Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort

Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived, but they offered us complimentary drinks by the pool while we waited, and it ended up being only 30 minutes. The staff were all so kind and went out of their way to welcome us. A special thank you to Chef Sanjay at Pano Café for paying close attention to our vegan diet and making sure we had options. He even made us a vegan brownie so we’d feel looked after. Thank you, Avani and Chef Sanjay. This is one of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in, and definitely the best in Thailand. The rooms were spectacular, and the views from the infinity pool and Pano Café were breathtaking.

We had room 5602, with a stunning sea view and excellent air conditioning. Chef Tiger and Sanjay prepared the food, and every dish from their team at the terrace cafes was a delight. Breakfast had all the usual choices and more. The staff were wonderful and ready to help with anything. Bird at the breakfast buffet was the standout for us. He seemed to take real pride in doing a perfect job, and went above and beyond with such genuine care. Say hi to Bird. Safe travels.

It was peak season, so we paid peak prices, but the stay was absolutely worth it. I’d return to Krabi in any season. The resort is in a great spot, with restaurants, massage shops, and convenience stores close by, and the beach only a few minutes’ walk away. Tour pickups were easy too. Drivers knew the resort, and we could wait in the cool lobby. From our balcony, the pool, and the restaurant, we could see both the sea and limestone cliffs. The room was in great condition, and the balcony was genuinely useful for drying swimsuits and clothes after a swim. Breakfast had a fresh buffet with plenty of variety, and the pool area was lovely, with a relaxing atmosphere, beautiful views, and lots of comfortable sun beds.

Our room was on the seventh floor of the top building, a “superior sea view room,” and it was spacious with a lovely big balcony and beautiful views of the sea. The pools were great, and the breakfast buffet had lots of variety, with both indoor seating and seats overlooking the sea. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. We loved staying at Avani!
