Krabi Town Hotels with Gym

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.

The overall service was good, breakfast was delicious, and the room amenities were nice. However, there are a few areas for improvement based on our experience: 1. Cleanliness: We found that our toilet seat had not been cleaned prior to our arrival. 2. Delayed Request: Upon check-in around 15:00, we requested a fan for our room. We were out for the entire day, but when we returned late that night, the fan had not been delivered. We had to call reception to request it a second time. 3. Missing Amenities: On our checkout date, we asked for access to a shower or changing area following a tour. Reception kindly directed us to the rooftop pool showers and assured us that amenities would be provided, so we didn't bring our own. However, when we went to use the facilities, no amenities were available. Most of these issues stem from communication gaps and could be handled better. That said, the location was great and made commuting into town very convenient.

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!

We got an upgraded room, which included a bathtub on the balcony. The hotel's environment, facilities, and cleanliness were all excellent. However, the hotel's day tours and restaurants were quite expensive, and there were no other dining options nearby, which was a bit inconvenient.

The hotel service was great! For a room rate of just over 200, what more could you ask for? The hotel itself is a bit old, and the first floor was quite damp, but everything else was good. Especially the front desk staff and the bellhops were very kind. They even helped us take our luggage to the pier without any extra charge, which was really thoughtful. Phi Phi Island is beautiful and definitely worth staying a few days. The Ae Fish BBQ near the hotel was delicious, and there are so many cats on Phi Phi Island!

If you’re in much need of a holiday and don’t wish to worry about organising activities and finding a group of people to travel with, Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf and Spa Resort is the perfect place. There are numerous activities organised by the Resort which one can enjoy solo. I enjoyed Thai boxing and snorkelling for the first time. The meals offered by the resort were simply exquisite. I would describe the breakfast as a utopia…it was incredibly amazing and luxurious. Those in the activities team took good care of the excursion group, even helped with snorkelling for the first time. Everything felt safe, food was bountiful and I was able to enjoy new experiences… it was simply the perfect stay!

Amazing hotel! The rooms are clean, and housekeeping tidies up daily; if anything was left a bit messy, they neatly fold it. We had a room with direct access to a small pool. The staff are friendly; if they see you with bags, they offer to take you to your room in a golf cart. Breakfasts are varied, with stunning views of the Krabi mountains. I'm adding this hotel to my favorites!

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.

STUNNING ROOMS & ECO-EFFICIENCY VS. A FILTHY, DANGEROUS POOL NIGHTMARE! (2/5 Stars)There is a shocking, unbelievable contrast in this hotel! While the room quality, the housekeeping staff, and the eco-friendly room concept are absolutely outstanding, the resort management completely fails when you step outside, delivering a loud, highly dangerous, and unhygienic health hazard.The Room & Eco-Concept are absolute Perfection (10/5 Stars): To be completely fair, the room itself deserves 10 stars. It is very spacious, smells amazing, and was excellently clean. The beds are super comfortable, and the mattresses/pillows are top-notch. The bathroom is huge, and the balcony is very cute. What I highly respect and love is their environment-friendly concept: They completely avoid single-use plastic waste. Toiletries are in large, refillable dispensers, and complimentary daily water is provided in sustainable glass bottles. They even have a ”My Green Day” program to skip room cleaning to save water and chemicals. This eco-policy is fantastic and exactly what I support!The Disappointing Towel Double-Standard: While the room focuses on saving resources, the pool management destroys this philosophy. They enforce a tyrannical rule: pool towels MUST be returned before 9:00 PM daily, or you face a shocking 800 THB fine. Because of this bureaucratic madness, guests are forced to return completely dry, unused towels (due to constant rain), which the hotel then throws into the heavy laundry anyway just to track their numbers. A massive, hypocritical waste of water and detergent!Absolute Biohazard & Injury Risk Pool Zone (See Pictures): I have traveled to 68 countries—including remote areas of India and Africa—but this pool zone is the most neglected, unhygienic catastrophe I have ever seen. It is an absolute health hazard and a severe injury risk for children! The floor tiles are covered in a thick layer of years-old black grime and incredibly slippery, slimy green algae where anyone will instantly slip and fall. The photos prove total abandonment: multiple flattened geckos are decomposing on the wet tiles, alongside massive, dead cockroaches and giant beetles rotting in algae slime that are simply never cleaned up. Underneath the sun loungers, you find disgusting clumps of human hair, and gross hair strands are literally hanging down from the dirty steps. The entire area is littered with loose plastic bags, cables, sharp plastic straws, and discarded cigarette butts. A filthy, heavily stained towel is simply thrown on the ground as a mat. Even the sunbed metal tension ropes are heavily rusted, sharp, and stick out dangerously right where people walk.Deafening Construction Site: The hotel operates as an active, open construction site without warning. Ugly green safety nets cover balconies right above the pool area. The noise from non-stop metal-flexing and drilling is unbearable, causing severe headaches within an hour. They keep it open out of pure greed instead of renovating during a temporary closure.Broken Infrastructure & Degrading Smoking Policy (See Pictures): The pool restroom is permanently locked (”Out of Order”) and completely unusable. The outdoor showers cannot be used either; they are heavily stained, and the drains are totally clogged with rotting leaves and discarded plastic spoons, leaving the filthy water standing there. Furthermore, smoking is strictly banned on private balconies, forcing guests down to a single trash can at the lobby entrance. There is absolutely NO roof or shelter over this spot! When it rains, guests are forced to stand completely unprotected under dripping trees in the absolute pouring rain next to a wet, stinking bin. There are no seats or tables, so you have to place your drinks directly onto the dirty, wet trash bin. Think twice before booking!

I extended my stay in this room category for another night. The villa by the sea is fantastic. I really didn't want to leave this hotel. I loved it. Definitely recommend.
