Baan Habeebee Resort

Unfortunately, our experience here was anything but good. We had checked reviews long before our trip, and everything looked great in the pictures. When we arrived, the area (around the pool and the surrounding greenery) was cozy and beautiful, just like in the photos. However, the pool and the pool chairs were old and in need of an upgrade, but considering the price, that wasn’t a big issue. We had booked a “Superior Bungalow,” of which there were four. In the pictures, it looked like a “regular” bungalow standing independently. What we actually got was a shock. Our bungalow was attached to an outdoor kitchen, meaning our patio was essentially part of the outdoor kitchen. If we had sat outside to have a drink, we would have been sitting directly in the kitchen. I immediately complained about this upon arrival, to which we were told that the kitchen was not in use (although there were clean dishes there, making me wonder how long they had been sitting there). The room itself looked somewhat similar to the pictures, except that the entire bungalow’s floor was significantly slanted. We tested this by placing a water bottle down, which immediately rolled to the side. The furnishings were simple, and from what we could see, the room was clean. However, one major issue was the air conditioning, which did not work properly at all—it desperately needed an upgrade. The extreme heat in the room could be explained by the fact that our outdoor kitchen was covered with a roof, turning our bungalow into a sauna. For me, the worst part is that when you visit their website, you can click on the different room types, and the pictures of our bungalow were misleading—the patio picture was actually taken from one of the other bungalows. Standing in our room, which was supposed to be our “home” for this nice vacation, we had two bedroom windows facing directly into an outdoor kitchen instead of towards the pool like the others. However, I want to emphasize that this review only applies to the “Dhalia” room, and I have no idea what the other rooms look like. I also want to acknowledge that the friendly receptionist offered to move us to a different room the next day. However, for us, it was just too much—a room inside an outdoor kitchen, a literal sauna, and the fact that they had the audacity to charge the same price for this room as the others. A completely subjective opinion is that they also didn’t serve any alcohol—I personally like to have a beer or a cocktail by the pool on my vacation (though this is on me for not checking before booking). In summary, the receptionist was service-minded and friendly and probably did the best she could, even though I would have appreciated some form of compensation. In the end, we quickly booked another hotel to avoid ruining our vacation. My advice to the hotel is to use accurate pictures for this room and charge half the price for guests who might not care as much about the room itself. However, misleading marketing and

I was actually excited to write this review! When we arrived at Baan Habeebee, we were greeted by Asma the owner of the resort. Asma is such a kind lady and looks after her resort with gentle but hard working hands! If I was describe Baan Habeebee, it would be a little oasis of lush green tropical surroundings with beautiful individual wooden Thai chalets. Hidden away from busy Ao Nang but close enough if you want to enjoy some night life. We travelled to Thailand for a month with our children (8 & 12). We stayed at BH for 3 nights. We had two individual chalets (one for us and one for the children) They were positioned next to each other. The chalets was adjoined to a small communal kitchen. Asma kindly offered us the use of the kitchen at our leisure. The resort itself is self catering so we bought some items to take back to the resort for the evenings. The pool is a lovely addition and has a swim jet if you wish to do lengths. Our children adored the pool. It was magical when it rained and watching the children behave like little ducks. The local town Ao nang is stone through away however, I recommend you use the free shuttle taxi (which my children and us really enjoyed and so luxury) that Asma provides. The night market is great fun. I recommend highly. At night you can here the wildlife which is always so fascinating but you also get to hear at certain times the chants from the mosque. Its strangely enchanting and soothing to listen to. Small points to mention: Rooms - Beds are really comfy, The bathrooms are walk in showers however, the children had a bath tub as well as walk in shower, and there is some shower gel / shampoo provided. Pool - This pool is safe and secure. Its got a lovely sun deck area with some Thai style mats to lie out on and I believe its 1.2mtrs deep around. Its self catering so factor that in on you your travels to and from resort. Summary: I absolutely recommend this beautiful resort to anyone. It really is all about the chilled ambience of the resort and we bonded and spent some well needed relaxing time. Thank you so much Asma for looking after us and making our stay comfy and memorable.

Well where do you start, everything from the first moment we booked to the minute we checked out was fantastic. Asma the manager and her team do an amazing job of running this peaceful tranquil littel oasis. It's not near the beach but they do provide a free transfer which is fab, the walk down takes about 15 minutes which is fine in the day time, a different experience in the dark, but only because you can't see where you are going. They do not include breakfast but will arrange for it to ve bought in for you, which again was great. Asma booked our trips and sorted our laundry which was a godsend. Yes you hear the mosque and the calls to prayer but oddly it was not annoying,more it was a way of telling the time, there is Cockerell who likes to be vocal early in the morning, again this didn't bother us. This was a one of a kind base and an Instagram heaven if that is your thing, beautiful and enchanting, each time we came back we saw something different. We would not hesitate to return.
