Holiday Style Ao Nang Beach Resort, Krabi

I'm a solo traveller and decided to splurge on an expensive hotel. $90 a night, yet no breakfast included. I chose it because of location & reviews. Don't spend more for pool view. Too noisy, and people can see into your room. Choose garden view. The hotel was good. Definitely feels like a 3 star hotel with its look and facilities. The pool is lovely, but closing at 8 pm is ridiculous. The disappointment is the pool is very popular, yet there are only 20 lounges around the pool for over 200 guests. There's a bar for drinks. The location was good for access to the popular night markets, beach, and shopping. The tour desk charged more $ for tours and airport transfers. So book on streets. Overall good, but next time l'd stay at a cheaper place as its only a bed at the end of the day.

We extended our stay by a few more nights (hence the two reviews being the same) Room was spacious, balcony over the pool was gorgeous, had a little clothes rack in the balcony that came in handy, air condition was great. Breakfast was plentiful and a good value, lots of food options, fresh egg and omelette station. Location was ideal for us, it is the quieter part of Ao Nang with a 15min walk to the bars and stores. Boats to the islands left right in front of the hotel. There is a coin laundry inside the hotel with quite large washing machines. It was cheaper using those than laundry service close to the hotel due to weight. There is a little gem of a restaurant with picnic tables right outside the hotel called May&Zin, it was delicious and owner was a joy to talk to. Perfect for those days when it drizzles. Pool was beautiful.

The location, price and amenities are good and room comes with ceiling fan which is a plus for us. Halal food is right front of the hotel and super good and value for money and other cafes are walking dustance. Aonang landmark night market is 5 minutes walking distance. We love our stay here and would come back again.

It was a good hotel, just that we do not know how's the food like. Being a Muslim we are not sure if food provided by hotel is halal or non-halal, so we opt to eat outside all the time. End up we having problem in getting breakfast every morning as most of the shops did not open until late morning Perhaps hotel can consider to prepare some halal food for Muslim customers especially for breakfast and state in the brochures/advertisement or at least mentioned if halal food is easily accessible (later we find out from food seller that along 3km of street food eateries/stalls, there are only 3 Muslim eateries, so we have limited choices for foods

Location, surroundings, good garden view, nearby eateries, spas, shops and night market.
