Ao Nam Mao

Lovely Hotel with only 7 apartments. Staff are exceptionally friendly and food excellent.

If you like a apartnent pool out in nowhere with no staff, prison food and lots og bugs/insects, which is priced much higher then much finer hotels in this area, then this should be your choice. We are a family of 4. Prepaid for this "luxury villa" in advance for 5 nights. We had to pack our staff and find a new hotel after the first night. One of the worst places Ive been to compared ro the price range. Its a newly started hotel (jan 2026). It basically has no maintance or staff it seemed. No handsoap in wc. Construction work noise. You wake up 7 in the morning by screeming muay thai people which were the neighbours. The kitchen has no walls to outside so basically every insect is welcome to share your food. No aircondition in bathrooms so its badly humid/hot. No pool cleaning so you swim with bugs. It wasnt clean either. I stepped on a gum in bedroom. The luxury breakfast was as luxury as a prison meal. Nothing to choose from. We got small glass og orange juice and milk for each of us. With 1 humid bread/crossaint and egg and sausage. A small sample of butter og jam which they probably got free somwhere, was also included. There was no place to get food or drink, no breakfast hall, no civilization nearby, basically no staff..just one person at reception which was unmanned after 22. We checked out after the first night and they didnt even bother to offer refund for rest 4 days paid. Stay away unless you like noise, insects and overpriced rooms.

This was an exceptional property and experiance overall. The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating even when we showed up a couple hours before check-in. The rooms with the infinity pool view of the sea and mountains felt like they were out of a movie scene.
