The best hotel to stay”

1st of all i would like to thank to all the Buri Tara Resort Staff for helping me and give me a guide when im staying there. I'm going to Buri Tara Resort on 4-11-2014 until 6-11-2014 for celebrate my 1st Annivesary. When i arrived at this hotel, i look very clean and calm hotel, and this hotel is nearer to the town and Ao nang Beach. The room is very clean and big, the toilet is very clean. The Buri Tara Resort staff help me alots about booking the trip for phi phi island and visit emerald pool. Thank you again for Buri Tara Staff. This hotel suitable for honeymoon. But im very dispointed about the foods at this hotel, because its NON HALAL because i'm muslim. But nevermind, the Halal Restaurant so many near by this hotel. I love it. Last for me, to Manager Buri Tara Resort, i would like to give you an idea to upgrade your Restaurant and Wifi service. If this hotel improve this 2 things maybe this hotel can make more money. Thank you Buri Tara Resort, i would like to come this hotel again for my next vacation to krabi. WORTH IT EVERYBODY..

4 nights stay in Krabi”

Stayed at Buri Tara for 4 nights. Checked in at around 4pm after landed at the airport. Hotel is around 30-45minutes away from airport. Good sceneries on the way to hotel. Took a cab from airport for 600 baht and was upgraded to a van for free. (Much more spacious ;D) When reached hotel, bellboy took our bags and placed it at the counter and was greeted by pretty and wide smiling staffs. :) They were really nice and they can communicate well in English. (Well maybe some only.) Check-in took less than 5minutes as they just needed my passport for verification and once done, we're good to go. Arrived in our superior room with an extra bed as booked thru agoda.com. Room is cozy and spacious with a balcony. Toilet consists of a bathtub and a shower area. HOWEVER, FOR YOUR OWN HYGIENE, LET THE WATER RUN FOR ALL THE SINKS, SHOWER AND BATHTUB FOR A GOOD 30MINS OR 1 HOUR AS THE WATER WILL BE YELLOW AT FIRST. IT WAS DISGUSTING. SO I LET THE WATER RUN FOR A GOOD 1 HOUR BEFORE WE WENT OUT. Bed was comfortable with two pillows each. Luckily for us, we got the room on the 5th floor. Thus, NO MOSQUITOES :D TV has channels like fox movies, and more. Not much. But who cares because you'll be out from your hotel majority of the time. Ao Nang shopping streets are just a good 100m away. Very near and efficient. Many food stalls available, selling good cheap food from 50 baht for fried rice/noodles, etc. Highly recommend a restaurant further down, named Family Thaifood & Seafood. There they sell good and cheap food! MUST TRY. Iced Thai Milk Tea is a must! Bamboo Restaurant is also good! But much more costly. Activities spent: Package (White water rafting, Elephant trekking, ATV, Animal Shows, Fruit Farm, Waterfall, Lunch) + 2 nights to Krabi Town Night market = 2800 Baht Sunset kayaking + Dinner by the beach = 1000 Baht *Buy souvenirs at Krabi Town as they are much more cheaper compared to Ao Nang!

Great stay”

I booked a room only for the first night in Krabi/Ao Nang with a thought to look for better hotel around the area if I'm not satisfied with Buri Tara. Decision made was based solely on reviews from Agoda and other travel sites. Price is affordable. Upon reaching the hotel I was told by the fun, friendly staff that my room was upgraded to Deluxe Pool Access Room FOC. I'm so delighted with this and straight away thinking of staying there for the second night as well. Asked for room rate but unfortunately they can only offer me a standard room as they're fully booked :( They'll take care of my luggage transfer the next day if I'm going away out for a full day - a nice gesture for me so that settles it - I booked for second night as well. Went into the Deluxe Pool Access Room, I'm so impressed. It's tastefully decorated, big size, very comfortable for two person. The sliding door open to a balcony with 2 wooden chair and an access to the pool! We could just strip off and jump :) The staff then gave a basic tour of the room, showing what's available, rules etc. A really big shout out to the friendly and fun staff they have! Made my stay even more enjoyable.

nice hotel, friendly staff and lovely room :)”

i stayed in buri tara resort for 4 nights and they upgraded me to superior room for free. i love the room they gave me which had both the view of the swimming pool and the side road when i sat outside the balcony. their staff were all very warm and friendly. they assisted me with my booking of local tours and provided me plenty of useful info. they also lend umbrellas to the guests on rainy days so that you don't have to worry about getting wet if you are going out. breakfast was good and i was happy to eat phad thai on my last day before i checked out. the only disappointment in my entire stay was that i had a small cut at the side of my right foot when it knocked against the edge of the steps which was beneath the water in the swimming pool. the concrete was rather sharp i thought. other than that i had a enjoyable stay in this resort and would definitely recommend it to tourist visiting ao nang.

Buri Tara stay OK LAH value for money.”

The Swimming pool so small and no light at night a bit scary when try to swim at the pool after 7.30pm when we can't go to the beach. The Hotel Located quite far from the beach on walking distance. So we walk till krabi hotel have a beach bath at the hotel beach. Walking area to lift of the room quite slippery after rain. Although there was a renovation on going in-front of the restaurant of buri tara it was still ok at least no noise at night. I love the bed so huge. Breakfast was ok they have western breakfast, fried rice and soup rice(the best among 2 option) Very near to Krabi-Lapaya hotel with a bridge provide beside the hotel so we can slip to Krabi-lapaya Hotel swimming pool which is huge and nice provided the swimming toy in the pool for guest use. And is convenient for us to use the short cut brige to the ao nang road side stall at nite. Over all for buri tara stay is ok. The funniest thing is some of the car does not drop to Krabi Lapaya hotel haa.....a..They just drop us beside the road side with the reason the car did not have enough power to go in ha..a..a. The food price over there was not cheap man. Roti canai with flavour cost 200bth. We have 8person dishes like fried/noddle per person with 1 drink at the Indian stall with thai food cost us up to 1357bath. Very the expensive oh...

One of the best hotels”

I was first skeptical about how the hotel would look like, would it be the total opposite of what they showed in their hotel website. But to my surprise, it was the total opposite of my thinking. Rooms were very clean, with 2 cute little elephants, made using the bath and face towels, greeting us when we first entered the room. The staff too were very friendly. They served us a very refreshing juice when we first arrived at the hotel. The front desk manager even showed u's up to our rooms, ensuring that everything was okay. Buri Tara Resort is a must for any tourist that wants to make your stay in Krabi, Thailand a very fulfilling and fantastic one!

Cozy hotel with nice friendly staff”

airport transfer: the driver was friendly and the van new hotel staff: very friendly and helpful. they gave us tips on the NUMEROUS tours krabi has to offer, although we purchased our tours from the tour agency down the street instead because it was cheaper. room: clean and cozy. the towels were very creatively folded into an elephant on the first day. we were quite disappointed that it wasnt done on the rest of our stay (6 days). they also provide extra towels to bring to the beach restaurant: upon arrival i was given a 15% discount for food at the restaurant. this discount waived the 7% tax and 10% service charge. but even without the discount, i would say the restaurant charged decent prices for the food which tastes pretty amazing. drinks wise...i recommend the mocktails over the cocktails. the mocktails were so delicious that we decided to try their cocktails, but too bad, they used cheap quality alcohol like smirnoff which was a major turnoff for me. location: 5-10 min walk from nopparat tara and ao nang beaches. the hotel is located somewhere between both beaches. 1-2km down the road u'll find plenty of shopping and amazing food, both italian and thai at decent prices. massage: the masseuse was amazing. we even had them come to our room. talk about comfort!

Lovely hotel - back the second time!”

this is my second stay at buri tara resort. stayed at this resort during my last trip there on june 2010 and decided to return this may again. overall, very accessible with about 15mins walk/2mins motorcycle ride to main ao nang town with food and shopping. nice, clean, peaceful and affordable resort and recommended if you are looking for affordable at a quality place!

Short Getaway ”

It's was quite a bit of a walk to Ao Nang beach but along the way there are shops and restaurant that you can check out which made it better. Ao Nang Night Market is only less than 5 mins walk away from Buri Tara which was really convenient. The breakfast was fine. Not a lot of variety. The room was really nice and big for 2 person. It is nicely lit up when the curtains are opened up. There is 2 mirrors which was perfect for me and my friend when we do our makeup in the morning. The staff there are very nice. The check out is 12pm but our flight got delayed and they were nice enough to allow us to check out one hour later.

Very comfortable room, great location”

we booked this hotel on agoda about 9 in the morning after having stayed in a horrible little hotel that we had found by chance. we drove to buri tara resort and arrived around 10:30 am. we did not expect the room to be ready or the staff to allow us to check-in, but were wonderfully surprised! not only were we allowed to check-in so early, but the room had already been arranged and they had added a baby crib as we requested in the agoda booking. the staff is super friendly and helpful. their english is not fluent, but is passable and they really try to understand and help you. the beds come with a comforter, which i can't understand, it's already warm enough, the ac would have to be down at 18c to use the comforter. however, upon nicely asking for just a flat sheet for the bed, the staff brought one right away and we were very comfortable. :) the only downside was the breakfast buffet was fairly limited, but still tasty.

Best hotel for vacation”

Best hotel for vacation. Buri Tara resort is the best hotel to me and my family.Upon our arrival they great us with welcome drink than explain to us what is the hotel accomodation. The reception show us our room. To us the room is very nice clean and well orgernise.My children like the swimming pool and we like to stay there. Free wifi at lobby good for everybody to email and check thier facebook that my wife hobby. Anyway we like to stay and enjoy it during our vacation to krabi.

Happy that we stayed here”

It was my second visit to Krabi and choosing Buri Tara as our resort was one goof choice. The resort is situated near the beach and walking distance to the restaurants and shopping areas. Upon arrival we were given drinks right away and our room was upgraded to pool view without any cost. The staff are very friendly and very accommodating. I made some requests and they attended to it right away. The resort also provides tours which are affordable and we got some discounts too. Credit are are acceptable too for the tours but with additional 3 %. The breakfast was okay and staff were very nice too however staying for 5 days and eating the same food for breakfast was kinda boring. I just hope they change it from time to time. We tried their restaurant for dinner and food were served fast and delicious.

1st time to Krabi and loving it”

was pick up at the airport as arrange for a two way transfer. on reaching the hotel i was impress how lovely and clean the surrounding of the hotel is and the receptionist name claudia was so friendly and helpful throughout our stay..... the room we booked with pool access was beautiful and so clean.... we enjoyed our short stay because it was meant to be a break with a free and easy attitude..... going over to krabi town for the night market was nice and we walk quite a bit but the town wasn't that big but the nigh market was interesting with lots of items and food in small stalls...we rented a bike from the hotel for a small fee for a day and it was fun.... dinner up the hill top looking at the sunset was a suggestion by claudia the reception and it was great. the food was a beautiful thai cuisine and it was delicious.... buying from aonang area wasn't so bad if you are reasonable when you bargain. buri tara is just at the beginning of aonang beach and it stretch quite a bit... overall we enjoyed and would be back there again maybe a different resort.....

we will be back...”

This was our first stay at the Buri Tara and it wont be our last...we normally stay at the sala talay (now the holiday Inn) but since the takeover the staff are very business like!! Back to the Buri Tara...the hotel was in a good position, an easy walk or 40 Baht ride to the main shopping and dining areas... the staff were absolutely lovely and helpful. The room was well maintained and clean. We had a pool access room which was great... On our first night we were told there was a function on in the dining area and Karaoke..we were a bit nervous about the noise as our room was the first one next to the dining area...we didn't hear a thing!!! At the end of the street there was a couple of food stalls but if you turn left heading to Ao Nang there is a whole section of street food.. dont be scared to try it...we eat there every time we are in Krabi no problems...try the BBQ chicken it is yummy!! The som tam is also good...just tell them how many chillies you want or it could be rather hot!! Cant wait for our next trip to come and stay at the Buri Tara again...highly recommended..

Quiet location with excellent service crew”

This is my first visit to Buri Tara after hearing reviews from my son. Great service crew who attend to our needs and really enjoyed my stay in this friendly resort. Walking to Ao Nang town takes about 15mins but will recommend to rent a motorbike from the reception and traveling will not be an issue.

Excellent”

Very happy with our stay at Buri Tara. Location was a little further away from the main strip on Ao Nang Beach (about a 15 minute walk) but that allowed for more quiet evenings. Room was nice and clean with great cleaning service, shower provided warm water. Pool was very nice. Would suggest longer operating hours for pool. No fitness facility at hotel. Jelly fish are common on Ao Nang Beach and the residing beach close by, be aware.

Nice and friendly hotel”

we had a beautiful time in buri tara resort. room was clean and spacious, an extra bed fitted in without any problem. staff was very friendly, houskeeping great. they made origami out of the towels, every day different animal:-)plenty of tv channels in different languages. location in between two beaches, just few minute walk to get there. in the night the hotel is just nicely quiet if you want night life you go just about 100 meters to the happening area. we were very happy and comfortable there. if we go to krabi again we will consider this hotel again.

great hotel and value for money”

it was my second trip to krabi and i wanted a nice place to stay to match the great experience krabi brings. buri tara just gave me another reason to love krabi. upon checking in, we were given refreshments. we viewed the room with pool access so we decided to upgrade our room. we were received by the staff very well and they are very helpful all the time. this resort is near to restaurants and shops. so overall, a great place to stay.

Value for money, friendly staff, good location”

We were greeted with fresh mango juice upon arrival. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. We were upgraded to Duluxe room for free when we check-in. They even recommend us for the tour to Phi Phi Island and Maya Bay. Location is strategic as a few walks away there were plenty of grocery shops and eateries. Transportation wise is good too as plenty of Tut Tut were waiting outside the resort, hence easy for us to move around Aonang area. Initially the pillows have some stuffy smell, but the staffs willing to change for us new pillows and we had a pleasant stay. The only thing that can be improve is the water pressure at the bathroom, water pressure is quite small during shower. Overall experience is nice and we were happy with our stay with Buri Tara Resort.

Good hotel, great value for money”

I regularly stay at Buri Tara when visiting Ao Nang, Krabi. The hotel is great value for money, very comfy beds, good bathrooms and a decent pool. Its a tiny bit out of the way as it is not on the beach road, but the main beach road is just a short 5-10 min walk away, other than that there are no downsides, a good all round hotel
