“Our 2nd Time At The Krabi Resort”

My wife and I stayed here in 2018 and loved it then, so have come back again for the wife's birthday. This time in July so during the low season therefore so clear sky's not guaranteed, however we only had one day of rain and another afternoon of thunderstorms but the rest of our 5 days were brilliant. As it was low season we had the place almost to ourselves. The Resort sits right on the beach and so nice to have a beach with no sunbeds. brollies, parascending, jet skis etc Just the sand and the sound of the sea, BLISS The main drag of Ao Nang is just a walk out of the back of the Resort or a short walk along the beach, with numerous restaurants, bars and shops. Busyish but a lot smaller and not as crazy as say Phuket or Pattaya. This time we stayed in the Grand Luxury Garden View Room overlooking the jungle of the grounds with the limestone cliffs as a backdrop. Nice room with a 6ft wide bed and bathroom with sunken bath and a big balcony to sit and have a drink in the evening. The room was nice although decor and fittings looking a bit tired now. Although we note that they are working through all the rooms refitting them out. So should have a nice new feel again in the coming months. There are loads of boat trips to the various local islands such as Phi Phi, but we gave them a miss this time as the weather in July is unpredictable and we didn't want to risk getting stuck on a longtail boat in a thunderstorm an hour out from port. We have done them before and can recommend them if you're going in the better months Nov - Apr NOTE: We love Thailand that much we have now retired in Bangkok so going to Ao Nang out of season is cheap and only a stones throw away. So I wouldn't recommend coming from Europe out of season as flights would be pricy for such a gamble on the weather here.

Currently at the hotel after a disappointing arrival where the locks on the doors were broken and no keys for the safe were available or working.We have been travelling all day, were hungry and this then delayed us two hours to get to a nearby restaurant. It’s a spacious resort which seems hardly occupied. There is mold in the rooms, there are lots of mosquitoes, electrical sockets dont work, the gym is minimal, mini golf broken and the pool could do with some better shade. Very dark at night but good location at the end of the beach so quiet also. Breakfast was fine today. So a few issues which the young staff try to fix but seem out of their depth possibly. Not sure I’d stay again here but it’s not an apartment style hotel and doesn’t seem to be party central either which is also a bonus for us and we do not like setting and space. Rooms and beds are big but dated.
