Description
The Somkeit's grounds are so packed with foliage it looks like it just sprang up from the jungle, and amidst all the greenery is a beautiful infinity pool cum tropical lagoon. Paths winding through the gardens lead to a series of two-story buildings (some of which don't quite blend in) housing the rooms and the rooms here are exquisite, with large living-room areas and spacious, if not very private, balconies. We've heard complaints that the staff can be a bit icy, and we definitely got that vibe on our visit. Also, the Muslim-run Somkiet doesn't serve alcohol and frowns upon guests sneaking it into the rooms. But otherwise, this is probably the best place in town in the price range.

Phra Nang Inn
PO Box 25, Ao Nang
The Phranang Inn has definitely got character. We found the staff to be really easy-going and accessible -- a welcome relief from the 'too bored and too busy' reception we got elsewhere. The decor here is sort of hard to describe -- the exteriors are sort of Swiss Family Robinson, but the interiors... more
Ao Nang Princeville Resort and Spa
164 Moo 2 Ao Nang
This a pleasant and professional hotel -- probably the pick of the litter among mid-range accommodation along the Ao Nang beach road. The superior rooms are glorified guesthouse rooms -- certainly overpriced for what you get, but the deluxe rooms are quite a big step up -- tastefully decorated and... more
Ao Nang Villa
113 Moo 2 Ao Nang
This large luxurious hotel has a variety of white-washed and spotless rooms spread over its spacious rounds. Located a short walk away from Ao Nang town, the resort is placed on a serene stretch of the beach, though the pool and grounds here are so nice you need not venture that far out.... more
Krabi Resort
232 Moo 2 Ao Nang
This sprawling resort, while a little dated, has quite good value mid-range accommodation, particularly the beachside bungalows which are a very good size -- though their glass fronts take away some privacy. There are more rooms in the associated hotel overlooking the pool, which is quite big, if a... more
Ao Nang Sea Front Thai Resort
273 Moo 2 Ao Nang
This hotel has two wings, The Resort and The Guesthouse. The latter is cheaper and pretty featureless while the former is better designed while slightly more expensive. Neither wing is outstanding value, but all the rooms are kept spotless, the pool is pleasant and the hotel's location is... more
Krabi Golden Beach Resort
254 Moo 2 Ao Nang
This large fading resort is a short walk away from the main strip of bars and restaurants. The pool here has something to offer -- large, near the beach, with elephant-shaped fountains and pool toys for the kids. But the rooms are only adequate, and well-overpriced to boot. You'll find far better... more
