This property is located in the scenic area of Ao Nang, with convenient access to the town center just a 10-minute taxi ride away. A complimentary shuttle service is available from morning to late evening. The accommodations feature well-appointed rooms and balconies, providing a private retreat overlooking a tranquil lagoon with interactive fish.

The pool area stands out with an extensive menu of beverages and food offerings available for order.

Also, Guests might encounter cheeky monkeys, around their accommodations in the early morning and through the day. Though perceived as a minor inconvenience by some, it reminds you that you are amongst Thai nature.

The place was amazing. Great breakfast choices and setting, the rooms were thoughtfully designed and the pool was perfect for a little swim. Very peaceful surroundings of nature and we even got a little surprise visit from a monkey family that brightened our already good day. We would definitely revisit if we have the chance. The location is not walkable from the beach, which was not a problem for us since we had a car and it shouldn't be a problem since the hotel provides multiple options but maybe this information will be useful for someone. It is very close though. We saw many people using a bike, which was nice.

There were some issues with the hot water in one of the rooms, which got resolved extremely fast nonetheless.

Lovely place to stay in Ao Nang; just a short ride to Ao Nang beach centre. They do free shuttle ride from hotel to Ao Nang beach and return every 2 hours. The rooms are on a lake with nice view. The room was clean and comfortable. Service was fabulous; a special birthday cake and wishes from staff was very nice suprise for my wife. The breakfast was so delicious. We had fun kayaking and feeding the fish in the lake. There are a lot of monkeys, but they never harm us.

Everything about this resort is impeccable. The breakfast is exceptionally good, a really good breakfast. All the staff were eager to please and the porters took great delight in driving you in a golf cart to your room if it was raining. A really cheerful and friendly place. You can purchase a water bottle filled with fish food and feed the fish off of the balcony and the monkeys are lovely and curious, They will trash your balcony if you leave any food and one decided to eat the cover off my Vietnam book ! They were lovely and I would sit on the balcony smoking a cigarette and they would be no bother, just keep food away. They come at sunrise and sunset. All in all the Poonsiri is by far the best place I have stayed here in Thailand. A real pleasure. Locally there is the Natin Spice garden and the goat farm, which was very charming. The shuttle service every two hours to the Landmark is superb and the porters were really helpful and knowledgeable of the local area. I learned a lot from them. Enjoy your stay !

There was nothing I did not like.

The staff are incredible. Always willing to help you out with a smile. Inc taking us to the local 7 Eleven when we arrived late which was a nice touch. We were travelling with a 2yr old and a 4 yr old and they were just so great with them. The pool area is nice, although the pool itself gets a bit warm in the afternoon, but not much you can do about that in the heat. The area of the resort is really nice. The walkway from the main complex to the accommodation was lovely, very green and jungle feel to it. There were plenty of free shuttle buses and only 200 baht if you wanted to pay for one outside of those. The villa location around the lagoon was just awesome - even with the cheeky monkeys - but they just added to the vibe.

There was really not very much to not like. Only thing I would say is that the breakfast selection was really quite odd at times! Pasta with pesto and chicken wings I just didn't expect to see :D Not enough fresh fruit in my opinion. I would have been happy with a banana and some mango and sticky rice.....not chicken stew :P Also you can't order anything between 10am-11am, even water or coffee/tea, which was a bit annoying But minor grievances all in all

We spent 12 dream days in this fantastic resort, hard to match anywhere in the world. The location itself is extremely exotic and peaceful, it benefits from an exceptional natural setting (exotic vegetation and huge rocks covered with vegetation in the background), the resort was outside the town of Aonang, the staff is very, very attentive, responsive and kind, the apartment it's very spacious - 72 square meters and well laid out, the extremely cute monkeys that walked around the resort every day looking for food, the monitor lizard, the terrace on the lake, the very cute fish that the kids fed, the pool and the pool facilities , including the bar and grill, kayaks for a leisurely ride on the lake. A big plus is the free round trip shuttle from the resort to Aonang town center every two hours starting at 9am and ending at 7pm. In particular, Nuna and Jahja, but also the other girls at the reception, were very kind and a real help, when I needed information for all the activities and excursions we did in Aonang. I recommend this resort with confidence, it will not disappoint anyone. It's a fabulous location that deserved more than a 10. Anytime, I would love to come back to this paradise on earth.

I liked everything!!!

In terms of location, this was probably the best resort we have ever stayed in. The views every morning were breathtaking, we always slept with our curtains open so we could wake up to the view. It felt as if we were in a parallel universe. The calmness was comforting. Although the monkeys do run across the roof in the morning, it’s not bothersome. For the most part they always kept to themselves but we did see them running around the resort every morning which was actually a highlight. The room was spacious and kept clean every day. Communication was sometimes a little difficult with the staff but they did their best to accommodate our needs. The resort is also next door to an elephant sanctuary which was convenient.

Idyllic location, by the river and surrounded by forest and overshadowed by two large mountains. It is far away from the town, but shuttle service is provided every 2 hours (9am to 7pm). Taxi costs around 120-200 baht one way if you want to travel outside of these hours. Room was of good size and Clean. Two bottles of water provided each day. Breakfast was continetal with some thai dishes, different dishes offered on different days, stale pastries but muffins were OK. Food in restaurant was tasty, prices similar to restaurants in the city. Lovely swimming pool, towels provided. There were monkeys around jumping on the patio roof around 6am each day, natural alarm clock I suppose. They are not aggressive unless you carry food on you - be warned. Overall, our stay was very positive, we loved the location, the food OK, but the hard mattress and noisy neighbours has taken a star away from otherwise perfect review.

uncomfortable mattress and paper thin walls, so can easily be woken up by noisy neighbours.

A beautiful resort with a gorgeous deep swimming pool and a stunning backdrop. We loved our stay overall at Poonsiri. It was a lovely relaxing location a little away from the sea front but the shuttle bus or local tucks were easy to use to visit the beach or the night market. Breakfast was good and the staff were nice.

The only thing we didn’t like were the monkeys. We’d read the reviews about them and we knew beforehand there were monkeys at the hotel but they were much more forward than we expected. They are not timid and are not nervous of humans at all and sadly are a bit of a pest at this lovely hotel. We felt we couldn’t relax and enjoy our room balcony for example without being ambushed by a gang of them.
