Hotele Beach w: Krabi Province, Thailand

Overall, it was an amazing stay. We started our vacation here and liked it so much that we decided to extend our vacation and come back after our stay at our second hotel! The hotel definitely has its charm, nice pools and stunning views. Just don’t expect too much from this 4-star hotel, as it is dated and many facilities and interiors require renovation. The breakfast selection was quite limited, especially for European tastes and children. Most options were Asian-style dishes, with no alternatives apart from omelets and fruit. The beach restaurant was rather pricey, so we usually ate at another restaurant further down the beach, which was delicious and better value for money. What made our stay wonderful was our 2-bedroom beachfront pool villa, the calm sea, and, of course, the people. We also celebrated our wedding anniversary with a private beachfront dinner, which was an incredible and delicious experience. 1. The villa The huge villa gave our family of four two bedrooms, a private pool big enough to swim in, and beautiful, tranquil Tubkaek beach right at our doorstep. It was exactly what I was looking for! It was very well equipped, especially the kitchen, with a large refrigerator, microwave, and plenty of tableware. The beds were quite firm, but the pillows were comfortable enough for me. The towels, however, were noticeably old and worn and could definitely use replacing. A new hotel was being built on the neighboring property. Although our villa was at the edge of the resort on that side, the construction didn’t bother us or disturb the tranquility. The location is very peaceful and secluded, but there was no infrastructure nearby - 7-11, currency exchange, laundry services, etc. - you will need a taxi or car to get around. 2. The people and service The staff were great. I’d especially like to highlight the Reservations Manager, Tohn (Pornpimon Inchan), who was very helpful and patient with all my advance inquiries (I had quite a few 😅) and did everything possible to make things happen. Laan was another great employee: incredibly friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond. We felt very welcomed by him throughout both stays and he helped us with everything we needed or asked for. He was also our personal assistant at the private dinner and made those special moments even better with his thoughtful, proactive attitude and kind smile. A few things, however, could be improved. Communication in English was sometimes challenging, as quite a few staff members, including some at reception, had rather limited English. The Wi-Fi in our villa was poor. I was told new equipment needed to be installed and was offered another villa, but moving wasn’t an option for us. When we returned 11 days later, the Wi-Fi had not improved, so I used mobile internet instead. Housekeeping was flawless during our first stay. During our second, however, our villa wasn’t serviced one day after we put up the “Please make up my room” sign. We eventually asked for fresh towels and water, but initially received towels for two instead of four. I expected more attention to detail in the hotel’s most expensive villa. The villa also showed its age in places. I liked having separate air-conditioning units in each room, but they were quite noisy, all the doors were rather squeaky, some appliances were dated, and there were a couple of leaks. I reported some of these issues at check-out and asked maintenance to check and fix the villa before our return. However, 11 days later nothing had been fixed, although they knew we were returning to the same villa and it had been empty for at least one day. Without these relatively minor maintenance issues, the villa would have been pretty much perfect for us. That said, none of this changed how much we enjoyed our stay. The villa, incredible beachfront setting, and, above all, some truly wonderful people made our time at Anyavee Tubkaek Beach Resort very special — special enough for us to come back.

Good location in front of sea , The breakfast is very good and plentiful. Luggage storage is available. The villa is clean, spacious, and well-equipped with many amenities. The disappointing part is that they do not respond to emails. I had requested to use their car and shuttle service, but my message was never read or addressed. I booked through Trip.com, which forwarded my request directly to the hotel.

We stayed at Royal Nakara with our infant, and the experience was wonderful. The staff were incredibly accommodating and always ready to help. The hotel also has a lovely pool, and its location is convenient—close to the night market and other tourist areas. We truly enjoyed our stay.

There is breakfast, it is a case, the environment is very good, very feeling, very quiet, the beach is beautiful, the sunset is super beautiful, the hotel rents a motorcycle is very convenient, 250 plants solve the traffic problem one day.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Amazing Stay at Sofitel Krabi We have had the most wonderful stay at Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Resort. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome, and the whole experience has been absolutely fantastic. The resort itself is beautiful — peaceful, luxurious and surrounded by stunning scenery. The grounds are immaculate, the swimming pool is incredible, and there is such a relaxing atmosphere throughout the entire hotel. It really feels like a true escape. The staff deserve a special mention. Everyone we have encountered has been incredibly friendly, helpful and attentive, always greeting us with a smile and going out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. The service has genuinely made such a difference. Our room was lovely, comfortable and spacious, and the whole resort is exceptionally clean and well maintained. There is a real attention to detail that you would expect from Sofitel. The breakfast is also excellent, with a great choice of food and something for everyone. However, there were not many vegetarian options available, so it would be wonderful to see a wider selection of vegetarian dishes. This is only a small point, though, and certainly didn’t spoil our stay. Overall, we have absolutely loved our time here. Sofitel Krabi is a beautiful resort with wonderful staff, excellent facilities and a genuinely relaxing atmosphere. We would happily return and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a special stay in Krabi. Thank you to the whole team for making our holiday so memorable. ❤️🌴✨ A truly beautiful hotel and a fantastic experience — 5 stars from us! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This hotel was beautiful and although we visited in low season it did not disappoint. Breakfast was amazing and had everything you could think of, especially the English breakfast tea! As we visited in low season, a lot of restaurants nearby, including the walking street market, were closed. However we managed to find some really lovely spots: Chef Chalong (just opposite the entrance), L. Maladee (a short 3 minute walk around the corner) and Sea, Sand, Soul (a 10 minute tuktuk). We also enjoyed a buy 1 get 1 free Thai massage which was very much enjoyed! The grounds and hotel itself is beautiful and we really enjoyed the slow pace of the island. Would definitely return!

We stayed at Pakasai for 3 days and 2 nights, and I have to start by mentioning the service. From check-in all the way through check-out, Hakim, Kik & Kor were fantastic. They walked us through the hotel and explained everything in the room, and they even had our room ready an hour before the official check-in time. Everything was handled very efficiently and they made us feel very well taken care of throughout our stay. The main area I think could be improved is the breakfast. The hotel itself is very convenient and we enjoyed our stay, but for a 4-star hotel, I expected a little more attention to the breakfast quality and setup. To be specific, the Koko Krunch-style cereal tasted more like a generic/no-brand cereal, and the drinks at the counter had ice tubes in them but still weren’t particularly cold. The bread basket where the sourdough was kept also couldn’t be closed properly, and there was an opening underneath it, so we noticed small fruit flies around and inside the bread area. The butter was also placed over at the fruit section rather than near the bread and toaster, which was quite an odd setup and not very convenient. The waffles were made in advance, so unfortunately they had already become soggy by the time we took them. The sausages actually tasted really good, but they were extremely salty. These may sound like small things individually, but I think improving them would make quite a big difference to the overall breakfast experience. A few other things we noticed during our stay: The hotel does have quite a lot of mosquitoes during the rainy season. It would be really helpful to provide mosquito repellent spray in each room, especially during this period. We also had some trouble with the hot water when it was raining, as the water wasn’t consistently hot. For Room 1519 specifically, I would recommend checking the sliding-door lock. We couldn’t figure out how to properly lock it despite trying multiple times with the key card. It might also be helpful for staff to explain how the sliding-door locking system works during the room walkthrough, as it wasn’t very intuitive. Lastly, the toiletries/soap are secured inside the bathroom, while the bathtub is outside. This makes it quite inconvenient if you want to use the soap or shower gel while using the outdoor bathtub. It would make much more sense to have an additional set accessible near the bathtub. Overall, we still had a very pleasant stay, and the service from Hakim, Kik & Kor was definitely the highlight. The staff were warm, attentive and efficient. I think with a few improvements to the breakfast experience and some of these smaller room details, the overall experience could be much better and more in line with what you would expect from a 4-star resort.

Beautiful resort outside of town - the pool and almost private beach was amazing! The room was very spacious and had really nice amenities (good aircon, TV with online streaming, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion). The housekeeping would come daily if you wished and replenish the water, coffee, towels and sheets - if you didn’t want them to come in, they would still deliver water and toilet paper for you. The staff were always very friendly and helpful if you needed anything. The breakfast was good, as it wasn’t busy season you could pick from a variety of western or Thai dishes from a special menu. The gym was well equipped and they had a free pool table, along with an onsite massage and restaurant (we didn’t eat at the restaurant, we opted to walk around the corner to the local restaurants, which had nice Thai and some western food). Things to keep in mind ~ the resort is very far away from the main areas (no nearby 7-Eleven or connivence store). They don’t have Grab on the island, so you will need to hire a scooter if you come without transport should you wish to go anywhere. The resort has onsite scooter hire for 1 hour, 12 hours and 24 hours. They also picked us up from town when we arrived which was amazing, but to get back into town for departure was 500 baht. Due to it being monsoon season, they weren’t offering the kayaks to be taken out. They did let you borrow a snorkel and mask if you wanted to go snorkelling. Overall it was absolutely lovely and made for a really relaxing stay ✨

I will be honest, I was put off for a long time because of the reviews I saw on other websites as well as this one. But I decided to give this place a chance and come with my family all the way from Bangkok. And we absolutely loved it. The service was nothing like mentioned, cleanliness was at standard. We paid breakfast at the counter for 200 baht, that was worth the price. We Absolutely Loved it here and will come back during Christmas again. Their art pieces are also amazing to look at.

I absolutely love this hotel and highly recommend it! As a Ctrip Gold Diamond member, I'm quite good at choosing rooms! All the drinks and snacks in the room are complimentary! They even provide extra bottles of water! The breakfast quality is excellent, super delicious, even better than the Holiday Inn next door! I'll definitely stay here again next time. Service: The service here is fantastic, the staff are all very nice and always smiling. Facilities: The pools are great for swimming, there are several, and even a slide, which the kids absolutely loved. The massages are also very good and not expensive, and the therapists are skilled. Hygiene: The hygiene is excellent, very clean. Even the trash cans are spotless, with no hidden dirty spots. The management is very professional. Although the room is a bit older, it's very clean and comfortable!
