Very nice resort on the beach

AAVA is well done. The rooms are really little villas with many situated around the beautiful pool. They are small but well appointed with a comfortable window seat, waterfall shower and the usual robes, hot water kettle and fridge. The pool leads right to the beach. The pictures are an accurate depiction of the site with many different lounges on the beach to include the daybeds and beanbags. The beach was well kept and the sand was soft. The restaurant was good amd varied and service was very pleasant. They had two for one happy hour twice a day. The complaints about the renovation next door were unfounded. At most, we heard some hammering but never even saw any workers.

Beach is not everything

The Hotel Resort is run down and needs a refurbishment even though we were told the Hotel is just 5 years old. The room (Superior Room with Balcony and Garden View) was small. The bed very small, too. The door as well as the Balcony door had gaps and holes by what insects can enter easely. The BBQ buffet was just a joke! The Hotel is certainly overpriced and far away of everything - unless you got a car!The only nice recall is the beach!

Nice hotel on the wonderful Khanom Beach

Smartly designed hotel on relatively narrow piece of land (which can lead to overcrowding of bar and beach area) but in need of some refurbishment. Excellent location in the middle of superb Khanom beach.

Outstanding

While Khanom may not be on the radar of most tourists traveling to Thailand, this is a perfect place to escape the noise and tourist attractions commonly found in neighboring areas. Aava provides tours that are not "touristy" and their rooms and facilities are well worth the cost. Also, their staff is very accommodating, I had an issue with transport to the resort and my emails and concerns were addressed immediately. While it is a little more pricey than options in the similar area, their staff (all english speaking) was gracious and did everything possible to make my 5 day trip there the best it could be. And it has a beautiful beach!

Good value for money but need renovation. Amazing food in the restaurant. Good spa except the pedicure and manicure (no colors to choose from, old laque and not very nicely done). Really good yoga teacher - got private lessons since no one else signed up week. The beach is amazing and was almost alone by the pool everyday. Great place to relax but they need to renovate rooms, sun lounges, change beach towels etc to give a better overall impression. Got a free transfer from the airport which was great!

Nice two day retreat.

We had two relaxing days at Aava. The quality of the spa is good and we enjoyed a massage each day. Breakfast was included in the room cost and there was an excellent selection of foods, served at our table. Our room and bathroom were clean and the beds comfortable. Amenities such as bathrobes and sun parasols were in the room. There were a few things that we felt did not meet the 5 star advertising. The beach was not cleaned as well as necessary. Unfortunately the surf tosses up debris at every high tide and the beach area should be checked and cleaned more often. We had a very nice little bungalow however we could not leave the front door or balcony doors open because there are no screens at all. It would have been really nice to be able to get fresh tropical air in the room in the evening. There was a window seat (day bed) in our room but I was hesitant to use it because it was covered with a velour type cover that was worn and did not look well cleaned. There are also large fluffy cushions but these are not really appropriate for a tropical climate either. Washable cotton covers on the cushions and day bed would have been better choices. The bathroom sink would not drain properly (This was also noted in a earlier review) and although the sink was stylish it was impractical to use as it was only about 2 inches deep. The staff are friendly and attentive but need training and support to meet the expectations of the European clientele that the hotel caters to.

What a jewel of a property

This is one of the finest resort hotels we have stayed in.My wife and I travel twice a year all over Thailand and this is right up there with the best.This area of Thailand is untouched by commercialization so be prepared for a hotel stay only not much to do outside the premises. If you are a hotel connoisseur love staying and eating in the one place then this is worth considering great rooms,fantastic restaurant and very gracious staff this is the place.

Hieno skandihotelli syrjäisessä paikassa. Vaikka sijainti on syrjäinen, niin hotelli kuljettaa mihin vain haluat mennä. Vaaleanpunaisia delfiinejä näkyi myös aamupalalla ja iltapäivällä rantatuoleissa. Virkistävä huomata hotelli, jossa suurinosa on suomalaisia ja ruotsalaisia, että ainuttakaan aurinkotuolia ei varata. Myös tänne oli saapuneet kännykät, jota varsinkin yksi tarjoilija tuijotti katse alaspainantuneena. Olisin tilannut lisää, mutta tarjoilijaan ei saa yhteyttä. Muille tarjoilijoille iso kiitos🙏
