Aonang Fiore Resort in Ao Nang

We recently stayed at the hotel and overall had a comfortable experience, but there are a few areas where improvements would make the stay much better, especially for Indian and vegetarian guests.

1. Limited Vegetarian Options:
If you are a pure vegetarian, the food choices are quite limited. In the breakfast buffet, vegetarian options were mostly restricted to salads, fruits, and bread-butter. We strongly feel the hotel should expand its vegetarian menu to cater to a wider range of guests.

2. Lack of Inclusivity for Indian Guests
We felt slightly unwelcomed as vegetarian options were minimal. Additionally, the hotel displays clocks for multiple international time zones but does not include India, despite a significant number of Indian tourists visiting. Adding India’s time zone would be a thoughtful and inclusive gesture.

3. Distance from the Beach
The hotel is approximately 2 km from the beach, which can be inconvenient as it requires taking a cab each time. Although the hotel provides a shuttle drop service three times a day, it would be helpful to have:
A) A pick-up service from the beach as well
b) More frequent shuttle timings

4. Limited Late-Night Food Support :
The hotel restaurant closes at 10 PM, making it difficult to order food late at night. Even if food is ordered online, staff do not assist in delivering it to the rooms. Since the rooms are quite far from reception and internal transport services are unavailable at night, collecting food parcels becomes inconvenient.

Overall, a good experience only because of the room stay and unique forest-like ambience.

Stayed 3 nights here. 2 nights in Tree Top View Room and due to change of travel plans, had to extend my stay one more night and got the Deluxe Room as it was the only one available. Can improve:

- Mattress in Deluxe room needs changing. It’s very hard and impossible to get a good sleep on it. When enquired they told Deluxe room mattresses are that way and they can provide a topper which I would have to fit myself as their housekeeping staff leaves by evening.

- The water flow was very slow in the shower area in the bathroom. They sent a technician, who inspected and confirmed the flow was slow, but he couldn’t do anything about it and left.

- Breakfast time is from 7-10.30. However, after 9.45 they don’t refill items. The lady who makes egg told me all the toppings were over by 10 am for 2 days. On the 2nd day, I complained to the manager after which it was restocked. For a 4 star resort, this is very disappointing hospitality.

- Need a shuttle to get to rooms. Accessibility could be a problem for elderly people and families with young kids.

On the plus side, my stay in Tree Top room was very comfortable. Property is well maintained and reception staff are warm.
