Krabi Town Hotels with Pools

We booked two villas for a week at this brand new adults only resort and had a wonderful experience overall. It is clear no expense has been spared in creating this beautiful complex of seven villas surrounding a stunning central pool, all set within meticulously landscaped gardens. The owners and staff deserve real credit for the care, attention to detail, and pride they have invested in creating such a relaxing and welcoming environment. What we loved: * The staff were genuinely warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. Well done to the entire team. * The villas are beautifully designed, spacious, and very well appointed. * Each villa has a lovely private patio, providing a perfect space to relax outdoors. * The entire resort is immaculately maintained, with daily housekeeping available if desired. * The swimming pool is luxurious, and its setting amongst the gardens is simply superb. * Complimentary bicycles with locks are a thoughtful addition. * Fresh bottled drinking water is provided daily. * Being an adults-only resort is a huge advantage, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. * It was lovely to meet and chat with the owners, who live next door and clearly care deeply about the resort. As a new resort, there are just a few improvements that would certainly elevate the guest experience even further. Suggestions: Breakfast was the key area that fell below the otherwise excellent standard. Vegetarian options were extremely limited, despite advising we were vegetarian, with much of the buffet left uncovered, attracting insects and leading to leftover food / unnecessary waste. Fried eggs were housed in with the meat selection, which may not suit some guests. Tea was also unavailable at breakfast. A simple made-to-order breakfast menu with a small selection of fresh options (such as yoghurt and granola, smoothie bowls, omelettes, eggs, pancakes, etc.), alongside covered pastries, toast, fruit, tea, and coffee, would provide greater choice, fresher food, significantly reduce leftover over, and better reflect the quality of the resort it aspires to. Breakfast Accessibility is challenging during inclement weather. The breakfast buffet is set up in the small reception area, which requires a short outdoor walk from each villa. Outside reception there are only four small tables with parasols for guests to dine. When it rains, which is on most days during the wet season, it is impractical to sit outside, leaving guests with no option but to carry trays of food back to their villas through torrential rain or avoid breakfast paid for. Our breakfast experience on our last day was ruined due to torrential rain. The reception area itself is not configured to accommodate indoor breakfast seated tables, making the overall breakfast experience highly inconvenient in regular wet weather. Providing a covered or indoor dining area would significantly improve the guest experience and better reflect the quality of the resort it aspires to. Wi-Fi was intermittent throughout our stay and unavailable for almost two full days. Reliable internet is increasingly important, particularly for guests combining leisure with remote work. The above improvement suggestions are offered with genuine positive intent. This is already an outstanding boutique resort, and a few relatively simple improvements, particularly to the breakfast offering, would elevate it among the best adults only retreats in the area. We would happily recommend staying here and hope our feedback helps make an already wonderful resort even better for future guests. We look forward to seeing the resort flourish in the years ahead.

Here’s a polished review you can post: Really enjoyed our stay at ChaoKoh Phi Phi Hotel & Resort. The highlight was definitely the swimming pool — absolutely stunning, beautifully maintained and a great place to relax during the day. The hotel has a fantastic location, close to everything while still feeling like a relaxing place to come back to. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and the overall atmosphere was excellent. Would happily stay here again when visiting Phi Phi!

The accommodation was clean and the atmosphere was great. It felt peaceful and private, even with foreign guests around, it wasn't overly noisy. It was a perfect getaway. The room was spacious, and we stayed in one with a private pool. The price was not expensive compared to other places. The pool was large enough to swim in, and at 170cm deep, it was just right. The bathroom was spacious with good lighting, and the walkways were easy to navigate. I loved it and it was convenient to get around.

Out of the four cities in three Southeast Asian countries we visited, this hotel was by far the most satisfying. We booked two standard rooms, and they upgraded us directly to sea-view rooms. Although they were partial sea views, they were still excellent. Seeing that we had a child with us, they even gave us a room with an extra-large bed, and the child's breakfast was complimentary. The only minor complaint is that some of the power outlets in the room were a bit old and loose. For the bedside outlet, we had to move the nightstand to access it. However, these are minor issues, and it doesn't detract from the overall experience. Highly recommended!

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! Room Upgrade & Design: I was upgraded to a newly renovated room, and it was stunning! The design is very beautiful, featuring a minimalist style with warm wooden tones. I was very impressed with the room itself. The only minor drawback for guests seeking absolute quiet is the soundproofing of the front door, which is a little thin. You can still hear some noise from people walking past in the hallway. Exceptional Staff: The service from the staff was outstanding. Hardy, Kik, and Cream were all wonderful, providing excellent and very friendly service. A special mention also goes to Lusho at the breakfast restaurant. He took excellent care of me, always ready to recommend dishes and answer any questions we had about the food—just ask him anything you need! Location: The location is superb! It's just a short 7-minute walk to Ao Nang beach and very close to the night market, restaurants, and a 7-Eleven. Facilities: • Spa: The hotel spa is fantastic! I had the aroma massage for 850 THB, and it was excellent—both muscle and mind felt completely relaxed. The calming natural sounds, especially with the rain falling during my session, made it incredibly soothing. • Fitness & Pool: The fitness center is well-equipped, and the swimming pool is lovely. Overall: This is the perfect place for a relaxing, no-stress vacation. The food is good, the location is excellent (close to the beach and nearby restaurants), and the facilities are comprehensive. I truly enjoyed my stay and will definitely be returning!

The hotel's location is a bit out of the way, so it's ideal if you have a rental car. Otherwise, there's not much dining available within a 5km radius. The hotel facilities are also quite old; the air conditioning is too noisy and doesn't cool very well. However, the hotel boasts its own private beach, and the scenery there is absolutely stunning. The best part is that there aren't many guests, which creates a wonderful, relaxed holiday vibe. The staff are also very enthusiastic and provide great service. Each child's breakfast costs 350 Thai Baht per day, which feels a bit expensive, as the breakfast selection isn't extensive and is quite ordinary. The breathtaking beach views and the quiet, uncrowded atmosphere make it well worth it!

Had a really nice stay at Golden Beach Resort! The location is great—very close to Ao Nang Beach and convenient for getting around. The room was okay overall, although there was some sand on the bathroom floor when I arrived. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I really loved how easy it was to walk around the area and enjoy the beach nearby. Overall, a pleasant stay and a good choice if you want to be close to the beach and everything in Ao Nang. 🌴✨

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 had an exceptional stay at Phi Phi Long Beach Resort Villa. In my experience, this is the most balanced and comfortable location on the island. Other areas tend to be overcrowded and noisy, especially considering that Phi Phi receives massive daily traffic from Krabi, Phuket, and other nearby destinations. Most visitors are day-trippers or short-term guests, while only a small number stay for a week or longer. For a 5–6 day holiday, this area is ideal. I found a very good deal for this hotel and paid 60 USD per night, which is an excellent price for the overall level, location, and quality of breakfast. The rooms are spacious, though some construction materials are visibly exposed—cracks, chips, unpainted surfaces, and panels that could be better finished. I booked a twin room with two single beds, but such a room was not available upon arrival. The hotel provided an extra bed free of charge, resulting in a king bed plus a single bed. Space was sufficient, and cleanliness was consistently maintained. Housekeeping does an excellent job, working daily and attentively. The air conditioning performs well. The shower is basic, just an open floor without separation, but for this price and for an island with limited logistics, this is acceptable. Electricity works reliably. Wi-Fi exists but only functions near the reception area. Rooms are located higher up the hill, and in my unit the signal did not reach at all. This was the biggest disappointment, as I had to rely on mobile data. Reception and restaurant staff are friendly and welcoming. The hotel provides a free transfer from the main pier during check-in and check-out hours. We preferred not to rely on the schedule and used long-tail taxis instead: 120 THB per person during the day and 150 THB in the evening. Around the hotel there are many good cafés; walking to the right side of the beach you can find a small, cozy place where we ate regularly without any issues. I would not recommend eating in the main tourist center, where food hygiene complaints are common. The concierge team helps with luggage upon arrival and departure; when arriving by long-tail boat they meet you at the beach and deliver bags directly to your room. The standard tip is 100 THB, which I found reasonable considering the heat and the distance across the sand. The hotel has a swimming pool, though I chose not to use it, as I wasn’t sure about water replacement frequency. Breakfast offers a wide selection, consistently good coffee, and fresh fruits—usually dragon fruit and watermelon, or pineapple and watermelon. The continental options are solid, with a few Thai dishes available. Breakfast was excellent and kept us full until late afternoon. The beach is outstanding, with beautiful water and a peaceful atmosphere. I recommend buying water shoes, as sea urchins are present; I saw them while snorkeling. The water quality, sand, and overall environment are exceptional and fully worth the stay. We visited the central area once and immediately understood that it was not for us: loud, crowded, chaotic, and unpleasant. I would not recommend staying anywhere near the central streets. Long Beach offers everything needed for a perfect stay. I highly recommend this hotel and advise future guests to explore reviews of this specific area, as they will be helpful.

Amazing hotel I highly recommend it. Staff are very friendly and made my stay there even better. I stayed there 3 times on my holiday as it was so good it’s Great for families , couples beautiful views . It’s on the beach and has amazing food on site but also a stroll two minutes up beach and there’s restaurants and bars cafes. I can’t recommend this place enough it’s outstanding.
