Ban Sainai Resort

Beautiful resort with an amazing infinity pool. We stayed in a grand pool view cottage which was spacious and had a lovely tub and great verandah. We loved the location which was spectacular and quiet, and so easy to get to in a tuk tuk. Much better than staying in Ao Nang centre which is quite noisy and smelly. The breakfast was pretty good though not the absolute best we’ve had. Lovely restaurant with a view though.

No major criticisms. I see that some other guests have complained about the fact that this is a dry hotel. They clearly haven’t done their research. Ao Nang is a Muslim town and many of the hotels there don’t serve alcohol. The hotel doesn’t stop you bringing your own though, and there are many bars in town. I think this is an excellent compromise which allows the hotel to stand by its principles of not making a business out of alcohol, but not banning those who like a drink from buying it elsewhere.
