Other comments about the hotel: We stayed at the Ao Prao resort for a week and it was really great for a relaxing getaway. The staff are very friendly and helpful food quality is good and reasonably priced, however the wine is a bit overpriced.Beautiful beach and the sea is clean. Highly recommendable

Other comments about the hotel: The hotel was great!! Good room. good views, good restaurant, very pleasant staff. But be aware that you are in a luxury enclave - the rest of the island is drowning in garbage, overcrowded an in case of a short but heavy rain shower a huge mudhole. Even authorities have become aware of that problem! No need to hire a scooter for driving around - you will be disappointed!

Other comments about the hotel: The Ao Prao resort is really overpriced. The service from the staff, breakfast, rooms (especially the bathroom which smells),and housekeeping are not on a level what you can expect for what you pay. That really is a shame because the location is perfect.

Other comments about the hotel: The hotel is made of several little houses that have a wonderfull view on the sea, which is only 20 meters from your porch. The prices for food and drinks are above what you are used to in Thailand, but there are enough other places you can go to that are cheaper.Service is very good and flexible; by mistake we booked the wrong dates but when we arrived one week early they made no big deal of it and offered us the same accomodation.

Other comments about the hotel: We changed instantly to La Vimarn Hotel because there is no mobile connection in the rooms of Ao Prao Resort.Beach is very nice and clean, also the sea. Restaurants are overpriced (everything on Ao Prao Beach is from same owner), no really chance to go out.

How was the booking process handled?: The service is great. I immediately get my reservation after the phone call.
Other comments about the hotel: The room is not as luxury as I thought it would be but it is not that terrible. The bathroom could need remodeling. I enjoy the location of the beach because it is not as crowded and scenery is great. The draw back to this is that there are only few restaurants around and the price for the meal is little more expensive.

How was the booking process handled?: The booking service worked well.
Other comments about the hotel: Don t stay here!!!! We did not have a very good stay at this hotel. The location is excellent but the service was very bad. Our original room was good but there was an animal in the roof (lizards or rat) which stopped us sleeping at night. I informed reception and they said they would check it out, but they did nothing. Later that day the animal was still making noise and I called reception again. Eventually somebody came and reluctantly agreed to move us to another room. This room was appalling. It was dark and dingy and the bed was broken. Again I complained to reception and eventually they agreed to move us to another room which was an upgrade for one night. This had been available all the time but they did not want to give it to us as it was a higher grade than the room we had originally booked. For the remaining two nights we got a room that was similar to the original one we had minus the animals in the roof. When we tried the shower in this it did not work. Again we called reception and they sent a maintenance person to fix it - which took about an hour. Overall, this resort is overpriced and focussed on getting as much money as possible from its clients rather than providing a good service. this is a pity as it is in a good location, but they seem to have lost track on what is important in a hotel - treating the guests well.

Other comments about the hotel: Wonderful hotel in perfect, beautiful location. Lovely staff. Very quiet location but easy to get to the other busier beaches/restuarants and bars if wanted. Excellent food.

Other comments about the hotel: Ao Prao was a very relaxing hotel to stay in during the week, however, at the weekend, a large party arrived for a Karaoke night. We were asked to move away from the only shaded area of the pool to allow for the karaoke setup. This was a midday, despite the the singing not starting until 7pm! This was frustrating when you have a 15 month old child with you. The volume was far to high and kept us all awake until 11pm. My advise to those thinking of booking at Ao Prao, check first that there are no karaoke partys booked for the time you are there. It will ruin your holiday if there is.

Other comments about the hotel: If you want to relax on Samet Island, it does not get any better that this. Beautiful room, great service and great seafood. Not overcrowded as the beaches on the east side of the island.

Other comments about the hotel: This is probably our 8th visit to Ao Prao, but the first one in 2009. Did something change? I think so, the room seems to have gotten a new layer of paint, there were flower arrangements at the restaurant table, in general the service seems to have been turned up just a small notch. As always a great place to stay for a quiet time at the beach or by the pool. If you re at Koh Samet for the party, go to the other side of the island.

Other comments about the hotel: Very pleasant resort, rooms are very charming located in a small individual house with a sea view. The beach is nice and quiet. There is a free shuttle boat going to Ban Phee Pier.
