Ao Nang review

The first thing to note is that this hotel is not in Ao Nang but in a small village 10-15 minutes drive out of town. It is very difficult to find, down a series of narrow lanes off the main road. Make sure you have the phone number for your cab driver to call for directions. Once there make sure you carry the hotel's card when out so your driver will find the way back. 

Stayed for one night at the start of the low season and was clearly the only guest staying. The receptionist was welcoming and helpful. 

The room was rustic but comfortable. Unfortunately there was a problem with the water heater in the hotel so only cold showers were available. The weather was cold so that wasn't great!

There really is nothing within walking distance of the hotel and with no other guests staying I didn't fancy eating in the hotel. A shuttle service is laid on a few times a day to get into Ao Nang which was also driven by the receptionist who seemed to do everything. The last shuttle is at 6pm so you have to catch a tuk tuk back after dinner which costs TB 100 (make sure you have the hotel's card for directions as it's very dark on the way back). 

Skipped breakfast the next day but the hotel dropped me back in town to continue my travels. 

The Amandanee is fine if you are looking for a very quiet place, away from all life or if you have your own transport. Otherwise you would be better staying somewhere more central with amenities and beaches to walk to. 

We (fam. of 4) were met by very friendly and English-speaking manager Sue. The rooms we got was spacious, clean and had great bathrooms. Since we arrived late, we did not discover our very nice verandas until the next morning - overlooking a beautiful pool and garden area. Since the hotel is located a short distance outside AoNang center, its beautiful and quiet - perfect to come "home" to - after a busy day/night spent out. Sue, her sisters and staff helped us with everything! And always seemed to be happy :-) We stayed 2 weeks - and had a wonderful time at Andamanee B Resort! We recommend to rent bikes (at the hotel) and take a morning-trip to town, or just a morning swim at the first beach (just 3-4. min. bike-ride away) The hotel also provide some free rides to AoNang during the day. To get back - is no problem to get a tuk-tuk taxi from town (to low cost) Great hotel - friendly and helpful staff - nice town, unforgettable long-tail-boat-rides to the wonderful small islands, diving and snorkeling, and hot-spring in the jungle - made our stay perfect!

This hotel is run by a lovely family. It was very relaxing Nothing was to much trouble if you asked sue for infomation she would go out of her way to help you. It was very clean and tidy hotel with extremly nice rooms the pool was a pure pleasure. they run a curtesy bus to town and from town. Its a quiet location it was perfect for us not to far from town you can get a tu tu for next to nothing. they have scooters for hire at the hotel.

Like all places there are good and bad points.
Good: pool, shower, tidy grounds

Bad: location- very far from all things, breakfast was limited in selection and quality, most of all the owners were unprofessional and rude- not the experience that we had throughout the rest of Thailand.
