Ava Sea Krabi Resort

The room didn't have a microwave which I felt was odd and inconvenient. There was no way to reheat my leftovers. A microwave doesn't cost much and would go a long way as an added feature.

Definitely recommend this hotel, esply for Indians.
I want to write this detailed review esply for fellow Indians and Vegetarians for easy decision making.

Location - 5/5
Hotel is situated in prime location. Walkable distance to multiple Bike rentals, Indian restaurants, shopping places. It's ~1.5km away from beach but it's alright.

Food - 5/5
Has 4 Indian breakfast options daily . Fruits, salads , yogurt is additional. They made really good Baked potatoes, masala fried rice, raita for breakfast and trust me it's so yummy and filling. They have 4 fruit options and clear messaging on veg options.

Staff - Room service is very quick, which is very unusual as per our experience in other Thailand hotels.
Staff is very kind and polite. We left our luggage in their luggage room post checkout and came in to take a quick shower , they even let us use the fresh pool towels to freshen up.
The receptionist Jessy is very sweet.

Rooms - Very spacious. They upgraded us to Grand deluxe room. I see many many Indians staying here.

Tour Booking - The in house tour Booking lady gave best rates for Bikes, better than the ones outside. Even they helped book Airport transfers - rates remain similar everywhere for this.
Other tours like Hong Island and 5/7 Island tours etc can be booked directly from hotel too , I didn't see a huge price difference outside and in hotel. Hardly 50-100 Baht which is fine if you don't want the hassle to do research outside.

I definitely recommend everyone stay at Ava Sea Resort. Thoroughly enjoyed it for service, location and esply Indian food options

What more can i say? Almost everything is exceptional. The hotel staffs are super nice and friendly, breakfast is great for me with choices of asian and western foods
For me the only minor downside is that they only give you 1 room key, and the room facing the road can get a bit noisy at times

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Ao Nang and truly appreciated their warm hospitality. From the moment I arrived, the check-in process was smooth and effortless, and I was pleasantly surprised that they didn’t even ask for a security deposit. The reception staff, especially the ladies, were incredibly polite and welcoming, which made a great first impression.

The hotel is in an excellent location, right by the roadside, making it very easy to access transportation. They also have basement parking, which is quite convenient. One of the things I really liked about this property is that it has its own café and restaurant, so grabbing a meal was never an issue. Plus, there are plenty of other options nearby, including a 7-Eleven, a pharmacy, and various eateries, all just a short walk away.

The rooms were comfortable, and I appreciated the small yet thoughtful details, such as the jet spray in the bathroom, which is especially useful for Indian travelers. The food from their kitchen was absolutely delicious. The chef clearly understands flavors well, and I regret not trying their breakfast on the first day. The lobby was another highlight for me—it had a cozy reading corner, and the pool area was well-maintained with a separate shower and toilet. There’s also a mini bar counter next to the pool, making it a great spot to relax.

While my experience was fantastic overall, there were just a few minor things that could be improved. The room was supposed to have an iron and ironing board as part of the amenities, but they weren’t available. The towels provided on the first day, though visibly fresh, had a slight medicinal or balm-like scent, but when I requested a replacement, the staff quickly provided new ones. The toiletries didn’t include a toothbrush and toothpaste, which would have been a nice addition. The gym was quite limited in terms of equipment, with only a few dumbbells, the heaviest being 7kg. The only slight inconvenience I faced was during the late evening when I had difficulty communicating with one of the male receptionists. I had a simple question about whether I could use my regular shoes in the gym or go barefoot, but he couldn’t understand me, and there was no one else available to assist. Eventually, I just decided to go barefoot.

Despite these small issues, my overall experience was fantastic, and I really loved their hospitality. The warmth of the staff, the delicious food, and the convenient location made my stay enjoyable. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ao Nang.

This hotel is definitely not 4⭐️ standard, the rooms are very small and basic, the bathroom had a damp smell and the general cleanliness of the hotel was poor. Customer service was non existent.

Very noisy day and night with loud music and noise from the road.

The only positive I can offer is a great location for the younger party goers,

Zero hospitality and service. No bell boy was present during checkout, there were issues with checkin as well. staff was rude and did not try to help.
There was a lady at reception she was not considerate of our situation and was just repeating 2 pm (even when other guest were checking in early seamlessly.)

Had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Clean, wonderful staff and in a great area. Would definitely stay here again!

Avoid at all cost, horrible experience.
Our stay started with a very badly stained and dirty matress and it took us hours of explaining and pictures to get it replaced.

Pictures of the hotell is very misleading as thinhs are both very old and dirty, pool area is tiny.

Staff speaks absolutely no english and in general not very friendly so i suspect bad working conditions.

Elevator was absolutely as slow as can be and often people presses the button but walked instead making it Even slower stopping on every floor.

Dont be fooled, this is 2 star hotell not 4, and its robbery to stay here Even for Thailand and our group is well versed in travelling at different conditions.

And dont book trips from the tourist rep in the lobby, big markup from other in the area. But speaks ok English.

Only good thing here is the koi pond at the entrence..

Do not recommend. (!)

Toilets/showers:
Very dated, shower area leaks into the rest of the bathroom. And a often a strong smell of sewer from drains, so bad it woke us up. Tried speaking to Staff about this but just nods and gibberish, Even trying with google translate app.

Pool area:
Is TINY and very cold water, we had multiple rooms in our group including the most expensive rooms were u can walk into the pool but the area had no sun and was overgrown with bushes from property next door which is a sewage drain area.
Also, the way the hotell pool area is designede it works as a wind tunnel and it has no wind brakes as other hotells in the area.

Food/drinks: Cocktails was ok, but had to point to map and very little creativity. We opted out of breakfast and its very expensive and mostly thai dishes served for breakfast at 450 bath per person per day so extremely expensive but i cant speak for quality there.

I would say the staff are lead by management, who obviously do not trust their guests one bit. Had to pay an extra 400 baht as a deposit for a second room key. Room wasn’t ready on arrival for many people, no where to store luggage as it sits beside reception. Pool has 20 pvc sun loungers, in 33 degree heat! Come on, really. Shower cold, water out tap cold, smells like a sewer in the morning. Bed rock hard…. Not impressed one bit, we left 2 days early to return to Bangkok!!! Would recommend sea seeker or blueshotel next door! Pool towel oh you actually need two so you don’t burn your ass!

My stay at the Ava Sea Resort was great. I had a room on the 5th floor. The view was unbelievable. The staff were pleasant to deal with. Excursions were easy to book. It was close to the beach and all the amenities were close by. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location to be close to the beach and all nightlife that ao nang has

Hotel reception charged 500 Baht's for white pillow covers ,which became dirty after using for two days(either wash yourself or pay 250 per pillow cover)which I paid because i was checking out so frustrating. On the other member they narrated loss of spoons from room and asked to pay 200 baht's for two small spoons .when checked spoons were in room and they agreed

We had a great time at this centrally situated hotel. Our room was large and clean and the balcony had a view over the main road which we liked as there was plenty going on. I liked the small on-site gym and the pool.looked quite nice although I didn't use it. My one complaint was that each morning at breakfast the staff would watch people putting food into their bags (a lot of people did this) yet when I wanted to take my juice outside I was questioned as to what I thought I was doing! The breakfast was good with plenty of choice and the coffee was nice too.
I would return

Good stay. Very good location . Friendly staff. Only negative point was water temperature in shower too cold

WORST HOTEL I HAVE EVER STAYED IN MY LIFE DO NOT STAY HERE!!!
You will be much better getting a hostel for half the price that would be better then this hotel
BED WAS ROCK HARD
ROOM HAD FUNNY SMELL
SHOWER WAS ICE COLD PERMANENTLY
TRIED TO BILL US 2900baht FOR A TINY STAIN ON A CHEAP BED SHEET DO NOT STAY HERE
WHEN TOWELS CHANGED BAD SMELL FROM THEM

This hotel is just money mad. First of all they tried charging me 2,900 baht which is around £69 for a tiny bit of cake icing on the bed sheet which had melted because the room was so hot. They hadn’t even tried to actually wash the bed sheet but instead splashed a dribble of water on the icing mark in question and said it wouldn’t come out. Second of all after the WORST stay ever due to the beds being rock hard it felt like sleeping on wooden plank and the shower was stone cold the whole entire time we stayed there. We asked if there was any rooms we could pay to upgrade to and one member of staff stated they would try the next morning as other rooms had comfier beds. We follow that up the next day and we were laughed at by the staff in reception stating “all the beds were the same” the room had a disgusting mouldy and damp smell coming from the bathroom and overall the service was just hideous. By far the worst “4 star” hotel I have ever stayed in. I have stayed in budget hotels nowhere near as expensive as this and it has been a much better stay. No care for the customers who are paying their wages. AVIOID!

Hotel is on a busy street so extremely loud. The shower was freezing cold and the water pressure was terrible. Towels are extremely rough and old. Amenities in bathroom are majorly lacking too. Extremely out dated hotel. Would avoid if you are wanting a good nights sleep.

Lovely location for wherever you needed but no sleep due to noisy streets and facilities was not good swimming pool tiny and freezing but staff lovely

The hotel is very nice location and it's only take 5 min walking to Ao Nang beach, the first day when we check in the room had no hot water to shower, but it got fix very quickly, also the room that we stay has a lot of mosquitos, my friend got a lot of bits on his legs

Ava sea was in a great location. Ac worked well, water pressure could be better but overall we had a great time. Very convenient to everything and staff was all nice
