5-Star Hotels in Krabi Town

Unique luxury hotel with focus on „back to simplicity“. Authentic and sustainable concept, beautiful beach with individual villas and the stay feels more like a retreat surrounded by nature and silence.

The hotel staff were tremendous and a definite asset. Thoroughly enjoyed the morning yoga sessions we attended with Sasha, who ensured an inclusive session for all levels. In a lovely setting and away from it all but you will need to taxi, or use shuttle to get anywhere. There is a small bar just outside hotel - left as you exit - ran by a couple of local brothers. It’s worth a visit definitely. I get it’s an Eco Hotel and independent but many of the hotel facilities are not what you would expect of a 5 star: gym is very rudimentary and some of kit, not in great nick; the rooms - we had a swim up suite - were quite dated furniture-wise and showing signs of extended wear and tear for instance The wi-fi for us was non-existent in room, and very hit and miss (mostly miss) in and around pool area. I’d imagine this might be a big issue for young families… The breakfast was fine, as was the rooftop bar food. In summary a pleasant enough stay, but not sure it was value for money at the price, and not comparable really to hotels we’d stayed at beforehand and since on this trip. I’d say a four star at best…

While smoking on the balcony near the pool, a cigarette ash burned a hole in the sofa cover. The hotel demanded 11,500 Thai Baht for compensation, claiming it was a 50% discount. I asked the hotel for a purchase receipt, but they didn't provide one. Since we were in a hurry to get to the airport, we paid. I am extremely dissatisfied with this compensation amount! 11,500 Baht for an old, worn-out sofa cover? Please help me complain to the hotel management and protect my rights!

1. There are still quite a few hidden hygiene issues, and it's clear that the cleaning isn't very thorough. We stayed for two nights and only needed house-keeping once, right? Yet after taking a shower, I realized no bath towels had been provided. Luckily, we brought our own disposable ones. 2. The room had a rather heavy musty smell and needed more ventilation. It's recommended that the hotel provide air purifiers. The pool water gets quite cold as soon as night falls, making it pretty much unusable. 3. There were many Chinese guests during the holiday. It was said that the front desk spoke Chinese, but from start to finish, I didn't hear a single staff member speak a word of Chinese. However, all the staff were very polite. 4. Upon check-in, the staff mentioned a complimentary benefit where we could choose one of three options (spa for two / afternoon tea / set dinner). This was unexpected and a huge plus! For breakfast, you could choose between Chinese and Western options, and over our two-day stay, we practically tried everything. The dinner was exceptional, especially the curry (Photo 6), which has a rich shrimp paste base—if you have the palate for it, this will be the curry of a lifetime! Also, the free local specialty snacks provided by the hotel (coconut-flavored mini steamed buns, far left in Photo 3) literally melt in your mouth, sweet and refreshing! When checking out, I even asked the hotel where to buy them, and was told they are available on 7-Eleven online. 5. Earplugs are strongly recommended for sleeping. Otherwise, the birds and frogs outside the room will be noisy enough to make you question your sanity. 6. The location is very convenient. Just a short walk out the door leads to the main commercial street, making dining, shopping, and entertainment easily accessible. It's a 15-minute walk to Ao Nang Beach.

You get what you pay for, and this price truly delivers a 5-star experience. In the mornings, the hotel organizes Tai Chi sessions, and the combination of lush greenery and palm trees is absolutely beautiful. The sands of Mengon Beach are finer than those at Ao Nang. The accommodation environment is excellent, and the coffee from the machine is rich and flavorful. Having two sinks in the bathroom is a thoughtful touch that perfectly caters to our family's needs. There are multiple swimming pools, including two large ones, both offering ample space and excellent water quality.

The breakfast buffet was absolutely flawless! The hotel's pool and dinner service were also excellent. You don't even need to leave the hotel all day, and you can still enjoy the most beautiful sunset. It's truly the best choice for a hotel in Krabi!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Amazing Stay at Sofitel Krabi We have had the most wonderful stay at Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Resort. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome, and the whole experience has been absolutely fantastic. The resort itself is beautiful — peaceful, luxurious and surrounded by stunning scenery. The grounds are immaculate, the swimming pool is incredible, and there is such a relaxing atmosphere throughout the entire hotel. It really feels like a true escape. The staff deserve a special mention. Everyone we have encountered has been incredibly friendly, helpful and attentive, always greeting us with a smile and going out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. The service has genuinely made such a difference. Our room was lovely, comfortable and spacious, and the whole resort is exceptionally clean and well maintained. There is a real attention to detail that you would expect from Sofitel. The breakfast is also excellent, with a great choice of food and something for everyone. However, there were not many vegetarian options available, so it would be wonderful to see a wider selection of vegetarian dishes. This is only a small point, though, and certainly didn’t spoil our stay. Overall, we have absolutely loved our time here. Sofitel Krabi is a beautiful resort with wonderful staff, excellent facilities and a genuinely relaxing atmosphere. We would happily return and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a special stay in Krabi. Thank you to the whole team for making our holiday so memorable. ❤️🌴✨ A truly beautiful hotel and a fantastic experience — 5 stars from us! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing hotel! The rooms are clean, and housekeeping tidies up daily; if anything was left a bit messy, they neatly fold it. We had a room with direct access to a small pool. The staff are friendly; if they see you with bags, they offer to take you to your room in a golf cart. Breakfasts are varied, with stunning views of the Krabi mountains. I'm adding this hotel to my favorites!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was very clean, spacious, and well-maintained. The staff were exceptionally friendly and always greeted guests with a warm smile, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. The hotel environment is beautiful and relaxing, with a great location near the beach. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and attention to detail could be seen throughout the property. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant vacation experience.

This was my first time staying at a hotel with traditional Thai architecture, like what you’d see in palaces and temples, and it was such a cool experience. The room was totally worth the price, clean, tidy, and pretty spacious for just me traveling alone. The vibe of the place is peaceful and perfect for relaxing, yet it’s only a few steps away from the beach! There’s also a swimming pool which is great for families and kids friendly. Plus, there's a local night market not too far away, which was great to check out. The breakfast here was spot on, and the staff were all so nice and helpful. Overall, I had an amazing time and would definitely come back again! 😍
