    A minor drawback was that the restaurant staff's English proficiency was limited, so we recommend ordering local food for a smoother experience.

    This place is a real gem, offering exceptional value. Everything was outstanding – from the comfortable bed and the room's design to the relaxed atmosphere and facilities. We particularly enjoyed the complimentary kayak ride. The territory was calm, and the natural beauty was breathtaking. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    We did the prior research, so it was not a problem at all, but the resort is quite far from the touristy parts of Ao Nang and from the beach, around 20-30 mins on scooter. We rented a motorbike before coming and enjoyed the nature + comfort combo. The hotel is very stylish, but not for luxury lovers or perfectionists, I'd say. I personally loved the design and the idea, even though the old traditional furniture in the villas was not practical at all. Some parts of the outdoor furniture and terrasses were really in bad shape, but it was being replaced during our second stay. I found it very charming overall, not a typical hotel like there are thousands around the world.

    The special atmosphere, the quite particular interior design that gives the whole place a character. Lush greenery, beautiful river with free kayaks, beautiful pool, fish in the canals you can feed, fish in the completely transparent river Boutique hotel atmosphere with not too many rooms and vast territory, many cosy places to sit or lay down with a book. Lots of shade to protect from the sun Friendly staff, very good Western type cakes The beds were super confy, aircon just fine, showers/wc functioning well. We stayed a week right after arrival and came back for a few days before the flight home. It was the highlight of our one month stay in terms of accommodation. We tried two villas and a minitel (regular room, quite small), all were comfortable. The villas are just grand, very good quality/price ratio, I recommend!

    We asked for a quiet room however on Minitel the other room was connected with us through locked door which is not properly insulated for noice. We heard our neighbours talking and having a great night experience which we wish we wouldn’t have to be a part of by the sound.

    It was a beautiful place away from town and tourists. We enjoyed it a lot. Free kayak, nice pool, free yoga mats or bikes, 5min away from a new and beautiful elephant sanctuary.

    Out in the jungle Pool was quality and the river was nice to float down Basic but decent free breakfast Restaurant on site had great food and beers Beds were very comfortable with long pillows Shower was good enough to wash away the day

    There should be more activities and infact a minimart very nearby or at the venue itself. We got the family room when we arrived. It was a beautiful room but for 4 of us adults there is only one toilet n one shower. That was difficult. The 2nd day they move us to 2 minitels, and we had our own bathroom which is better.

    The staff were so friendly especially Yah. She helped us a lot in getting halal food, transport, problems with the rooms etc. If you like natire , this is a beautiful place to stay in.

    Nothing much to say, everything was really good. Our room wasn't cleaned properly on day one, but it was rectified 2-3 hours after check-in, as we were waiting on the cleaning staff to arrive. Other minor things would be that there were some non removable stains on table tops/bathroom slabs, and the door locks weren't perfectly fitted, so they wouldn't lock. Also it seems one of the guests ended up smoking in the bathroom, so much so that we could smell the smoke through the drains of our room.

    Let me preface by saying that we like quiet places, and we like renting cars/bikes. So Blu Monkey Pooltara being far from the hubbub of Ao Nang and surrounded by beautiful Karsts and greenery was the perfect accommodation to begin our Krabi trip. The beds are super comfy, the bathroom is adequately large, the balcony is spacious with stunning views (we could see sunrise from our room). The facilities like free bicycle, kayak and the natural pool were also a big plus. We felt so content swimming around in the natural pool that we didn't feel the need to visit parks with similar cleaner/better emerald pools. The swimming pool is also appropriately sized. They also had good parking space for our car, and there is a seven eleven 5 mins away, and a lot of tourist attractions are also nearby (we loved Khao Khom Dam, Thapom Klong Song Nam and Kuan Nom Saow View point).

    There’s a few things to see within hiking distance but it’s hard to get by without a car or a bike.

    Superb vibe, choice between the river and the outdoor swimming pool, good hotel restaurant with local cousine.

    It was so beautiful! Exactly like in the pictures and a perfect mix between comfortable hotel and jungle/nature. It is a bit far but there is a lovely little authentic village 2km from the hotel. You can rent a scooter and have it delivered to the hotel, or use their bicycles for free. I miss this place already!

    Outside furniture, river terases look old and not taken care of. I was however not shocked, seems like there is a different standard here in Thailand. Perfectionism? Never heard of 😅 So if you don't mind these things, a great place to stay in the nature & with all the modern comfort

    The atmosphere: jungle sounds, river, stylish interiors and exteriors. Free kayaks for an adventure at any time of the day. The surroundings are so beautiful! Pool is so nice, not crowded. Very good cakes at the café. Food not expensive, delivered to the room if you ask to. Personnel very friendly and willing to help. We stayed in minitel and then in a villa, liked both. Of course villas are times bigger than rooms. Already booked it for second stay!
