Walking distance to everything. Free Wifi in lobby, and some rooms. Very friendly staff with excellent english compared to other Ao Nang hotels, they went the extra mile to make my stay pleasurable. Mini bar and room service prices were ok. Not on the main road, this is a positive if you like a quiet stay. La Playa is not on the main road which at first I didn't like. However, hotel is well within walking distance to everything in Ao Nang. Free Wifi in lobby, and some rooms. Any improvement in this service would be a positive. The Breakfast had a good selection with chefs that cooked on request. Friendly staff with good english skills made the hotel stay fun! I would recommend this if you are planning to stay in Ao Nang for 2 weeks.
Restaurant Tip : Get a tuk tuk to Kruathara Seafood Restaurant; or ask staff to arrange for you. Well worth it!

Nice swimming pool and ambiance around the pool area. Quite but good location at Au Nang beach. Bed sheets and pillow case had stains. Not many variety for breakfast. Bathroom can be improved - inconsistent hot water, broken body shampoo dispenser. The trip would have been 'satisfactory' despite on 1 occasion we had stains on the bed sheet and pillow case. We had a dispute when we were billed for the taxi to town upon check-out where in actual fact we had already paid in cash at that time. But due to the lack of proof and we were rushing to the airport we re-paid for it anyway.

Stayed for 3 nights during the New Year season but hotel staffs are still responsive and attentive towards my needs. Room was quite spacious, will be better if the TV reception was much clearer.
Opted for room with a garden, plants were not that attractive but did attract lots of mosquitoes, had to keep the sliding door closed all the time.
The bathroom floor trap got clogged up easily for lower ground as water was not flowing out smoothly, some insects crawl up from the floor trap if not closed properly. It will be better if this spacious room come with bathtub.

The hotel is very peaceful and has a special "ambiance".
The hotel staff provides excellent services.
The hotel is located very close to Ao Nang town (therefore it is very close to all kinds of restaurants, shopping areas and jetty area for excursion to nearby Phi-Phi and Hong Island).
Rooms are very spacious.
The hotel mattresses and bed is rather hard although it may debatable if it is good or bad on individual.
I had stayed at Krabi La Playa Resort with my family for a period of 4 nights and 5 days in December 2008. As a frequent business traveller, I find that the hotel is good to excellent although it can have further improvements to make it a 5 Star resort.
As a family, we liked the place very much because it has the kind of peace and tranquility that most families are looking for during their holidays. The hotel staffs were very pleasant and helpful and we never felt out of place during our stay in Krabi La Playa Resort. The pool was decent size and having it located just next to the restaurant makes it more accessible to the kids or other hotel guest.
The hotel is located very close to Ao Nang town and the beautiful Napphorat Beach. There's a mini mart close by and that helps when all other restaurants/bars are closed. As for shopping, there are bazaars and shop just 3 minutes walk from the hotel. La Playa Resort provides peace and it does have its rewards for all kinds of travelers.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : If you have spend time swimming, sun bathing or doing the shopping, there are many massage parlor close by to the hotel which you or your family can enjoy a soothing foot reflexology or Thai massage that gets you relax again to enjoy another day in Krabi. Practically, everything that you need as far as food and shopping is concern, it is a very short walking distance from the hotel.

Near to shoppingstreet,near to see-front and
where the long-tail boats leave for the islands.
Large rooms.Friendly staff.
Good AC. Breakfast is not as good as it should have been
according to room price.
Very hard beds. We spent 4 nights at this resort.Very little
difference between superior rooms and de luxe room
-almost only DVD-player as difference.Our relatives had a superior room.Pool-area was very
nice but we think chloride content was to low as
2 ladies caught infection 2 days later.
Restaurant Tip : Blue mango and Jeanette´s is ok

great hotel that not far away from town. but can escape from crowds. breakfast choice can be improve Overall i love it. Nice reception. Fast service. Even they cant speak fluent english but still willing to help us and answer all our question. The room is worth the money, clean, big enough. not beach side hotel but still have the nice pool. Shops, restaurant just around outside, need to do some small walk. But still ok for us. Will back again.

Good location in Ao Nang. Pool rooms are very nice. Watch out for large bed frame, I broke my toe on it first day OOOUUUCH!!! Situated off the main road, so its nice and quiet but in the heart of Ao Nang, walking distance to all restaurants and bars. Nice pool bar, very friendly staff. All rooms decent size, modern design. Wireless internet access a bit expensive. Large breakfast selection. Stayed there in low season but it was very busy, pool could have done with a few more sun loungers.
Travel tip : Visit Bamboo Bar in the centre point bar area. Soho indian restaurant next to hotel is very nice.

The swimmming pool was beautiful and clean. Rooms are spacious and clean. The food is a bit expensive with 10% service charge + 7% Vat added on. No entertainment available at the hotel. This was our first visit to Krabi and overall it was a very pleasant adventure.We rented a car on arrival at the airport and the rate was quite cheap @ B900 a day for a Toyota Vois car. It was cheaper to rent a car and drive in to the hotel as the taxi fare would have cost two of us around B1200 one way and B2400 to and fro. With the car it only cost B2,700 for 3 days usage. We drove around and ventured on our own to search for all the tourist spots recommended on their tourist map and vistied places like , Hot stream , emerald pool, Huay TAI Waterfall and all the beautiful beaches.
Shopping Tip : If you like free and easy relax trip or scuba and snorkelling then this is the place to be.

spacious, nice pool with kiddie area, great service Somewhat difficult communicating with non-native English speakers. Most did well face-to-face but there were problems speaking on the phone. Our stay at La Playa was wonderful. We stayed there only one night but I wish it could have been longer. The rooms are quite spacious and have great storage for clothing and luggage. The balcony was really nice as it overlooked the pool area. We received great service from all the staff. The only problems we had were a few communiation problems (some of the staff spoke little English), the cleaning staff decided to power wash the pool area in the middle of the day and we had to move our loungers around but they helped, and the hotel is not on the beach. Other than those minor things, this hotel is near perfect. I definitely hope to go back again and soon.
Travel tip : This hotel may be tucked away from the main road but it is within an easy walk to great dining and shopping.

Also stayed 3 nights at Pakasai Resort, within walking distance from La Playa. Quiet, nice rooms and in natural setting but much pricier.
Restaurant Tip : Check out the row of seafood restaurants starting with Aonang Seafood which is facing the beach but quite inconspicuous from the road. Good food and reasonably priced.

Ao Nang Beach itself is not suited for swimming or sun bathing, because the beach is narrow. I could not find any beach chairs not bech umbrellas.
