Ao Nam Mao

Dated resort in a great location on Railay beach. We were offered an early checkin (about 2 hours) which was greatly appreciated. We stayed in the jacuzzi villa type room which was nice and spacious. Despite this, the rooms and very clearly dated and had wear and tear throughout. The AC worked well and the day bed was a nice place to relax while in the room. The resort grounds were lush and there are two pools available to swim. Railay beach is separated in two parts: west side which has the beach and east side which is mangrove. This hotel is located on the west side which was perfect for beach access. The biggest disappointment was the restaurant staff who are very unenthusiastic about their roles and don’t care to provide good customer service. The restaurant is empty while others along the beach were full - it was obvious why this is the case. The resort arranged airport transfers for us, though it was expensive, it was a very seamless experience.

Incredible accommodation of the highest standard. Very helpful staff and owner. We woke on our second day to watch the monkies in the treetops around us. We loved the local bars/restaurants on the beach front across the road.

Room was comfy. Toilet was good. There were four rooms in the villa. One of them in the first level had a pathetically low amount of water from the shower head. And that room has endless amount of flies that we became expert flies swatter after the trip. Other than that, room cleanliness was fine, staff was efficient.
