The hotel is ok. The rooms are fairly clean, the beds are comfortable, the gardens maintained and fairly free of mosquitoes. Overpriced for what you receive, I paid $175 US per night and due to work stayed in the hotel for a week. The breakfast was again, ok. The cheddar cheese was not cheddar, the ham, the sausage were not quality. The coffee was awful. It was missing the touches of a quality hotel.
The view is fantastic, but the beach itself is not nice. If you are looking for white sand and clear water this is not for you.
The area is culturally barren, there is almost nothing nearby.
You must walk 4k, rent a scooter or get a car.
Krabi in high season is inundated with tourists , the long boats schlep back and forth to the islands where you will find plastic, floating bottles debris and beacoup tourists trying to snorkel in murky water. The hotel is in an isolated spot and you feel a bit like a sitting duck waiting to be overcharged. Nothing out of this world. The restaurant serves up food aimed at being neutral, not flavorful to align with tourist palates.
The hotel obviously underpays the staff because they seem unmotivated, on their cellphones, and alienated in the work place. If I am paying $175 a night, can't they pay their staff a living wage?
