Aana Resort & Spa Koh Chang

We stayed for two weeks in a round bungalow with lake view and private pool. Just another 20 steps on foot to the large resort pool with cocktail bar. Simply brilliant – even if you just want to spend a day relaxing at the resort. With the resort boat you reach the resort beach in about 3 minutes, with plenty of loungers and dense bamboo sun umbrellas. The gentle sea breeze makes the constant 30°C feel like a cozy 25°C. The sea has bathtub temperature – you have to like that – but it’s clean, and the beach is wonderful. The whole resort is a bit older, but that’s part of its charm. Breakfast was always very good, and from time to time there were also Western dishes available for those who need them. The staff is very friendly and the service was excellent – requests, concerns, or problems were handled immediately. The rooms are well maintained, and fresh towels and soap are provided regularly. Mopeds (125cc / 150cc) can also be rented directly at the resort – they’re in good condition and highly recommended. Even though there’s plenty of culinary variety in the area, we still went out almost every evening for a sundowner dinner. All in all, we can highly recommend Aana Resort – it was truly a wonderful vacation there.

The staff is extremely helpful and polite. The breakfast spread is not expansive but it’s delicious. They have a short ferry ride to the beach from the hotel or you can just walk it down it takes roughly 10 mins of you’re walking. The in house restaurant has a nice vibe at night and they stir up pretty awesome cocktails. ||We were in the room with the plunge pool with a view of the mountains. Overall definitely an awesome place to stay in.

We were really looking forward to a relaxing stay at Aana Villas and Spa, but unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations.The biggest issue was the noise. The walls are incredibly thin – we could hear every step and sneeze from the room above. It was impossible to get a decent night’s sleep. On top of that, smoke from other rooms drifted into ours, which was unpleasant and frustrating.There was also a leak in the bathroom ceiling, dripping directly onto the toilet paper, and ants were all over the bedroom. Not what you expect at this price point or from a hotel that presents itself as a high-end resort.Of the two swimming pools, one looked quite murky and did not appear clean. There was no bar service at either pool, which made it feel a bit lifeless.The boat service to the beach was great, and the food we ordered from the restaurant was genuinely good – probably the highlight. Breakfast was fine given the off-peak room rate, but would have been disappointing if we had paid full price.What left a particularly sour taste was the lack of response when we checked out early and explained the issues. I mentioned we had not been able to sleep due to the noise, but the receptionist said nothing – no apology, no acknowledgment.One thing to note: during low season, not much is open in the surrounding area. We had to head to Lonely Beach or White Sand Beach for restaurants, massage shops, and any sort of evening atmosphere. The hotel did help us call a songteow, which was appreciated, as they were hard to flag down on the main road during this time. That said, I would not choose this location again for that reason – it felt too isolated without much to do nearby.Overall, it felt more like a basic guesthouse experience than a restful villa spa retreat. It looks pretty but under the surface, a low quality offering. A shame, as the location and restaurant have potential.

Amazing place!👍 Aana hotel is a fantastic place where you like to relax and admire the beauty of river. The rooms are big, clean and nice. The bathroom is ok as well. Just the beds are pretty soft. Our terrace had wonderful view over the river and in front hotel which looked more like an ancient building then hotel. Great!👍 You have choise of 2 big swimming pools. The breakfast is super with the best view I've ever seen from breakfast part. Comfortable seats and good selection. This hotel offers free transfer to the beach by boat. Just to call and the boat comes. On the beach are plenty loungers from this hotel to use. The only negative on this hotel is that the Klon Prao Beach is a real tourist part without a good local restaurants. Most of them are overpriced tourist traps. But the restaurant in the hotel offers nice selection and great quality. Don't miss the possibility to go for free by boat between 19-20 hour to find fire flies. It was so cute😙 Next time on Koh Chang we will definitely come again. The hotel is great!

I stayed here on the 5th of November and everything was perfect! It was everything I hoped for in a hotel. The view was stunning from my room. The thing I loved the most on this trip was that even though I only stayed a few days the staff was so accommodating! The young lady at the thai dessert section remembered from the day before that I had a specific thai dessert and the next day she kept one aside for me already. Their attention to detail is top tier.

Aana Resort has a beautiful atmosphere and a great location by the river. The price is very good for what you get, and the surroundings really have a special vibe — that’s definitely the biggest advantage of this place. However, our experience with the front desk was quite disappointing. The staff didn’t seem very helpful; whenever we had questions, the answers were usually just “I don’t know” or simply “no,” without any effort to offer alternatives. For example, there were no scooters available, and we received zero suggestions on where we could rent one. When we asked about laundry and whether an earlier pickup would be possible due to our travel schedule, we were told it wasn’t an option — yet we easily found a local laundry ourselves that had no problem doing it. Getting a morning coffee without purchasing breakfast was also surprisingly difficult. Some mornings there was coffee, but other days there wasn’t, depending on whether someone felt like turning on the machine. The biggest issue was finding mold on the wall in our room. It was removed quickly, but it still left a bad impression. Overall, we often felt like we weren’t really welcome here. Three stars because the place is beautiful, atmospheric, and very reasonably priced — but the service and room quality need improvement.

Staff all areas SUPERB. Food EXCELLANT. Breakfast AMAZING spread and no shortages. Facilities varied and wide choices, even a free boat ride to nice clean private beach with plenty of little vendors available even massage! Nice rooms and views but some maintenance required to pool and some areas! Loved our stay.

A Hidden Gem of Serene Luxury My 3-day solo retreat at Aana Resort & Spa was absolute perfection. This is the place to stay in Koh Chang if you want to escape the crowds and experience true tranquility and luxury. The highlight was the incredible "เรือมาศ" (Ruea Mâat) sunset dinner. Sailing out on the traditional boat for a private meal as the sun set was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The resort's private beach is a quiet, pristine cove, and the free shuttle made it easy to enjoy. The food at the restaurant was also outstanding, with authentic Eastern Thai cuisine that was a delicious adventure. For a wellness-focused getaway that combines nature, culture, and 5-star comfort, Aana Resort is unmatched. Highly recommended for a peaceful and luxurious escape.
