Hotels near Klong Root (Clear Water Canal), Krabi

Everything is good, I enjoy very much during my stay here, and I pretty sure that if I hv chance to coming to krabi again, certainly I will stay at Phu Beach Hotel, thank you all the staff especially counter staff they are very helpful, friendly,, polite, kind and simple nice.

The room looks nice. With the king size bed just for myself it was spacious. Shower was alright. The pressure of the shower could have been much better. There is not much toilet amenities, just cotton bud and shower cap provided. No tooth brush or toothpaste or combs. The room was not sound proof at all. You can hear people talking from next door or from outside the room. They refilled water bottles daily which was awesome. Staffs provided excellent service and they can speak good English as well.

We went on a holiday with 2 kids and booked the 2 bedroom villa. The beds and pillows were comfortable and we had restful sleep. We also had a private pool right in front of our villa and the kids love it so much. We also could walk to the beach which was right in front of us. Overall, we are really happy with the hotel and its services. Location wise, it is located in a quiet area of Krabi. If you are looking to just unwind in the hotel, this place is definitely a good choice as it was really quiet and we almost felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves. There isn't much within walking distance, so if u r looking to walk around to buy stuff, this place doesn't offer that. We rented a car when we were there, so it was convenient for us to drive around to other places for food etc. It took us about 1 hour to get to the airport and Ao Nang about 30 mins.

The hotel has a very nice pool with poolside drinks and food service. There are early morning/early evening complimentary yoga and other wellness lessons. There is a child playground and indoor creche (presumably not complimentary). The lobby is up an elevated driveway from the street. To get to your building, there are more outside steps. So, this hotel is not for you if you have limited mobility. Having said that, there is a hotel 'golf cart' available to move you plus your luggage. Then there is the location. There is a wide choice of eating places, some with live music. Ao Nang beach is just 10min walk away. This is where you catch boat trips to the other islands. All in all, the hotel met all my expectations. The world is too big for me to return in the near future. But if i did, I would rebook the Holiday Inn.

An unforgettable stay! The room was spacious and luxurious, but the highlight was our own private pool—serene and spotless. Attentive staff, great amenities, and perfect for a relaxing getaway! The location was ideal, close to attractions yet peaceful. We can’t wait to return for another dreamy escape!

number of people staying really matters to the hotel - upon checking in they will ask how many people are staying and they strictly wont allow more than 2 people in a room, its their policy - we came in a group of 3, so we need to pay additional 1000 baht per night. we stayed 3 nights so we need to pay 3000 baht upon checking in - its impossible to lie to them as their lobby is very open so they definitely can see how many of u guys coming once u drop out from your airport car - i dont mind and im not angry to the hotel because we need to respect their policy, plus the receptionist is kind and helpful, they talk to u nicely cleanliness - the room is very clean and well maintained, nothing to complain. i feel comfortable - pool is clean as well, i saw they clean the pool every morning location - the only downside of this hotel is the location. its not on the mainroad. its a bit far from the beach. - i book grab around 70baht one way to the beach and shopping streets. - i book grab around 90baht one way to aonang landmark night market - i book grab around 70baht one way to aonang muslim street food - if u’re planning to rent a motorbike then the location of this hotel doesnt really matter breakfast - all halal breakfast - variety choices of food - breakfast served from 6.30am - 11am - one male staff on duty name Music was really kind and pleasant. he always check on the guests to make sure we have a good breakfast experience in the hotel amenities - i love that this hotel uses an app for us to order additional amenities daily. its very easy and convenient - after u order from the app, the housekeeper will send the items to your room luggage storage and weighing scale - they provide luggage storage without additional service charge - and they have big weighing scale for u to weigh your luggage before going to the airport hotel lobby - the hotel lobby is open concept hence there is no aircond - so if your return flight is late at night like in my case, after checking out, we went to the nearest coffee shop to sit and relax with aircond overall experience - satisfied

The service at this hotel was nothing short of outstanding, making our stay incredibly comfortable and enjoyable. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of, creating a seamless and relaxing experience. Their attention to detail was remarkable, catering to our needs with precision and thoughtfulness. To make the experience even more special, the hotel surprised us with a beautifully arranged birthday setup and a complimentary birthday cake. This thoughtful gesture added a personal and celebratory touch to our stay, making it truly unforgettable. From the immaculate room to the personalized touches and prompt assistance, every aspect reflected their commitment to excellence. It was a memorable celebration, and we felt genuinely cared for throughout our visit.

I had a bad experience with this booking. Firstly, I was informed that the hotel rate suddenly increased due to an error, and I had to top up the balance, which cost RM 360 or 2800 Baht. Trip said they would compensate me with 7000 coins. I then agreed to cancel my parents' room and stick with the other room for myself and my kids. But then, just one day before my travel date, a Trip staff member called me and said the room was fully booked, even though my booking was already paid for and confirmed. I’m so frustrated with both the hotel and Trip’s service. Trip wanted to relocate me to another hotel, which I felt was unfair, especially since I had been dealing with so many issues since I first booked the hotel. I now had to find another hotel for my parents at short notice. Eventually, my booking was canceled, and when Trip couldn’t find a suitable hotel for me, they offered me a stay at the original hotel again. What terrible service from both the hotel and Trip. Even though I had paid for my booking, they still changed the hotel rate and canceled my reservation.

Breakfast- smaller selection than usual five stars but it was high quality.  Activities- so much to do if you’re into fitness! Hyrox, Spartan, HITT, Muay Thai, rock climbing (some have surcharges- need to Check) Service- I found this lacking in terms of front desk service and phone as everything you are asked to dial 0. Maybe it’s the language barrier. Ten step onsen- only available 2 timings/day 11am and 5pm so you really have to plan your time around it which was annoying so we did not end up doing  Late check out- not available! Allowed to use facilities, only open shower available and change at the spa.  Beach club- free use of bean bags for hotel guest. But usage of pool is chargeable with minimum spend (depending where you choose to sit it’s a different price) free activities for hotel guest- kayak, paddle board, padel )  Pool- take note pool not allowed for kids below 12. I found the hotel very stingy with towels. Also lack service. Nobody comes to you to offer menu and ask what you’d like, I had to look high and low for attention.  As you walk out from Varana. there are some restaurant options (6-8 restaurants) very affordable.  Overall, we had a good time but lacked the magic somehow.

While my recent stay at the hotel had its downsides, there were some positives worth mentioning. The location was truly beautiful, with stunning surroundings that made for a picturesque setting. Additionally, the concierge staff were very helpful and friendly, going out of their way to assist us throughout our stay. Unfortunately, the hotel itself felt run down, with noticeable signs of neglect. We were also significantly overcharged compared to other guests, and to top it off, were charged an extra 900 THB for a bed that was uncomfortable and barely usable. This left us feeling frustrated and unfairly treated. Despite the lovely location and excellent concierge service, the overall experience left much to be desired.
