“One of the few places in Krabi that is still great value for money. Directly at the beach and just a few hundred meters away from the entrance to a national park. Beach is not very good by itself but the view is terrific (one of the best you can have in South Thailand) with many small and beautiful islands close by. Hotel restaurant is directly at the beach and does not only offer great views but also delicious food. Rooms are big and modern (no English TV but who cares). Staff is very friendly and takes good care of the place. Perfect during low season Things to consider before booking: This is is a quiet beach. There are no shops and no bars or restaurants outside the hotels and there is definitely no nightlife. There is a road directly behind the hotel but we didn’t hear much because it is not a busy road. There are a few hotels at the beach but in off-season this is not a main issue. They are constructing another another big hotel at the other end at the of the beach”

“We only stayed at the Beyond Resort for one night in February 2017, but we liked our stay there. PROS: The infinity pool overlooking the private beach is the biggest draw. Unlike other resorts along Klong Muang beach, the beyond resort krabi has its own private beach right in front of the hotel, that is accessible without crossing the road (unlike at the sofitel). The spread at the breakfast buffet is also great, with an omelette bar and both western and eastern-style cuisine. There was a nice evening cocktail HH where drinks were buy 1 get 1 free. At sunset, we were able to walk along the beach past the next hotel to watch the gorgeous sunset. There were also several villas available, some of which had their own private pool, which looked amazing! CONS: Katagroup bills this hotel as a "luxury resort" but after having stayed at several truly luxurious hotels in Thailand, including the Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra down the road, this is not a luxury hotel. The building is built strangely, with eerily quiet, closed-off hallways. The location is stunning but the building itself, although only three years old, is showing some signs of wear and tear. I booked a deluxe seaview room and was initially placed in a room on the side of the hotel, and had to request a room that actually had a view of the sea. While there may be more luxurious hotels in the area, in terms of a price-to-quality ratio, the Beyond Resort Krabi is an excellent choice, particularly for young couples and families.”

“Stayed in the pavilion suite for three days and found the location of the hotel to be heavenly. The place is very peaceful, soothing and relaxing. Its right on the beach and is the last hotel before the cliffs which makes teh location even more amazing. The hotel is a around a hundred meters from the main shopping area in ao nang. Basically, everything about the location was amazing. The pavilion suite i stayed in was very good too. The room was spacious and with all necessary amenities, clean bathroom and all. The thai thai restaurant with its sitting area next to the beach and the thai thai massage parlour again next to the beach were both as good as it gets. The quality of the food for lunch/dinner was one of the best i had in thailand. The tour service at the hotel lobby was very reasonable cost wise and the service was good too. Would use them again. The only downside about the hotel was the breakfast. I think it needs to improve alot. In short, a highly recommended hotel and one i would love to stay in again if I'm heading to Krabi/Aonang.”

“If you are Muslim, please bear in mind that the food isn't halal. It's just NO PORK NO LARD. There aren't vegetarian options as well( ONLY FRUITS AND SALADS). Other than that everything else is perfect. Most of the staffs are friendly and helpful, quite accommodative too. Toothbrush and toothpaste isn't provided. Bedroom slippers are available upon request. On the side note-: If you wish to go to Krabi Town, take the bus from the BUS STOP which is just in front of the hotel as it is convenient and cheaper. Recommendations:- *Don't forget to check out the beautiful mosque down the street as it gets lit at night. *Head down to 89.8 cafe for the best breakfast , brunch and dinner or for the best steak ever at Jenna's. Opposite Ava Sea along subway/MacDonald's. (Non Halal, has Vegetarian options) *For the best cocktails in Krabi head down to the street bar just before the Beach in front of the BUS STOP don't forget to try their passionfruit mojito for only 99Baht. Would definitely stay here again as their location is smack in the center.”

“This was our first time traveling in the Krabi / PhiPhi / Railay area and we booked a different night at each hotel. We found a good deal on Rayavadee and decided to splurge for one of the nights. It far exceeded our expectations and it was the best place we've ever stayed in Thailand. The facilities and staff were great, the bungalow felt like a nice house with the room being upstairs, food was good - but the scenery is the best part. It was hard to stay at other hotels after this because nothing else can come close.”

“Before going to Krabi I read a lot of reviews (including TripAdvisor) and was amazed at the number of negative reviews. Main complaints were: shaky pier, hazardous walkway, expensive food, lack of service, unfriendly non-English speaking staff, slow drainage in the bath, to name a few. After being there I would say that we have been in a completely different place with good service, excellent food, clean rooms, etc.There some limitations which result from hotel's locations, for example the walkway - but it is like climbing up and down the stairs - no difficulty at all (I have not read a single review with complaint on central stairs of the resort - going from lobby to rooms in the upper raw - and that stairs are steeper than the walkway.) The main problem of the hotel is that some arriving guests do not quite understand where they are going and specifics of the hotel's isolated location - insufficient information both on website and on spot like it is done say in Ravadeeya for example.The hotel's prices are 2-3 times higher than in Ao Nang, but you definitely get the quality of services and food for that money. Quality of service is much higher than in most European, Mediterranean 5 star resorts, not to mention the UK and can be compared to other 5 star resorts in Thailand. The hotel in my opinion definitely lacks a proper lobby bar.”

“Arguably, one of the best hotels in Krabi. The photos do not do the place justice. The hotel was new, modern but still with a bit of Thai ambiance. The room and the bathroom were big, even if we only book the cheapest room. View from our room balcony was overwhelming, as you can see the mountains, cliffs and trees beyond the hotel. Breakfast buffet was great as there were a lot of choices. Pool is okay, though, the bigger pool was under maintenance when we were there so we only used the smaller one near the kid's pool. We were not able to use the spa and sauna thou we can access the fitness room which we had to ourselves. Best thing here was the service, the staff were very polite and helpful, they offer free shuttle to the beach as the hotel is a bit far from the beach. Around 10-15 min walk, thought, you would not really feel that it's that far as there are a lot of shops along the street. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again if ever I'm in Krabi.”

“The GLOW Ao Nang Krabi is the great hotel. All staff from reservation bell front desk and house keeper have the best hospitality friendship, especially staff at the breakfast room is excellent. Breakfest is OK. This hotel is quite, good location. However parking places are not sufficient to meet the needs of hotel guests. However, I highly recommend if you visit Krabi, Thailand.”

“If you come from a city and staying in high-rise buildings most of your life, this is a good chance to stay in a kampong-style resort while in Krabi. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the cliff landscape with lush greeneries are captivating, and the place is super clean. With only 25 cottages, you almost feel like you own this kampong paradise. The swimming pool is usually empty, and the breakfast "hut" housed only 3 - 4 other couples. I don't know if it's due to a low September season, but when I booked this resort, I got the last room and all 25 cottages had occupants - still, the area is so quiet and peaceful - maybe everyone left for sunrise. Being the number 1 ranking resort in AoNang, I have to be frank and advise others that if you are looking for a super modern, beach-facing, luxurious resort, then Ban Sainai is not for you. I would not think that this resort will beat the 5-star upscale resorts that has infinity swimming pools (and probably packed as well) but it is certainly a gem in its own right. I didn't have any insect issues - didn't use any of the insect repellent and mozzie wipes! Tips: 1) Book an airport transfer with Ban Sainai at 600Baht if it is your first time in Krabi. It costs the same if you book a "taxi" (well, it's still a private van/car by a private company), so might as well book it with Ban Sainai. 2) Ban Sainai offers free daily tuk-tuk shuttles at specific timings to Ao Nang McDonalds, however, the last pick-up time ends rather early around 9.15pm. 3) You can rent a car (THB1,200/day) or a bike (THB250/day) from the Ban Sainai reception.”

“greeted by friendly staff with a quick and easy check in, once presented with the room we were amazed with the view of the limestone cliffs and wicked pool. the hotel is right the middle of everything that is going on in Aonang. room service was great but a bit difficult to order if English is your first language. mini bar prices were cheaper than mini marts. overall best hotel in Krabi”

“Hotel staff were very polite & helpful, always smiling & greeting us. Provided all the information we needed. Booked island-hopping trips from hotel which were wayy cheaper than the ones online and those we were offered at from the Airport. Arranged transport to & fro the airport via Hotel, driver was punctual. However we were late upon arrival due to flight delay, he waited for us for 3 hours, poor gentleman! Airport is 30 mins away from the hotel. Strategic location, if you wanna be near the beach. 30 mins ride away via Tuk Tuk from Krabi Town (Night Market). Hotel offered a private van to Krabi Town which was definitely cheaper, 200B per pax for 2 but we declined & wanted to experience riding a Tuk Tuk & booked one outside the hotel for 800B (these guys are always hanging out oustide the hotel area) Lots of shops, massage parlours, spa, minimarts & Halal eateries nearby (for Muslims), all walking distance. Hotel does not provide Halal food so we always eat outside. No big deal, even for breakfast, we bought cereals & milk from the 24hrs minimart. Overall, a pleasant stay/trip! Would love to be back again!”

“This was our first trip to Thailand and we stayed at this resort for 5 nights. We were easily able to get a public mini bus from Krabi airport to the hotel and this cost 150 baht per person. On arrival at the hotel (and throughout our stay) the staff were so friendly and welcoming. We stayed in a tree top bungalow which was stunningly beautiful, huge room. I’m not sure I’ll have a bath with a view that good again! The rooms are up a steep hill but there was always a buggy with a friendly driver ready to take us up to our room. Because there’s only about 80 rooms the resort never felt busy and around the pool was always quiet and relaxing. We ate food from the restraunt twice & although the food was pleasant we mainly ate our in ao nang. Best places we found to eat outside of the hotel; jungle kitchen & Kodak kitchen. They do not sell alcohol at the hotel however there is a tesco next door and they were happy for us to bring drinks by the pool and in our room. Memories we will treasure.”

“We decided to spend songkran down at a beach location, and I had never been to Krabi before. When deciding on a Krabi hotel, I wanted a decent sized resort in a central location, that was right on the beach. Krabi Resort ticked all those boxes. When I arrived, I quickly determined that I had picked the optimal resort for the area as Krabi resort was the most centrally located, and one of only a very few that had direct access to the beach. The reason is the resort is one of the originals for the area, but the over the years it has expanded a lot, meaning you can choose between a lot of accommodation options, eg hotel style rooms, or semi detached rooms, to fully detached villas with their own private pool. The resort itself is large and they drive you to your room after you check in. Facilities include two pool areas (one done like a pirate ship), a fantastic gym, large scale chess board with pieces set up, multiple restaurants, mini golf, bicycles for rent, beach, massage etc.”

“the best hotel. All the staff are great n friendly very welcoming too. Ms Kai was the first Sugar Marina staff whom attended to us, couldnt remember when was the first time then. Her friendlinest and warmth has made us come back for the 2nd time and so on through our 3rd and 4th stay. There was a thoughts to change and try out other hotel in Krabi but our heart still fall for Sugar Marina Cliffhanger and ended up we chose to stay here again. Last month we went to Phuket and stayed at Sugar Marina Nautical in Kata beach. it was nice too. My partner and me love our stay there in Phuket, but we still love and njoy more in Sugar Marina in Krabi. We just love Krabi so much. We will coming back for Krabi for our short gateway as and when we can. Thank you Krabi and Sugar Marina Cliff hanger for the wonderful moments and great stay. Hope your business will always prosperous n bless.”

“I would given a 5 star if the TV is working (though Hotel Staffs explain the fault is at the service provider). My room is facing an under-construction building but does not really bother; we spend the days on snorkeling / island hopping and around Krabi. Hotel staffs are friendly and polite throughout my stay. Halal restaurant is within reach. Hotel is located somewhere it is easy access to Aonang beach and Muslim street, eitherway is 10mins walk. I will definitely return to Bluesotel if i visit Krabi in future.”

“Location, Value + a great Spa are the outstanding features of this hotel. Our first impression was somewhat spoilt by the fact some building work was happening so the front of the hotel was a bit untidy. Check In was quick and efficient. During our stay the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was plentiful and in a beautiful location overlooking the beach. The room lack hanging or shelving for clothes and bags. The towels were a bit threadbare and I felt the aircon could have been better. It was very hot in Krabi and we had to leave the aircon on so our room would be sufficiently cool when coming back in the afternoon. Our room was facing the west which got the afternoon sun. However everything else in the room was good with the usual safe, tv, fridge etc. A nice touch is that they supplied some spa products for the guests to try. The bath in the room is strange but was it was okay. We used it for our dirty clothes and hanging things on. The most outstanding feature of this hotel is the spa. I had two treatments and they were both excellent and good value. As mentioned the hotel location was excellent. In the middle of town so next to restaurants, shopping and the main attraction across a small access road to the beach. The hotel also had a tour booth and could organise transfers etc. There are a lot of accommodation choices in Krabi and you could get cheaper elsewhere but the hotel was nicely furnished and the staff were good. The pool runs thru the hotel and is long and narrow. A bit warm but so was the sea as it was very hot. There was also another pool up the stairs and this was more private. We had a nice night swim and drink one night and had the pool to ourselves. We have stayed at another more expensive hotel in krabi and would stay again at Phra Nang as stated in the intro location, value and spa were top notch. Will recommend this hotel to my friends.”

“the hotel it self amazing , but the location really i dont know where were we that night hahahahaha since we arrive from bkk , my freinds were very confused at night like there's nothing to do at night the area so calm and no night life only few markets and message places .. so that was my only night at krabi and the next day we rent a car and drove to phuket ... maybe next time we will really find more things to do in krabi.. btw i should say it the girls at reception are truly friendly and helpful and smile all the time.. overall it was a rest night from the bkk jam”

“This was my first ever trip to Krabi and choosing to stay at Railay Great View Resort in Krabi was probably one of the best opportunities. Previously, I visited to Nusa Penida, Bali, Indonesia back in April, 2019 and Krabi was good enough to have me recall my memories back where Railay Great View Resort played a vital role along with their really helpful and jolly staffs. The rooms were really comfortable, coming with stunning view and ambient interior, one can always be connected to the nature. The amenities that were mentioned were well provided and there was no compromising mentality from the hotel authority. The buffet breakfast was outstanding. There were enough items to match top-notch facility and we loved every bit of it. However, the in house restaurant offers a great number of foods, but the only drawback is their pricing is comparative to the restaurants outside. I would love to visit them again.”

“Many hotels in krabi are right next to a smelly river that creates tons of bugs. This hotel was away from that and had free fruit drinks every afternoon. The breakfast was a large buffet with American and Asian options. ”

“sunrise tropical rsort krabi< thailand me and my husband had gone to thailand and we planned to visit krabi for its beautiful locations and water sports activity. we chose railay as our location for stay. railay is certainly one of the best place in thailand with beautiful beach and intricately carved lime stone hills and caves. we stayed at sunrise tropical rsort at railay. this is wonderful resort equipped with ultramodern luxuries. the towels and linen provided was of high quality and the morning breakfast had everything to offer that a five star hotel can offer. the hotel is a real luxury and very good deal for the price you pay. air condition had individual control of ac temperature and air flow in each room. the entire hotel is maintained neat and clean. the linen and towels provided are spotlessly clean and of good quality. the staff at hotel was found to be very efficient and courteous. overall the place gets very high ratings and i would recommend any traveller to consider sunrise tropical rsort as one of the option available. the best feature we liked was that boat to krabi was available just outside the hotel and it took less than a minute to check out and catch the boat.”

“A special hotel in krabi ,inside hotel very clean and comfortable..staff is very friendly and will explain all the thing to you before start staying .facilities is good ..swimming pool is nice...but a bad thing is a bit far to beach and 3min to 7-11..everytime time walk out a bit tired ...but other thing is good ..value for money !!! If I come krabi again I should will stay here again !!!!”

“Super beautiful pool villa overseeing Ao Nang Beach and the sunset. The villa is spacious, clean, and the staffs are extremely helpful and kind. Of course, the best part of this villa is the private pool where you can chill in the pool and enjoy the sunset (I believe regardless of the room you're staying, the view should be unblocked). Location may not be the most convenient, but the hotel provides daily (free) shuttle to the beach at different intervals. Alternatively, if you require the shuttle outside the scheduled time, you can pay THB 50 per pax (min THB 100) for the shuttle to the beach. Andakiri will definitely be my go-to hotel for my future Krabi trip.”

“Our trip to Krabi was a spontaneous idea but we were so glad we chose to stay at the Kokotel Krabi Ao Nang. The rooms were cleaned and the hotel was centrally located. Only a few minute walk to Ao Nang Beach and at the center of all the activities and nightlife, etc. I traveled with a friend and my brother and this was the only place where we got three separate beds. The staff was really nice and one staff even called in to get us a deal on a tour we were thinking about it. All staff were really accommodating and willing to check up on our tour pick-ups (especially when some of them were late). The free breakfast was such a good idea. Saved us a lot of money and allowed us to eat anything we wanted for lunch and dinner. Room maintenance was also very good and we felt safe leaving valuables in our room and in the safe. The water was a bit weird (changed quickly from hot to cold, vice versa) but after four days of no shower in Laos' countryside we were glad for any hot water.”

“The service at the Nakamanda is quite good compared to other hotels in Krabi. Staff are very accommodating, honest, and friendly. Compared to some other Krabi hotels the view from the Nakamanda is not fantastic, but if you spend some time on a boat or kayak tour, you will see great views so not to worry. The spa is absolutely wonderful and we spent at least an hour there each day. wish it could be longer! Pool is large and well maintained, very clean, chlorinated. Restaurant not bad, facing the beach, quite tasty, but not too fancy. Extensive wine list. Breakfast ok with fruit, cereal, congee, egg stand, pastries, hot meat, thai noodles. Rooms are spacious with large comfy beds, aircon, well equipped bathrooms, a safe to store valuables, beach bag, sandals, umbrellas, slippers, robes, electric kettle, daily mineral water, free wi-fi, and multi-EU/US plugs. There is also a nice sala veranda with a table, towel rack to dry swimwear, and a large futon cushion. Great to relax there, especially with the overhead ceiling fan, and electric bug killer. Bring bug spray while outside! There seems to be lots to do around Krabi including boat tours, kayaking, fishing, snorkeling, diving, elephant tours, etc. Some of it is easily accessed right off the hotel's beach front. If you get bored, you can visit the hotels next door which are larger resorts and bigger restaurants. The negatives were 1) we had no hot water, perhaps an oversight that can be easily repaired 2) despite a LARGE bathroom, there was no privacy in the toilet 3) not too many restaurant or shop choices in Klong Muang but you can easily travel by taxi to Ao Nang, albeit the hotel car transfer is quite expensive at 500 bht each way. Mosquito nets over the beds would be nice too. Overall we enjoyed our short stay, and I would recommend the hotel for its good value and privacy.”

“Very modern stylish hotel with just a few guests due to corona virus. Nice staff. Small pool between hotel/restaurant and guesthouse. Some tables of restaurant are quite near to the pool. I imagine full house: How would it look like with using the pool and eating at the same time... Hotel consists of two blocks each 5 levels high. No good view. Our room was situated in level 5 to the riverside. But we can only see the river may be 30 degrees of a round view. Distance to the river about 300m. Its nice to walk along the river. Central location of hotel in Krabi town. (What made me angry: You arrive at the reception and they don't ask you if you have booked already, but start to give you some form to fill out, want your credit card, subscribe etc but you have booked already and paid in advance. Why they never look in their system what or who is coming up today? = You surely know that!) Anyhow this place is very good for visiting Krabi and to travel around here.”

“If you’re young and looking for a fun place with friendly travelers and staff that want to party day after day, this is the best option in Krabi! Even those staying at slumber party at the beach are shuttled here to pre-game. You can walk downstairs to the bar at any time and there’s something fun going on. That being said, the driving force behind the party atmosphere is to make more money for slumber party. I saw first hand a few people get peer pressured into drinking even after getting too drunk and losing their belongings out on the night before. But what do you expect when the price per night is sometimes as low as 90 baht/night? They have to earn money somehow. I enjoyed my stay here for 2 nights and wouldn’t change a thing! But if you want balance (enjoying time at the beach or relaxing) instead of constant binge drink, recover, repeat - I suggest you have strong will power or stay someplace nearby and show up on the nights you want to party.”

“The hotel was overall clean and tidy. Except for the toilet, hopefully they'll improve the drainage system. The comfy bed and comforter are my favourite parts of all. The workers are okay but i like the male worker (we called him "abe") the most bcs he's very friendly and he helped us a lot in finding the best package for the beach and island tours. Ask him anything you need, he'll always be there to help! The atmosphere and other travellers were nice too :)”

“I was backpacking with my friend, decided to get a cheap hostel for 2 nights in krabi since we were on a tight budget and we came across Ao Nang Backpacker. Decided to book 2 beds in a mixed dormitory. Room, beds, balcony, toilet, were all clean. Ample space to place our huge bags on the floor. Sufficient plugs. I found it very good that they had lockers for us to keep our valuables. The wifi was strong for phones and also laptops. Staff was very friendly, approachable and reliable. 👍 Hostel located on a great side of Ao Nang.”

“Great location near everything you'd like to do in Krabi. Dorms were nice, but a little hot (no A/C), and also no lockers which is an issue for some. Wifi was good, and staff was really nice and helpful. Only thing is there were not a lot of travellers there, so I had to venture out to meet people, which isn't the end of the world. Cheap, clean, good location, can't go wrong.”

“Hikers Home Guesthouse is 7km away from Ao Nang Beach, which was perfect for us to avoid too much touristic chaos and high prices. Hikers Home in Kluong Muong is located next to the cheapest restaurants ever and it's also possible to use the kitchen so we had the chance to eat cheap all time. The 4 person dorm was really clean, the beds super comfortable and we had a cupboard and a fridge in the room! That was awesome. The staff was so friendly also! He helped us planning our adventure days and drove us to Ao Nang pier. We also had some dinners and fantastic evenings together and were able to wash clothes really cheap. The Hostel is cleaned all day and if you want to go somewhere in Krabi Province you can rent a cheap scooter. So if you don't like overcrowded places like Ao Nang, go to Hikers Home Guesthouse!”

“Stayed here for 2 nights in August over off season and was still quite busy. Dorm rooms are like converted villas; clean and well air conditioned. The overall hostel is a great experience with amazing views over Krabi and would definitely recommend staying as a solo traveller.”

“I had the pleasure of spending a couple nights here while in Krabi. This hostel may be new to the Krabi scene, but the friendly folks running the place have come out of the gate charging. The place is clean, rather spacious, and has everything you need to enjoy yourself both in the area and in the hostel itself with a good array of games, musical instruments, and even printing facilities in addition to, of course, fast wifi. I especially enjoyed the free and surprisingly filling breakfast. I had an omelet with sausage and toast, but you have several choices. In short, it's a great hostel, and I plan to stay here again next time I'm in Krabi.”

“We booked this room from our phone in the van to Krabi. We got a great last minute deal and it was a very nice hostel. When we arrived the room was nice but there was an obvious drafty smell from the air con. I normally would just deal but my group has been sick a lot recently so we figured we would just politely ask if there was another room to swap. Unexpectedly, the front desk man named Alex was incredibly accommodating. They didnt have space for 3 in another room and went as far as their sister hotel next door, checking 3 different rooms to find the best one. We kept saying its okay but he insisted. We ended up in a little suite to ourselves for no upcharge. Even the next day, staff at the sister hotel (The Green House) was super helpful and friendly getting us to the pier. We met the manager, Eak who was so kind and caring. Ive lived in Thailand for 9 months now and rarely experience this level of hospitality.. especially for the value.. I will be coming back! Please book here!”

“If you are looking to have an OUTSTANDING time in krabi, this is your hostel. Slumber party at the beach hostel made our stay in Krabi really GREAT, AMAZING and AWESOME! All you need to do is book all their tours to have a guaranteed FANTASTIC time in krabi. All the staff was amazing, special thanks to TEEJAY who was a SUPERB host to our boozecruise and pubcrawl. To Bang and Anine for the Jungle tour.”

“Wanted some place close after arriving from Koh Pha Ngan, had in mind to just stay two nights and move to a better location, this is a great location, close to the night market/food vendors, close to bars actually just brilliantly situated, so yep you guessed it, stayed 3 more nights here. Hostel, has single rooms/dormitories. I opted for a 4 bed room, a nice cosy number, they have rooms up to ten. The room has the best beds with actual cotton duvets, I know you want to stay out all night, but I couldn't wait to climb into bed. Rooms are cleaned daily as is the washroom. There are about 5 sinks/showers/toilets for the 4 rooms situated on the floor with 2 bunks. Water pressures not great for shower, but good enough to get clean. There's a mini pool by the stairs, great for a quick cool down dip. There's drinks, food is rather good, I've heard some reviews say that only Thai food is good, but that's nonsense, the sandwiches, western breakfast was all very tasty. The hostel next door Pak Up, has a bar to the rear that plays loud music, this is only really heard in the washroom, the bedrooms don't face it so the noise is dampened. Staff are very helpful, helped with my transfer to Koh Phi Phi & printed my e-ticket for no charge. I haven't got a bad word to say everything was 5 star. You'll read reviews on here putting the place down, but I'm happy to say they're all nonsense, some people come away to a hostel that's cheap as chips & still seem to expect a 5 star hotel, doh this is for backpackers. Some commented on the staff not speaking English, this is true, but they still help, still try to understand or will get someone who can, I'm English through & through and I had no problem making myself understood. Great place, fantastic staff, including the two little kittens who run around & you can play with, love town Krabi, plenty to do, visit the Tiger Cave Temple, it's amazing, wear proper footwear to climb the 1260 stairs, yes they say there's 1237...they lied hahaa.”

“Pak up hostel is a great place to stay and to meet travelers from all around the world. The location is great, the facilities are excellent, and the price is cheap- Best to book this hostel through Agoda- the best deal and the cheapest price for sure, even relatively to booking straight via the hostel itself. All friends i met at these hostel stayed there for 4-5 nights even though there is not much to do in Krabi, it's just a great place to chill out and make friends. The rooms and showers are very convenient. I spent here two nights when arrived from the northern islands, went from here to Railay Beach (the pier is very close and it's 150 BHT for 30 min each direction). Near the hostel is a night market which is very good- tasty and cheap. Also spent there the night before my flight to BKK- its 30 min from Krabi airport. highly recommended !”

“Clean, modern, quiet. It so really good hostel. You can have private space with covered curtains around. Dormitory is located from 2nd story so you need to take it to up. But staff may help to bring. Bathroom area smells little bit but here is Thailand and it is acceptable not too bad. Highly recommend for your trip. ”

“I stayed in this hostel last year when it was recently opened. Stayed there again this year after moving from funky crab hostel (do not booked funky crab hostel). In this hostel there is lot more people now but still have the high standard. Toilets are clean, staff super helpful and ac in the room are great. Still recommended if you are in krabi town for a few days”

“I stayed here back when Covid-19 first started messing up the tourism in the area so my review might not be representative of Pop-In at its full glory. The place is quiet, clean and modern. Bathrooms are shared but they are some of the vest I have seen in Thailand. The location is good. 7 eleven, Tesco, restaurants, the beach, laundry, Makro, pubs and nightclubs are all within walking distance. The hostel itself has a very small communal area which closes at 10pm and the aircon is turned off during the day regardless of whether or not you have left the room. The matresses are thin and uncomforatable to sit on for long periods. There is also no communal kitchen so food has to be bought and eaten outside, which is expensive in Ao Nang. If you don't know the area and you are wondering whether here or Krabi is better for you, then here is better. Krabi is more residential and Ao Nang is the tourist place that you need to be at. The staff were ok. Maybe it's just me but I felt that they viewed me as an inconvenience. I wasn't greeted well and I felt as though I was interrupting just to ask a question. When the all accommodation in the province  was ordered to shut as a measure against the spread of Covid-19, we were notified by a note on the wall. There was little effort to spread the message or help with onward travel. But this was an extraordinary time so maybe the stress of the situation affected how they treated everyone. Overall, I would stay here again. It was clean, modern, had great showers and was centrally located. The price was the best at the time and if it is a good deal again it would be a good place to base yourself for a couple of days.”

“I stayed here for 5 nights in Krabi Town. The room i stayed has totally six beds and i am on the upper bed. First, the staff there are friendly and willing to meet most of the request you have made. The common areas including six tables, checkin counter, tours leaflets desk and a little open kitchen. The place looks really fantastic. To enter into your room, you have to climb up the stairs but it is not a big deal if you can not with a very big luggage haha. The bed in he room is gigantic. Also, there are an area to keep your own belongings but you have to bring you own lock. Since i dont have any valuable stuffs, it is not a big problem for me to not have a lock. The hostel provided with shampoo, shower gel, hairdryer (note: only one in the second floor). It would be perfect if the hostel can provide each tourist with 1 or 2 hanger as there are no space to hang out all the cleaned clothes. For your information, toliets and shower room only in the 2nd and 4th floor, it would be a little bit inconvenient, BUT it is acceptable. What impressed me the most is the room price include the breakfast, such as toast and bananas. It is a all-rounded hostel. Last but not least, it only takes 8 to 10 minutes to the night market and transportation there is acessible. The hostel even surrounded by motorbike and bicycle rental services shop and tour guide shop. Definitely a good place. It is a pleasant stay for me in Krabi town. There are nothing to complaint at all!!!!! Highly recommend you to stay here”

“Location is superb, right in front of the beach. 7-Eleven and Family mart nearby. A bit far to get halal food near the mosque, but at night sometimes got halal food stall parked at the road. Not so noisy in my opinion, but maybe my ears are too adapt with high noise pollution from work, different people different perspective. The toilets are 5-star quality. 4-bed room are spacious. View from balcony was mesmerizing as it point towards the sunset. Next trip to Krabi will definitely book here again. Kudos!”

“my friends actually stay in the hotel just across chokdee. since i just spend 2 nights in krabi, so i thought i just stay at chokdee. awesome hostel, i love the internet connection here. the location quite far from aonang, so u need bike which u can rent here as well. the lady also arranged for my airport transfer. ”

“Lovely little bamboo huts! we stayed 3 nights and extended our stay for another 3. it's a little far from the beach but you can hire a scooter which takes 5 mins to get there. the pool could do with cleaning more it was always full of dead bugs. I had tonsillitis whilst I was her and the owner (an Italian male) was really kind and helpful when we needed things. The last on reception wasn't the most organised saying that we hadn't payed, we had to show our recipt to prove we had before she believed us. there is a restraunt on sight which is OK. we had cold beans on toast one morning that wasn't nice but had a delicious pizza another evening so depends what you order. over all it was a nice say and we would stay again. The maid is also very lovely and you can see she's always working hard :)”

“I was happy to find such clean dorms with very large beds. They were on the firm side, but comfy. Male and female restrooms with 3 toilet stalls and 3 shower stalls each. And on the floor with the dorms was a lounge with a sofa and a tv. The best part? They leave the a.c. remote in the room, so if you come back for a break mid-day, you're able to cool down. Very close to the night market and a short walk to the park. Overall, a great place to stay.”

“This is our first trip in Krabi. When we booked this hotel, we don’t know whether this place is near / far from the city/some market. Lucky for us that this hotel is near from anywhere; from airport, night market, and many more. We really enjoy our time when we stay in here, not just because the place is near from anywhere and we got the cheap price, but also because the room is clean, the toilet is in OK condition and the owner is very kind and helpful. The owner happy to talk with everyone who stays in their hotel. Talk about everything in Thai/suggest about something. So, if we can come again to Krabi, we wanna stay in here again.”

“Good price. Perfect location in Krabi Town. Near to 7eleven, night market and morning market. Even close to the pier of boat transport to Railay bay. Clean. Jane (owner) is perfect - superfriendly and eanglish speaking which is almost rare in Thailand 😊. 250thb for scooter in good technical condition. Hope to come back sometimes. ”

“Staff is super nice and helpful Rooms are bigs and you really have a lot of privacy A lot of toilets and showers, very big and clean and on top of that outside the rooms which is perfect breakfast is included Location is 20 min walk from the beach but with plenty of cheap a local restaurants and without the crowd of tourists and noise that comes with it you can still rent a scooter directly from the hostel for 200 baths ( 5 euros )”

“A little bit outside of Krabi town and hard to find. Other than that the beds are nice and clean. Every bed has an electrical outlet, a light, and really thick curtains that block out the light really well. Great place to stay if you want to be a little far out from the city. I was the only person there for 2 nights. The pictures on Agoda aren't representative of the place and the Agoda address is actually wrong too. It's spelled Chaokhun road and is near The White Pearl. Lady who takes care of the place is the shop owner on the right of the hostel.”

“You get more than you pay for at Baan Nisarine, literally. Free coffee is available downstairs and there's a book exchange - though sadly it reads as though people are just stealing them. Yes it says you must drink all your coffee if you pour it but a) no one is checking and b) why pour one if you don't intend to drink it? The staff were friendly and welcoming. We stayed in 503, so had to climb five flights of stairs but if you go to the tiger temple those five flights will seem like nothing! The place is a little rough around the edges. We had to share a bathroom, which wasn't mentioned in the listing and came as a surprise, but it was never a problem and the Baan Nisarine had the best power shower we came across in Thailand. The location is good. Very central to what few things there is in Krabi Town (which isn't much). We walked to the night market, which a helpful staff member pointed us to, and also took a long tail to Railay from the pier just around the corner. The place is very secure. Night staff are available but the front door is also locked (you're given a key so it isn't a deadline of be home before x time or else). Room 503 is huge. The fan still reaches the bed though if you lock it in position. There are window grills to stop bugs so you can have the windows open but my girlfriend was covered in bites after night one (I was fine though). Room 503 is at the front so it is loud, busy road below. I slept but I had a broken sleep from what seemed like an all night rave a few buildings along. I'd recommend the Baan to anyone who is staying in Krabi Town. It's cheap, cheerful and has a good location. There's a 7/11 over the road but you're not allowed to eat in the rooms. There's a lot of rules but I guess the Baan is aimed at low cost travelling youngsters. thank you for a pleasant stay Baan.”

“I book good tours with thèmes because the y expulsion me everything that Was the Best. Very interested to satisfait you.”

“We stayed here for only a night and already felt like home. The owners are super helpful and even help send items back to me when I forget them. It's hard to find trustworthy advice about onward travel and Amy went beyond the call of duty to help us and others find reliable transport options. We felt like we were safe in good hands. It was great talking to them about their experience running the hostel. Some bits and pieces are still unfinished in this place, but their invaluable advice and care made those issues easy to overlook. Also the location is great to explore the Islands as its close to the pier and easy to travel to other destinations in the area. I would definitely stay here again.”

“Great place to stay to discover the area. The owners are very helpful and will organise your tours and onward travel.”

“ love this place... very near to aonang beach”

“This was our first time traveling in the Krabi / PhiPhi / Railay area and we booked a different night at each hotel. We found a good deal on Rayavadee and decided to splurge for one of the nights. It far exceeded our expectations and it was the best place we've ever stayed in Thailand. The facilities and staff were great, the bungalow felt like a nice house with the room being upstairs, food was good - but the scenery is the best part. It was hard to stay at other hotels after this because nothing else can come close.”

“Before going to Krabi I read a lot of reviews (including TripAdvisor) and was amazed at the number of negative reviews. Main complaints were: shaky pier, hazardous walkway, expensive food, lack of service, unfriendly non-English speaking staff, slow drainage in the bath, to name a few. After being there I would say that we have been in a completely different place with good service, excellent food, clean rooms, etc.There some limitations which result from hotel's locations, for example the walkway - but it is like climbing up and down the stairs - no difficulty at all (I have not read a single review with complaint on central stairs of the resort - going from lobby to rooms in the upper raw - and that stairs are steeper than the walkway.) The main problem of the hotel is that some arriving guests do not quite understand where they are going and specifics of the hotel's isolated location - insufficient information both on website and on spot like it is done say in Ravadeeya for example.The hotel's prices are 2-3 times higher than in Ao Nang, but you definitely get the quality of services and food for that money. Quality of service is much higher than in most European, Mediterranean 5 star resorts, not to mention the UK and can be compared to other 5 star resorts in Thailand. The hotel in my opinion definitely lacks a proper lobby bar.”

“I participated in the Krabi International Half Marathon in September 2019, & planned the weekend around this. We were delighted with every aspect of our stay. Most impressive are the magnificent expansive grounds of the hotel, surely reflecting the fact that in the 1990s, land this far out of the Ao Nang tourism center was cheap. Wherever possible, the architects sought to protect the existing landscape, so there are mangroves with oyster populations flourishing along the banks. Elsewhere there are benches overlooking quit lotus ponds. And best of all, the loungers under the pine trees above the beach, with exquisite views out towards the islands in Phang Nga Bay. The beach is pure white sand, well maintained by the hotel, which appears to clean it every morning. The rooms are excellent, spacious and with tiled floors - ideal for beach resorts. The bathrooms have separate showers and bath tubs. One small suggestion: please upgrade sockets by adding USB chargers.”

“The service at the Nakamanda is quite good compared to other hotels in Krabi. Staff are very accommodating, honest, and friendly. Compared to some other Krabi hotels the view from the Nakamanda is not fantastic, but if you spend some time on a boat or kayak tour, you will see great views so not to worry. The spa is absolutely wonderful and we spent at least an hour there each day. wish it could be longer! Pool is large and well maintained, very clean, chlorinated. Restaurant not bad, facing the beach, quite tasty, but not too fancy. Extensive wine list. Breakfast ok with fruit, cereal, congee, egg stand, pastries, hot meat, thai noodles. Rooms are spacious with large comfy beds, aircon, well equipped bathrooms, a safe to store valuables, beach bag, sandals, umbrellas, slippers, robes, electric kettle, daily mineral water, free wi-fi, and multi-EU/US plugs. There is also a nice sala veranda with a table, towel rack to dry swimwear, and a large futon cushion. Great to relax there, especially with the overhead ceiling fan, and electric bug killer. Bring bug spray while outside! There seems to be lots to do around Krabi including boat tours, kayaking, fishing, snorkeling, diving, elephant tours, etc. Some of it is easily accessed right off the hotel's beach front. If you get bored, you can visit the hotels next door which are larger resorts and bigger restaurants. The negatives were 1) we had no hot water, perhaps an oversight that can be easily repaired 2) despite a LARGE bathroom, there was no privacy in the toilet 3) not too many restaurant or shop choices in Klong Muang but you can easily travel by taxi to Ao Nang, albeit the hotel car transfer is quite expensive at 500 bht each way. Mosquito nets over the beds would be nice too. Overall we enjoyed our short stay, and I would recommend the hotel for its good value and privacy.”

“Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort is around 40 minutes’ drive from the airport. When we arrived at the hotel, was given luxurious welcoming greetings with a cold drink and face cloth. From Bellman, F&B Staff, Housekeeping to Receptionist all were polite and helpful and most importantly each and every member of the ream keeps a very good smile on the face. First expression was 'wow' when Front Office Ping handled our checking in. Ping explained the hotel facilities with warm heart and allocated us to Room 319 closer to the beach side of the resort. We checked in quickly and were shown to our room and around the complex by a female receptionist (a small build, wish I could recollect her name). The room was enormous and kept very clean by the hard working of Housekeeping team. It had a big sitting area which led onto a good sized verandah overlooking the pool, gardens and sea. The sunset view from the balcony was picture perfect! The bathroom very well equipped with separate shower and bath. 2 free bottles of water every day were most needed. We were very happy with our room. Everything in this resort was grand. The pool was huge, the rooms were big, the staff was friendly, the lobby, the restaurant, and everything was perfect. Hotel is very clean. The resort is so beautiful and quiet. The breakfast had an amazing choice and the food was delicious plenty choice: omelets/pancake stations, fresh juices, cereals, yogurts, salad bar, bacon and eggs at Maya Restaurant. The F&B & Culinary staff were happy to serve you. We did not experience any problems during our stay. This is by far the best property I have ever visited in Thailand that you just wouldn't want to check out. I really recommending this resort and the service is so superb! It is a truly 5-stars resort in Krabi!!! Will stay there again for our next trip.”

“The hotel is located around 30-40 mins drive from the airport. Around 15 mins drive to Aonang town. Hotel provides daily shuttle to and fro anonang town and krabi Town. Th e hotel is quiet and beautiful. But not very suitable for too young kids. Couples or kids at age 6 above is better. Basic continental breakfast. Lots of activities provided by the hotel that u won’t feel bored if u choose not to go out for fun. Very near to the zip line fun park which only 2 mins drive. My son enjoyed it so much. Yet, I enjoyed the quiet and friendly environment of the hotel. Room service is perfect and they kept maintaining my room always in a perfect condition! Highly recommended if u choose to stay in krabi of your next destination!”

“upon we arrive, it was raining nonstop. me and my girlfriend felt a bit disappointed abt the weather until we reach our hotel, the Phulay Bay. Hotel staff are waiting for us at the hotel entrance and prepared tasty lemongrass tea for us to refresh. have to say the service there is absolutely 5 stars. This is the first time that i would like to stay more in the hotel rather than going out for sightseeing. the hotel was designed like a garden, all the layout is just right. they also offer many activity, like yoga on the beach. only the location is not the best, it is a bit far from the town, takes abt 20mins by taxi, but i believe it wont be this nice if it very close to the town, it is the best place to hideaway. The most important thing is my girlfriend loves it a lot, and this is our first trip and we had a fabulous experience at Krabi with Phulay Bay.”

“Everything from start to finish was perfect. Fon picked us from the airport and took us to the villa via the shop to get supplies. The villa itself is breathtaking, the pool is enormous and the view is outstanding... waking up to the view of the limestone cliffs is beyond the infinity pool is like some kind of dream. Fon and all of the staff were amazing. This was our first time in Krabi and Fon helped us out hugely by taking us to restaurants and suggesting other activities. You get 2 free return transfers from the villa each day in the air conditioned van which is extremely handy. We will definitely be returning to Villa Saifon in the future, hopefully with a larger group of people to rent both villas. A massive thank you to everyone at Villa Saifon.”

“My hubby and I together with another couple (our buddies) stayed at the villa recently. It was our 1st time at Krabi. Both the hosts (husband & wife) totally made our trip a memorable one. They were always ready to render help or assistance to us. Being our first time at Krabi and knowing that they are just a call away made our stay there very relaxing and comfortable one. Will definitely choose to stay there again if we are going to visit Krabi again!”

“I must say this resort has my highest rating so far. Everything were excellent. The staffs were friendly especially the manager. She prepared everything we asked for and tried her very best for all the requests we made to make sure were happy during our stay. The pool size is good and clean. The facilities were fantastic and the kitchen equipped with everything. We ordered the dinner with them and they came to cook for us with reasonable price. The food were excellent. Location was not the issue anymore as they provided us transport everyday to the town with no cost. They didn't pay me for this review...nothing complaint so far to be honest. If I plan to go Krabi again, definitely I will go to this resort again.”

“We only stayed at the Beyond Resort for one night in February 2017, but we liked our stay there. PROS: The infinity pool overlooking the private beach is the biggest draw. Unlike other resorts along Klong Muang beach, the beyond resort krabi has its own private beach right in front of the hotel, that is accessible without crossing the road (unlike at the sofitel). The spread at the breakfast buffet is also great, with an omelette bar and both western and eastern-style cuisine. There was a nice evening cocktail HH where drinks were buy 1 get 1 free. At sunset, we were able to walk along the beach past the next hotel to watch the gorgeous sunset. There were also several villas available, some of which had their own private pool, which looked amazing! CONS: Katagroup bills this hotel as a "luxury resort" but after having stayed at several truly luxurious hotels in Thailand, including the Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra down the road, this is not a luxury hotel. The building is built strangely, with eerily quiet, closed-off hallways. The location is stunning but the building itself, although only three years old, is showing some signs of wear and tear. I booked a deluxe seaview room and was initially placed in a room on the side of the hotel, and had to request a room that actually had a view of the sea. While there may be more luxurious hotels in the area, in terms of a price-to-quality ratio, the Beyond Resort Krabi is an excellent choice, particularly for young couples and families.”

“Hi, So my husband and I just returned from our Thailand trip. We stayed fro two days in Krabi. I had booked the room with Golden Beach resort. We arrived at around one and within 10 mins had our room ready. We were given a free upgrade to Private suite which was overlooking the Ao Nang beach. The room was just fabulous and spacious. The staff is very courteous and helpful. in terms of cleanliness it was great. The location is great as I already mentioned, the beach is right in front of your room. the food is also great. There is a nearby market and cheap restaurants offering very good, value for money offring food. you get plenty of vegetarians options as well. All in all a five star to this place.”

“If you are Muslim, please bear in mind that the food isn't halal. It's just NO PORK NO LARD. There aren't vegetarian options as well( ONLY FRUITS AND SALADS). Other than that everything else is perfect. Most of the staffs are friendly and helpful, quite accommodative too. Toothbrush and toothpaste isn't provided. Bedroom slippers are available upon request. On the side note-: If you wish to go to Krabi Town, take the bus from the BUS STOP which is just in front of the hotel as it is convenient and cheaper. Recommendations:- *Don't forget to check out the beautiful mosque down the street as it gets lit at night. *Head down to 89.8 cafe for the best breakfast , brunch and dinner or for the best steak ever at Jenna's. Opposite Ava Sea along subway/MacDonald's. (Non Halal, has Vegetarian options) *For the best cocktails in Krabi head down to the street bar just before the Beach in front of the BUS STOP don't forget to try their passionfruit mojito for only 99Baht. Would definitely stay here again as their location is smack in the center.”

“Arguably, one of the best hotels in Krabi. The photos do not do the place justice. The hotel was new, modern but still with a bit of Thai ambiance. The room and the bathroom were big, even if we only book the cheapest room. View from our room balcony was overwhelming, as you can see the mountains, cliffs and trees beyond the hotel. Breakfast buffet was great as there were a lot of choices. Pool is okay, though, the bigger pool was under maintenance when we were there so we only used the smaller one near the kid's pool. We were not able to use the spa and sauna thou we can access the fitness room which we had to ourselves. Best thing here was the service, the staff were very polite and helpful, they offer free shuttle to the beach as the hotel is a bit far from the beach. Around 10-15 min walk, thought, you would not really feel that it's that far as there are a lot of shops along the street. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again if ever I'm in Krabi.”

“The GLOW Ao Nang Krabi is the great hotel. All staff from reservation bell front desk and house keeper have the best hospitality friendship, especially staff at the breakfast room is excellent. Breakfest is OK. This hotel is quite, good location. However parking places are not sufficient to meet the needs of hotel guests. However, I highly recommend if you visit Krabi, Thailand.”

“If you come from a city and staying in high-rise buildings most of your life, this is a good chance to stay in a kampong-style resort while in Krabi. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the cliff landscape with lush greeneries are captivating, and the place is super clean. With only 25 cottages, you almost feel like you own this kampong paradise. The swimming pool is usually empty, and the breakfast "hut" housed only 3 - 4 other couples. I don't know if it's due to a low September season, but when I booked this resort, I got the last room and all 25 cottages had occupants - still, the area is so quiet and peaceful - maybe everyone left for sunrise. Being the number 1 ranking resort in AoNang, I have to be frank and advise others that if you are looking for a super modern, beach-facing, luxurious resort, then Ban Sainai is not for you. I would not think that this resort will beat the 5-star upscale resorts that has infinity swimming pools (and probably packed as well) but it is certainly a gem in its own right. I didn't have any insect issues - didn't use any of the insect repellent and mozzie wipes! Tips: 1) Book an airport transfer with Ban Sainai at 600Baht if it is your first time in Krabi. It costs the same if you book a "taxi" (well, it's still a private van/car by a private company), so might as well book it with Ban Sainai. 2) Ban Sainai offers free daily tuk-tuk shuttles at specific timings to Ao Nang McDonalds, however, the last pick-up time ends rather early around 9.15pm. 3) You can rent a car (THB1,200/day) or a bike (THB250/day) from the Ban Sainai reception.”

“greeted by friendly staff with a quick and easy check in, once presented with the room we were amazed with the view of the limestone cliffs and wicked pool. the hotel is right the middle of everything that is going on in Aonang. room service was great but a bit difficult to order if English is your first language. mini bar prices were cheaper than mini marts. overall best hotel in Krabi”

“Hotel staff were very polite & helpful, always smiling & greeting us. Provided all the information we needed. Booked island-hopping trips from hotel which were wayy cheaper than the ones online and those we were offered at from the Airport. Arranged transport to & fro the airport via Hotel, driver was punctual. However we were late upon arrival due to flight delay, he waited for us for 3 hours, poor gentleman! Airport is 30 mins away from the hotel. Strategic location, if you wanna be near the beach. 30 mins ride away via Tuk Tuk from Krabi Town (Night Market). Hotel offered a private van to Krabi Town which was definitely cheaper, 200B per pax for 2 but we declined & wanted to experience riding a Tuk Tuk & booked one outside the hotel for 800B (these guys are always hanging out oustide the hotel area) Lots of shops, massage parlours, spa, minimarts & Halal eateries nearby (for Muslims), all walking distance. Hotel does not provide Halal food so we always eat outside. No big deal, even for breakfast, we bought cereals & milk from the 24hrs minimart. Overall, a pleasant stay/trip! Would love to be back again!”

“This was our first trip to Thailand and we stayed at this resort for 5 nights. We were easily able to get a public mini bus from Krabi airport to the hotel and this cost 150 baht per person. On arrival at the hotel (and throughout our stay) the staff were so friendly and welcoming. We stayed in a tree top bungalow which was stunningly beautiful, huge room. I’m not sure I’ll have a bath with a view that good again! The rooms are up a steep hill but there was always a buggy with a friendly driver ready to take us up to our room. Because there’s only about 80 rooms the resort never felt busy and around the pool was always quiet and relaxing. We ate food from the restraunt twice & although the food was pleasant we mainly ate our in ao nang. Best places we found to eat outside of the hotel; jungle kitchen & Kodak kitchen. They do not sell alcohol at the hotel however there is a tesco next door and they were happy for us to bring drinks by the pool and in our room. Memories we will treasure.”

“We decided to spend songkran down at a beach location, and I had never been to Krabi before. When deciding on a Krabi hotel, I wanted a decent sized resort in a central location, that was right on the beach. Krabi Resort ticked all those boxes. When I arrived, I quickly determined that I had picked the optimal resort for the area as Krabi resort was the most centrally located, and one of only a very few that had direct access to the beach. The reason is the resort is one of the originals for the area, but the over the years it has expanded a lot, meaning you can choose between a lot of accommodation options, eg hotel style rooms, or semi detached rooms, to fully detached villas with their own private pool. The resort itself is large and they drive you to your room after you check in. Facilities include two pool areas (one done like a pirate ship), a fantastic gym, large scale chess board with pieces set up, multiple restaurants, mini golf, bicycles for rent, beach, massage etc.”

“the best hotel. All the staff are great n friendly very welcoming too. Ms Kai was the first Sugar Marina staff whom attended to us, couldnt remember when was the first time then. Her friendlinest and warmth has made us come back for the 2nd time and so on through our 3rd and 4th stay. There was a thoughts to change and try out other hotel in Krabi but our heart still fall for Sugar Marina Cliffhanger and ended up we chose to stay here again. Last month we went to Phuket and stayed at Sugar Marina Nautical in Kata beach. it was nice too. My partner and me love our stay there in Phuket, but we still love and njoy more in Sugar Marina in Krabi. We just love Krabi so much. We will coming back for Krabi for our short gateway as and when we can. Thank you Krabi and Sugar Marina Cliff hanger for the wonderful moments and great stay. Hope your business will always prosperous n bless.”

“I would given a 5 star if the TV is working (though Hotel Staffs explain the fault is at the service provider). My room is facing an under-construction building but does not really bother; we spend the days on snorkeling / island hopping and around Krabi. Hotel staffs are friendly and polite throughout my stay. Halal restaurant is within reach. Hotel is located somewhere it is easy access to Aonang beach and Muslim street, eitherway is 10mins walk. I will definitely return to Bluesotel if i visit Krabi in future.”

“Location, Value + a great Spa are the outstanding features of this hotel. Our first impression was somewhat spoilt by the fact some building work was happening so the front of the hotel was a bit untidy. Check In was quick and efficient. During our stay the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was plentiful and in a beautiful location overlooking the beach. The room lack hanging or shelving for clothes and bags. The towels were a bit threadbare and I felt the aircon could have been better. It was very hot in Krabi and we had to leave the aircon on so our room would be sufficiently cool when coming back in the afternoon. Our room was facing the west which got the afternoon sun. However everything else in the room was good with the usual safe, tv, fridge etc. A nice touch is that they supplied some spa products for the guests to try. The bath in the room is strange but was it was okay. We used it for our dirty clothes and hanging things on. The most outstanding feature of this hotel is the spa. I had two treatments and they were both excellent and good value. As mentioned the hotel location was excellent. In the middle of town so next to restaurants, shopping and the main attraction across a small access road to the beach. The hotel also had a tour booth and could organise transfers etc. There are a lot of accommodation choices in Krabi and you could get cheaper elsewhere but the hotel was nicely furnished and the staff were good. The pool runs thru the hotel and is long and narrow. A bit warm but so was the sea as it was very hot. There was also another pool up the stairs and this was more private. We had a nice night swim and drink one night and had the pool to ourselves. We have stayed at another more expensive hotel in krabi and would stay again at Phra Nang as stated in the intro location, value and spa were top notch. Will recommend this hotel to my friends.”

“the hotel it self amazing , but the location really i dont know where were we that night hahahahaha since we arrive from bkk , my freinds were very confused at night like there's nothing to do at night the area so calm and no night life only few markets and message places .. so that was my only night at krabi and the next day we rent a car and drove to phuket ... maybe next time we will really find more things to do in krabi.. btw i should say it the girls at reception are truly friendly and helpful and smile all the time.. overall it was a rest night from the bkk jam”

“sunrise tropical rsort krabi< thailand me and my husband had gone to thailand and we planned to visit krabi for its beautiful locations and water sports activity. we chose railay as our location for stay. railay is certainly one of the best place in thailand with beautiful beach and intricately carved lime stone hills and caves. we stayed at sunrise tropical rsort at railay. this is wonderful resort equipped with ultramodern luxuries. the towels and linen provided was of high quality and the morning breakfast had everything to offer that a five star hotel can offer. the hotel is a real luxury and very good deal for the price you pay. air condition had individual control of ac temperature and air flow in each room. the entire hotel is maintained neat and clean. the linen and towels provided are spotlessly clean and of good quality. the staff at hotel was found to be very efficient and courteous. overall the place gets very high ratings and i would recommend any traveller to consider sunrise tropical rsort as one of the option available. the best feature we liked was that boat to krabi was available just outside the hotel and it took less than a minute to check out and catch the boat.”

“I booked an impromptu trip to Krabi to destress with my partner. Found Andakiri and was intrigued by the location and view. Had a good time in this secluded by near to Aonang. We soaked ourselves in our private pool and enjoy the beautiful and breathtaking sceneries. The property provides shuttle to Aonang and last shuttle back at 10.10pm. We missed the last shuttle one night and called the hotel to pick us up as we were being ripped off by the street taxi for $300 baht. The hotel charge u a $50 baht per person and we were picked up immediately. This saved us the trouble to haggling with the taxis. We rent a bike at the hotel for $300 baht per day. This is so convenient as we need to worry to send back the bike to any rental shop but at the comfort of the hotel. The food menu pricing a little pricey but if fo to Aonang, you can get nice good meals at a decent price. Staff were polite and nice. We enjoyed our short getaway very much and has already recommended to our friends.”

“We loved our stay at Pakasai. It exceeded our expectations in every aspect. The resort is set in magnificent gardens on the side of a hillside, wIth accommodation privately set amongst the gardens. We had a huge room with very comfortable bed and lovely large bathroom and balcony. The buffet breakfast was of very high quality and variety and the chance to order your eggs 'as you like'. Staff are all very friendly, warm and welcoming. The location is a short walk to both beaches where we enjoyed swimming in the clear blue water. If you don't want to venture out, the pool is lovely. We plan to return - we really enjoyed the experience at this hotel in Krabi.”

“Hotel is in very good location. Good facilities. Friendly staff. Breakfast buffet was ok. If you want to book any activities go to the street agencies and bargain-do not use "package" offer-more expensive and less quality. For the best place to eat-look at Trip adviser. If you want to visit other islands-super convenient place; just 3 min walking distance from hotel to the ticket office to rent long-tail boat. Ao Nang beach is not the best beach in Krabi, so get the boat and go to Railay. 5 min from Ao Nang. Also tickets are cheap. From Railay you can get a kayak boat for a few hundreds (two people) and explore the rocks, caves, and go snorkelling where are less people. Small tip: get watermelon to attract some fishes!!;) Overal: very happy about location, hotel and activities in Krabi!! P.s. Do not stay in small islands - it's boating, unless you look for peace.”

“We ended up here after a lot of bouncing around Southern Thailand for a wedding. It's a beautiful, comfortably place in a quiet, young outpost of Krabi. It's about a 10 minute walk to the beach on West Raliay and 5 to the best beach in the area via a short paved trail on the south west. You can't swim on this side of the island, but there's a lot more going on, and the pool and rooms are so incredibly comfortable, it's worth it. Definitely stay here if you have a chance, a short jump from Krabi or Ao Nang and so much nicer.”

“If you are looking for the hotel in Krabi which is the room as shown on the photos, this is the one. The hotel staff welcomed us well on our arrival and welcoming drinks and wet towels are provided. After checked in, we are brought to our room which is as shown on the booking website. It is really spacious, clean and comfortable. The highlight is the swimming pool which directly connected to our room Balcony (Deluxe Room with Pool Access). Due to the location of the hotel in the middle of nowhere, there are free shuttle every 2 hours (started 10am - 9pm) from hotel dropping at some attraction spot like Aonang Beach. If you prefer to go somewhere further like Krabi town, tiger and etc, the staff are willing to assist you in getting your transportation. During our stay, we are well greeted and with sweet smile from front desk manager all the way down the house keeping staff. We will be definitely going back there on our next trip to Krabi.”

“Cliff Beach is a really good value for the money. By Western standards it would be a 3-4 star hotel. In Krabi it was really helpful to stay at this kind of place because the staff was very willing to help out with booking the various kinds of trips that travelers come to Ao Nang to take. These are generally booked through an agency anyway (who charters their own boat in Thailand?) so why not have it at a convenient location you can get to by just rolling out of bed? The weather was unpredictable when we were there so it was nice to have a comfortable, DRY! home base that we could retreat to. They also make sure that there are always fresh bottles of water in your room. How sweet. Definitely try the drinks but avoid the creepy in-house "Activity Director"/Muay Thai instructor.”

“This hotel is the 1st stop for our trip to Krabi. We decided to land ourselves on Railey west for the sunset view on day 1 out of the 4 days we had. The railey west beach is surrounded with absolutely stunning landscapes, this hotel adds on more to the already beautiful view. The garden setting alone deserves a landscape award. We had the pleasure of watching frogs leaping from lotus leave to another on the ponds while huge koi fishes swim around beneath the waters. Walking to back to our room was always enjoyable within the highly crafted greenery. Within the room it is the biggest room we have encountered in Krabi. While we wish the toilet was a little cleaner, just a few stains at the shower area didn't break the deal at all for us. I opted for the ground floor which opens to the swimming pool directly. Just mesmerizing views even in the waters without the ocean. Evening sunsets at railey west are stunning. We had a late dinner on Railey east where a small density of F&B opens up the option for choices definitely on the plainer sight of things compared to Aonang while being enjoyable nonetheless. Sunrise at railey east was enjoyable while the low tide allowed us to walk further to the edge. Infact sunrise was more enjoyable than sunset comparatively. Phranang cave and beach within walking distance from the hotel was the hidden gem for the trip. Back at the hotel the breakfast was quite decent, banana pancakes were superb. Overall very good services from the friendly staff, when we hop on to the long tail departing Railey my other half said she was missing railey already. Railey echoes a semi private beach thanks to the access by boat only, there are always less people here. I highly recommend Railay village resort it is the best looking hotel among those along the same beach only bettered.”

“The best hotel in Krabi, clean, modern and very comfortable. Ended up extending my stay here and returned again with my sister! Staff are lovely and a generally relaxed vibe about the hotel. Lots of dogs barking at night time, so earplugs came in handy! :) Would definitely recommend ”

“Maneetel Krabi is a new hotel, which is not a bad thing among a little "worn out" resorts, that seem to be a "norm" at Ao Nang. Breakfast is reasonable and they try to change it a bit on daily basis. Personnel is relatively young and inexperienced, but they try their best. Location about 1 km away from central Ao Nang is just perfect, close enough to go there for dinner or shopping but away from the worst "hulabalo". Nice bars and restaurants are close by. Pool is well maintained and beach is close (even though on low tide the waterline is rather far away). Try to get pool access room with sea view, it is great. A bit small, but nothing beats the possibility to dip in the pool directly from your room. Bed is very good.”

“We booked this hotel as a getaway and a relaxing place for us to stay after we are done with doing all the enjoyable activities in Krabi (island hopping and such). The hotel is a bit far from the beach area but they do provide shuttle bus to go there. We enjoyed our stay there that's for sure. The staffs were all helpful and very nice. We only had some issues with the cleanliness but it wasn't too bad so hopefully the management can improve on that.”

“We don't check out until tomorrow (currently sitting in our own cottage in paradise) but for those who are considering this hotel, I wanted to save you your time. Stop over thinking and BOOK IT already!! This is my first time in Thailand so I wanted everything to be perfect, I planed for months. Comparing different hotels back and fourth. I can't even express how happy I am that we not only chose Krabi instead of Phuket but that we chose to stay at the Peace Laguna Resort. Everything about this resort is incredible!! We chose the private cottage that sits on top of the lagoon. It is absolutely beautiful!!!! Killer mountain views, private dock with comfortable lawn chairs, outdoor shower, jacuzzi tub (great water pressure), great AC, stunning interior layout and a comfortable bed. I'm posting a ton of pictures below because describing it just wouldn't be the same. The location is wonderful, it's so close to the beach, we walk there every morning and night . The resort setting is perfect for any occasion including a wedding. There are multiple pools (our favorite was the pool right next to the bar) that have mountain views, The restaurant has delicious food and the staff are extremely friendly; especially the Manager, Ann, she and her staff are highly attentive and know great English. The pool closes at 7:00pm, we were in the mood for a quick dip and a cocktail around 6:40 but knowing that a majority of resorts/hotels would of said no, we decided to ask one of the employees if it was OK. They happily said yes and the cocktail was ready quickly and delicously, we had a Mai Tai (highly recommend this drink). The resort is right next to tons of amazing restaurants that are also vegan friendly; massages, tours, bars, markets and exceptionally lovely shops that you can buy souvenirs at. The resort, too, offers all of the above which is how we booked our tours and massages. If you have already booked this hotel, can I just say you have made the right choice!! Enjoy p”

“We enjoyed our stay in Krabi. The L Resort is situated opposite Ao Nang Beach on the main tourist stretch. We stayed for 3 nights in a 2 bedroom premier suite with a sea view. The suite was very spacious and clean and the staff were helpful and very polite.
