Camilla Svensson 2008-03-30 until 2008-04-03	AANA Resort & Spa, Klong Prao Beach All we can say FANTASTIC ! Clean room and good service. Lovely view from the breakfast restaurant.	Perfect
Peter Johansen 2008-02-23 until 2008-02-26	AANA Resort & Spa, Klong Prao Beach The hotel is situated in the most beautiful surroundings. At night the lighting adds to the jungle-type setting. We stayed in a top view villa. The small outdoor tub was cold and less useful, but the view was great. The room itself had a really large window overlooking the lagoon. Great view from the bed! The bathroom was OK, but the thin door did not leave much room for privacy. The restaurant served more than just decent meals, and the breakfast was as expected. We tried the small gym, which is ok for average users. The private beach a litte down the lagoon is wonderful and no crowded at all, with great service, affordable massage and a nice restaurant and beach bar. The staff was friendly and very helpfull. All in all we had a great stay at ANAA. Can recommend it.	As always sawadee delivered as promised!
Elisabeth Edstrom 2008-01-11 until 2008-01-15	AANA Resort & Spa, Klong Prao Beach Great service, beutiful surroundings with lovely flowers, trees and bushes. Clean pool with easy access and not too many people. The breakfast was very nice and there was nothing missing. The beach was kept in good condition and we had no problems in getting there with the boats from the hotel. The rooms were clean and nicely furnished in soft colours. The only thing we were not inpressed with was the food in the restaurant, it was boring with no surprises, we think it was a mistake to try to make it european. I can strongly recommend AANA.	Great.
R.A. van Hees 2007-02-26 until 2007-03-02	AANA Resort & Spa, Klong Prao Beach We liked the stay at AANA Resort & Spa at Koh Chang very much. A very good stay for honeymoners like us. Service at Reception and Restaurant very well. Also the free boat transport to the beach and Firefly is very nice. Advice: rent a motorcycle to be able to visit villages nearby.	I was 6 times in Thailand last year and used always Sawadee. I m very happy with the good service of Sawadee. Only the prepay system that is not refundable is less good then at other agencies.
Germann Elena 2007-02-09 until 2007-02-15	AANA Resort & Spa, Klong Prao Beach We stayed in this Resort in february 2007. The staff is friendly but not always fully-professional (When we arrived, we must wait 1 hour to receive our room (booked 2 months before)until noon, and another 1.30 hours for our luggages (after a call to the reception). The breakfast is basic with poor food selection and, inexcusably, reconsituted fruit juices. Although barely 2 years old, the buildings are already showing wear and tear: few of our doors, windows and the wardrobe fit properly. The water in the jacuzzi was so cold that you cannot stay more then 2 or 3 minutes inside. The price we paid (US$225 per night for a Top View Villa) is higher than they ought to be. The reality is not what they show in the web side, we won t be returning to AANA in a hurry.	Very good and professional.
Frank Giesecke 2006-12-27 until 2007-01-02	AANA Resort & Spa, Klong Prao Beach We spent 6 days in this beautiful resort.Rooms are nice,pool small but o.k.The breakfast could be better,e.g. fresh orange juice or european cheese would be nice.Staff always very friendly and helpful,just problems with the sometimes poor english language.Often no towels at the pool or at the beach and you have to arrange by yourself.Overall a bit to expensive in compariosn the the service/value offered.Will go back somewhen for sure
Brett Farmer 2006-12-20 until 2006-12-28	AANA Resort & Spa, Klong Prao Beach I stayed 8 nights at the AANA Resort in late-December, 2006 and I wish I could give it an unqualified recommendation because it has a great deal going for it. Its location on the quiet banks of the Klong Prao inlet is picture perfect, affording some genuinely stunning views; it has lovely landscaped gardens; and is peopled with many friendly, if not always fully-professional, staff. But the AANA Resort has problems...many problems. The beach, accessible by a short 5 minute boat ride, is sadly ordinary. Many of the advertised facilities are non-existent: even though we were there during peak season over Xmas and the hotel was full, the hilltop bar and beach bar were permanently closed, and there is absolutely no internet connection and, even more bizarrely, no telephone connection from any of the rooms. Catering at breakfasts is basic with poor food selection and, inexcusably, reconsituted fruit juices and instant coffee. Although barely 2 years old, the buildings are already showing wear and tear: few of our doors and windows fit properly, the toilet leaked, the wardrobe handle was broken, and, to top it off, our TV had barely watchable reception. Despite requests to the front desk, none of these problems were fully rectified during our stay. The management feigned concern but had that glassed-eye look that said yes, we ve heard these complaints a thousand times and have absolutely no intention of doing anything about them. All of which would be fine if the Resort were a budget affair but we were paying top dollar: US$225 per night for a Top View Villa. Ultimately for us, it was death by a thousand cuts and, while we enjoyed much of our stay there, we won t be returning to AANA in a hurry.	Smooth as always
Dagmar Bystron 2006-12-07 until 2006-12-19	AANA Resort & Spa, Klong Prao Beach everything was brilliant, but the service, the cost for the transfert from airport to the resort and the check-out-treatment was not as nice as we thought of an hotel like in this category.	thank you, sawadee, it was so nice with you and your service was absolutely great!!! many thanks!! Best regars!!
Stefan Gagg 2006-12-06 until 2006-12-11	AANA Resort & Spa, Klong Prao Beach Give the new Swiss management some month to fix the problems of this otherwise good structure. The price actually paid is to high for the service received. Advertised things do not work or are inexistent. (no WIFI and even no outside phoneline from the room - flooded beach without any F&B facility). Good housekeping but extremely bad service at the Cinnamon restaurant (new Indian F&B manager). They serve some cheap concentrate as orange juice and will NOT accomodate a request for a fresh one even if a guest is willing to pay for it. Staff speaking generally VERY poor English even by Thai standards. This hotel has a huge potential but the present owners must be very narrow minded people - I was charged THB 150 for a broken tap of a shampoo bottle (they easily slip - so beware). This charge is the most ridicolous thing that ever happened to me in a hotel:-(! (I left THB 40 000 there in 5 days) My advice: No go for the next 6 month - then give it a try. I may not as they really disappointed me.	Perfect as always.
David Astor 2006-09-21 until 2006-09-25	AANA Resort & Spa, Klong Prao Beach Outstanding resort. The staff are excellent with babies. The location on the river provided for wonderful views, especially of the fishermen s houses across the river. The beach is far better than the Whitesand Beach, which is overly developed. The dinners at the restaurant were excellent for European taste and the pricing was fair. The pricing of the rooms is curious, with large differentials in the pricES of different classes of rooms even though the differences in space/amenities are not that large. This means that the best value for money, at least when we were there (low season), was for the third class rooms (termed deluxe I think). The absence of wireless or broadband access was regettable and surprising in a resort of this class.	Good turnround times, but the offer should have made clear that the free night did not apply if you extended your stay.
K & H from Finland 2006-07-16 until 2006-07-21	AANA Resort & Spa, Klong Prao Beach We stayed five nights in the deluxe room. Off season prices are reasonable and worth of the money. The room was absolutely fabulous and the service was excellent. The location of the resort is good, only few minutes away from the private beach. The hotel offers really nice firefly kayak tours at the evening and the restaurant serves good food. The spa is nicely situated and decorated- although a bit expensive comparing the overall prices in Thailand. The staff of the hotel were really really helpful - if you needed anything they delivered it! The breakfast was tasteful. Rent a motorcycle/bike from the White Sand Beach(the main beach) and discover your own route. The motorcycle is much more cheaper if rented from the town than from the hotel. The hotel offers also a free transportation to the main city .	Good, no complaints.
