Surrounded by greenery and cliffs, Tonsai Bay Resort is a 2-minute walk from Tonsai Beach and offers villas with private balconies. It features a diving centre, beachfront restaurant and bar.

Tonsai Bay Resort is reachable via boat only by a 10-minute boat ride from Aow-Nang Pier, which is a 30-minute drive from Krabi International Airport.

We had two bungalows for 4 people (2 adults and 2 children). The rooms where excellent with everything needed (hot shower, tea kettle, fridge, daily bottled water and clean towels). Clean, quiet, and comfortable. The staff was very helpful in arranging transport. The setting is beautiful: nestled into forested cliffs that rise straight up and over the resort (yes, if you look straight up, the cliffs actually overhang much of the resort; it's good that falling rocks are not a problem). A troop of monkeys lived in the tree and bushes outside our deck, but they did not bother us, other than leaving some monkey droppings on the path. There are some excellent activities available onsite: massage; a great beach (at high tide); kayaks for exploring the many nearby sea caves and islands; and of course, some of the best rock climbing in the world.

Resort located on Tonsai beach and only accessible by boat. It is just a 10-minute walk from the Ton Sai Bay Pier.

Dream Valley Resort offers an accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool and views of the limestone mountain.

Booking seriously overcharges for this hotel. The hotel had lots of availability for other nights. Booking falsely claimed that they wete” sold out.” This caused travel difficulties. Avoid booking.

Wonderful gardening on the way to the rooms! Comfortable and broadly designed for a welcoming stay. Organized us a comfortable longboat to Ao Nam Mao pier and then transfer in a chique minivan to Khao Sok National park. Very comfy, thank you! Staff was very helpful!

Railay Phutawan Resort is located along Railay Beach in Krabi, surrounded by green mountains and the beautiful Andaman Sea. This tropical getaway enjoys easy access to the nearby islands.

Guests may arrange an exciting day trip at the tour desk. The resort also provides a sun terrace and scenic landscaped gardens, ideal locations for an evening stroll.

With heavy suitcases it is a bit of a mission to get up to the resort but if you inform them your arrival time they'll send a tuk tuk to pick you up. By foot everything is in 10-15min reach. We had the dou le room with pool-and mountain view and it was amazing to wake up to this scenery. The pool was great to chill and relax. Staff is very friendly. Breakfast was delicious. I almost couldn't stop eating. It's a mix of Thai and western dishes.

    Tonsai Bay Resort is just the place to kick back and watch the world go by. It’s a haven for climbers and away, a short walk, from the more hectic Railay Bay. To sit on the beach as dusk approaches is sublime.

    I like the fact the resort is near the climbing area and they provide buggy service to recieve you or drop you off at the boat area. They also change your towel daily by the housekeeping

    This is a beach resort that is frequented by rockclimbers. excellent facilities. The beach is very nice. This resort is not extremely luxurious, has no swimming pool and a nice basic restaurant. Staff is very friendly. You can walk to another beach but you have to climb a little or walk at low tide along the beach. This neighbouring beach is rather touristic.

    Read the other reviews and this is what you get. The place suffered after COVID-19. What was meant to become a more fancy 'resort style' hotel never got finished. So there are pros and cons. The rooms are huge and you have 24-hr electricty so the fan and internet will work at all times. The rooms are unfinished (ceiling unpainted, some damage in the wooden walls), but for the price of a backpacker place it's good value. Management is friendly and helpful. For meals (incl. breakfast) you need to go somewhere else.

    The swimming pool 💙 The nature around and inside the resort, you could see and hear the birds. The room was quite spacious, nice chairs outside near the door. They give you a ride to the beach after stay. Good wifi and really nice breakfast, they cook you eggs on the spot and there's also plenty of choices.

    Quiet and beautiful bay only accessible by boat. Popular with climbers, but there were all kinds of people as well, including families. The beach was not crowded at all, compared to Railay Beach. There is a whole village kind of hidden in the jungle behind the resort. The hike to Railay Beach is very interesting. In the room we got a bunch of free snacks and water.

    The staff was very nice and helpful. The pool was nice. If you want to be close to Railay it's good. The resort is very near Tonsai beach.

    what’s not to like about Tinidee Beach Resort, the location is amazing, arriving by long boat and seeing the accommodation on stilts with the beautiful views in front was wonderful

    the vibe and the location of this place is just unbelievably magical . if you go rock climbing this is your place ‘cause you’ll meet likeminded ppl. it’s really quite, and doesn’t feel like touristic at all. now they are recovering from Covid but they are already getting ready for high season. if I come back to Thailand, I’ll make sure to pay them a visit :) if you expect some luxury resort, I think this is not your place to stay :) the place is just nice as it is, and it’s part of its charm.
