Really good Beach Dining

I absolutely loved dining at the oceanfront restaurant of Ao Cho Grandview Hideaway Resort. The setting was picturesque with tables on the beach, under fairy lights, creating a magical atmosphere. The food, especially the massaman and Penang curries, was the best I've tasted on the island. It's a must-try for anyone visiting. Enjoying meals with my feet in the sand was an lovely experience!

Comfortable Accommodation

I stayed in a family room (F1) and was genuinely impressed. The room was spacious with three comfortable beds - a double and two single beds. It was well-cleaned, and the housekeeping did a fantastic job keeping everything tidy during my stay. I felt right at home in such a comfortable setup, perfect for a family vacation!

Relaxing Sleep Environment

The bedroom was a highlight of my stay. With so much space and comfortable bedding, I found it easy to relax and get a good night's sleep. The cleanliness was also great, which added to the overall comfort. Waking up every day feeling refreshed made my trip that much more enjoyable.

Tranquil Beach Relaxation

One of my favorite experiences at the resort was lounging by the beautiful, soft-sand beach. Each morning, it was blissful to walk outside and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. I particularly appreciated how clean the beach was, and I even swam with a mask to observe the gorgeous fish nearby. It truly felt like a little slice of paradise.

The resort is set in a stunning location right by a secluded beach, making for a peaceful getaway. The accommodations are decent, though very basic amenities can be inconvenient. Service was lacking at times, especially during busy hours, and the breakfast really needs improvement. However, I enjoyed my stay overall because of the beautiful beach and the quiet atmosphere.

The resort has beautiful new beach suites in a quiet bay, making it perfect for relaxation. However, we encountered unpleasant odors and poor dining experiences, particularly at breakfast. Service was hit-or-miss, with some staff members lacking motivation. Even with these issues, the location and facilities for activities like kayaking can make it worthwhile.

The resort offers stunning ocean views and clean, spacious accommodations, making it a great spot for a family getaway. The beach is beautiful, and staff are genuinely friendly. However, communication can be tricky, especially during meal times, and the breakfast options leave something to be desired. Overall, I think it provides good value for money but could improve in dining services.

I found the resort to have a stunning seafront with modern villas, and I loved the quiet beach atmosphere. While the private pier was great for fishing, the reception service was frustratingly slow and the older villas felt outdated. Overall, it's a mixed experience with great views but lacking efficiency and value for money.

Rooms

6.0

The new beach suites were pretty, but some furniture was missing and the air conditioning was not working properly. The older villas felt slightly outdated and in need of renovation.

Service

5.0

The service let me down, as the reception was incredibly slow and staff seemed unprofessional at times. However, there was one young bartender who really stood out with his dedication.

Location

The resort is located on a private cove with a lovely beach that felt almost private, which I really appreciated.

Dining

8.0/10

We had a lovely time during our 10-night stay at the resort, enjoying great privacy in our Ocean Villa, which offered beautiful beach views. The hotel grounds were well-maintained, and we found a decent variety for breakfast. However, we did encounter some issues with varying water pressure in the shower and found snorkeling a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a perfect spot for a relaxed getaway.

Rooms

Our Ocean Villa was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The air conditioning was efficient, which was a plus.

Service

7.0

The hotel staff were generally helpful and friendly. We had no significant issues aside from a rough start at check-in.

Location

The location was fantastic, tucked away from the busier areas, yet only a short walk to livelier spots like Vong Duen beach.

Dining

7.0

Breakfast was decent, with a mix of hot options and cooked-to-order eggs, but the fruit selection was quite limited.
