BlueSotel SMART Krabi Aonang Beach

BlueSotel SMART brings modern comfort to Aonang’s lively hotel district with a prime spot that puts you 550 feet from Ao Nang Beach. Built in 2021, this 4-star property sits perfectly positioned between the main tourist strip and the quieter monkey trail, giving you easy access to restaurants and bars while offering escape routes when the crowds get too much.

The real draw here is those rooftop pools with their elevated views over Aonang Bay – guests consistently rave about the rooftop setup in reviews. You’ll find multiple pool options including rooms with plunge pools if you want private water access. The property offers solid variety in their 112 rooms, from standard Deluxe Double Rooms with Balcony to Premier Suites with Garden View, plus those special Double Rooms with Plunge Pool for couples wanting something extra.

Insider Tip: Book a Premier King Room with Pool View for the best balance of space and rooftop pool access without paying suite prices.

This works well for couples and small groups who want modern amenities without breaking the bank. With 8.7/10 on Agoda (4,706 reviews) and 8.3/10 on Booking.com (3,931 reviews), guests consistently praise the location, pools, and breakfast quality. At $150/night, you’re paying mid-range prices for what feels more premium thanks to the 2021 construction. The tradeoff? You’re in the thick of tourist central, so expect crowds and noise from the surrounding area.

Starting at $150/night puts this in the sweet spot for Aonang – not budget but reasonable for the quality and location. Railay Beach sits 2.7 miles away for day trips, while Pai Plong Beach is just 950 feet if you want a shorter walk. The 1,300 feet to city center means restaurants, tour operators, and evening entertainment are all within easy walking distance.
