Krabi Resort

Introduction

This older resort is very well located at the northern end of Ao Nang beach. Click here for a map. Whilst quiet and tranquil, it is within easy walking distance of most of Ao Nang’s restaurants, nightlife and amenities. Many guests particularly enjoy the fact that, in order to take a day-trip out to the Railay peninsula or the nearby islands, all they have to do is stroll down to the middle of the beach, from where the boats leave.

The comfortable lobby has elegant wicker chairs and lots of cushions tastefully decorated in an unostentatious fashion designed to put the guest at ease – you don’t feel like you should be wearing formal clothes, as you can be made to feel in some up-market places.

This large resort is set on 80 acres of manicured grounds and was the first quality hotel built in Ao Nang, so there are mature shrubs and trees everywhere. Whereas the gardeners keep the grand trees and colourful shrubs in great shape, the outdoor walkways look their age.

Apart from that, the resort’s only fault is the hit and miss nature of the rooms. Some of them have been recently renovated and are in superb condition, but some are in considerably less than immaculate condition, resulting in the mixed reviews the resort receives on websites such as www.tripadvisor.com. One visitor wrote:

“The room was shabby, very out of date décor-wise and there was very little wardrobe space to put our things. The furniture was very old fashioned – looked like it was from 1980”.

Restaurants

The resort’s restaurants have a relatively good reputation and are perfectly adequate for a lazy lunch, but most guests dine out – click here for a map of restaurants, nightlife and amenities. The breakfast bread won’t be to the taste of some travellers. If you book through us we’ll deliver a fresh brown or wholemeal bakery loaf to you on arrival.

Accommodation

Krabi Resort has ten different room types, which are suitable for different travellers. Contact us with your requirements and dates, and we’ll determine exactly the best room type and number for you – no other company offers you this service, which we can provide as we are based in Ao Nang.

All the sea-view bungalows were renovated in 2008, but some are second row bungalows, so you can only see a bit of sea, and your view is mainly of the back of the bungalows in front of you. Our office is only 1 minute’s bike-ride away, so if you book through us we’ll do out utmost to get you a recently renovated room and, if you want a sea-view bungalow, to get you a front-row bungalow.

All of the Grand Villas are in immaculate condition. Some of the Grand Villas have good views, but from others the view is not so great. One visitor wrote the following on www.tripadvisor.com: 

“We got the last villa in that whole row, which had absolutely no view whatsoever, except of the roofs of adjacent building”.

The huge grounds make this an excellent resort for families. If you book through us we can make sure you get either (a) a pair of interconnected rooms at ground level nearby the main pool (suitable for children with young families) or a pair of rooms overlooking the pool (suitable for families with older children). In the high season the best family rooms get booked up quite quickly, but if you let us know your requirements we can pop round and see exactly what rooms they have left - as the resort is one minute’s bike ride from our office, we can pop round to make sure you get the accommodation that meets your requirements.
