AANA Resort & Villas Koh Chang

The staff is very kind and always try to be helpful. Also the breakfast buffet has a wide variety and it changes from day to day.

The staff on reception were really helpful and friendly. Both pools were lovely and the free shuttle to the beach was really handy. Also the sunbeds on the beach for Aana guests were so useful. The beds were really comfortable. The location (especially if you hire a moped) is perfect for exploring the best bits of the island

Most negative reviews here were most likely submitted by nitpickers: “it’s too remote”, “it needs renovation”, “bars at pool are unmanned”, “staff doesn’t speak English”, “breakfast sucks”, etc. Let me shine some light on those comments. First of all, we were dropped of at the reception which looked quite impressive (like a huge tipi). All girls spoke English, albeit one better than the other. After checking in, renting 2 scooters (rental company ppl speak English too) took an extra 5 minutes and we were dropped of at our apartment. We stayed in room 346, one of the poolview villas. We thought the room was lovely: much light, nice bed with a soft matras, tv was fine, the whole apartment is tastefully decorated and also has a big terras outside. Aana resort is definitely not new, but it is clean and neat. Optically the woodwork (everywhere) seems a bit worn, but that doesn’t have any influence on the overall experience. Breakfast. 2 very friendly (English speaking) cooks, 1 fairly big guy and a girl, will prepare eggs for you, just the way you like them. Besides that, there’s Thai food, sausages, bread, and other western options available. The bars at the pool are unmanned. I didn’t ask why, but if (in 4 days) never seen more than 4 people in and around the pool at the same moment. Seems ridiculous to open a bar for a handful of people. Aana Resort is only 800 meters away from an area with many restaurants, street food & fruits, coffee bars, etc. It’s NOT remote. I would definitely recommend Aana!

I really don’t understand some of the reviews here. The resort is absolutely beautiful, with perfect pools, lovely clean rooms, and a perfectly fine breakfast. Definitely worth the price! We stayed for a few days at The Chill, and yes, it’s true that the service level there is on another level—but so is the price per night! If Aana Resort had a functioning spa and a poolside bar, the accommodation would be flawless. We really enjoyed our stay, and on the contrary, we appreciated the absolute peace and quiet in the middle of lush greenery. ❤️

We’ve been staying at the Aana since 2012 this was our first visit back in 5 years, still love the hotel but the location has slightly changed and is more built up than it used to be not sure if the beach was owned by the Aana and they’ve sold the land for other hotels to build there as between the Aana and Klong Prato there are 3 small hotels having been built which makes the beach busier and nosier as the bridge that the Aana built has more traffic for people to access these hotels. We absolutely love the location of the hotel hence why we’ve returned but not sure if Koh Chang I’d for us anymore, the hotel we went to on Koh Mak offered more in the way of breakfast and free kayak
