Ban Sainai Resort- SHA Extra Plus Aonang's Green Resort

We had such an amazing stay here! We had a cottage room by the pond and the staff had kindly accommodated our request for a cliffside view. Despite a bit of construction going on (which we were pre-warned about) it was still such a peaceful oasis, just a short tuktuk away from busy Ao Nang. The staff were amazing - always available to help, drive us in buggies to reception when it rained and ready and waiting to help coordinate pickup for the tours we'd arranged. Breakfast was also delicious (I could have lived on those pineapple pancakes!) with plenty of choice. We also ordered room service several times because it was the tastiest home cooked food that was even better than where we tried in town! Safe to say we were sad to leave but eager to book here again! Thank you to all the Ban Sainai staff who made our stay so special

Location and property were perfect for us! Ao Nang is quite busy and this was away from the noise and loads of people. The beds were so comfortable, the amenities supported our stay (slippers, pool bag, sarongs), and the pool and grounds were amazing! The staff were all helpful and friendly. It was a wonderful stay for us.

The staff is friendly and they helped us get a last-minute private tour only hours before, while every other tour company was sold out. The rooms are amazing and comfortable.

Incredible hotel, beautiful spacious room, nicely decorated, well taken care of with a lovely bathtub and a shower. The resort is covered in green, there is also a pond with fish and a pool with a view. There is a shuttle every couple of hours to Ao Nang which we used a lot but even if we missed it some times the taxis are very cheap given the short distance Staff is helpful and welcoming

Pre stay messaging and arrival arrangements including an airport transfer were efficient. The hotel promotes many boat tours. Staff are all welcoming and helpful. The welcome drink and instructions to make the tea again at breakfast were appreciated. Thank you also to the chef for my surprise birthday cake! The garden cottages were very comfortable, well maintained with expansive bathrooms. We used the mosquito net because there were mosquitoes in the room on arrival. The cleaners sprayed the room daily after that on our request. The towel origami was appreciated. The resort is peaceful and relaxing with signs requesting quiet voices and no music at the pool. There are sufficient sun beds. If you book this hotel respect the rules; some guests didn’t. We were pleased that smoking areas were separate and not poolside. The poolside bar serves fresh coconuts and great smoothies with various lunch options. The breakfast is served on decking by the lake watching the carp and resident water monitor surfacing occasionally. The hand washing station on arrival sets appropriate expectations for guests. There is a continental buffet, Thai and European selections. In addition there is an a la carte menu to choose eggs, French toast, pancakes etc. Breakfast was calm and unhurried. There are sufficient staff serving and two coffee machines so no lengthy queuing. The grounds are manicured and lush. The gardeners work hard. The hotel could market this asset more by labelling names and uses of plants on their site. There are plentiful supplies of water in the room; a BYO alcohol policy on site. Again guests are respectful and discrete. This is not a party zone; it’s a hotel for those who want to relax in a low rise garden setting amidst the karsts. The pool facing view is impressive. The shuttle to Ao Nang beach is useful. We preferred local Thai food within a 15 minutes walk of the resort. ( 11/1, Jungle, Mamas Kitchen).
