The Cliff Elegance Resort Ao Nang

$ | 85/2 Liab Chai Haad Rd., Ao Nang, 81000, Thailand

You'll get a great view of the cliff that inspired the hotel's name as soon as you step into the lobby, but then your attention will quickly shift to burned bricks, charred wooden tiles, and natural wooden beams. The Cliff's villas are set around a nonchlorinated ozone-treated swimming pool by the lobby. The rooms, each with an outdoor shower, feature glass bay doors on two sides. The suite is on stilts above a small private fishpond and is particularly popular with honeymooners.

Pros

  • Atmospheric design
  • Stunning location
  • Good Wi-Fi connection

Cons

  • Could use some updating
  • Not on beach
  • Some rooms are stuffy
