Krabi La Playa Resort

Krabi, Thailand

Virgin rating

The hotel

The gorgeous gardens and pools at Krabi La Playa Resort provide a great getaway, offering up endless hours of relaxation. One of the resort’s swimming pool is pretty traditional, a series of interconnecting pools accompanied by sunbeds, poolside dining, and swim-up bar with the other ‘Emerald Pool’ is something a bit different. Both stretch right up to some of the hotel’s renovated rooms and suites, allowing guests to step right into the water from their terrace. The two acre gardens are just as inviting, with their own bar and seating spots. And, if that’s not quite enough space to relax, you could always head to the sands of Ao Nang and Noppharat Thara beaches, 150 meters away, with shopping, dining and nightlife nearby.

We arrived late at night, but we were warmly welcomed and taken to our room and everything explained to us. We have a nice room , we had asked before hand to have a room on the top floor with a view, this we have we can see the sea and the mountains. The bed is very comfortable and the sheets our changed when ever we like. The bathroom has a walk in shower and the water is lovely and hot with a good pressure there is also a bath but we have not used it yet. The towels are changed every day. We have a kettle , coffee machine and fridge we are also given two bottles of water each day, and have a beach bag with towels to take to the pool or to the beach. There is an iron and ironing board, I know most people don’t use them but we are here for a while so I make use of them. There is a big balcony with a table and chairs and it’s very pleasant sitting there overlooking the garden and the pool. Breakfasts we have a large selection of fresh fruits, cold meats ,cheese and salad, plus hot foods traditional Thai and western and a fresh egg station where two young girls cook to order. All the staff are amazing and can not do enough to make your stay memorable. Special thanks to Nina who greats us with a welcoming smile and helps and advise us when we have a question. I can also recommend the Thai Massage at the hotel it was amazing and so professional, as I have heard about the parlours out in the street being very suggestive. The hotel is only a short walk to the beach ,restaurants and shops. We are staying here for four weeks and are so pleased we choose Krabi La Playa Resort. Read less
