Mr & Mrs Eussen - Bonchak 2009-03-12	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang We stayed 5 days in Vogue and enjoyed our time very much. We booked the honeymoon suite, with a balcony having a magnificient view on the mountain and seeside. No noise from the street there. The breakfast is very good, ample fruit, we missed mango but very easy buy this at the street-shops ourselves. The pool is somewhat small but convenient. Only comment is that one needs to climb over 100 steps of the stairs to reach the room, but on the other hand it is a good excercise. We recommend this hotel when one likes to stay in Ao Nang beach, which is growing into the Patong Beach of Krabi.	Very kind staff all over the hotel, very much willing to be at your service all the time.You just ask and it is there already. Very good indeed, specially considered the staff looks relatively young in age.
paul clack 2009-03-05	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang Excellent hotel. Great location in Ao Nang, not tooo close or too far from the beach with some good restaurants right opposite the hotel. Definately worth booking the honeymoon suites as they are well worth the extra charge. Staff very friendly and a good choice for breakfast. Would recommend to friends when visiting ao nang	Booking service was quick and efficient
Mr William Guiney 2009-01-01	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang I spent 9 nights at this hotel over xmas & new year and have mixed feelings about the place. Good points staff were freindly and attentive, the layout is nice with the enclosed garden area, and the room balconies overlooking the pool are excellent; the hotel also enjoys a good location a short walk from the long boats on Ao Nang beach. Negatives - My wife and I booked a honeymoon/suite @6350 baht/night (thats £125/night at time of writing) and had requested an extra bed for our six year old, another 600 B/night. However, upon arrival and seeing the room and how big the 2 resident twin beds were, I informed reception that we would no longer require the extra temporary extra bed which they d put in the room. Next day I telehoned Sawadee customer services to check that I would not be charged for the extra 3rd bed, which was removed from the room following my request. The Sawadee contact asked to speak to the hotel front desk, who in turn told me that in fact extra bed had been put into the room by mistake and that the room (which remember was a twin bedded room!)was bigger than normal and that the second bed was infact the extra bed!!I argued for 30 mins or so that this was not on, but the hotel would not move on the issue, sawadee did not help resolve the situation, although I suppose they could only act upon waht the hotel was telling them over the phone. Needless to say, today was the first time since getting back home that I have had the chance to re-examine the room photographs as advertised on SAwadee..and I am now 100% convinced that I was actually given a DELUXE room (twin bedded)as opposed to the HONEYMOON/SUITE room (with an extra bed)which I had booked and paid for. It plainly states that the Honeymoon/Suite has a large single 4 poster bed...which I didn t get So, thats a differential of 850Baht/night (7650B) on the cheaper room that I have been overcharged...I look forward to someone from Sawadee looking into this unacceptable situation with the management of this hotel and contacting me at their earliest convenience to arrange a refund...	Smooth, but hate paying in advance..just in case you don t get what you think you ve paid for!
E. Middeljans 2008-12-23	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang Comfortable, clean room with great view on the bay and swimmingpool from an overhanging balcony! We had two extra beds for our kids which was no problem ( extra 600 bath each )Friendly staff, good breakfast, we would recommend the place though there are also nice places closer to the beach	This was our first time but things went very smoothly!
mr greg blower 2008-09-12	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang vey disappointed as we were not informed that pool would be closed for renovation and a HUGE building site next door working till after midnight, nice enough room with fantastic view but up 4 flights of stairs, we only stayed 1 night out of 4 but hotel have offered us full refund which is great as we moved onto Phuket which is much nicer and like paradise. We would not go back to Ao Nang in low season as full of construction sites!! Hotel is is good central location for beach and bars etc though but not what we expecting after internet photos which as deceiving....	very easy and quick booking, used them for 3 different locations in Thailand and will definately use again and recommend.
CAROLYN JANE TAKLE 2008-09-08	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang We stayed at this resort for 4 nights and absolutely loved it. Construction is taking place around Ao Nang but work does stop and allows you to sleep. Climbing four flights of stairs wasn t an issue. Our room was fantastic and have already booked again for 2009. would recommend this resort to others. Close to everything and staff were ever obiliging.
Ujala Chaudhary 2008-08-28	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang I lived in this hotel for 4 days (honeymoon)and it was worth every penny. Its centrally located. Close to eating joints, massage parlors, market, sea etc. The staff is very cordial and co-operative. The breakfast buffet is nice but same menu repeated everyday can get a little boring. The rooms are very spacious and the private balcony had a good view of the sea.I wud def recommend this hotel to others:)
Norbert Dallmann 2008-08-26	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang If u not like to hear heavy construction noise from the nearbyhotel from 8:00 - 24:00 avoid this hotel at all costs maybe till end of this year. Without the noise the room (we had a honeymoon suite) is nice with a great view. Not eat too spicy because the toilet is open and maybe your beloved one not like so much to hear that noise or the bad smell.
MOIRA DAVIDSON 2008-08-15 until 2008-08-20	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang Very disappointed indeed! Would not recommend this hotel at all! Both suite rooms had musty smell, were not cleaned to a high standard and one room had toenail clippings left on balcony seat even after we had complained!There was mould on one ceiling and the sheets had definitely seen better days. To make matters worse there is a building site right outside the rooms we had.Needless to say, we stayed only one night of the five booked...my advice is look elsewhere.	Really impressed with booking service throughout our trip. Response to our complaint was dealt with swiftly- thank you.
Elena Carrillo Plasencia 2008-08-12 until 2008-08-16	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang El hoel está fenomenal. Muy bien situado. El único preblema es que están construyendo un edificio al lado y empiezan a las 8 de la mñana y terminan a las 11 de la noche.	Sin problema. Todo fue perfecto.
Patrick 2008-08-03 until 2008-08-06	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang It s OK. For the price we paid, 4500 Baht for 3 nights. But we decided there were better choices than Vohue. So we moved to Centara Krabi. So impressive there. It turned out to be the holiday of our life time.	very good
Mette Kristine Nielsen 2008-07-05 until 2008-07-09	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang Fantastic resort. Can t give the resort and it s fantastic staff enough positive comments. The resort is surrounded by beautiful flowers and we had a fantastic view from our room. We already miss the staff. They are very friendly and kind to everybody. Very good food.	Fantastic
Jamie Roche 2008-07-03 until 2008-07-06	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang We booked 3 deluxe rooms at this wonderful hotel from July 3rd 2008 to July 6th 2008. Service from the staff at the hotel was exceptional from check in to check out, smooth and fuss free. Rooms were better than expected and we were definitely very pleased, considering the low price we paid(off-season). Breakfast was good with a good variety of food for all tastes. The swimming pool was also nice. Hotel was located right in the middle of Ao Nang, Krabi which made it very easy to move around. Also after checking around the street vendors we found out that booking taxis or day trips was cheaper at the hotel. I definitely would recommend this hotel to couples or families travelling with children.	Booking through this website was fast, efficient and cheaper than many other websites or through the hotel directly. Agaon I would definitely recommend using this website for your hotel bookings.
Crystal Lim 2008-06-29 until 2008-07-04	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang Perfect hotel! We stay at honeymoon suite room for our honeymoon trip for 5 nights and we really enjoyed the environment and the decorations of the room especially the open style bath tub is huge enough for 2 persons! Staff are friendly and helpful and their english is quite good as well.	fast response and reliable. This is my 4th time using Sawadee.com. Good service!
Raymond Knudsen Skjorpe 2008-06-23 until 2008-07-10	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang Hi!!! Thanks for 2 weeks of fun and relaxing and very nice place!! Thank you Si Peng and rest of Hotel staff....... Will be back......Raymond and family
Sunil Ramchandani 2008-06-16 until 2008-06-20	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang Really nice hotel. Stairs a little cumbersome. Prefer garden view over seaview room. Hotel staff were excellent. Hotel food was very good and prices reasonable. Inclusive breakfast was pretty good too.	Excellent booking service. Will definitely recommend others to use sawadee.com for online booking. Response time for special requests was exceptional.
robertrutter 2008-04-20 until 2008-04-30	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang very good in every way, lovely position staff first class,food to a good standard, perfect resort for low season. will return in october we hope.	as usual, first class
liz thomas-friend 2008-01-31 until 2008-02-07	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang We had a fantastic holiday here as part of our World tour. Our room was clean, luxurious and staff could not do enough to make us feel welcome. Facilities were very good especially the pool and the spa. We had several massage treatments and can recommend them! The staff are fabulous. Peter and his team will remain firm favourites with our girls and us until we return to visit soon. Thank you to all the staff!	Excellent!
Ann Rignell 2008-01-24 until 2008-01-30	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang very nice hotel, nothing to complain about !!	Good!!
Susan Miller 2007-12-17 until 2007-12-26	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang I booked the deluxe room which was lovely with fantastic view. The hotel staff were very pleasant, well presented and professional and very happy to help with any needs. Ao nang was a great central location for sightseeing. I personally give this hotel 10 out of 10 and would definitely go back. No complaints at all.	great booking service, no problems at all. booked two hotels with ease. good communication..
Bernd Seipp 2007-10-31 until 2007-11-05	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang Vernice and quit hotel, absolut frindly and helpful staff, restaurant is quiet good and not very expensive, clean room (honeymoon suite) with bathtube in room, which was absolut comfortable after becoming totaly wet on a motorbike tour.Would stay there again every time	excellent
S L Lee 2007-09-27 until 2007-10-02	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang Stayed at the suite room located at the 4th floor. Room is comfortable and nice. Hotel has no lift so the climbing of many flight of stairs can be challenging for those who are older and less physically fit. Breakfast buffet is acceptable and hotel is nearby to many amenities. Staff are also friendly. Overall a nice experience with the hotel.	Fast and efficient.
KEE HEOK SENG 2007-06-16 until 2007-06-19	Vogue Resort & Spa Ao Nang, Ao Nang A quiet hotel (may be due to low season) at good location. Very near to Ao Nang beach with just 10 mins walk. The suite is good for newly wed, but not for family with big children. Can t understand why they can t provide electric kettle or other means for making coffee/tea, hot water. Its really inconvenience for family with young children who need to milk often. Staffs are friendly and helpful, especially the Asst. Front Office Manager, Ms Teerarat Suathong. The hotel rate seems a bit over priced at low season. Overall, its a good place to stay.	Due to constraint by the system, we have to make two seperate bookings for 2 families (same check-in but diff check-out date), and were charged for the airport-hotel transfer per booking even though we have explained and only utilised one vehicle (van). Need to be more flexible and make convenience to holiday maker who used sawadee.com
Mr. Pius Binder 2007-01-31 until 2007-02-06	Vogue Pranang Bay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang We have spent 6 days in this impressive hotel. We were a family with four persons. We booked two suite rooms, one double and one twin bed rooms. The rooms were side by side and had a balcony connecting door. The rooms are very nice with a thai touch. The hotel is placed in nice tropical garden. We enjoyed our stay in this friendly hotel. The Aonang Beach is just a walk of 5-10 min. The breakfast was ok. We tried the restaurant once at buffet evening. It was ok. But there are so many good restaurant outside and the beachside with a reasonable price. Remark: You have to speak a very simple english, otherwise they have problems to understand you. The Thai peopele haven t the same english pronunciation. Overall the hotel is absolutley recommendable. Maybe we come back in some years.	Perfect. Fast and easy. We ll use them again next time.
L. Manchester 2006-12-28 until 2007-01-01	Vogue Pranang Bay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang The hotel and grounds were beautiful. the location was convienient to the beach and shopping.Views from the suite we rented were spectacular although the suite itself was just okay, not very clean and hugely overpriced. Staff spoke little or no English so any requests were usually ignored or confused. The office manager was extremely helpful when on duty. Spa services were overpriced and not great compared to the north or Bangkok.	Excellant service, very dependable would definately use them again.
Alan Shaw 2006-10-31 until 2006-11-04	Vogue Pranang Bay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang EXCELLENT HOTEL IN TERMS OF LOCATION (5mins from beach) AND ALL THE STAFF WERE FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. ROOM WAS SPACIOUS AND CLEAN. BREAKFAST BUFFET-LARGE CHOICE and EXCELLENT SERVICE I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL	EXCELLENT-VERY COURTEOUS AND EFFICIENT
LIVIA GONDOVA 2006-09-08 until 2006-09-14	Vogue Pranang Bay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang great hotel in a great location, only couple of minutes to the beach.we had a honeymoon room with good ocean views and rooms were pretty big with a nice balcony and a huge bath tub.as it was an off-season, we pretty much had the whole resort to ourselves, which was really nice!we were very happy with the room and with the staff, most of them spoke pretty good english, so no dramas at all!	very efficient service, very happy with our booking process
Reece 2006-07-17 until 2006-07-19	Vogue Pranang Bay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang The honeymoon suite is nice especially with the oversized bathtub. The only drawback is the toilet without door, which is a bit awkward for the private moment. Advise for the unfit traveller is to settle with the lower floor as there is a bit of stair climbing.	Good, efficient as usual.
Annica and Per-Erik, Sweden 2006-04-05 until 2006-04-12	Vogue Pranang Bay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang We booked one of the honeymoon suites. Simply wonderful!A great view from the balcony, lovely bathtub and a romantic and comfy bed (not as hard as usual at Thai-hotels). Robust and high quality interior. Bathrobe, slippers and good enough hairdryer were some of the extra features provided. Roomservice worked fine. We were very pleased with the breakfast; good omelette, fresh vegetables and fruits. The Spa was Ok. We never tried the restuarant. There were some small trouble with our taxi/cab order that we booked for transfer to the airport. In my opinion, there was a misunderstanding due to english pronunciation. A rather common thing in Thailand, but what was not so good is that it could have been handled in a better way. But it all worked out in the end. Overall this is a very good hotel. Probably one of the best in Ao Nang.	Worked excellent. Simple, no problems.
Nicola Kemp 2006-02-24 until 2006-02-27	Vogue Pranang Bay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang The hotel was very impressive. Lovely pool and the food and drinks by the pool were very good. Breakfast was one of the better ones i ve experienced in Thailand with freshly cooked egg dishes while you wait as well as the usual buffet fare. Staff were lovely and helpful even when changing my sons bed late at night after he d been sick (not from hotel food by the way). Directly opposite are a couple of great restaurants or you can walk just 5 or 10 mins down the road to so many others. Can t be beaten (not for this price anyway). If you re too full after dinner, a tuk tuk ride costs 20 baht per person from the other end of the beach - superb!	Excellent - all worked very well and never any hassle
Magnus Allvin 2006-02-23 until 2006-02-25	Vogue Pranang Bay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang Great resort, for the first time in 3 weeks...a great bed to sleep in. And the place is quiet at night and really nice rooms with great balcony. Also very good breakfast buffe. Highly recommended.	Good as always.
Mr & Mrs Graham 2006-02-01 until 2006-02-10	Vogue Pranang Bay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang This was our first visit to Krabi but not Thailand. We had mixed feelings about the resort. We booked a honeymoon suite which was well worth the extra cost. Looking at other rooms I would strongly recommend going for one of the more expensive rooms. The lush gardens in the resort, although very pretty, mean permanent shade and insects for those in standard rooms. The room we were in had a lovely clear view of the sea and islands. The cleaners did a wonderful job every day. We had a double soak tub which was fantastic as well as a 4-poster bed. The padded bench on the balcony was great for siestas. The only fault with the room was it had no door separating the toilet from the rest of the room with only a curtain for privacy: not very romantic! The hotel spa is very nice and open to the public. Other aspects of the resort were not so positive. The staff on reception were quite simply rude. The pool area could be a little cleaner. The buffet breakfast was depressing and really bad quality (although the waiters were friendly enough). A high percentage of people staying at the hotel were on package holidays, which may have contributed to the low standards of service and facilities. Certainly the staff on reception have got used to getting away with being very rude to guests, only using polite language in the presence of their management. Hospitality at the hotel is far below what I have encountered elsewhere in Thailand, and it is not good value for those traveling independently. I would not return but it has not put me off the region.
Ove Oscarsson 2006-01-25 until 2006-02-08	Vogue Pranang Bay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang We enjoyed our stay at this friendly hotel. We stayed in a Honeymoon Suite room at the 4th floor,with a nice view against the Andaman Sea. The hotel is located in a nice tropical garden,10 minutes walk from the beach. The breakfast buffet vas very good,and the personal was very friendly. The only disadvantage was that the Hotel did not have a lift so we had to use the stairs. We really like to recommend this Hotel to our friends.
SIMON THORBURN 2005-12-21 until 2005-12-31	Vogue Pranang Bay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang Hotel was excellent Extremely clean and very friendly service - the staff could not do enough for you and always had a smile on their face. Hotel was situated on the main road through Ao Nang but you could not notice the traffic at all - its location was actually very good as there were lots of restaurants and bars within a few hundred metres. Beach was about 5 - 10 minutes walk and semed quite busy but why go to the beach when you can stay by the pool. Only criticism I can make is that the large number of plants (which do add a great deal of seclusion to the hotel) actually block the views from the first floor balconies and also attract biting insects in the evening so we couldn t really sit out and have a drink before going out. This is only a very small criticism though - overall the hotel was excellent and the service and cleanliness was superb	Fine - Quick and efficient
Graeme Mclaren 2005-09-19 until 2005-09-24	Vogue Pranang Bay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang Simply excellent!! The staff were most helpful and always willing to go that extra mile to help out. Always smiling. Only consideration is the lack of a lift may make some rooms less appealing to the elderly or families with young kids. The stairs are not excessive and certainly didn t affect our stay but a consideration none the less. The location was good too. a 5 min walk to the beach and shops and resturants immediately outside the hotel entrance. There is also plenty of Tuk Tuk s so you get from one side of the resort to the other for around 40 Bhts!! Food at the hotle was very good although we only had breakfast as such a vast selection of resturants locally. Room was lovely, very clean and everything worked well (air con, ceiling fan, TV, full size fridge). The four poster bed was very comfortableand the view from the balcony was stunning. Private location, good facilities and excellent service and standards. For the price this is an excelent 4 start hotel. We ll return here without consideration - hopefully next year!!	Good - very easy and good follow up. The charge was a surprise at the end but not a high cost.
Miss Polly Littlewood 2005-05-02 until 2005-05-05	Vogue Pranang Bay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang We stayed at the Vogue Pranang Hotel at the beginning of May so got an excellent rate for the off- season. As it seemed such good value I booked in at the honeymoon suite, so that s really all I can comment on. The room was lovely with a pool facing balcony a four poster bed and an open plan bathing area so the bath tub (Round and large enough for two) seemed to be in the bedroom. Very romantic. Service was excellent, breakfast had a decent selection of continental food (croissants, toast, jams), noodles, cereal, salad and fresh tropical fruit. Great pool, and when we went it was practically deserted so it was like having our own private pool! The only downsides are that because the bathroom is open plan in the honeymoon suite the toilet is only seperated by a curtain so don t book with anyone you re not comfortable with! Also it is about 5-10 minutes walk to the beach at Ao Nang however there are plenty of nice shops and amenities to look at as you go along. All in all a lovely experience!	Very simple booking service and excellent selection of hotels. No problems! Thank you Sawadee
