    The swimming pool is a little small for this kind of hotel.

    The breakfast buffet had a variety of choices and the food was delicious. The staff was immensely kind. The view from the restaurants is breathtaking. It is the perfect stay for a honeymoon or for couples in general.

    Possibly my favourite view in all the places I've stayed in Thailand
    • Leisure trip

    • Deluxe Room

    The pool area was quite small & the design left very few places for the hotel to arrange the sun loungers so it was always difficult trying to find even couple of beds together for our family of 4. The pool was also mostly left unattended so there was no one to keep an eye on the fairly standard selfish behaviour of groups taking random beds (one in the sun on one side, one in the shade on the other side etc) & this left lots of other groups, not just ours, waiting for people to use their common sense & release a bed. The deck over the oriental pond by the restaurant looked a bit tired & there were workmen replacing some of the rotten/worn boards during our stay.

    The rooms were lovely. The main restaurant down by the beach was nicely laid out & served a really good mixture of Western & Thai dishes & the staff were all really friendly. We had a couple of really nice dishes here that we didn't see in too many other places around Krabi. The view to the 'forest of islands' just off shore was worth all the money to stay here. We also liked the monitor lizards wandering around the lawned area between the 2 restaurants just in front of the beach.

    The dream

    Truly hard to find one thing, but I'd suggest to the hotel to put some sockets by the bed to charge the phones during the night. The existing sockets are not near the bed.

    This hotel looks like it was taken from a movie scene. If you're looking for partying, night clubs and buzz with friends, don't come here, as there is nothing to do after 10pm. But if you're looking for some peace, quiet, meditation, relaxation, 10/10 this is the place to come to. Framed by tropical forest, on one side, and by a paradisiac beach on the other, you feel immersed in some sort of Blue Lagoon movie. The hotel is small sized, not many rooms which allows the perfect conditions for a restful and peaceful stay. The breakfast is served in a gorgeous restaurant on the beach where you can contemplate the sea with the scenic longtail boat. When I thought this would only be result of photoshoped pictures, this hotel just proved me wrong. Cleanliness is of the highest standards. The room is gorgeous, super comfy and the bed is amazing. There is free Nespresso coffee in the room (important, as it's not so common in Asia). If you like asian (and in particular thai) food, you must try the hotel restaurants. Food is superb, delicious and (despite no being cheap according to Thailand standards) it is still cheap as per european standards. There is also italian restaurant with very good pasta, risotto and pizzas (surprisingly). Finally, and most important of all, the service is truly 5 stars. All the staff is so delicate, so kind, so humble. They will always stop what they are doing to say hello as you pass by and they will do anything to solve any query you have. On our particular case, we had a big issue upon arrival in the airport, where we were left with no taxi and no option to come to the hotel, at night (as Krabi goes to sleep at 10pm) and Tubkaak managed to get us a taxi in 20min. To the hotel: never cease to provide highest standards of service. Summary: I've been to many 5 stars hotels but this is definitely the best hotel and best holidays I've ever had in my life. Strongly recommend.

    We were disappointed with the scuba diving trip we went on, using the leaflet in the hotel's guide. They may wish to update their recommendations as the trip was not as safe and the diving area less interesting than others we have been on in Thailand.

    The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, they work so very hard to make your stay enjoyable. We were helped a lot to book different excursions and activities. The hotel was very accommodating in meeting my gluten intolerance needs, and I was served a large range of different breakfasts that I could eat. The main breakfast is also exceptional. The views from the restaurant were great! Lots of nice touches to celebrate our honeymoon.

    Needed a local shop within walking distance for us to get snacks. Service by the beach at happy hour could have been better.

    We loved the views from the beach, the beach, the pool villa was lovely, a great size and clean and tidy. The staff were brilliant.

    Since it is a resort hotel that you pay much more than standards in Thailand, i believe it should offer more service/benefit. But the situation is opposite. They charge twice as much for services such as airport shuttle, which I think should be free. The hotel wants 1500 baht while the taxi takes you for 700 baht for instance. Or booking Hong Island visit via agent costs 1500 baht while hotel asks 3000 baht. Apart from that, please be aware that the hotel is extremely calm and more family oriented. I was trying to relax so I was ok with it but if you are solo traveler, you should think twice before booking because the hotel is all for couples and families.

    Staff was amazing. They are helpful, extremely friendly. Hotel's architecture is also great. Since it is on coastline, whole ambiance was really romantic.
