Beyond Krabi

Got upgraded to a second floor sea view villa so we were very happy :) Gorgeous panorama ocean view plus overlooking the pool from the balcony. Huge room and toilet. Comfortable bedding and towels. Amenities are good. Daily housekeeping with complimentary bottled water. Note there’s no lift so guests would need to take about 15 stairs to get to the room. I saw an ads billboard on the beach and booked a long-tail boat day trip to nearby islands. Price is half what the hotel asks but would assume the hotel’s boats are more premium and better decorated. Guests can board the boat from the beach. Swimming pool is warm as it embraces sunlight across almost the entire day. Depth is 1.3 metres so good for both experienced and amateur swimmers. There’s also 0.4m swimming area and spa. Plenty of lounges around the pool and along the beach. There’s also happy hour from the bar on the beachfront. Restaurant food is of good quality and price. Breakfasts met the normal standards of such hotels, although not too exciting we were satisfied with the flavours and number of options. Outside the hotel there are also a good number of great eating places, bars, convenience stores and massage shops. During our stay the hotel restaurant had local musicians play live music at dinner time. They also had seadood bbq promotions. The beachfront restaurant next door has evening fire shows that hotel guests can enjoy while eating. We drove so transport is not an issue. I’d recommend hiring a bike or car as it makes much easier to go around. Not too impressed with the porter hinting a tip by lingering in the room after he moved in our luggage but I guess that’s how he supports his family well. Overall it’s a great place to stay and value for money. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly.
