Large rooms and a quiet pool setting are a persuasive combination after a few crowded travel days. Aonang Duangjai Resort’s older guest accounts describe that sort of relief. The catch is the age of the evidence. I can understand why somebody enjoyed the stay, while still needing much more recent information before buying the same idea today.
Reports from 2017 to 2020 describe large rooms, a quiet atmosphere and a pool at Aonang Duangjai Resort. They also place it outside the busiest part of the area. Because those accounts are older, I would ask for current room and pool photographs and check the practical route to meals and the beach. This could fit someone seeking space and calm, but a historical positive review is not enough to settle a booking today.
The reports from 2017 to 2020 give the property a historical personality: room to spread out, space to rest and some distance from the busiest area. That can be appealing for travelers who want to return somewhere calmer. It does not tell us whether the room in the current offer is maintained to the standard those guests remember, or whether the shared facilities operate in the same way.

For a group, space can solve ordinary daily disagreements. One person wants to get ready, another wants to rest, and everybody needs a place for bags. A large room can help, but only when the actual sleeping arrangement fits. I would not infer that a category comfortably holds additional people from its floor area alone. Beds, occupancy terms and privacy still need to agree with the booking.
The location outside the busiest hub is also something to translate into real days. If you like one outing followed by a relaxed evening back at the property, it may fit well. If everybody wants to come and go independently, the route to meals and the beach becomes more important. A hotel can be peaceful and still be inconvenient for a particular itinerary.
The pool would receive a fresh check if it is central to the choice. A pleasant account written several years ago cannot establish current condition or access. I would ask for a recent view of that area and a direct answer about operation. If the pool is only a possible extra, I would put more weight on room condition and sleep.
An unclear response would make me compare a property with newer, more specific guest evidence. That is not a declaration that Duangjai has declined or closed. It is simply a different level of confidence available to a person trying to choose a room now. An older positive review remains positive; it becomes less capable of answering today’s practical questions.
I would keep the quiet, spacious idea on the shortlist for someone prepared to verify it. The right current evidence could make the resort interesting again. Without that, I would treat the listing as a lead rather than a completed decision. The holiday I can imagine from the older accounts is attractive. The room I can confirm for my dates is the one that actually needs to justify the money.
