Very new and clean hotel”

Decided to write a detailed review for those who are considering to stay in AVA Sea Resort. As this is a pretty new hotel, there are very few reviews so I hope this review will help. The + indicates a good point while the - indicates a bad point. Room: + Wifi was fast enough to load all the dramas I wanted to watch + Clean and spacious (about 50sqm) + Bedsheets looked very new + Toilet was clean (very important to me) + There was a spacious sofa to sit on (which I highly appreciate especially after you come back dirty from the beach and need somewhere to sit, but not the bed) + There was a huge balcony outside the room which is good for friends and family to hang out, but the balcony is connected to the balconies of other rooms so you have to be careful about leaving things in the balcony + Daily room service + Complimentary bottled water, tea & coffee + Safe to keep your valuables - Shower in the toilet doesnt have a door to prevent water from wetting the floor while showering, but it's not a big deal - Water that ran from the tap didnt seem safe to drink; It looked clean but after boiling the water, it was totally cloudy (I suppose it's the calcium deposits and other mineral deposits in the water). It wasn't the kettle though. So we couldn't really make our own coffee and tea Location: + Great location, about 5-10 minutes walk to Ao Nang Beach + Lots of massage places located neary + 7-11 conveniently located beside the hotel Amenities: +/- Pool was not really very big, but still acceptable for me. Some would definitely find it too small though +/- Apparently there's a gym but I didn't try it so I cant really comment on it + Pool towels provided, and you can bring them with you when you go to the beach and whatnot Service: + Pretty good, they acceded to most of our requests and were polite; they helped us to make calls when we needed to reserve slots at restaurants or massage places etc. - I guess because I went during low season, plus the hotel is very new,

New Hotel in Ao Nang”

Visiting Ao Nang for about my fourth time now, we stayed in the fairly new Ava Sea resort. This was also over New Year so choices were a bit limited, and the prices we paid were probably higher than normal (but still good value in my opinion). Upon check-in we were informed that we had been upgraded - I'm not sure what the original room was like but the room we ended up in was on the ground floor of the rear building and included direct access to the lap pool from a private balcony, so we were happy with that! The room was very big with a comfortable bed and a good sized bathroom. The hotel is on the main road into Ao Nang from Krabi, about 500 metres back from the beach. There are hotels closer to the beach but the price seems to go up the closer you get. For a 5 minute walk to the beach it is a good compromise. Having also stayed at Railay Beach before I prefer Ao Nang as there are more options of restaurants and bars at night - and can still visit Railay for a day trip.

excellent small hotel”

We have been to Ao Nang many times and usually stay at the Princeville but this time we were looking for a more economical hotel and the beds at the Princeville are two hard for my liking. Found Ava Sea Resort which looked like a reasonable location and price. We were not disappointed at all. The Ava Sea was perfect for us. Location fantastic only a leisurely stroll of 8 to 10 mins from beach front and right in the middle of restaurants and shops. The rooms and balcony's were large. The huge king size bed was comfortable therefore could get a good night sleep every night. We stayed for 10 nights so room size and comfort very important. The bathroom vanity was two small and more coat hangers would have been appreciated. Aircon and wi fi worked very well. Hot water did take quite a while to reach the shower. Breakfast was fresh and adequate for us. Swimming pool was very nice a little cold to get in but once in it was perfect. Resort not to big so no overcrowding around the pool

Hotel location is ideal”

We stayed at AVA sea resort for 3 nights and during this 4D3N have been a pleasant one. The hotel is located along the main road and out from the hotel when you turn left, it will lead you to the sea side in about 6-10 min walk. We can take a walk or jog along the shore as it is quite a distant down~ along the shore there are restaurants and shops for tourists to visit. Everywhere you will see travel booth which you can book your tour... this is so convenient. One of the day we walked about 20 min to the mini night market. The market is quite small but it is Super clean!! You feel safe to eat there. There is a bus stop outside the hotel which takes you to Krabi town this is so so convenient and it cost only 60 baht (1 hr) and if you want to visit Big C or Tesco it cost you 100 baht. Very satisfied with our stay at AVA thank you!!

Everything is fine. ”

If you are Muslim, please bear in mind that the food isn't halal. It's just NO PORK NO LARD. There aren't vegetarian options as well( ONLY FRUITS AND SALADS). Other than that everything else is perfect. Most of the staffs are friendly and helpful, quite accommodative too. Toothbrush and toothpaste isn't provided. Bedroom slippers are available upon request. On the side note-: If you wish to go to Krabi Town, take the bus from the BUS STOP which is just in front of the hotel as it is convenient and cheaper. Recommendations:- *Don't forget to check out the beautiful mosque down the street as it gets lit at night. *Head down to 89.8 cafe for the best breakfast , brunch and dinner or for the best steak ever at Jenna's. Opposite Ava Sea along subway/MacDonald's. (Non Halal, has Vegetarian options) *For the best cocktails in Krabi head down to the street bar just before the Beach in front of the BUS STOP don't forget to try their passionfruit mojito for only 99Baht. Would definitely stay here again as their location is smack in the center.

Nice hotel”

The hotel was nice, clean and convenient too. Just a short distance walk to the Ao Nang beach. Many F&Bs and convenient shops located along the street. The hotel staff are warm& friendly. The room is spacious and clean. Breakfast was good & delicious (it has different dishes almost everyday for us to choose from, except the western breakfast). My little family enjoyed our stay there, and definitely will stay in Ava Sea if we have the chance to visit Krabi again. Thank you, Ava Sea for a memorable trip.

Great location, comfortable and spacious ”

It’s located near the Aonang beach (about 6 mins walk) and in the middle of the bustling street. Food, shopping, massage, bar and tour booths are just outside the hotel along the whole stretch of path. The room is very clean and spacious. Hotel staff are very helpful as well. Although their English aren’t the best but they are very patient and willing to help. My room’s shower had some problem but they helped to get it fixed within a day when I was out for activities. I stayed in a deluxe room, the bathtub and shower are built in together so when you shower, water might splash everywhere as they don’t have a curtain for the bathtub. Swimming pool looks a lot smaller compared to the pictures but if you aren’t planning to use it, like me, it doesn’t matter. Overall a wonderful stay with Ava sea resort. Will definitely come back again.

First time on this hotel”

Was in Ava Sea for my honeymoon..have a great 5 days there 30/7 - 3/8.. Pros: I booked the 45sqm room, very spacious n very cold aircon,for muslim there a kiblat arrow been place,bed was big n the pillow was soft,so shiok when lying down,fell asleep within seconds. Toilet is big n clean. Breakfast serve in buffet style,food was ok n nice(halal). The swimming pool is cold,i loved it mayb not for others. Outside hotel got lots of place u can walk n many eateries n also have 7 -11 available,u can also book ur water activities just outside the hotel. Cons : Wifi got bit issue In the room,guess the range not strong when u are in the bed. Overall Im happy with the hotel i stayed,location is good,minute i checked in n out all was fine. Im particular with room space so 45sqm is just nice for couple..so ya this hotel i recommend to those who read the comment section. I choose this hotel coz i stayed at aonang cliff resort b4(really dun like the walking distance to entrance).

Lovely clean hotel”

We stayed 6 nights in that hotel. It is well located in Ao Nang mid range between the beach and the mosque. Rooms and bed are large. We changed our room (from 2410 to 4306) after first night because the road is very noisy. Any way the 2nd room in the rear building was just perfect. The breakfast is huge and tasty. They have a deterrent price for the laundry but you can go to the Ao Nang Village Resort (20m down to the beach). The hotel can book you a join van to the airport for 150THB/pax. The personnel is very friendly. If you book by Agoda they may want you to pay at the hotel even if it was not mentioned on either the voucher nor the site. Anyway I bet it's an issue with Agoda and Booking. To the manager: please upgrade your WIFI. The connection is awful. You are disconnected all the time and the bandwidth is damn slow (0.3Mbps vs 35 Mbps in 4G). Come on it's almost 2018 and all facilities around got better connectivity. If you do so you'd got a 5-star rate.

Excellent location”

Ava Sea Resort's location is ideal for everything in Ao Nang restaurants, bars and the beach are only a short walk away . The hotel it self is clean, modern and the rooms are spacious and well equipt. The staff are very friendly and willing to help and speak good English. We were very pleased with are stay here and recommend to all.

Great value for money”

Ava sea resort is a very new and modern styled hotel. My boyfriend and I stayed here for 4 nights during our time in Thailand. The pool is nice, could be a little bigger for the amount of people in the hotel. The wi-fi was very slow and cut in and out all of the time. The only downfall to this hotel was the noise from the street. Our room was located on the 5th floor on the street side, we both wore ear plugs each night because of the noise. Overall, I would recommend this hotel if you are after something relatively close to the beach and restaurants!

A very nice hospitality!”

I love everything about my Krabi trip especially the hotel staffs of Ava Sea. I would like to specially thank Donut for being so generous and attentive during our stay. Everything was perfect with Ava Sea except for one thing. I stayed at Room 2303 for 3 nights, i think the water heater in the bathroom is not working well. I hope Ava Sea can improve on that. After all, everything was really nice! Thanksss

Pleasant Stay”

We stayed for 3 nights at Ava Sea Resort. The thing that disappoint me was the fact that every time we took a shower, the whole bathroom floor will be wet and hotel did not provide hotel slippers because the floor was really cold even though A/C was at 24°. Hotel was near Ao Nang Beach and there is a Songthaew's bustop few steps off the hotel. The huge bed was super comfortable! Overall stay was pleasant and did not had any other issues.

Value for $$$$$”

Strategically located on the busy road that leads to Ao Nang beach. It's not too far to walk to the beach, anyway you don't necessary have to walk to the beach everytime. You can find anything within the hotel, 7 eleven, restaurants, travel agent, family mart, massage, live band, money changer. All within 50m from hotel. Go up to 6th floor you can have a clear Sea view. I got my room facing partial sea view and partial mountain view. Room is pretty clean, tv channel includes CCTV 4, Benin Sports, BBC news and several Thai channels. Who cares, go out and enjoy. Don't get stuck to the room. Breakfast, good spread of mixed Asian and Western spread. I don't look for a heavy buffet for my breakfast and i could end up throwing up everything during my island hopping trips. Well acceptable breakfast. In case if you are looking for any local tour, walk out from the hotel and turn left. You will get good bargain from that stall. Don't necessary to get the tour from the hotel.

Great hotel im great location ”

Ava sea We stayed here for 6 nights and really enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect! The hotel is located along a strip of bars and restaurants and 5 mins from the beach. The hotel staff were all friendly and very helpful. We were checked into our room straight away even though we arrived an hour earlier than check in. The room was large and we had a large balcony. The room facilities were great,tea,coffee, fridge, safe, hairdryer etc. Towels are available for the pool which you are also allowed to take to the beach. The breakfast was great and had lots of variety, including local thai dishes, cereal,fruit,pastries and they have an egg station too where you can order omelettes, scrambled eggs, fried eggs and boiled eggs. The pool area was lovely and all kept clean. The location is great! There are lots of variety of restaurants within walking distance and would highly recommend visiting the Irish embassy over the road for pie and mash if you are missing comfort food from back

I absolutely loved this hotel”

The staff were very friendly. They went waaay beyond to ensure we were comfortable, safe and happy. I liked the location as it was a comfortable location, not too close to the action for an older couple, yet still close enough to the beach and amenities. We had a small issue with a car booking and the hotel staff made it their personal objective to help rectify it. WOW. Talk about service. Thanks AVA SEA for making out Krabi visit an unforgettable delight.

Nice and best location , friendly stuff ”

Very nice hotel with the nice view of swimming pool access in the room, we spend our days in krabi for 4days 3night . The room is clean and also friendly stuff . The main point of the resort is the location , is nearby to Ao Nang beach , and a lot of shop to walk around Ava Sea resort . Overall really nice resort !

First trip to Krabi”

I was nervous on my first trip to Krabi as me and my partner has zero knowledge about Krabi. My friends did suggest to me to stay somewhere around this area. Found this hotel with a great view of the cliff and the sea overseeing the islands. It was worth it for 3 nights. Room is huge and spacious. There is a separate bathtub and shower. You might want to bring your own toothbrush as i couldn't find one in my room. Toilet has a see through glass so you can watch tv while soaking in the tub. Balcony is clean and equipped with chair and table. Location is good as there is a 7-11 below and across the street, mcdonalds, subway, ice cream rolls shop, massage parlour, bar and nearby shopping places. Breakfast little variety but good and simple. I loved it! Staffs are very warm and friendly. Please take note. Just beware when shopping at Walking Street. Never purchase or enquires prices from this shop run by bangladeshis. The shop sells sunglasses and caps. My partner enquired on the caps. When my partner decided not to buy, we were cornered by 3 banglas pushing us to give a price despite us saying no. Despite that nasty experience, i had fun. I would say Krabi is quite safe for female solo travellers.

Pleasantly accessible”

Ava Sea is easily spotted from Aonang Muslim Street. Just a short walk down to Aonang Beach from Ava Sea for some beach time, sunset watching and some souvenier shopping. There are a few activities that you can choose from Ava Sea for your own convenience. They will pick you up and drop you off at Ava Sea. How convenient!

Clean and great stay!”

This is our 2nd time staying in Ava Sea. The room is clean and very comfortable. On our 2nd time here, there was a miscomm of arranging our connecting room as we have small kids. However, hotel management hv done their best to accomodate our stay and we really appreciate it. Of course, this hotel will definitely our 1st choice when we have our next trip to Krabi.
