Aree Tara Resort

Little Gem of a hotel . Central location to shops,bars, restaurants and the beach.
This lovely hotel has the most comfortable bed.Spotlessly clean and such helpful friendly staff.
Our room was a garden facing very quiet big bathroom balcony with table and chairs. Very very comfortable.
The pool was clean not massive but just the job to cool off .
The beach as you go out to the right is quiet Long tails leave from there to various islands we took one to Railay Beach really easy to obtain your ticket and no problem at all.
The sports bar and restaurant was really good food .
The boxing was fun to lots of food stalls and shops.
Go out and turn left to the beach you get along road with every thing you would want but at the end of the road are beach bars and comfy sun beds .
Food wise we wanted authentic Thai food cooked by Thai’s we did manage to find that if you look .

Friendly staff, clean property, and the location is very convenient

We really enjoyed our 10 nights in Aree Tara. The staff are super, the breakfast is good and the location is excellent. The rooms are also a very decent size. The negatives were the small pool area (pool was good but not many sunbeds), and several areas around the pool that are trip/slip hazards. Also showers always leaked out onto the floor.

Great hotel to stay, but make sure you book the rooms in the 1st or 2nd floor because the WiFi is not so good in 3rd, 4th, 5th and so on, apartment from that room service is great, friendly staff, helping staff etc. Airport transportation was very comfortable.

Very comfortable and good hotel. Helpful staff. Very tasty breakfast. Nice swimming pool and cosy area around it. Enough choices of cocktails and beer in pool bar. Hotel is very good located in the street with perfect Thai food possibilities. Also massage and beauty salons. Tuk tuk placed also near by. Just couple minutes with tuk tuk to the beautiful Ao Nang beach. With sun beds and drinks. Also some minutes with car to harbour to go to Phi Phi island with best travel company Sea Eagle.

Me and my daughter stayed there for two weeks in january 2025. Realy nice and helpful people all over the hotel. Nice, clean room with space and a bathroom with both shower and a bath tub. Beds were nice, and also nice with a balcony. Air condition was lovely, and easy to regulate. All very good, also the breakfast. And the colors all over makes it very delicate.

We had a nice stay here. It was very short. But there was a travel person at the desk you could book excursions with which we did. As it was super easy we missed breakfast and they gave us a bag each to take with us so we didn’t miss out. Good location, everything near. Pool is very closed off so not much sun hits it. Pleasant staff.

Pool was unsafe and full of algae, wifi didn’t work and room smelt of mold

We had a pleasant stay in Aree Tara resort. The receptionists were very kind and always smiling. Rooms were cleaned every day and housekeeping were just as the people from the reception always very kind. We didn’t ate there for breakfasts but we did order dinner once and that food was excellent and the presentation was nice. Worth staying

Resort maybe a bit of stretch, a hotel is more like it. Just away from the hustle and bustle of Ao Nang, made it the place to get the best of both worlds.

The hotel is surrounded by numerous travel agents in which you can get any of the numerous boat tours and scooter hire. Which makes getting around and activities easy to do.

A nice pool, even though shaded most of the day, and a good selection for breakfast. The only downside I would say is that it is getting to that point where a few things need a refresh and updating. On the whole though I would definitely stay here again.

Our room is well-maintained and I find their pool area relaxing too. Their breakfast buffet is super nice with lots of food to choose from. Its location is good and that's one of the reasons why we chose this hotel. We had a wonderful vacation, thank you!

Amazing pool. Very nice food and cocktails. Helpful staff. Great location - around 10 min walk to the centre of the resort and a stones-throw from the night market (which is a nice trip). Rooms very nice and the bathrooms in the rooms are very modern and stylish. My only complaint is that there are areas in the room which need resotration such as bashes to furniture and scuff marks on the walls. The room we stayed in was overall great but needs furniture repairs and a lick of paint.

Stayed for a week. Had a pool view room which was very nice. Comfortable stay. They have a decent selection for breakfast with an egg station for your preferred order. Only improvement would be improved bedside lighting so you can read at night and a tune up to the coffee/ cappuccino machine.

The breakfast was excellent with lots of selection. Lots of loungers by the pool. It would be nice to have a couple tables and chairs by the pool if you just want to sit and have a drink with friends or play a game of cards.

This was our 2nd stay here and we were not impressed. Location is good but that's about all.
The bed is placed on a base that makes normal access and getting out impossible as there is a big wooden shelf that it sits on. Also, if your not careful, it sticks out so far you will slam into it in the dark and cut your shan open. Like I did, mentioned to reception and they just laughed... the shower sprays all over the floor as curtain is 10 CM too short so it's like a wet room. We had an elastic band in the bathroom that stayed all 6 days- they couldn't be bothered to pick it up. We left it there out of curiosity. Obviously the bathroom door was never closed whilst cleaning as behind it was absolute filth. The pool is in the shade all day and very small. Pool water was filthy and we didn't risk going in.
Drains outside hotel absolutely stank - common problem in this beautiful country but very off putting if you use hotel bar. Bed was extremely hard. WIFI..... absolutely appalling, no signal in room and balcony, vary poor signal in reception again, staff just shrugged shoulders.
Plenty of other choices, won't be going back. Just about average and disappointing

Upon booking this hotel I was pretty impressed with their pictures of the rooms and pool (I should have known better) as once we arrived it was very apparent they’d taken photos of specific rooms which they’ve recently renovated or used for the photo shoot. The hotel itself was very dated, the rooms looked like they hadn’t been refurbished since the hotel opened and the pool area was very small compared to their photos. That said the location was central to all parts of Ao Nang and if you’re happy with a little bit of dated rooms then this would be a good place to book.

Location, short walking distance to beach, night market and resturants. Longtail boat rentals close by as well as tours.

We stayed at Aree Tara Resort as a family, so we occupied a total of 6 rooms. Check-in was smooth, and most of our party got what I would say the 'jungle view', which overlooks an empty plot of land behind the hotel. It's a very beautiful view, and pleasantly peaceful. The other rooms we got were courtyard facing, which were not as glamorous - my room in particular had a window which can be seen from a corridor, so we kept the curtains closed for privacy.

Rooms are clean and comfortable, and the bathroom comes with a very strong vent which allowed for quick drying. There is both a shower and a bathtub, but the shower curtain is not very effective, making for a very wet bathroom after use.

The location is great, with lots of places to eat nearby, many convenience stores, and a quick walk to the Ao Nang Night Market. The beach and shopping street is just a ten minute walk away.

The hotel comes with a nice pool which is overlooked by the courtyard facing rooms - rooms on the ground floor have direct access to the swimming pool.

The only thing we did not enjoy about our stay was the very strong sewage smell coming from the drain outside the hotel. This is of course outside of the hotel management's control, but it was not comfortable to sit in the open space lobby area since the smell is so strong. Other than that, we had a nice enough stay.

Stayed there for 3 days 2 nights, it was a great stay. The receptionist was helpful and informative.

The room was clean and enough to fit two persons.

The hotel has cute swimming pool enough to accommodate all guests. The pool bar was alright, just that they only accept cash which is a bit annoying.

Hotel pool under renovation , didn’t inform early
Breakfast area also close,
