The hotel itself was very good, set...
The hotel itself was very good, set in very peaceful surroundings - lake, mountains and rain forest which was very pretty and tranquil. A slight drawback was the distance from the beach (20 mins by shuttle bus) - I had not realised it was so far. In reality, we were happy by the pool, which was lovely, and only went to the beach on one day. Food was good but because of the hotel's isolation, there was not much to do, unless you headed out to Krabi town (see below) or Ao Nang beach (quite far and may be difficult to get transport back, although we didn't try this at night). The hotel shuttle was not very frequent and can get fully booked - something they need to look at (I heard some other guests complaining about this).
Service was acceptable but some staff were obviously new and in need of training. The hotel manager was not visible.
If you want peace, quiet and tranquil surroundings, then I would recommend the hotel. If you want nightlife, or even a moonlit stroll on the beach after dinner, then Ao Nang beach or even Phuket would be a better choice.
