breakfast was amazing, and it was one of the best breakfasts we have had during our trip. A wide variety of Asian and local food. A great selection of fresh and tasty fruits in a nice location by the pool. For dinner, we went by foot to the main street and tried out different local restaurants each evening. Overall it's a great hotel with an excellent service!

I had my wedding at this wonderful hotel 17th Feb 26. It was amazing more than I could have asked for. The staff were fantastic and I had no stress the whole day. Both Dave and I were blown away with the location and the decorations. The meal was so delicious and romantic again the staff were so attentive and friendly. We then spent 5 wonderful days enjoying the resort and the hotel facilities. Thank you to Pond and her team who made our wedding and stay in Krabi so unforgettable. If you want a stress free wedding that is set in a wonderful location then this hotel ticks all the boxes.

Great location, beautiful sunsets – just be mindful of resort pricing We recently stayed at this resort and loved the location right on Ao Nang Beach – it’s a stunning spot to watch the sunsets each evening. The hotel is very well maintained and the staff are genuinely friendly and helpful, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The only downside is that some of the on-site services are priced at typical resort levels and are quite expensive compared to what’s available just outside the property. Fortunately, everything you need is within a short walk and much more reasonably priced. Overall, a great place to stay and we would happily recommend it – just don’t be afraid to step outside the resort for better value.

Tips for Visiting Wellness & Spas

Book Longer Sessions

A 60-minute massage is fine, but 90 or 120 minutes allows the therapist to work thoroughly. The price difference is often only 200–400 THB for an extra hour — worth it for a deeper, more relaxing experience.

Try a Herbal Compress

Add a herbal compress (luk pra kob) to your massage — steamed bundles of lemongrass, turmeric, and camphor pressed into sore muscles. It's deeply therapeutic and uniquely Thai. Usually just 200–300 THB extra.
