Hotel is located on the other side...
Hotel is located on the other side of Krabi,away from the dirty and crowded Ao Nang beach. Ao Nang is very similiar to phuket,pattaya etc. Filled with tourists and beaches are quite dirty. The only perks were cheap food and drinks.
At this hotel, the beach is almost entirely yours (though not very well maintained)...but the white sand and the pool at the hotel makes up for that. The view is fantastic and you dont have touts haggling your to purchase items or for massage!!
Room is huge , and there were probably just 14 individual buildings(rooms) , very ideal for guests who do not like to be looking around for seats etc. Staff are friendly..
Hotel does charge 700baht (quite high) to travel into Krabi Town, abit more if you intend to travel to Ao Nang to take a look. They do provide a shuttle bus (free) on a wednesday, departs at 11am and returns at around 4pm. If travelling into town on other days, best to check with other guests and some are willing to share a cab with you.
Airport transfers (arrival & departure) can be arranged with the hotel. They charge 500baht per way. Again, you would be able to split this cost if you are sharing with others.
WIFI is available but at a crawling speed. Plenty of DVDs for you to choose from (even those that have just been released at the US!).
We stayed 4nights in Krabi loved the location. All you need is a day at Ao Nang and it's more than sufficient.
Though, the cafe does charge at least 5times more for a dish that's easily available for 20-30baht at Ao Nang (road side food). Oh, carefully check what you have been charged on your bill (when checking out).
Hope you found this helpful.
