The hotel indeed has great park view,very beautiful, we like to stay again. But the travel agency which cooperates with the hotel offered high car rate from hotel to airport, they provied tour did not valuable as they said, i.e.: James Bone discovery - one hour elephant track, actually 20 minutes, and they rejected fund. I strongly feel the trave agency will effect this hotel's business.

Nice hotel bit out of the way, although only 100 bhat taxi ride to town. Breakfast not bad but limited choice. Only stayed one night so cannot give it a better review.
We stayed two nights as a transfer hotel between Bangkok and Ko Lanta as the trip from Krabi Airport to Lanta island is a long one of about 2 hours. The hotel is conveniently located only 20 minutes from Krabi Int. Airport. The resort has a nice infrastructure with a large pool and beautiful lagoon. The room are fairly large. The service in the hotel was friendly and the English level of the staff good.
The hotel was great but dissapointment about the room because we paid for a suite but the suite was not nicer than a normal room but it was double the price so we expected something that would look like a suite..
Very very nice rooms and very nice surroundings!
The staff was pretty good and polite. The SPA services are great and reasonably priced. The hotel is a bit far from town and you need to take a taxi to get there. The hotel offers a shuttle service but it is never at the time you need it and figuring out the schedule was a bit of a challenge!!!
I would however definately stay there the next time I am in Krabi.
It was a little surreal staying here for just one night after having had a week in the resorts at Rai Leh and Phi Phi - this is back to the high-rise stuff you'd expect at Surfers Paradise or Tenerife. Restaurant was okay but the singer and pianist, while doing their best, were a little intrusive. The lake is nice enough for a paddle to kill some time. The main highlight though was the girl behind the bar at happy hour juggling bottles etc and injecting some life into the place. The lowlight was returning from dinner to find the door to our room was ajar. No idea what happened there but at least nothing was missing. Would probably go back if I had another night to kill between the south and a return flight to Bangkok, but only after seeing what else was around.
We were concerned about booking online however the Hotel was expecting us and the check in was a breeze. The Hotel is a little run down in places but value for money it was excellent. The meals were great and fairly well priced for a Hotel. The pool area was well run with plenty of lounges and the surrounding gardens beautiful. I had the most wonderful facial at the Spa in the most divine setting and again it was well priced. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The only suggestion would be some better bikes (with adjustable seats). Highly recommended!
The front office staffs are a rather unfriendly lot. Asking them for assistance about moving around Krabi is an awful experience. The only thing they know is point you to the tour office located along the lobby. The hotel charges 30 baht to Krabi town and 80 baht to Aonang beach which is very reasonable. You can get a bus ride from the main road for 12 baht to town and find other means of transport to the beaches and other spots. Always check and ensure that you get the hotel transport back to Maritime Park or you'll be slaughtered by the locals "Tuk tuk".
