Hotels near Ao Khai, Klaeng

The island where the peacocks roam has clear water. We went kayaking and picked up trash in exchange for a smoothie. Then, we fed the peacocks up close and they even followed us all the way to our room!

The beachfront accommodation is beautiful. The staff are all lovely and provide excellent service. The food is delicious and the price is reasonable. There's both a cafe and a restaurant, so you don't even need to leave the property. Very convenient and relaxing.

The hotel is small, pleasant, cozy, and a bit minimalist. Of course, you absolutely need a car to get to this hotel – there's nothing within walking distance around it. However, everything else at the hotel makes up for it. The architecture is interesting – a mix of castle-like and Thai styles. The sea is gorgeous, right next to the hotel, and during high tide, it's right by the hotel cafe. The entry is gentle, and the water is clean. Sometimes rubbish washes ashore, but an old man with a broom cleans it up every morning. The pool is good, and while there aren't many sun loungers, there were always some available. Most of the tourists are from Asia and don't sunbathe much. The breakfasts are very, very good. I especially liked the restaurant itself – it felt more like a proper restaurant than a typical breakfast cafe. The table settings were nice, and everything was cleared away quickly. However, the rooms... If the hotel is a castle, the rooms are like monastic cells. They're not necessarily small, but they're decorated in dark tones, which feels a bit unwelcoming. There's a small, 'castle-style' window. The bathroom is tiny – you hit your elbows while drying off, and there's even a wardrobe in the bathroom! Even if you book a room with a balcony or pool access, the balcony is recessed into the room, making the room itself feel even smaller. And the bed linen is cheap and thin. It seemed clean, but it looked old. The cleaning was good, though. But the room didn't spoil our vacation at all. If we're ever in Rayong, we'll definitely stop by for a couple of nights!

Ideal location overlooking the beautiful beach, and most rooms overlook the Large swimming pool ours included. Rooms are spacious with large balcony. Can’t fault anything really other than the bar staff always seemed a bit miserable and never seem to smile or interact with customers. We didn’t try the breakfast so no idea if any good. It finished at 10am and we don’t like to feel rushed getting up for breakfast, rather have coffee in room then take a leisurely breakfast at one of the local cafes or restaurants close by! It was also nice having a little fridge in the room for milk and cold drinks. I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

The ocean view here is absolutely beautiful and peaceful, making me feel relaxed from the very first moment I arrived. The staff at Novotel Rayong Rim Pae Resort were extremely helpful and attentive. i initially requested to change the room there was a noise issue at night from the water system. Once I informed the staff, they responded immediately and upgraded my room to a Deluxe Sea View.I was very impressed with how quickly and professionally they handled the situation—it really made my stay much more enjoyable.

Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5) We recently stayed here for a short family trip. While the hotel has some fantastic features for families, there were a few significant hiccups during our stay. The Highlights • Enormous Space: The grounds are undeniably huge. There is plenty of room for children to run around and burn off energy, which we really appreciated. • Breakfast: The spread lives up to the Marriott standard with a wide variety of choices. We opted to eat at the hotel for convenience so we could jump straight into the pool afterward. • Family Friendly: It feels like a solid family hotel with a massive main pool area and a dedicated Kids Club. The Drawbacks • Kids Club Fees: Be aware that most activities at the Kids Club come with an extra charge, so they aren't ”free” perks of the stay. • Maintenance & Weather: During a heavy rainstorm, the electricity cut off, and we noticed water dripping inside the building. The property is starting to show its age in these moments. ⚠️ Safety Warning for Parents If you are traveling with small children, please be extremely careful at the pool next to the Kids Club. While wading with my baby, I stepped on a broken tile or sharp grout at the foot of the pool which resulted in a large, deep cut on my toe. It was a painful injury that fortunately didn't require stitches, but it is a major safety concern for anyone with little ones. Summary: A good choice for a family getaway due to the size and facilities, but the hotel needs to urgently address pool maintenance and room leaks.

It takes no more than 15 minutes by speedboat from the mainland to reach this private island. The accommodation is generally better than the average for small island resorts like this. The beds and towels were clean, unlike many places where they're old and yellowed. I stayed one night in a dome house and one night in a bungalow. The dome house was unique and newer, which was nice, but it got incredibly hot and unbearable when there was no electricity. The bungalow, however, had a cool sea breeze blowing through it constantly. The beach on the west side had some trash, so I'd recommend swimming on the east side. The lady who manages the island is super kind and friendly. Overall, I was impressed. It's perfect for a truly relaxing getaway.

The hotel is dated and does need updated. But if you’re realistic with what you can expect from a $80/night and a clean, peaceful quiet private beach, this hotel is a very good one. They are definitely short of staff for the high season. But they try very hard to make things comfortable for you. They fixed the fridge door and bought back in an hour. The front desk staff helped carrying bags and deliver yo your door. They all did extra works. Breakfast is sufficient and up to standard. Thai selections are quite tasty though. Lunch and dinner menus have considerable variety of Thai (more) and Western (less). Simple restaurants close by but if you have cravings for fancier Western food, it’s 40 minutes away. A good location if you have a car.

The atmosphere is wonderful. It's right on the beach, private, and very peaceful. The staff are lovely. Good facilities are provided, including a hairdryer. The restaurant overlooks the sea with a pleasant, cool breeze. Excellent value for money.
