“Ao Prao Resort occupies a prized position on a tranquil stretch of Koh Samet, where speedboat transfers whisk guests directly to the beach. In my opinion, the main restaurant's food and setting truly stand out, offering a wide selection with direct sea views, and while the sister property's gym covers basic fitness needs, the natural beauty of Ao Prao remains the undisputed highlight.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Ao Prao Resort enjoys a fantastic location, as many guests point out the smooth and enjoyable speedboat transfer directly from Ao Prao Pier. The main restaurant is a highlight for many, offering delicious and varied food with sea views right by the beach, although some found the prices a bit higher compared to outside options. The rooms are spacious, clean, and some offer lovely sea views, making it a comfortable stay; also, the very clean beach seems to be a common favorite.
