5-Star Hotels in Krabi Town

The location is a bit off, but it is very quiet. The hotel can also be easily rented by car. It is suitable for a quiet holiday. The villa has all the facilities and the swimming pool is directly opposite the sea.

Krabi's Phulay Bay beach offers the most stunning sunsets and evening glows. You can enjoy exquisite dining while watching the sunset here. I highly recommend Sritrang, a Michelin-starred Thai restaurant, for its unique cooking style. The pool bar also serves excellent drinks and light meals, and Lealay Seafood Restaurant boasts incredibly fresh and refined ingredients. Breakfast is fantastic too, with a semi-buffet and delicious coffee and champagne. We booked a Sea View Pavilion on the second floor, above the Hidden Garden. Each compound typically has four villas. Our room was spacious with very high ceilings, and the bathroom ceiling had petal-shaped glass, allowing you to see the sky. The room came equipped with flip-flops, a woven bag, a straw hat, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, and aloe vera gel. However, I'd suggest bringing your own high-SPF sunscreen. My only minor gripes were that the bed was a bit too large, making it inconvenient to get out from only one side, and there were simply too many mosquitoes – I got two swollen bites every day. Our butler, Maya, was a lovely girl – very attentive and patient. She was excellent at driving the buggy, always available on call, and communicated seamlessly via WeChat for dining reservations and activity bookings, always ready to translate. Every morning at 9 AM, a boat departs for Hong Island. You can reserve with your butler the day before, using the room's woven bag and straw hat. The boat crew provides snorkeling gear, but honestly, the snorkeling at Hong Island beach was terrible. Visibility was very poor, and I only saw five-striped damselfish. Personally, I don't think snorkeling there is worth it. However, the 360-degree viewpoint on Hong Island is absolutely fantastic – you must climb to the top for the incredible views! You can also arrange with your butler for a car to visit a nearby 7-Eleven for any small items you might need. In conclusion, despite the long journey and requiring a transfer in Bangkok, it's definitely worth the trip.

All Hood

The hotel staff were tremendous and a definite asset. Thoroughly enjoyed the morning yoga sessions we attended with Sasha, who ensured an inclusive session for all levels. In a lovely setting and away from it all but you will need to taxi, or use shuttle to get anywhere. There is a small bar just outside hotel - left as you exit - ran by a couple of local brothers. It’s worth a visit definitely. I get it’s an Eco Hotel and independent but many of the hotel facilities are not what you would expect of a 5 star: gym is very rudimentary and some of kit, not in great nick; the rooms - we had a swim up suite - were quite dated furniture-wise and showing signs of extended wear and tear for instance The wi-fi for us was non-existent in room, and very hit and miss (mostly miss) in and around pool area. I’d imagine this might be a big issue for young families… The breakfast was fine, as was the rooftop bar food. In summary a pleasant enough stay, but not sure it was value for money at the price, and not comparable really to hotels we’d stayed at beforehand and since on this trip. I’d say a four star at best…

Let's start with the positives: The resort is small with a limited number of rooms, and the staff's service is excellent, with great attention to detail. For example, when checking out, they came to help me with my luggage in advance. I had booked a car through Trip.com myself, and when I came out, the staff had already put my luggage in the car I booked. Tubkaek's overall environment is much better than Ao Nang's. The hotel has its own beach, the sunsets are beautiful, it's not crowded, and the beach is relatively clean. Now for the negatives: Since all the hotel rooms are made of wood, the sound insulation isn't great. If there are children upstairs, it can get very noisy, which is why we ended up changing rooms during our stay. The hotel pool is quite small, mostly suitable for kids to splash around, not really for serious swimming. Overall, it was still a good experience.

1. There are still quite a few hidden hygiene issues, and it's clear that the cleaning isn't very thorough. We stayed for two nights and only needed house-keeping once, right? Yet after taking a shower, I realized no bath towels had been provided. Luckily, we brought our own disposable ones. 2. The room had a rather heavy musty smell and needed more ventilation. It's recommended that the hotel provide air purifiers. The pool water gets quite cold as soon as night falls, making it pretty much unusable. 3. There were many Chinese guests during the holiday. It was said that the front desk spoke Chinese, but from start to finish, I didn't hear a single staff member speak a word of Chinese. However, all the staff were very polite. 4. Upon check-in, the staff mentioned a complimentary benefit where we could choose one of three options (spa for two / afternoon tea / set dinner). This was unexpected and a huge plus! For breakfast, you could choose between Chinese and Western options, and over our two-day stay, we practically tried everything. The dinner was exceptional, especially the curry (Photo 6), which has a rich shrimp paste base—if you have the palate for it, this will be the curry of a lifetime! Also, the free local specialty snacks provided by the hotel (coconut-flavored mini steamed buns, far left in Photo 3) literally melt in your mouth, sweet and refreshing! When checking out, I even asked the hotel where to buy them, and was told they are available on 7-Eleven online. 5. Earplugs are strongly recommended for sleeping. Otherwise, the birds and frogs outside the room will be noisy enough to make you question your sanity. 6. The location is very convenient. Just a short walk out the door leads to the main commercial street, making dining, shopping, and entertainment easily accessible. It's a 15-minute walk to Ao Nang Beach.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was very clean, spacious, and well-maintained. The staff were exceptionally friendly and always greeted guests with a warm smile, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. The hotel environment is beautiful and relaxing, with a great location near the beach. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and attention to detail could be seen throughout the property. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant vacation experience.

Very good. As soon as you arrive, a lot of food and drinks have been prepared. You must also experience the breakfast service. Breakfast will be cooked downstairs and there will be a barbecue in the villa. The butler will also help you book various sea tours before going out. Booking a car with a butler is much cheaper than outside! The environment is very good. I went with my friends and the overall experience was great! Recommended! ! !

I decided to spend my solo birthday trip at this hotel and was truely impressed. Everything was wonderful and made my special day even more memorable. Huge thanks to the hotel team for a lovely cake and decoration, this truely made me feel so special 💝🎂💐 I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

This was my first time staying at a hotel with traditional Thai architecture, like what you’d see in palaces and temples, and it was such a cool experience. The room was totally worth the price, clean, tidy, and pretty spacious for just me traveling alone. The vibe of the place is peaceful and perfect for relaxing, yet it’s only a few steps away from the beach! There’s also a swimming pool which is great for families and kids friendly. Plus, there's a local night market not too far away, which was great to check out. The breakfast here was spot on, and the staff were all so nice and helpful. Overall, I had an amazing time and would definitely come back again! 😍
