Aana Resort & Spa Koh Chang

If you’re looking for an affordable, peaceful retreat close to nature and far from the noise of traffic, this is it. Sure, it’s not the most luxurious place, and it could use a little sprucing up, but it has plenty of charm. Just walking to the massive resort feels like an experience in itself, with plenty of stunning spots for photos. We stayed in two types of accommodation and absolutely loved the Grand View Villa with Plunge Pool. The room was spacious, and the view was breathtaking. The upper pool was another highlight, clean, with the perfect water temperature for a relaxing swim. The restaurant’s trat menu was a pleasant surprise, especially the mangrove-stuffed leaves, delicious! And taking the boat service to the beach added a fun, scenic touch to our stay. A big thank you to the front desk staff for going the extra mile to accommodate our special request for transportation to a nearby hotel, it truly made a difference. Overall, this is a great option to consider in Koh Chang. It offers excellent value for money, and I’d definitely recommend it!

Stayed for 2 nights — overall a great experience. The room was spacious and comfortable, with good facilities including a boat service to the café and beach bar, plus a lovely evening firefly tour. One downside was the lack of signage to the breakfast area, which made it a bit hard to find & the reception team could be a bit more welcoming, but the housekeeping staff, breakfast team, and boat drivers were all very friendly and helpful.

Massive disappointment in my entire life. First of all - bedroom side - had many issues with our stay : no one answering the phone, daily cleaning of the room not before 4 pm. Big window that gave access to terrace was completely broken so the bedroom so totally wild open and accessible to everyone . We called, warned them, told them we will go to the beach so they can fix it but at our biggest surprise nothing done on our return to the room. Ok we didn’t want to ask compensation or anything, but they ve done it without asking so good Now we checking out, giving back the scooter to the rental of the hotel, the guy looks at me and is like : “sit down, you won’t have your ID back” I am like : wtf, first of all, where is courtesy? He tells me that apparently my sister and I had a massive accident (that I wasn’t aware lol) and scratch the ENTIRE scooter. So I went to see , and with my biggest surprise I was chocked because those scratch were MASSIVE and that meant that I would have experience a huge accident . But trust me first of all I came to Koh Chang to enjoy beach and train Muay Thai! I was so surprised also because I never been out at night, I don’t drink , and I m super careful! He is now telling me to leave the hotel and that I won’t get my ID back . He is being super super super rude to us, and honestly we were the kindest during the entire trip, always talking to him, trying to maybe book activities with him. I am so disappointed knowing that I also work in the hospitality industry , and that I ve always been honest and kind with people . And this really made me sad and angry at the same time to see someone very disrespectful and just laughing at my face . Little update as per today 27/04 more than a week I have checked out and my last conversation with the “resort manager” was his promise to come back to me by email after 3/4days with an update on the security footage to explain the incident. I have no news from anyone at the resort, conclusion the staff has kept my ID with them. And the last words face to face was a big laugh at my sister and me and a “aha see you next year” Be very careful in wanting to rent a scooter there ! Do take pictures before and after the rental to avoid any incidents like I had ! End of story they will keep my ID and I will never receive any updates from them! Thank you Aana resort for your lack of hospitality service

Aana Resort and Spa has a lot of potential, but it falls short in several areas. The location is great as it is tucked away from the busier parts of the island, making it a peaceful place to relax. Occasionally, some loud drunk Russians gathered by the pool, but once they left, the atmosphere was quiet, with just the sounds of birds and nature. The resort offers a free boat ride to a nearby beach where they provide sunbeds, which is a nice touch. There’s also an affordable laundry service at 60 baht per kilo and kayak rentals for 200 baht per hour. While the setting is beautiful, the resort itself is rundown and in desperate need of renovation. Many of the facilities advertised simply don’t exist or have been abandoned. The spa is permanently closed, the gym is unusable, and the poolside bars are derelict. The whole place feels neglected, and the online photos don’t reflect the reality of what you get. That being said, the room was surprisingly good—clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. I slept well every night, though hot water was inconsistent depending on the time of day. The breakfast had both Western and Eastern options, though I personally didn’t enjoy it. There are two pools, but they have very few sunbeds, so finding a spot to relax can be tricky. This definitely isn’t a place I’d recommend for families with kids, as there are plenty of opportunities to get splinters on the weathered wood or even cuts from exposed nails. Overall, it was an okay stay. The location and comfort of the room were the best aspects, but the resort is far from what it claims to be. If you go in with low expectations and just want a quiet place to stay, it might be fine. But if you’re expecting a proper resort experience with the facilities advertised, you’ll likely be disappointed. Photos reflect both sides of the resort, both beautiful and not so beautiful.

The place is beautiful but some of the locations are in poor condition, the water in the pool is green, to be honest I would not dare to swim in it, and something that made things uncomfortable was they're expecting tips for any unasked (and unwanted) movement they do, just put a tip box this is Thailand. Just meh... Probably trying another hotel next time, for the same price you can get something with buffet breakfast included.

My wife and I decided to do a trip to Koh Chang and Koh Kood for Valentine’s Day. On our first day (and last) we stayed at the Aana Resort and Spa. We spent the first night in a Deluxe King room with a balcony that overlooked the pool. It was a pretty nice room with a comfortable bed and clean. My only complaint would be the shower as it was a bathtub you had to climb into. Not really safe for the older crowd. Our last night was in a bungalow with an infinity pool. This was a much lager room with separate seating area for the TV. Nice larger bathroom and walk-in shower. Balcony overlooking the inlet water. The resort has a nice restaurant area with nice outside seating. They also have a boat ramp where you can take a boat shuttle to a small beach island a very short ride from the resort. They also have canoes rentals. One thing we loved was the exclusive dinner gondolas. We thoroughly enjoyed that. They also offer a firefly tour and a tour of the mangrove trees. I would definitely stay here again.

Great resort to spend a relaxing time on Koh Chang! The rooms are great and the pool is refreshing during hot days. Highly recommend to get the free boat ride to the beach bar and spend the evenings there.

I had a really disappointing experience with this hotel. I mistakenly booked for the wrong date (25th) through Agoda, and when I contacted the hotel to change the date, I was told all rooms were full — which I understood. But what shocked me was the lack of any help or flexibility from the hotel. Even though I already paid in full, they refused to offer any refund, date change, or even credit for a future stay. The staff were not helpful at all — very cold and dismissive. Instead of trying to understand or assist, they just kept repeating, “No refund. Can’t do anything.
