Andakiri Pool Villa Panoramic Sea View

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Cocktails (happy hour half price between 5-7pm) were excellent. Panoramic views. Nice to chill in pool after long day sight seeing. Staff happy to drop off and pick up free of charge to Kodam restaurant and Corner Massage (half way to beach) when going to or from Ao Nang beach (courtesy bus hours).

Hotel is up a very steep hill but as long as you are prepared to time courtesy bus (or pay 50 baht pp: which is reasonable) it is not a problem.

The room was very good, clean, comfortable and anything I need already in the room. The private pool was good as well. The staff’re very kind and helpful.

Fantastic view of the sea and sunset from room Friendly staff. Free regular transport to Ao Nang beach provided. Quiet location.

We tried to find a hotel where we could enjoy an amazing view, get away from crowds and just basically passively relax for a while. Andakiri pool villa was perfect for this. We couldn't believe how good the view was from our pool. We really loved the feeling of privacy. Some days, we didn't even leave our villa, we just ordered room service or food from the surrounding restaurants (with foodpanda) and just hung out at our pool all day. We had a seriously great time and we felt very rested at the end of our stay. A few more things we liked: There was a 7-eleven just a short walk down the hill from the hotel. There were lots of great restaurants nearby, we especially liked KoDam Kitchen. The hotel restaurant itself was really nice - we really enjoyed some of the foods we tried, we liked the cocktails a lot, and just sitting there in the evening was amazing because of the breeze and the view. The regular and free shuttle to the beach was great, especially when we had been walking around for a while and didn't want to walk up the hill to our villa. One thing I would like to add: some reviews we read here made us fear the steep walk up to the hotel. It's definitely steep, however, it's also a rather short distance. We're no athletes (more like lazy couch potatoes), but we had no problem walking both up and down multiple times, and if we ever did feel too tired to walk up, we could just wait for the shuttle from the beach. We will definitely come here again if we get the chance.

Keep in mind that we really liked our stay and these are just small things we feel could be improved: 1) The staff was super friendly and kind, but we did feel a bit of a language barrier at times. A few conversations took a bit of effort. The staff was definitely also putting in effort in order to make sure they understood us, but we would have appreciated if there was somebody around who felt more comfortable with speaking English. 2) Our room was showing some signs of wear and tear. Our shower door didn't stay closed, there were some cracks in the ceiling paint and some scratches on glass surfaces. None of it really made us feel uncomfortable, but a bit of a touch-up would go a long way in making the room feel much more luxurious. 3) We would have liked some more usable refrigerator space in our room. We did store some of our own foods and drinks in the minibar, but it was really small to begin with, and it was already quite full with minibar stuff, so it was challenging keeping our own drinks cool.

Amazing views. Staff are amazing - very helpful.
