My partner and I have just returned from a 2 week stay at Bluesotel SMART and we had a fantastic time. We had a swim up room and I would highly recommend this. Prior to arriving, I requested a room that was exposed to the sun as I read that some terraces were shaded. We were allocated room 1103 and it was perfect! We used the swim up bar frequently during the day, the staff were lovely and the drinks/food were great too. Happy hour is great value. Breakfast was great, I loved the egg station. The location of the hotel is perfect, it is a couple of minutes walk to the beach and within walking distance to the main bars/restaurants in Ao Nang. It is also worth mentioning that you should 100% visit the Blue Mountain Market which is just around the corner, there's a huge amount of variety here and live music etc. I would definitely recommend staying here and would 100% stay again!
