Aonang Viva Resort - SHA Plus

Really nice location, our room was very comfortable and we had a nice view for swimming pool, the staff is really friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious! In the room were prepared for us to use: flip flops, umbrella, shopping bag and swimming pool towels. We had an early morning flight before breakfast and they packed breakfast for us to take away, that was really lovely!

Location n surrounding..

Requested to have my annual anniversary stay to be a memorable one fr my wife n myself BUT all my requests fr special arrangements was not entertained totally by the hotel management..

I really enjoyed everything about the property. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the swimming pool and overall atmosphere were excellent. The location was also convenient.

Nothing in particular. Everything was good and I had a very pleasant stay.

The room itself was a great size, huge bed which was very comfortable. The breakfast was a good range and fresh. Staff here were attentive and polite. We loved the refreshing welcome drink. We loved the beach bag and towels provided but did not use the flip flops. A/C worked well and plenty of space to store our luggage. The location was good, near plenty of restaurants and a few 7/11's. The walk to the beach is not too far and there are loads of places to get your souvenirs. The pool though a little small was a great addition. Be careful to ensure you book a room that is in the main hotel and not across the road. We made sure we did, however, some guests didn't check and we witnessed the poor reception staff be verbally abused by rude guests upon arrival. The staff remained so professional but we felt very bad for them!

The room seemed dated, in particular the bathroom. For the price we paid I expected better. The mirror was cracked and rusting. The shower seemed grubby. Overall, it needs some TLC. If you wanted a drink, or snacks it was quite pricey though I suppose this should be expected. The pool area was quite smaller than we're used to, often monopolized by the same group of people who were reserving all the beds from 6-7 in the morning and weren't even using them all day! They were a very rude group of Dutch tourists which did ruin it a little for us, especially when they would leave piles of rubbish by the pool which attracted ants. Be prepared to be hassled when leaving the hotel. Men will constantly hound you to try and get you in their shops. If you want Thai food you'll have walk further away from where the hotel is to reach anywhere which resembles where the locals are. This area did not feel like Thailand to us, more of a trip to Benidorm
