5 Star Krabi Holidays

Gustavo Blanco

Girlfriend and I spent 4 nights here to end our Thailand vacation and it was the relaxing end we wanted. Resort staff were all friendly at each turn. We had access to the Club Room upgrade which we were able to use for afternoon tea, snacks, massages, and kayaking when we were tired from exploring the beautiful beaches and hikes around us. The hotel was beautiful, our room was spacious, the staff was great, and all their offerings made our stay all that more relaxing.

We had a wonderful stay at the Dusit Thani in Krabi! This was our third visit (though the last time was in 2017 so pre covid etc) and it was as good as we remembered (if not better!). We opted for Club access which was great (special mention to the chef who made the daily scones which were delicious and overall the food quality in the club was great - we liked all the salad and vegetables/fruit offered as well as sometimes it's hard to find on holiday!). Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Drinks were good and my kids loved sampling the "sober" cocktails. Special thanks to Wu for looking after us but all the Club team were lovely (I wish I could remember all their names!). The GM also came and chatted daily to the guests and was very kind and helped source the old resort umbrella for my kids who wanted it for a photo recreation. It was good to see some of the staff still there from years ago (special mention to Bank in the pool bar). The pools were lovely and as someone who can't sit too long in the sun I appreciated the proper sun coverage and fans near the pool with the bar. Everything is maintained well. Overall we loved our time there, didn't want to leave and are already planning our next visit.

We had a family vacation here and it was an amazing experience. We can’t wait to go back. The people in the hotel are super nice and friendly. They always helped us with everything we needed (activities, excursion, reservations…) We recommend the cooking class, the bar in the pool and the massages. The food in the restaurant is not bad but the best. But there is a Thai restaurant just outside of the hotel that is really good and cheep.

I recently stayed at Dusit Thani Krabi Beach Resort, and I had an absolutely wonderful experience. The resort is beautifully situated with stunning views of the beach and lush gardens, creating a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere. The staff was exceptionally warm and attentive, always going above and beyond to ensure my comfort. The rooms were spacious, well-maintained, and offered every modern amenity I could ask for. I particularly enjoyed the resort’s pool area, which was the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring. The dining options were diverse, with a variety of delicious cuisines to choose from, all served in picturesque settings. From the breakfast buffet to the beachside dinners, every meal was memorable. Overall, Dusit Thani Krabi Beach Resort exceeded my expectations in every way. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious getaway. I can’t wait to return!

We stayed here for 2 weeks end of Feb. Absolutely loved everything about this resort, from the beautiful gardens, pools and beach to the fantastic breakfast. The choice and quality was excellent. We upgraded to a club room and used the club lounge daily. Every member of staff we met were just so lovely, friendly and professional. This was our first holiday to Thailand and we were blown away with how beautiful this place is. Thank you for a wonderful holiday x

Kimberley Neve

Such a lovely place! The location is beautiful and unmatched - just be aware you rely on boats or a steep monkey trail to go anywhere. Rooms are gorgeous and we had a fantastic view. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Particularly loved the yoga session with Rak who had such a great energy and was good at aligning my position where I needed. I’d leave lived to do more yoga with him! Only downside I’d say is the pricing in all the restaurants for quite average food (we tried 3 of the 4 restaurants) and obligatory service charge - they even add a tip line to each bill despite the service charge already being added, which feels a bit excessive.

I recently stayed at Grand Centara Resort for a 4-day, 3-night trip, and while there are some positives, my overall experience was a bit disappointing. Positives: The location is absolutely stunning, with beautiful views and a private, exclusive beach that’s a huge plus for relaxation. The rooms are spacious, and the resort offers a nice variety of cuisine options, catering to different tastes. Negatives: Unfortunately, the rooms feel quite dated and in need of major updating. Cleanliness didn’t meet the expectations one might have for a 5-star resort. Service was hit or miss; some staff members were great, but others seemed to provide mediocre service. It’s clear the resort is understaffed—buggy drivers, for instance, were often juggling multiple roles, leading to delays in transport between the lobby and the resort. Additionally, it was a bit odd to see that some menu is catered specifically to certain ethnic groups at an international resort. This selective approach felt quite limiting and questionable for an establishment meant to welcome diverse guests. Overall, the resort has potential but could greatly benefit from some renovations, improved service consistency, and a more inclusive approach in its amenities.

I enjoyed my stay at Centara! The surroundings were incredible, thoroughly feels like you’re in the jungle and is right on the beach. The room was a very good size and high floor with ocean view. The amenities are great, the buggy service was a touch and there was a good selection of restaurants. The only negative is that the hotel is only accessible via speed/long tail boat or the monkey trial and some of the facilities are dated and need upgrading. Apart from this, I would recommend!

It is located at a very picturesque location.. view from the room is great. Food was also good. Indian buffet on Wednesday nights was quite good. However, the service by the staff in general was a little less warm as we had encountered in the rest of the places we visited in Thailand, but that is a subjective topic. We had to call plumber services twice during out short stay of 2 days. They were quite prompt though.

Silveri Beltran

A great hotel in an unbeatable location. Being located on a semi-private beach is a plus. The scenery and views from the room are exceptional. All services, in general, have lived up to our expectations. If we want to highlight any, I would like to mention the pool service, especially with the help of Joe, who was very attentive at all times to make the experience very satisfactory. I would also like to highlight the kindness and good service of the room service and cleaning team. The rooms are well maintained, although it is evident that they are facilities that are old. We heard that the hotel has a comprehensive remodeling project.

Ross Haddow

We had a week family holiday here recently, the hotel was exceptional in a fantastic and idyllic location with very well equipped rooms excellent pools, spas fitness room Next door to a great beach and wonderful views out to Hong Island and others. The staff were exceptional at every level obliging helpful, friendly, and attentive. The breakfast bar was extensive and delicious and we very much enjoyed the restaurant on many nights. Can definitely recommend

Prachi Gupta

Very pretty & beautiful resort, rooms were amazing. Staff & service were also very nice. Especially appreciate the avoidance of plastic everywhere. Beach in front of the hotel was again very beautiful. Slight issue was with the hotel being on height so, you have to climb up and down the stairs a lot as elevator is also at higher levels only. Food could have been better, very limited options for indian/vegetarian. Location was a constraint as it was a bit far from everything.

Pornpong W.

I would say this is the best service I have ever experienced. Having traveled around the world and stayed in many places, none compare to this. The service mindset of your staff is truly impressive. They are incredibly kind and attentive. The food is superb, and the rooms are perfect and spotless. I was fortunate enough to receive a room upgrade, which impressed me greatly. The scenery is breathtaking, offering a private and quiet place to relax and rejuvenate the soul. I would wholeheartedly recommend and encourage any friends and family to visit here. I am 100% sure they will enjoy their stay as much as I did.

Wonderful (but short) weekend stay at Amari Vogue. Service was outstanding all over the resort and my room was absolutely amazing in every way. The names of the rooms confuse me but I had the one with the fabulous jetted tub for 2 on the balcony (and a nice rub and shower inside as well.). Worth the small cost to upgrade. They are constantly cleaning the grounds and I wish they'd spend some of that time on minor (very minor) repairs like the signs but I am sure they will get to these things as well. All in all I definitely recommend this place. Beautiful grounds, nice beach, great breakfast. Absolutely perfect for relaxing which is what I came to do.

Ranjith Rajeev

It is situated at beach side, with a private beach. The rooms, the service and the ambience is fantastic. Me and my wife enjoyed it. Didn't feel like leaving the hotel. You must visit this place.

Clémence

In overall we were happy to stay at Sofitel. The staff is very friendly and the hotel is good located directly in front of the beach. The building as well as the pool are clean and well maintained. It’s a quiet place. The breakfast was probably the highlight, there is a lot of choices and everything was good. Contras: The rooms are old fashioned, though comfortable. The shower didn’t work well, the pressure of the water was low and not well maintained. My mattress was unfortunately too old and sank in the middle.

Nnam Nahm

My sister and I had an amazing experience! The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy your time. It’s also very well located, close to key attractions and easy to get around. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful, always going above and beyond to assist with anything needed. One of the highlights of my stay was the food, especially the Italian cuisine. Their Chicken Satay pizza is simply delicious. My sister also loved their fettuccini and pasta, but the star of the show for me was the risotto – hands down the best in town! Addition to the great food and ambiance, the hotel offers a wide variety of activities that are both enjoyable and engaging. Whether you're looking for something adventurous or relaxing, there’s something for everyone. I highly recommend paying a visit to this wonderful hotel for a memorable experience! And I do definitely re-visit this place!!

My friends and I stayed at Sofitel Krabi for three nights, and we had a wonderful experience. Everything was arranged as per our request (including extra bed, pick up and drop off from the airport, and an island hopping tour), and we had a comfortable stay. The only downside was that sometimes it was difficult to get a hold of people from the housekeeping. I'd especially like to thank Gabbie and Deena from the Executive Club who provided outstanding care throughout our stay.

Ross Speight

Hotel itself is great. Would have expected more of a premium room for the cost. Cost to upgrade to millesime club is not worth it. The vocal act 'Casey& Alan' in 'Explorer bar are fantastic. The swim up pool bar is great and staff are very attentive. The house keeping is faultless. Overall the complete hotel 8/10

Relaxing Stay with a Classic Touch I had a relaxing stay at *Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort*. The quiet, luxurious atmosphere and beautiful architecture stood out. The staff, especially Talia from guest relations and a Cambodian intern, were attentive and helpful. Our rooms were spacious with great views—mine with a pool view, my sister's with a golf course balcony. Dinner was a highlight, especially the Thai dishes, and breakfast pastries were excellent. However, the hotel feels a bit outdated, particularly the bathrooms with low water pressure. The beach isn’t swimmable, and room service didn’t meet the same standard as the restaurants, which had small portions and high prices. Looking forward to seeing the improvements after renovations!

Robin Cheah

Beautiful place. One of the prettiest resort we have been. It's 31 years old but so well maintained. Surrounded by lush greenery and amazing cliffs. Thai hospitality is always on point. Huge Kudos to Luna, our guest manager who was so warm and welcoming. Will definitely be back.

Location is exceptional. The grounds are beautiful. Staff is attentive. Plenty of activities to do with the family or couples . monkeys are everywhere and a great sight. Thank you again Pimpant for arranging all our reservations and travel. We will be coming back in the future.

Bex Montz

This is by far the nicest place I have ever stayed! The resort is beautiful and the staff are extremely thoughtful and kind. They made my wife and I feel very taken care of. The complementary breakfasts were so freaking good and they have a beautiful gym with brand new equipment (squat rack, free weights, leg press, cardio equipment, cable machine, pullup/dip machine). You can borrow a kayak for free, which I would highly recommend. They provide complementary drinking water. They have complementary afternoon tea three days a week. You have access to three beautiful beaches. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Stayed at Rayavadee over the weekend and was unfortunately disappointed by our experience. I was very excited to stay at the Rayavadee after seeing/reading a lot about it. It was expensive but I thought we could make the splurge for the experience. Unfortunately, I wish I hadn't. PROS: 1. We booked the pool pavilion and the size of the pool was amazing! The view of the jungle/forest was also great from the pool 2. The two story room was really unique and fun to stay in 3. Phra Nang beach was a 2 minute walk away and it was spectacular. The views were amazing and water was nice and warm. 4. Main hotel pool was massive and had an amazing view of the cliffs, railay beach and coconut trees. 5. General location of the hotel and everything within was very picturesque and well planned. Anywhere you looked was instagram worthy. 6. Housekeeping was very good. They went out of their way to organize little things around our room CONS: 1. The main downfall was the service. Most of the staff (apart from guest services who were nice and welcoming) seemed over worked and stressed out, leading them to be rude. - Buggy driver the first night did not even smile or say hello, and I felt like we had bothered by asking for a ride. - Wait staff at all the restaurants were busy and rushed. We always had to wait a while to get there attention. For example We had to wait a good ten minutes for some water and then found that the glass was dirty. - Each time we went to a new restaurant, the staff looked like we were bothering them by being there 2. Food was mediocre. We tried all the restaurants and were disappointed by the food. In fact we sometimes didnt bother ordering too much because the food just wasnt worth it. This was annoying because the hotel was quite cut off from the general public, so we had to keep eating from the hotel even though it wasnt that good. I expect more from a hotel of this standing. The food was also quite expensive for what it was worth. 3. The most disappointing was our meal at the thau restaurant. First of all, we went in at 9:45pm. The kitchecn closes at 10.30pm and the restaurant at 11pm, so we didnt think we were too late. Upon walking in the waitress looked so annoyed that we had entered. She showed us to our table abd quickly set it up (they seemed to be doing the closing down shift, which we didnt undertand because there was still time for the kitchen to close). The waitress said that the kitchen would close soon so we had to order everything at once. We ordered our food and specified 'medium spicy' which we like and can handle. The food we got was so incredibly spicy, my insides were on fire. It was so strange because this is the spice level we usually request and have been fine, it left us wondering if it was done on purpose because they seemed annoyed to have us. I understand that thai food is spicy, but we went by te standards of the other hotel restaurants. 4. We found a dead cockroach in the toilet as soon as we entered the room. 5. Private pool villas are not completely private, you can see into neighbouring pools. In summary, the hotel is in a great location and is very beautiful in itself, but the service was its downfall - especially considering the price you pay. I don't think I would visit again. If you really want to go, I recommend just a one night stay to tick the box.

Rayavadee in Krabi was an incredible experience! We enjoyed the spa, an island tour, and a Thai cooking class—all of which were fantastic. And we also loved the privacy of our little bungalow. Every meal was delicious, and breakfast was exceptional each day. The staff were outstanding and made our stay unforgettable. Highly recommend for a top-notch getaway!

Residing in bustling Bangkok, we sought refuge from the city's chaos and pollution, finding solace in this hotel that met all our requirements. Our quest for an economical yet luxurious retreat, where we could relax in peace while keeping our energetic 6-year-old entertained, was absolutely fulfilled by this resort. Its modest size, serene ambience, extensive lawns for children to play, and a delightful pool catered perfectly to our needs. Moreover, for those seeking serenity away from children, the adult pool provided a quiet retreat. The only suggestions we have are to improve the food and beverage offerings, which are lacking for a hotel of this caliber, and to enhance the beach bar options which sometimes appear neglected. Apart from these minor points, our stay was flawless, prompting us to return visit.

One of the finest rooms I have encountered. Spacious, well maintained and very cozy. I felt at home away from home. It's a small property with its own beach but big enough for little gatherings and comfortable walks. I enjoyed my stay and will definitely come back whenever get a chance.

Catherine G

Such a beautiful stay, we ended up extending for an extra night. The staff are so welcoming and attentive. The facilities are stunning and well kept, (pools and gym were a highlight). I 100% recommend if you’re looking for a luxurious, relaxing stay just be mindful it is very isolated from the town with sparse shuttling to and from (though it is free which is great). Will definitely be back!!

Shin Asato

This hotel is perfect for spending a quiet and relaxing holiday. As a Japanese expat living in Bangkok, I stayed here for two nights with my partner, and we were completely satisfied. Surrounded by beautiful nature, the hotel is well-maintained, with attentive staff and delicious breakfasts that made our stay even more enjoyable. Just a 5-minute walk from the hotel, you’ll find “God-Le Restaurant,” where we had lunch every day while enjoying the breathtaking view. While Bangkok, Phuket, and Pattaya are popular tourist spots, this hotel in Krabi offers a tranquil and sophisticated atmosphere, ideal for a peaceful getaway.

Our stay in a garden room was incredible! The stay was made by the staff who were so nice to us and spoke great English. They were happy to help with any request and always greeted us with a smile. The resort is great with nice pools, rooms and views. The food was also amazing, especially the Thai options. The only problem is being far from Ao Nang, so maybe more shuttles per day would help. Also there is a nice gym that we didn’t see advertised anywhere. Overall thank you so much for our stay.
