Aonang Phu Petra Resort, Krabi Reviews

Room is lovely and big and there is a nice bath as well as a shower! However it is a long walk to the beach of about 30 minutes and as it was rainy season it rained a lot during my stay and unfortunately the hotel does not provide umbrellas which was disappointing. The staff are very friendly and the hotel faces a mountain which is nice and you do hear wildlife such as frogs at night. A decent hotel for the price and if you rent a scooter the location shouldn’t be an issue.

Another hotel pretending to be a resort. More like a upmarket backpackers. 1. Safe in the room not working so you have to deposit your valuables at reception in their lockboxes. 2. Management is absent and never come. 3. The whole place is in need of a coat of paint, which will never happen. 4. No restaurant and no breakfast or any other meals. They provide a toaster in the morning but also paper plates and cups and plastic knifes. 5. No tissues or bathrobe. 6. Towels are so old it was like drying yourself with cardboard. I am sure there is more I could say but best just to advise you to avoid this place.

resort nestled in the trees next to cliffs. nive pool, will stay again

Excellent hotel, the room is very large. We had a double bed. Large bathroom. There is a shower and a bath. We booked without breakfast, but in the morning you could come for free to drink tea or coffee, make toast with butter or jam. Excellent pool, clean and warm. Small depth difference. The hotel is located far from the main pedestrian street, those without transport have to walk a long way. But the hotel has a shuttle.

We loved the staff, mainly the ladies at the reception, really adorable, the hotel has aged, on the other hand the bathroom and more recent, but considering the price we pay we should not complain and it need a means of transport, a shuttle takes us 3 times a day and then take a taxi back

It won't be refunded when it's sunny, so please be careful for hotel guests

Beautiful, peaceful spot just far enough away from the business of the main *****. The rooms are very spacious, clean and well air conditioned - the staff, accomodating and delightful. The pool is lovely despite there being no mattresses provided on several of the larger sun beds, making them uncomfortable to the point of being unusable. There were also no cushions on any of the seating and daybeds in and outside the room, which meant that they were very uncomfortable at best.. The bed was HUUUGE but (I gotta say this) it was THE hardest mattress in the history of mattresses, but perhaps not all rooms have this issue and I’m just a princess. Wi-Fi was very, very patchy so beware if you are reliant on this.

A slice of peace and tranquility, but still close to Ao nang for restaurants,trips etc, spacious lodges,instead of a box room. We would definitely book again.

This was one of the most unprofessional welcomes I’ve experienced in all my years of traveling. I arrived two hours before check-in and was told my room wasn’t ready, which I understood, so I waited in the reception area. About an hour later, another couple arrived—also before the check-in time—and were allowed to check in straight away. It was only when the receptionist saw me watching their conversation that she told me my room was ready too. There was no communication during that whole time—no radios, no updates, nothing—so I have no idea why I had to wait and only got access to my room after someone else was helped. It felt unfair and poorly managed. When I was being shown to my room, the staff member opened the balcony doors and suddenly screamed. I asked what was wrong, and she said there was an issue with the bed, then left me outside on the porch while she went to get someone else. When she returned, I asked again why she screamed like that, and she avoided the question. I pressed her further, asking if there was an animal or something in the room, and she vaguely admitted she had seen an insect or animal, but didn’t clarify what exactly it was. She then brought a maintenance man to check the room, and they both laughed about the situation in Thai while I was standing right there. It made me feel very uncomfortable and disrespected. She then told me it was fine because whatever it was couldn’t be found, so it must have gone. At that point, I said I didn’t feel comfortable staying in that room anymore. We returned to reception together, and as we walked, she kept laughing with other staff members about what had happened, even though I was right beside her. It felt incredibly unprofessional and dismissive of my concerns. I already felt like leaving, but decided to give it another try. They moved me to a different room, but unfortunately, this room was filthy. The surfaces hadn't been wiped down, and there were watermarks everywhere (photos attached). I asked housekeeping to come clean the room again, and it took them three separate attempts over the next 24 hours to do it properly. I didn’t feel comfortable at all during my stay. I stayed one night and then checked out. I requested a refund, which they did provide, thankfully, but it was such a disappointing experience overall. I had really been looking forward to staying here, but I was shocked by how unprofessional and careless the staff were. I would absolutely avoid this place at all costs

My kids and I stayed here for a couple of days. Its a lovely place with friendly, helpful staff. A little bit out of the way and too far to walk to the beach. They supply a ride to take you to the beach, as I don't drive this was very helpful. The only bad point was there is no restaurant, but they do offer snacks in the morning at no extra cost. The views were amazing and if you want quiet, its a peaceful location away from the busy crowds.

The staff are amazing, friendly and so helpful. The swimming pool and deck area was clean and tidy. Beautiful rooms great location. Brilliant restaurant nearby called Beams Kitchen fresh cooked food Thai & English menu lovely staff good value for money. Great beaches nearby.

After reading some reviews AFTER booking I was a little concerned ! No need . We had a lovely stay. We have stayed in Ao Nang on and off for 28 years and watched it grow from beautiful tranquility to tourist hell. Phu Petra was like stepping back in time . Lovely location , attentive helpful staff , big clean rooms. It's not a 5 star luxury resort. It is a 5 star typical southern Thai charm accomadation and HUGE value for money $600 australian dollars for 8 nights . Light free breakfast . Shuttle.bus to main Aonang . 5 min walk to some great quiet Thai family restaurants . Great pool area . Little.peace of Heaven in AoNang. Thankyou Phu Petra Amanda and Martin

Beautiful place, far from the madding crowd of Aonang but close enough to walk to the main stretch. Villa is huge and has a bath, drop shower, mini fridge and deck area. The view is stunning and you feel quite remote even though you are close to town. The pool was fab and the kids lived swimming up to 9pm. The room was great and had everything we needed. Stop at 7/11 for sodas and drinks if you like to have something in your room. There is only coke and soda at the hotel. There is no food but the lay on a simple breakfast which is enough to get you on your way. The staff were delightful and nothing was too much trouble. They sorted laundry, bowls and extra glasses for us when required. You can book yoga at the hotel up the road and there is a nice pizza place two minutes walk away. Also Rainbow restaurant 5 min walk from villas is a nice cheap meal. The villas could use a spruce up but honestly we loved it and it felt like great value for money. We walked down to the beach and were relieved to get back to our peaceful accommodation.

The limestone cliffs from the property around the pool were awsome and striking! The hotel was nice and the room very spacious. The lobby was also very spacious but with the property grounds lacked plants and flowers, was very bare.
