The hotel

Krabi, on Thailand's shimmering southwest coast, promises an exotic and laid-back vision of Southeast Asia with plenty of fun things to do and idyllic locations to rest and take it easy. Ao Nang Beach, around 30-minute drive from Krabi Airport, is absolutely no exception and checking into the Holiday Inn Resort presents an excellent chance to experience the traditional charm and hospitality of Thailand, all within an extremely reasonable budget. Thanks to the resort's setting you'll find everything you need either on-site or within walking distance with daily kids' clubs, playgrounds and teen-focused areas ensuring the whole family has a unforgettable time away from home. Just over 170 guest rooms, and suites, including kids' suites, provide a contemporary and pristine pocket to call your very own, with some stunning pool, bay and garden views to take in from your private balcony or terrace area. If getting closer to the action's more your thing, then there's a freeform pool, water slides and a swim-up pool bar, all ready and waiting and thanks to complimentary WiFi, making the folks back home green with envy is now easier than ever. A visit to the fully-equipped Salila Spa or state-of-the-art fitness suite, are just what you need to work up an appetite which is all good as you'll find a rooftop restaurant and choice of bars to help you unwind and relax after yet another awesome day in paradise.

I had a wonderful stay at Holiday Ao Nang Beach Resort and highly recommend it. From the moment I arrived, the staff, especially Dao, Jade, Taeng, Bang and Chi made us feel welcome with their attentive service. They were always friendly, quick to assist, and genuinely cared about making our stay enjoyable. The rooms were fantastic—spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The bed was cozy, and the amenities were thoughtfully provided. The pool area was a real highlight. It was clean, well-maintained, and a great place to unwind. Whether swimming or relaxing on a lounger, it felt like a peaceful retreat. The lounge bar, fitness centre and kid's club was also a highlight at the resort. Overall, the resort offered the perfect mix of great service, comfortable rooms, and relaxing amenities. It’s a great spot for all travellers. We left feeling refreshed and can’t wait to return for another stay. Read less

The hotel has beautiful grounds. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Ja at the breakfast restaurant is super cheery. The room (Deluxe Partial Seaview) is gorgeous but the floor feels grimy and could do better with proper cleaning. Balcony still had cigarette butt's probably from a previous stay. Housekeeping could definitely improve.
