Ao Prao is a secluded bay on Ko Samet, which has not been spoiled by over development and overcrowding. Comfortable cottages set up the hillside overlooking a beautiful sandy beach. Welcoming and helpful staff. Not cheap, but worth every penny. 21/2 hours from Bangkok and a short speedboat ride makes it easy to get at. Better mid- week, as relatively... More

Koh Samet is a very convenient 2.5 hour drive and 30 minute ferry from Bangkok so it is no wonder it is such a popular destination. Ao Prao Resort is a premium resort on a very beautiful and clean part of the island. It has everything you might want from a beach holiday, nice rooms, good service (apart from one... More

Traveled there between 27 Apr - 2 May 2012. We took a 3-hr bus ride down from Bangkok, for travelers who is looking for directions, you may purchase the bus tickets easily from Ekkamai Bus Terminal, situated near the BTS Ekkamai station. Exit left of the station, and you will pass by a mini 7-11 store behind it would be... More

The beach is amazing - a paradise of a place. Resort is pretty and different but let down in places - service is patchy and everything winds down EARLY. Arriving on the first night at 9pm, turned up at one of the restaurants at 9.30pm and the guy clearly didn't want us to eat there although it opened until 10.30.... More

Well where should I start!!!! The holiday was booked as a surprise break for my fiancée and I was expecting something special. The pictures in the holiday brochure were excellent and the previous reviews had been reasonably good, however this was not the case. Accommodation: The rooms are nice, very simple in design but have everything you need for your... More

Having been travelling around this was the worst resort we stayed in. The food was poor, the staff didn't seem to want to serve you, we waited 45 min for two drinks and paid £12 for two drinks and a pancake (the same food was about £3- £5 in our last resort). We don't mind paying more if there was... More

We recently stayed 9 nights at beautiful Ao Prao Resort. We had a fantastic and very relaxed time there. Our room (Deluxe Cottage 107) was comfortable and clean although the floor looked a bit worn. The food in all restaurants of the hotel group (Breeze, Buzz, O) is excellent (!) and Mr. Payab (the restaurant manager) and his very friendly... More

We didn't book into a top resort and for a mid range palce it did enough - rooms clean and had AC and bathroom. Also good balcony and you look down to the beach which is only 20 feet away. Loved the beach which was never crowded and we ate every night along the beach at the far restaurant which... More

This resort is very well located and has a very good beach considering that we are not too far from Pattaya. The rooms are pretty nice and are thai style with lots of wood. They are set on a hill so if you are at the top be sure to be fit and willing to walk up stairs. There are... More
