About Ao Nang Princeville
Ao Nang Princeville is an upscale resort in the heart of Ao Nang, offering easy access to beaches, restaurants, and boat docks. Featuring a lagoon-style pool, a full-service spa, a halal restaurant, and a café, the resort is a particularly attractive option for Muslim travelers. Accommodations range from standard rooms to villas with private pools. Some of the villas are situated at the resort's highest point, offering breathtaking views and enhanced privacy.
Guests generally find the rooms comfortable and well-maintained, and the resort's central location is frequently cited as a plus. Families with children are welcome; connecting rooms are available upon request. The complimentary breakfast included in some bookings received mixed reviews. Some guests complained about the limited selection, so those with specific dietary requirements should consider nearby dining options.
Guests booking through third-party platforms like Agoda should be aware that a refundable cash deposit is typically required upon check-in. Due to the resort's popularity and limited villa availability, early booking is recommended, especially for families or groups seeking upscale accommodations. The resort is open 24/7, so late arrivals are easily accommodated.

Great location and very well-maintained grounds. Check-in was seamless. We requested a connecting room and received an upgrade to a room with a twin and a queen-size bed. The security deposit was 2000 THB, and breakfast for the children was included. Everything was fantastic, no problems at all. The free bicycles were a great bonus. The food in the restaurant and café was delicious and definitely worth trying. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and offered a good selection. The pool and hot tub are cleaned of leaves daily and are perfect for a swim. The staff deserves special mention: all friendly, courteous, and helpful. We also received complimentary Christmas gifts outside our room, and every Wednesday and Saturday there is free coffee, drinks, and cake for afternoon tea. Highly recommended! The views, both day and night, were breathtaking. The location is ideal, close to 7E and many restaurants. Island hopping tours are possible by water taxi if you don't want to swim at the busy Ao Nang Beach. We look forward to our next visit to Ao Nang Princeville! ❤️
I just got back from the resort. I was there for five days. The location is superb, the hotel is beautiful, and the rooms are very comfortable. The amenities were good. There was a free breakfast, but the selection was very limited – almost the same thing every day. The reception staff desperately needs training in courtesy. I noticed that everyone was rude and not very solution-oriented in addressing the needs and expectations of the guests. They weren't helpful and almost always had a negative attitude. Instead of being rude, they should learn to take better care of the guests and resolve their problems. That was the biggest criticism of my stay. Good facilities and a well-maintained hotel are useless if the reception staff doesn't know how to represent the hotel's brand.
Last week, our family stayed at the Aonang Princeville and were unfortunately disappointed by our expectations of a 5-star hotel. We had booked a room for three adults and one child, but upon arrival, there was only a king-size bed, a single bed, and a sofa bed, which we assumed was for the child. However, there were no pillows or blankets. When we asked for pillows and blankets for our child, we were quoted an extra charge of 1,000 THB per night. After we objected, the price suddenly dropped to 300 THB per night. We had no choice but to agree, as our child obviously needed a blanket to sleep in. The whole situation was very frustrating, and frankly, we got the impression that they knew we had no other option. For a 5-star hotel, this behavior seemed unnecessarily cheap and unprofessional. The cleanliness also left much to be desired. I would honestly only give the hotel 2 out of 5 stars. The towels were extremely worn – some even had holes and tears. The water pressure in the bathroom was very low, making showering difficult, and I even found a cockroach in it. When we asked for an extra towel, as there were only three, the staff hesitated and gave us just one. There were no toiletries, toothbrushes, or other basic hygiene items at the sink, which one would normally expect in a 5-star hotel. For the price, the service and quality simply didn't match. On the positive side, the location was excellent – very central, close to the nightlife, and Krabi is a beautiful place overall. However, the experience wasn't worth the price, and I'm convinced there are many other hotels in the area that offer better service without charging extra for every little thing.

Tips for visiting hotels and resorts
Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.
After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.
A pool villa doesn't have to be expensive.
Villas with private pools in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai are available from around 2,500–4,000 THB per night – a fraction of the prices in Bali or the Maldives. Search specifically for "pool villa" to discover hidden gems.
Location is more important than the stars
A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
