The hotel

Reserving itself a relatively peaceful pitch along the otherwise popular postcard-perfect Ao Nang Beach, this sea-facing sanctuary gives you the best of both worlds — seaside seclusion and all the life and fun of Krabi. This brand new beachfront hotel is ideal for those wanting to lounge by the large free-form pool or beachfront terrace during the day and take a short stroll down to Krabi’s local restaurants and bars for the evening. It also comes with all the benefits of being a new hotel on the block, including bright contemporary décor, the latest in-room mod cons, and long-favoured luxuries like Thai-inspired treatments at Spa Cenvaree.

During our visit to Sands Beach Club and Bar, one of the highlights of our entire beachside experience was the incredible service we received from Ya. From the moment we arrived, Ya welcomed us with a warm and genuine smile that immediately set the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable day. What stood out the most was how approachable and friendly Ya was throughout our stay. Whether we had a question about the menu, needed help finding the perfect cocktail, or simply wanted a local recommendation, Ya was always just a few steps away—ready to assist with patience and enthusiasm. It never felt forced; she has a natural charm that makes you feel right at home. She was also very attentive without being intrusive. Our drinks never ran low, and our requests were remembered and followed up on with care. Her attention to detail and the way she engages with guests truly reflect the spirit of excellent hospitality. What makes Ya exceptional is not just her professionalism, but also her genuine kindness. You can tell she enjoys what she does, and it shows in how she interacts with everyone—locals and tourists alike. In a place where the atmosphere is already amazing, Ya adds that extra spark that turns a good visit into a great one. If you ever find yourself at Sands Beach Club and Bar, be sure to say hi to Ya. She’s not just a staff member—she’s a big part of what makes the experience unforgettable. Read less

The hotel is quietly located near the end of the beach. We stayed in a deluxe room in block six on second floor. The room was a bit tired but comfortable. There is a lift to upper floors. It was a bit of a hike to the pools and the breakfast room as this block is furthest away from these but it was quiet. We had a garden view of adjacent buildings. Saw squirrels on the balcony. We missed breakfast the first morning, partly due to jet lag but mostly due to the TV’s “amenity resort guide”, provided by scanning a QR code, not being in English. That was disappointing.q We couldn’t establish what time breakfast was served until and when we went down they were just clearing. No offer of anything . The resort was quiet due to off season, easy to get a lounger by the pool. Although the pool area was quiet we found we always had to search for a staff member to get pool towels, perhaps that’s the policy. The hotel is a short walk to loads of lively bars and restaurants etc on a the front of Ao Nang beach. We ate at the Last Fisherman Bar right beside the hotel a couple of times. There was live music and a fire show one evening. It’s a good spot to watch the sunset. We walked along the beach to the Monkey trail which is a short distance from the hotel. Saw no monkeys. Be warned the trail is strenuous 10 to 15 minute walk mostly uphill and the path mainly board walk. The beach on the other side is however well worth the climb. Read less
