Ao Prao Resort

Fantastic experience and wonderful service. The rooms were beautiful and the sea was clear and blue. Breakfast was a buffet selection of Thai and Western food and the restaurant for dinner had a great selection. We had a lovely time with a staff member called Mint who helped my boyfriend select a table overseeing the sunset so he could propose to me! There are also 2 pools and the spa is nearby for a massage. We also watched a fire show on Friday night, so much fun! We were so sad to leave! Note for everyone arriving to Koh Samet, there's an entry fee (I think 200b per person) to enter the island, as it's a national park. You pay this fee to the government officials when you come off the boat.

Had the pleasure of staying at Ao Prao for 3 nights with a friend. It was everything we needed and hoped for. First off to the staff, thank you all so much for your hospitality you all were amazing from the port on the mainland to the hotel. We felt right at home. Room was great, air conditioned, clean, with all necessary amenities. Food was also delicious, we dined at both Breeze and “O” restaurants and all our meals were great. The only thing I wish was there would be more Thai options for breakfast maybe? Beach was very clean and all the grounds were the resort is located are really well taken care of, especially as this is a natural reserve. Honestly this was a 10/10 I didn’t want to leave and I really already want to go back. Thank you all for making this a beautiful time.

The warm smiles and friendly greetings were a fantastic start to out vacation at Ao Prao! We were pleasantly surprised to receive a special invitation to the welcome party. It was a great opportunity to meet fellow guests and enjoy some fantastic entertainment. We even got a free room upgrade due to the hotel party‘s music! Both the front desk manager and hotel manager were incredibly warm and welcoming. They took the time to ensure that my stay was as comfortable as possible, and their attention to detail did not go unnoticed. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable getaway. The combination of the stunning location, excellent staff, and top-notch management make it a standout destination. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Ao Prao Resort is a super nice, pleasant hotel on Koh Samet. We felt very welcomed from minute one. The staff really stand out, especially Wan and Mint from the Restaurant Service Staff are two super warm ladies who make sure you want for nothing. But also the others are very kind. The food is delicious, you have two menu cards to choose from, good wines (I had the two redwine which are served by the glas and not whole bottle). The fruit shakes are fantastic, the atmosphere on the terrace in the evening for dinner is very cozy and the musician who plays in the evening really puts you in a good mood. Every evening we have spent there was a great one! The beach is fantastic and quiet. The sunbeds are very comfortable, you always get towels, but empty glasses could be cleared away more regularly. No staff or salespeople who want to sell you something are a nuisance. The two pools are worth mentioning, the smaller one with a direct view of the sea and sunset (!) and the larger one is also beautifully situated, surrounded by trees and palm trees. In general, the hotel is in a very beautiful and idyllic location. We would also like to mention our cleaning lady, who always replenished everything and worked very cleanly, really excellent! I hope this review will be passed on to the staff, because they really deserve it! The rooms are nice, specious, clean (actually the whole Resort is very clean), good mattress, just the pillows are quite hard and the shower is not the best, but we had always hot water. The view from our room 215 was great and we felt very comfortable in the room. I can really recommend this hotel. It's a short TukTuk ride to the center for 200 baht (one way), which is worth it as you also have various restaurants there, a 7/11 for snacks on the beach or the travel pharmacy or late night bars (open until 23:00 I guess) Compared to the neighboring hotels, we really made the right decision to book the Ao Prao Resort.

Having a nice one-night stay at Ao prao resort. The resort staff is friendly and greatly helpful. There are numerous beach activities such as Kayaking, swimming as well as Thai and international restaurants. There is a fire show as well. Over all, it is nice, peaceful resort with great scenery and services. Highly recommend for travelers with families and spouse.
