Talingchan Beach Hotel

"Staff was incredible! Room was spacious, clean. Every want attended to. Cookies and bananas on arrival. Great prices on excursions and dinner."

"Amazing property! So well kept and maintained. The staff are the best hotel staff we've met in the world! The beach is fantastic, and very clean. You can't really see it much in the photos, but honestly the hotel beach was one of the best to swim in, even in comparison to Ao Nang, Railay, Phi Phi and Hong Island. The two infinity pools; both facing the ocean are absolutely beautiful. The cocktail hour at Breeze Bar is a must. Most of all, we truly enjoyed the company of the lovely and friendly staff and the guests! If you're coming to Krabi, you MUST stay here. "

"This place is perfect for you if you plan on staying at the resort. If you want to visit the main part of town to eat, explore, party, shop… maybe consider a resort closer to the pier/main part of town. Sadly, the resort is only accessible via taxi boat (long tail boat) which costs 100-150 baht per person depending on the time you leave. Yes, there is a free taxi boat shuttle from the pier to the resort when you arrive and leave but otherwise you are on your own for transportation. It’s also worth mentioning that you get in the taxi boats through the beach (your shoes and feet will get wet). Otherwise, the staff is kind and friendly (they decorated my room for my birthday and gave us an upgrade in terms of the bungalow). The food is good and affordable given the location and the resort is beautiful since it is right on the beach and has its’ own private section. The bungalows are on a steep hill but you can grab a ride in a truck from the main lobby. All in all, an enjoyable stay and my sister and I would return there!"

"We had a great stay! Read many reviews about people having bad experiences but that was not the case. We stayed in a villa near the pool. Super close to town and all the bars. Restaurants on site were great! A definite stay! "

"It was a beautiful experience to stay at Centara Grand in Krabi. We felt like we were in paradise. Incredible location. It was fun to boat in and also to be able to take the "Monkey Tail" into town. "

"Very centrally located with lots of things to do. Hotel was quiet and a nice place to relax or get to a longboat to view the other islands. Less than 5 minutes from the pier."

"The SAII village was a 2 night stay as part of our honeymoon trip to Phi Phi. On arrival, we had our luggage taken care of, sat in reception with a fresh pineapple juice drink and a cold towel (lovely after the boat ride over). From here we checked in and a member of staff sat with us in the lobby and explained where everything is, got us to download the SAII village app on our phones (which is amazing, allows you to do everything via the app, ordering fresh towels, room service and even ordering a buggy to take you around). We then got taken to our room via a buggy and showed around our room. The room was a Deluxe Garden King Villa, the cool air-con was heaven, the room and shower facilities were great! The resort itself is easily walkable, the pools are more than big enough and plenty of loungers either around the pool or facing the beach for most of the day. The food was amazing on-site too, probably more pricier than anywhere we’ve been currently (expected). We had the most amazing 2 nights here and the staff were so polite and friendly. We got the SAII Village boat (which was arranged for us) back to Tonsai Pier to catch our Ferry back to Phuket. Would highly recommend this place and me and my wife have already spoke about returning."
