Hotels near Ao Phrao in Rayong

We stayed for 4 nights here. The location was pretty good and we were right on a beach, which made it nice for swimming. They do have a great pool too. It wasn't overly busy when we were there. But there were large groups coming and going, but they weren't that noisy. The breakfast is basic, but you do get to sit out and have a fantastic view looking out over the bay. The only problem I really had with our stay was the tap water, there was a slight discoloration. I didn't drink from the tap anyways and also had bottled water. It is relatively private too. Our room was spacious enough and we could sit outside on the balcony. For me it was relaxing and in a good location. The staff were very friendly and happy to help.

The hotel has mini villa type rooms, each with a good-sized balcony to enjoy the beautiful foliage planted all around. The rooms are large, airy, sp****, and super clean. Bathroom size is good too, and all amenities are provided. The bed is one of the softest ones I've ever slept on. Absolutely loved it! Check-in and check-out was smooth, the staff is warm. There's a shortcut which takes you to the main Sai Kaew Beach in a minute's walk. It is also easily walkable (15 mins) from the main ferry pier (Nuan Thip). The hotel did not have a restaurant yet (which we knew before booking), but I did see some construction going on, so they could be adding one in the future, But there's plenty of restaurants on the beach, so no worries there. We had an immensely satisfactory and comfortable stay. Would recommend to all travelers.

Awesome hotel. Fire show every night. Only bad thing was mattress in the room was terrible and uncomfortable

First, I chose Koh Samet because I asked a local Thailand friend which island has not been overdeveloped since my early days coming to Thailand in the 1990s. His response was ”head to Koh Samet”. I looked for a value hotel on one of the more southern, less developed beaches which led me to Wong Duean Bay and the Vongdeuan Resort. The pool was a big draw. With the low tide being pretty extreme, it is really nice to have the salt water pool to cool off in and swim laps. The food seemed pretty authentic to me. With mainly Thai visitors coming in on the weekends it figures the food would be good at the Vongdeuan Resort. :) The staff were wonderful and always so fun to share a story or two with. The beach area all along the bay was extremely clean with no plastic on the beach or garbage in the water. This is a big plus when going to the shore in SE Asian countries. There are several beach restaurants but none of them had loud music, at least during the weekdays when I was there. It is definitely a sleepy and peaceful place to enjoy the water at high tide as well as the white sand beach for walks.

Easy access to pier and good food in island , nice beach 🏖 & nightlife and rooms are huge 🙏. Definitely enjoyed my short stay..if you want to have easy access to sunset and lazy to walk to far this is the place to stay without breaking your savings 😂🇹🇭🙏

Friendly, cute, quiet, clean, suitable for children, family and friends. Good variety of breakfast, delicious in the evening. Sit and enjoy the sea breeze Good service staff Willing to provide information Pool area room, beautiful atmosphere The pool is a bit small, the area is shady, beautiful. Can find a photo corner, quiet, not busy, modern rooms, clean but a little small, reasonable price, room styles are available.

Comfortable location. Almost in the center of the island. Like in the distance from the noisy shopping center, but in step-to-step availability. Like not on the beach, but it is near the road. The rooms and the hotel itself have all the rest (including free shoes, carpets and beach towels). The room has free water, bonus is sneaking and juice in boxes (updated daily when cleaning). Hosts' responsive attitude to the hosts. Breakfasts may seem uniform, but hot for order and several kinds of it. Plus having a coffee machine for breakfast is a rare thing for the Yuva hotels of recent time. There is a small shop at the hotel. The truth works until 7 p.m. and the prices are slightly higher than in ”7/11,” but it is very convenient that under the hand, in the conditions of the island.

Spent 5 days with my son for a holiday break. This is an ideal place for people looking for a quiet and relaxing resort. The rooms (bungalows) have been repainted and are very comfortable with aircon, wi fi, and a large bathroom with shower, Two swimming pools available including a kiddies section. Nice mix of foreigners and Thai guests. The quality and price ratio is excellent and we now avoid branded hotels that have higher expenses. We like comfort and the sea and can do without the extras. The beach was beautiful and the sea clear. Perhaps this is the best period to visit. Many activities around the hotel such as snorkelling and diving. I would return since this is the kind of place we love. English could be a problem for folks not living in Thailand but the staff do their best to help you.

I booked this hotel online while I was in Bangkok. My parents and I had the best time at this resort. The rooms are very clean and spacious. There is a lot of beautiful green and lush vegetation around the resort. My parents who are elderly had a difficult time staying on the second floor of this resort. And the couple that owns the resort were so nice that they gave us a large room on the mail floor. The owners were a wealth of information and they helped us rent a taxi and gave us all the information for visiting the island which is nearby. The beach is literally across the road from this resort. My parents and I would have breakfast and the resort and then go cross the road and took us sixty seconds to go the beach! The resort is quiet but very safe. There are a lot of families around and people are out at night. And the few restaurants that are near the resort are very busy. It was the most quiet and peaceful stay I have ever had at a resort (and I have travelled extensively). One night I became sick and had an allergic reaction and the owner of the resort drove me to the hospital. You cannot meet nicer people then the couple who own this resort. They are the kindest and most nicest people I ever met. I was fine though after the hospital and the owner stayed with my parents and I till it was time to drive us home. I will never forget the owners and this resort!!! I am hoping to visit Rayong next year again and I am going to stay at the Mukmai Villa. The owners made my parents and I stay such a pleasant and beautiful experience. Please do not hesitate to stay here. The owners will take good care of you!!!

Stayed at Avatara Resort Hotel from 8 to 10 December 2021. We booked a Triple Room, which was very spacious, clean and comfortable beds. Layout of the bathroom was awesome with full view of the jungle. Location is not bad just a walking distance to the Sai Kaew beach which was lively and vibrant at night, with many restaurants nearby. Unfortunately this multistory building has no lift or escalators and a long walk from the lobby and beach. Our room was on the 5th floor and climbing up those many stairs is a big problem especially for those with disabilities or older age. Path and corridors along the building are poorly lit. Breakfast by the beach is very popular with guests but service is poor. On our second day, my son found out that the fresh cold milk he had with cornflakes has gone bad. Brought to the attention of the staff who was quite reluctant and no apologies, Restaurant staff should have pay more attention to the quality of food served. Poor and unfriendly staff; no smile, no greetings and treated guests as if we are a liability to them. The staff was busy playing with their mobile phones and chatting with their colleagues rather than paying attention to the hotel guests. We need to approach them every time we needed to order and foods service are poor. Serviette and tissue paper are not provided with the food, have to asked for them.
