Beautiful resort with seaview”
We very much enjoyed our stay in the Arawan beach resort. The view from the pool over the ocean is fantastic. The gardens in front of the pavilions are really nice. Rooms (family room) were good though not spacious. Bathroom good but you need to appreciate the odd design of the bathtub (I did). Restaurant simple in design though food was good at a very reasonable rate. Though located at the seaside, no real beach access. For good beaches you need a transfer to Ao Nang or Railay beach (15-20 min). Service of the staff excellent. Pros: swimmingpool + view, garden setting. quiet atmosphere, service, reasonable priced food. Cons: location quite far from big beaches,

Helpful & Friendly Staff, Quiet Location”
I wouldn't call it a resort, it's a quiet little hotel about 20mins drive away from Ao Nang (main attraction of Krabi). Frequent shuttle bus service provided by hotel free of charge. Our stay was very pleasant. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They arranged a day trip to Phi Phi islands for us which was the highlight of our trip. The restaurant serves Thai food and a few international choices. Very nice and very decently priced. There is a small bar that serves nice cocktails too. Rooms and toilets were very clean, large and comfortable. Note 1: Don't be fooled by the name, there is no actual beach at this hotel, but shuttle bus is provided to Ao Nang. Hotel does have a nice pool. You can get food and drink served to you by the pool. Note 2: Don't pay extra for a "Superior Sea View Room". All the rooms seemed the same to me. Note 3: Last shuttle bus leaves from Ao Nang at 9:30pm. If you miss it you will have to catch a taxi for a few hundred Bhat. Note 4: Hotel offers airport transfer @ 500 Bhat per trip. Call ahead and arrange for convenience.

We had a great week here, and are already booked in for two more nights as we were so happy here”
We loved everything about Arawan, especially the staff, the food and the room. The staff were always friendly, helpful and spoke good English. The inclusive buffet breakfast was very good with lots of choice, and was regularly topped up with freshly prepared items. The restaurant served delicious food, and fair priced cocktails and beers, as well as soft drinks/juices and smoothies. The regular free shuttle service into Ao Nang was very useful and reliable. The pools were great for a proper swim, as well as just cooling off and relaxing. The rooms are massive, with all you want: comfy beds, decent showers, and great views off the balcony. We know we will be happy on our future stays.

Great resort - but far from the city”
found this little gem on the internet on one of the forums. i booked a pool villa room at heavlily discounted prices - so i was extremely pleased with what i got. it has a view out to the sea, mountains flanking it on one side, adequately sized rooms. the food is good and the staff was friendly. they also offer a free boat tour to 4 islands. unfortunately, a minimum of 4 people needed to organize the tour, and i was there in the off season and with a pretty much vacant resort - i wasnt offered this trip. the place is also close to heavily forested areas, so you may want to stock up on anti-mosquito lotions and coils. its a bit far away from the city and ao nang beach (10 mins drive) so its a good place to be if you want peace and quiet and be away from the hustle and bustle of the city. but the resort offers a free shuttle to the city every 3-4 hours.

Spacious and lively resort”
I had a nice time to stay hare, comfortable, fresh air, and naturally view around resort.They provide guest lovely service such as shuttle van to Ao Nang beach 3 times a day and They plan to provide long-tail boat exploring the island around Krabi daily (Free services). Especially resort have got a private beach that you can walk around and enjoy tasty breakfast beside.

A good place”
Arawan Hotel is a good place for a long stay. It is right in between Raliay and Ao Nang. The staff is friendly and almways try to do its best. Nevertheless, two things are to be improved : the breakfast (not too much choise, we would have liked more fruits for example) and the shuttle service (Nam Mao Pier is 2 kms far from the hotel, and if you take a taxi that will be charged 200 bahts ! It is so convenient to go to Railay -- maybe from the beach nearby the hotel -- that it is a pity there is not such a service).

Relaxing, comfortable introduction to Thailand. This was my 2nd visit to Arawan in a month. I travel”
PROS: set out of Ao Nang 15 min shuttle transfer provided free and several times a day. Very friendly, helpful reception staff with good check-in.all staff very friendly and want you to enjoy your stay. A good choice of swimming pools and all clean and well maintain. Breakfast for 100 Bart extremely good value- wide selection and well priced restaurant and beverages. This resort works very well for young families, good value for money and pool works very well with toddlers and small children.Arawan has a very relaxed atmosphere which also makes a holiday with little children easier. Set on a bay, not a swimming beach you enjoy a beautiful water view with lots of boat activity to watch. Short walks around the resort. CONS: It's DISTANCE from Ao Nang may deter some if you want bustling action on your door step. Some rooms are buit at ground level by a pool very close to reception.If you have mobility issues other rooms are in 3 story blocks with no lift. Let them know your needs.

Beautiful hotel, not so beautiful beach”
this place is a little far from everything but that's not a problem if you rent a motorbike. they also offer a free shuttle to the main area of ao nang; another bonus if you stay here is a free 4-islands trip! we ended up staying a private pool villa and really enjoyed our time. the room was cleaned every day, we loved our little pool, we had a nice living space with a daybed; overall, a very convenient room and setup. the staff was lovely, but not very on top of things. breakfast can take some time to arrive, but there is self-serve toast/cereal/coffee which you can enjoy while you wait for your eggs and pancake to be made. the patrons are quiet, either families or quiet couples. the beach is kind of non-existent, very gray with mangroves. but the pool more than makes up for it. the on-site restaurant is ok. i would stay here again.

Brilliant! ”
Our experience at the hotel was amazing. We arrived early to check in miss-reading check in details- they then upgraded us free of charge to check in early! Pool was lovely and room beautiful! Set out the way so quiet and private- Free shuttle service to ao nang very reliable. The food at the hotel was really good, made to order breakfast and other meals well priced and optional to eat in room. My partner was ill one day and the driver drove me to three different pharmacys free of charge to get some medicines ! Well worth the money and views top it off.

Large and Lonely”
The Arawan is a tucktuck ride to Ao Nang. Somewhat isolated and quietly on it's own. Large grounds. The hotel has regular shuttle. The beach is NOT FOR SWIMMING. However there are 2 Large beautiful pools. Modest restaurant. Breakfast is ordinary. Meals so so. Rooms are spacious and clean. Beds are great. A solid 3 Star and priced reasonably.Staff are helpful, courteous and professional.

Really quiet and comfortable”
A little bit far from the noise of Ao Nang, this resort is built in a green and natural context. We stayed there just one night cause the hotel was full but we really had a good time. The beach is not the best but they offer daily free trips to the four island in front of ao nang, so our review is completely positive.

Offside Hotel with good qualities”
This is definitely a place to stay if you wish to not live in the streets of Ao nang but yet still have the closeness to it. The staff is very service minded and will always make sure to help you. They have a younger employee that's actually very good at english and is very well oriented in Krabi as a whole so anything you wonder he can most likely help you. They have daily tours to Ao nang by car (3 - 4 times/day) so just sign a form and you won't have to worry about calling cabs or tuktuk's to get there. They also has a free boat trip that takes almost a whole day (0930 - ~1500) wich will take you around all the small 4 islands and inculdes stopping for snorkelling and stopping by the beaches to let you stay there for approx. 40-50 minutes each. One of the best places we stayed on our travel around Krabi! Definitely good value for your money!

Great hotel, beautiful location”
Room was a good size, very clean & we had pool access right outside which was perfect when travelling with a 3 year old! There were a choice of swimming pools & we tried all 3! I can't complain about the breakfast but I would have liked an omelette but that's just me otherwise it had a good selection to choose from. We ate at the restaurant twice & it was ok we had mainly European food which was pretty standard but the Thai dish I ate was delicious the menu choice was ok but not huge. I tried a couple of cocktails & they were good. Free shuttle service is great we didn't personally use it as hired a moped but if we hadn't I would have used the shuttle into town & the weekend night markets. Would definitely recommend this hotel to family & friends who want a lovely location away from the busyness of Ao Nang.

Peaceful, gorgeous spot.”
Away from the crowds and noise of Ao Namg (but close enough to pop in for the day or just for a meal) this hotel is a great option for families or people wanting a quiet escape. We stayed in the family room which included a loft style bed which my son (age 7) loved. There was plenty of room for my toddlers travel cot too. Not sure if the hotel have cots available. The breakfast wasn't fantastic.our first morning we arrived at breakfast and every table was a mess, nothing cleared away but no guests. It took them ages to clear it up too. Not a buffet and only a small selection but what they did have was pretty tasty. Pool area is great, and quiet. Hotel offers a daily boat trip for guests but they don't have times posted anywhere so we missed it. We asked at 9am and were told it had already left for the day. Annoying but we went in to Ao Nang and took a long tail out to Phra Nang Beach and had a great day.

The best place we've ever stayed in Thai.”
it was the best place we've stayed in thai in our's 4 trips. i'd highly recommend everybody to book there 2-3 nights to spend it in this beautifull and peacefull place. free boat trips every day, free shuttle to ao nang 4 times a day, very nice territory and really frendly stuff. the only problem may be with the road to the hotel - it's a bit dated for going to the hotel by motorbike especially in low season.

Very enjoyable! Will definitely recommend this!”
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to friends. Although it is a bit far from the main beach in Krabi, it wasn`t a problem for us as the hotel has a free shuttle that takes you into town 4 times daily and will pick you up as well. No problem and the grounds are so pretty!
