Anthony Storey 2008-03-26 until 2008-04-03	Tropical Herbal Spa & Resort, Ao Nang, Phranang Bay when i arrived i wasnt too impressed as the hotel was virtually hidden off a main road but once you enter the resort you feel hidden from the tourist track. as it has lots of trees and greenery giving it a jungle feel. If you dont like your typical hotel resorts, which are everywhere and you want something different then its ideal. i found the room to be really nice and clean, there is a hotel being built next door, but didnt bother us at all, we were out all day so it was finished by the time we got back.The pool was nice, and on one occasion returning from a long day out, the staff turned on the jacuzzi for us. I have to mention that the staff were outstanding, just so nice and will go out of their way to help you, including lifts to the beach if you dont feel like the walk on a hot day, which is only 15mins at most anyway or a 40baht tuk tuk ride back, and can be nice to take in the main street of ao nang,if going to krabi (ao nang) again i would definetly stay again.	i would highly recommend sawadee to book hotels in thailand.
Stefan Spork 2008-03-19 until 2008-03-23	Tropical Herbal Spa & Resort, Ao Nang, Phranang Bay Ok hotel med djungelkänsla med allt vad de innebär... även toa utomhus	ok
Louise Callaghan 2008-03-15 until 2008-03-19	Tropical Herbal Spa & Resort, Ao Nang, Phranang Bay Great value for money.Great place. Staff very nice friendly and helpful. Some construction work going on next door at the time we stayed but we were put up at the top of the resort so it didn t really bother us. Breakfast was good. Very hilly and steep steps to get to rooms but worth it.	Great booking service.

Edwin van de Bunt 2008-02-21 until 2008-02-25	Tropical Herbal Spa & Resort, Ao Nang, Phranang Bay Very nice resort, beautiful garden and very nature. The staffs are very kindly, clean everyday. The toilet is outside the livingroom and sometimes in the night a bit afraid to go to the toilet. Always checking (dangerous animals) before inside the room. With small children ( we have 3 years old doughter) is not so feeling savety. No place you can walk easyly with your children because the location is like the hill. When we swimming at pool I found green little snake. My husband saw it too but when the man at the resort came is already gone. But they said not often happens. The breakfast is very standard (no other choice).	Sawadee is very good! We have no problem for the second times with checked in.
Sara Jane Kallstrom 2008-02-19 until 2008-02-22	Tropical Herbal Spa & Resort, Ao Nang, Phranang Bay This resort is the perfect place to rest if you re looking for a quiet, relaxing oasis. The villas are very large, with a fresh basket of fruit and a fully stocked mini-bar. The pool is heavenly, surrounded by thick palm trees and karst hills in the background. If you re lucky, you might even see monkeys! The spa is overpriced, but if ambiance is important to you, than it s worth the money. The staff is more than helpful; very lovely people.
Philip Andrew Gifford 2008-01-14 until 2008-01-15	Tropical Herbal Spa & Resort, Ao Nang, Phranang Bay Yes its a long walk to beach yes its on a hill...but tis the best lovely most amazing place to stay with freindly staff and just the best indoor and out door space
Gerald Manduca 2007-12-21 until 2007-12-24	Tropical Herbal Spa & Resort, Ao Nang, Phranang Bay The resort was lovely, just as shown on the Sawadee website. However we were the unlucky ones as we were given a Villa which was nothing like what we saw on the website. All the other Villas had been recently refurbished. Our s must have been used as a store room for a while as it was in such a state. We are in the process of requesting compensation. I hope Sawadee will be as efficient when it comes to giving out compensation. If you do decide to book this resort make sure they dont give you Villa 1. It was so obvious that it wasn t meant to be rented out that it wasnt on their info booklet at the hotel and not even on their own website. We were unable to change room or resort as everywhere was fully booked.	Booking service was great as usual. However I wont book another hotel that requires full payment before you even get there.
Phillip Bernard Tjoelker 2007-11-12 until 2007-11-16	Tropical Herbal Spa & Resort, Ao Nang, Phranang Bay Great place for young honeymooners like us, or mid-aged couples looking for memorable romantic nights! Loads of stairs have to be climbed, so if you don t have a pair of healthy legs, I wouldn t choose this. However, we had villa 6; one of the villa s highest on the top, so we had a lot of privacy. Bed was good and klambu was really no luxury considering some mots, bugs and mosquitos flying around at night. Bathing in rose leafs at night in a huge tub surrounded by candles under the stars and palm tree leafs with the background sound of lizards, grasshoppers, birds and a fountain was an unforgettable experience. Positives: ========== - bed - cleaniness - privacy - greens, plants, flowers - huge bath tub - one time we had to leave very early for trip and they packed our breakfast for us so that we could take it with us on our way, which was very nice! Negatives: ========== - very low water pressure and water wasn t hot.. not even warm (it took more than 2 hrs. to fill up the tub and by the time it was full, the water was already cold). Also, the pressure of the tapwater was so low, that the shower head didn t give enough water to wash the soap off your body. - we had power outage 2X at night when we came home. This is frightening, because you have to find your way up the stairs while it s very dark and find key+keyholes. - breakfast was a dissapointment; first morning there was only the usual fat continental boring sauzage, bacon, fried egg and toast. We asked for Thai food, rice, vegetables, yoghurt and fruit. The next day there was some, but it wasn t really cooked or prepared nicely. - w.c. pot is right in the middle of the open air bathroom. Doing nr.1 in front of my girlfriend is still ok, but nr.2 visible to her was a little embarrassing. - There is a mosque right next to the resort. An islamic iman starts with his prayers through loudspeakers early in the morning and keeps repeating this during the day several times. This woke us up a few times too early unfortunately. - Locks of front door and terrace door are a bit old and sometimes it took us a while to open or close the doors. - Fridge is very small and was filled with cans and stuff we don t like to consume. So we had to leave the contents of it outside the fridge for the entire week so that there was space to put our own products in. - back end of room behind the bed was placed 1/2 meter lower than the front end. Very dangerous, because we stumbled down and fell down several times, hitting our heads against the closet. If you re less lucky than we were, you can break a leg or hip. - About the resort s facilities: hotspa, steambath and sauna which is free for customers. However, when we finally requested this on our last day we were told that they were out of order.	Great, easy and clear - already did my next bookings with Sawadee again.
Michaela Steiner 2007-11-03 until 2007-11-16	Tropical Herbal Spa & Resort, Ao Nang, Phranang Bay very friendly staff. resort and hotel is in an quiet location and near the beach, shops and restaurants. we stayed in a standard bungalow for a week. the bungalow is simple but ok for the price. the only problem is that the room was to dark. would come again but only in a deluxe room.	excellent service. would definitely recommend.
