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.

Stayed at this hotel 4 nights and wow, the staff are the most unhelpful, and unfriendliest I have ever encountered. Everything we asked of them, their initial response was that they cannot help. We encountered no willingness to help, and lies too. Because a few moments later, their response would change and could “sort of” help. Example: the lobby… Read more
Stayed at this hotel 4 nights and wow, the staff are the most unhelpful, and unfriendliest I have ever encountered. Everything we asked of them, their initial response was that they cannot help. We encountered no willingness to help, and lies too. Because a few moments later, their response would change and could “sort of” help. Example: the lobby has a coffee station but it was dirty and no clean spoons. I asked for a clean spoon and they said “Sorry, no clean spoons” - why then have a coffee station at the lobby? Why not go get a clean one from the kitchen? Surely there is one clean spoon in this whole hotel. But they just did not want to help us with any request made. This is a small example of MANY that occurred during our stay. Shocking service. So unfriendly. Will never be back. Read less

Krabi La Playa Resort & Spa. Another wonderful holiday here. Ms Katie and all her staff were amazing. So very helpful and friendly. The weather was perfect which made the holiday even more special. The hotel is perfectly positioned to access all areas of Aou Nang. Looking forward already to next year.

Great hotel, lovely staff that go out of their way to make your stay an enjoyable experience . We treated ourselves to a swim up room which was fantastic and highly recommended. The pool is fabulous with plenty of sunbeds available. Rooms are large with comfy beds. Location is great, quiet but within easy walking of bars,resturants and night markets. All the staff are lovely but special thanks to Ake the barman and of course the lovely beautiful Katie who really does go the extra mile. Highly recommend the Krabi La Playa Resort and plan to go back later this year and again in 2025. Read less
