Phra Nang Inn
by DarkRayDespite the high season, the hotel was also very accomodating to my requests and agreed to an early check-in of 9am (as my flight arrived at 8.15am) and late check-out time of 2pm (as my fight departed at 5.35pm). The usual check-in and check-out time are 2pm and 12pm respectively. The price stated below is for a superior room (single, twin, or double).
Do note that although it is located at the beach front, most rooms do not face the sea.
The few complaints I have are:
1. The swimming pool at the Coconut Wing of the hotel (which holds their Superior Rooms - which I stayed at) is very old, rather poorly maintained and has lots of leaves in it. But this is not so much of a problem since most people will be swimming in the beaches and there is a much nicer swimming pool across the road at their Betelnut Wing (which holds their Deluxe Rooms).
2. Their staff do not seem to have a good geographical knowledge of the islands and beaches around Ao Nang Bay. They also do not seem to know that besides the Railey West Beach, there is a Railey East Beach as well. But this problem can be easily solved by obtaining the free tourist map from any of the "Tourist Information Centres" (esentailly day tour agents) there.
3. Their jacuzzi is nothing more than a fountain and they charge for using it. Oh yeah, it was very cold too!
Decorated with natural materials such as coconut husks, logs, and sea shells. *Nice*
