Andaman Holiday Resort Reviews

This place is a little piece of paradise in Krabi. Very quiet and tranquil,real back to nature stuff but with first class service etc.

Set in what was once a rubber plantation with an abudance of beautiful flowers and trees. Beautiful white sand beach but need aqua shoes at low tide (coral still being washed up folllowing Tsunami), but no trouble at high tide. Two lovely places on beach for massage. Full 1 hour oil body massage 300 baht, heaven!

Several good eating places close to entrance of resort, Daddys Home being one, good food at bargain prices. Another one 200yds down beach, Ruaen Siam, again excellent food, friendly services, bargain prices.

There are two restaurants in the resort itself, although dearer than outside,
still very reasonable and good food. One restaurant is right by the beach, it is lovely.

Staff are so friendly and helpful, and always with the Thai smile. There are three swimming pools all good.

There are several standards of accommodation: Cottages, which have good size rooms and very clean, but rather small bathroom and small patio. Having said that, they are set in beautiful gardens and have there own swimming pool.

Next is standard rooms, they are of a good size,well decorated and as with everything else in the resort, spotlessly clean. Small bathrooms again, combined bath and shower and small balcony. These are close to the main building and lobby.

Next, superior rooms, these are huge with an enormous bathroom. Again, everything spotless. Nice position and small balcony/terrace.

Then comes the Villas, the room are exactly the same as the superior rooms, but with lovely terrace and wonderful roof terrace with loungers and chairs, bliss!!
This is what we stayed in, having upraded from a standard room at a very resonable price.

Also at the entrance to the resort are a couple of small shops selling foods, drinks etc plus taxi services, trip booking (cheaper than hotel), internet access and two places for laundry. 1kg of laundry washed and ironed for 60 baht. Used this service twice, excellent results and no washing to take home!

The hotel runs a frequent free bus to and from Ao Nang (about 15 mins). This is a great place with just about anything you could want whilst on holiday, bars, clubs, tailors(my husband had a lovely suit made to measure for a silly price), restaurants, food shops,etc. Really good choice here for all sorts of trips including ferry tickets to Phi Phi, Phuket and many other places.

We took a four island trip which included, picking up from hotel and returning, trip round four islands by long tail boat, all snorkelling equipment, lunch, drinking water and fruit. Left at 9.30 returned at 4pm, all for the princely sum of about £6 each! It was a really good trip and would recommend it. You can also get a long tail boat to Railay beach for 60 baht each way.

There is a 'bus' that runs from Ao Nang to Krabi town about every 10/15 mins for 30 baht each way.

Back at the resort there is 'happy hour' between 6-7pm and 10-11pm including two cocktails for the price of one, can highly recommend them.

I could go on about this place all day, it really was lovely. We met many people who were on their 4th and 5th stays. We will most certainly be returning.

One of the best Holidays ever! Having visited Goa earleier in the year we decided to vetnure further East and were not disappinted.

Stayed for three nights in Bangkok at Amari Atrium. The hotle was superb and the breakfast wonderful. Enjoyed visiting River Kwai and all the shopping. Best of all were two visits to Suam Lum night bazaar. Good shopping (especially DVD and CDs) and a huge seated football size arena featuring good quality live bands every night. Great atmosphere and the whole arean is surrounded by food and drink stalls with amazing prices.

The second part of the holiday saw us fly Thai Airlines to Krabi. When we first arrived at the Andaman Holiday Resort in Klong Muang we thought the taxi driver had taken us to the wrong place! A truly wonderful hotel in amost unbelievably beautiful setting. Fantastic food and lovely swimming pool with a deserted Beach. The staff were excellent even by Thai standards. Hired a boat for the day and went to various islands as well as mangrove swamps where monkeys jumped onto the boat and ate all our bananas.

Not much else around other than the resort but a short taxi ride (20 mins) each night took us to Ao Nang which was quite lively and had a number of good restaurants.

After a lovely relaxing 9 days we moved on to Phuket for four days at Kata Beach. The hotel here (Peach Hill Resort) was OK but nowhere near as good as the others. Kata Beach was nice and less crowded than some other resorts. The island is pretty but a little too crowded at times. However, Patong is worth visiting at night as it is interesting to say the least, and there ar some great places to eat.

All in all one of the very holidays ever. We will be returning for sure and will visit Krabi again. Food was as cheap as India and so varied.

If anyone reading this is considering going to Krabi do not even think of staying anywhere other than Andaman Holiday Resort in Klong Muang Beach!!

Very nice hotel. Restaurant expensive by Thailand standards (8-12 pounds a head), but there are 6 restaurants right outside the hotel which are much cheaper (we had trouble spending 4 pounds per person) and extremely high quality, including one right on the beach.

No night life around here, but the cheap hotel minibus (or a cheap taxi) is only 20 minutes from Ao Nang which is getting busier by the day apparantly.

Some good trips available, including boat trips from the guys on the beach, 15 pounds for a boat all day including the skipper and lunch.
