Traveling to Thailand? Find Krabi hotels

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.

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.

We booked the hotel with Agoda.com - including a free upgrade to a privacy cottage. I wouldnt recommend paying extra for a beach facing villa because you are facing the pool then the beach so you dont get any privacy in your room - privacy cottages are set back a little, we were in room 9004 which was on West Railay as the numbers get higher you are heading to East Railay which isnt as nice. If you read any comments about the staff then i would ignore them - i would say that the island has mixed cultures from the surrounding countries. The thai people are lovely and yes some of the other staff that work their are little abrupt but i would ignore it We got to the hotel via traveling from Krabi airport to ao nang via taxi (500bhart) and then longtail boat to west Railay - be aware of low tide and having to wade out in the sea with bags - it cost 100 bhart each and goes when 8 or more people were ready. Recommend only looking at hotels on West Railay if you want the beautiful scenery - hence why East railay is cheaper and to be honest smells with sewage. The tide goes at lunch leaving a muddy shore behind. I think this part of the island is the trade entrance for the hotels. Boat ride from Railay to Krabi 45mins longtail boat - nothing really worth visiting in the town - would suggest Ao Nang for shopping and if you need western shops this is your place. Hired a longtail boat for half a day 1600 bhart - island hoping around chicken island and Pra Nang Beach worth exploring - Ko Phi Phi is at least 2.30hrs away via longtail boat. Rayavadee Hotel is a must for dinner for at least 1 night - it is one of the top 100 places to stay in the world and whilst it is expensive to sleep their the restaurant is good value - you pay about £30 for wine compared to about £10 back home but to be honest we were sick of Singha beer towards the end of our tip. I would say that the Railay Bay resort which is next door to Rayavadee is the second best hotel on the Island es

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. Pros: Good, well priced airport transfer in hotels own vehicle. 10% discount on food and drinks in the adjoined Wanas Place restaurant. Cons: WiFi a bit slow (like most hotels in Krabi)

This is a second time in Thailand for business trip but this is a first time in Krabi. When I arrived in Krabi Thai village it was stunning by view and location. The staffs in the resort absolutely friendly and professional. Deluxe room was big with a nice bathroom and the most comfortable bed. The balcony is great and spacious. I'm lucky to have starry night. LOL!! . Breakfast was so so so fab!! Their fried rice is out of this world :) Cross finger, My next holiday I will come again with my family.
