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.

Brilliant hotel, very close to all amenities. We upgraded to a jacuzzi pool room, which was large and spacious. We made full use of the pool. There were days when we felt the cleaning could have been better, but it was sufficient. All the staff we met were lovely and helpful especially the lady on the trip desk, who put us at ease when we thought we were going to miss our ferry to Phuket. Breakfast was varied and plentiful, drinks at happy hour were lovely. Both pools were fab, we didn't go to the Emerald pool, but it looked quiet. We liked that the hotel was close to the little night market/restaurants, and within a 10 minutes walk to the beach, there were jellyfish and sea urchins all over so we didn't stay for long. If we were to go back to Krabi, we would definitely stay here again. Read less
