The upper-mid-range Pakasai is one of Ao Nang's greenest properties and is set around lush gardens full of plants, flowers, fish ponds, and benches as well as an organic garden. Rooms here feature contemporary Thai furnishings and come with flat-screen TVs with satellite channels. The nicest rooms are the spacious Adora Rooms in the newer Executive Wing, which come with terraces featuring outdoor bathtubs. With a lovely rooftop infinity-edge pool, it's a great spot to escape busy Ao Nang, and while the resort is hidden up a side street, it is still within short walking distance of the town center. However, it's not on the beach and the nearest stretch of coast is rocky and not good for swimming.

Although the mid-range Aonang Villa Resort is the oldest resort in town, it's still one of the most popular choices. Straddling the beach and central Ao Nang, the resort is in a prime location and is a short walk to eating, drinking, and nightlife options. Rooms are nothing fancy, but they are some of the most spacious you'll find in Ao Nang. The resort also has two large swimming pools, a modern fitness center, and a kids' club with a playground along with a couple of excellent restaurants and bars.

One of the larger properties in Ao Nang, the Aonang Cliff Beach Resort is located right off the main road and offers some of the best views in town. Built into a hillside up above the street, it feels private, yet fine dining and shopping are a short walk away and the beach is only five minutes down the street. The rooms here are spacious and all have open-air terraces or patios along with rainfall showers, and some even have panoramic ocean views. The resort has a sun-drenched natural saltwater pool with plenty of lounge chairs, a seafood grill restaurant, and a large shopping plaza downstairs.

The Phra Nang Inn is a medium-size, two-and-a-half pearl hotel that sits along some of the nicest stretch of beach in Ao Nang. The property, including its rooms, is somewhat worn and weathered, but the inn is within a few feet of the beach, and has a happening little beach bar. Some of the rooms look out on the glorious sunsets and islands in the bay. The inn is also near the best dining, drinking, and shopping in Ao Nang, and while its entrance is on the main road, most of the property fronts the pedestrian thoroughfare along the beach. Though the Phra Nang Inn has a prime location, it has fewer amenities than some of its nearby competitors, but its room rates are the same, or higher.

The Ao Nang Princeville isn't the fanciest spot in town, but its location in the heart of Ao Nang and right across from the beach is excellent. The rooms, while a bit dated, are spacious, quiet, and have large bathrooms. There is a small swimming pool and only one small restaurant, where a free breakfast is served. The hotel is halal, and thus there is no bar, making it less than ideal for those wanting to do a lot of drinking and partying.

The upper-mid-range Deevana Plaza Krabi is a large hotel that attracts business travelers with its conference facilities and leisure travelers thanks to its long pool that's directly accessible from many of the rooms. All rooms have patios or balconies as well as free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and picnic baskets that guests can use to transport food and gear to the beach. There are also a couple of bars -- one of which is poolside -- and a restaurant serving a breakfast buffet in the morning and a la carte selections at lunch and dinner. It's also one of the few hotels in Ao Nang with conference facilities and Wi-Fi is free throughout. However, it's not on the beach and the nearest stretch of coast is rocky and not good for swimming. Those wanting direct beach access should look elsewhere, like the Aonang Villa Resort.

The 206-room Ibis Styles Krabi Ao Nang is a mid-range property with views of Krabi's limestone karsts. Restaurants, bars, and shops are just outside the hotel's front door, and the beach is a 15-minute walk or five-minute drive. Rooms are compact, but they're contemporary and feature flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges. Some have beautiful views of the cliffs from balconies -- the same views capitalized upon at the outdoor pool. There's also a kids' pool and a playground. The restaurant serves all meals, including a free breakfast, and drinks and tapas are offered at the bar in the lobby. As an alternative, the Aonang Paradise Resort -- with a fitness center and massage services -- is a bit more expensive, but is closer to the beach.

The Centara Grand Beach Resort sits alone on a private bay in the Andaman Sea, surrounded by limestone karst mountains. The rooms and villas here are huge, and all come with large balconies and open-plan bathrooms with soaking tubs and rainshowers. The luxury resort has four restaurants to choose from, along with a spa, a fitness center, a fun kids' club, several swimming pools, and even a library. However, the only way to town other than by boat involves a steep path over the mountain, and some guests might feel isolated here. However, with such great facilities, a long white sand beach, water activities, and spectacular views, those wanting to literally get away from it all will find little need to go anywhere else.
