Gorgeous hotel

This was the perfect start to our Thailand holiday. A beautiful hotel, clean and comfortable. We loved the range of wellness activities on offer without it feeling like a ‘wellness retreat’. The staff are incredible and can’t do enough to help you, super polite and friendly. We also loved the beach club across the road where Varana guests get free use of the beach beanbags. Perfect hotel in a great location.

Luxury last 3 days of honeymoon

This was just luxury for our last 3 nights of honeymoon the horizon sea view room was perfect, the bedding was the most comfortable & the best sleep we’ve ever had! The staff were all so friendly & the food was incredible, breakfast had so much choice the eggs Benedict cooked to perfection. We ate at Sala restaurant & by the pool also & both meals were fantastic. We can recommend the Lamb chops. We really can’t fault this hotel, the facilities, staff, food & rooms were all excellent to finish our holiday. The location was good for us & the beach club just across the road was a perfect spot on the beach. We actually booked this 2 weeks before as our original choice hotel on its own beach & needed a speedboat to get to suddenly started to get some really poor reviews & we were getting worried but we are so glad we changed to the Varana as it really was top class

One may say it is expensive for thailande… but it worths the price. The hotel is incredible, really. Depending on what you are looking for, but Klhong Muang beach is not crowded at all compared to Ao nang. So peacefull with some good restaurants on the beach. Restaurants of the hotel are expensive compared to ones outside, indeed, but quality of the food is way higher.

Liked: Cleanliness
The Varana Hotel has great curb appeal—beautifully decorated and spacious. But that’s where the compliments stop. As a “wellness” hotel, nearly everything comes at an extra cost, including many activities and access to the beach club. Their sustainability efforts seem more about cutting costs than guest experience. We paid for an Ocean View Room but only saw trees. Rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors do not have ocean views. Walls are thin, so expect noise—from guests, birds, or the 5:30 AM mosque call to prayer. The Olympic pool is 3 meters deep at its shallowest, with no bar or lounge area. Happy hour is a scam—prices increase before offering a “deal.” Hidden fees are everywhere: 1,000 Baht fines for towels on railings, mini-fridge drinks promised as “complimentary” but charged at checkout, and constant upselling of their own services while refusing to recommend outside options. Housekeeping came at 5 PM despite our 6 AM request, and a promised 6 AM boxed breakfast was “confirmed” with a 4 AM wake-up call. In wall safe was not secured tot he wall and easily taken away. Management ignores complaints, offering only “we’ll discuss it in a meeting.” A waste of money—there are better options nearby. Avoid.

Highly recommend!

Absolutely beautiful hotel. The entire complex is spotless and well maintained. The rooms were lovely and beds extremely comfortable. Pool areas are brilliant, could do with proper pool table service as it is difficult to get served unless going to kiosk and can take a long time to get food or drink near the pool. All staff are very friendly and helpful.

Lovely facilities and staff. Food from the hotel restaurants was surprisingly really good so was fine with paying hotel pricing. Beach across the road is much nicer and quieter compared to Ao Nang. If you're wanting a relaxed getaway to just chill by the pool or beach then this place is great. Happy I chose to stay here than Ao Nang.
