Krabi La Playa Resort

Krabi, Thailand

Star 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.

I have stayed at this Hotel about 4 times and never been sorry either with location or the hotel choice. We arrived at the hotel to be greeted by very friendly staff. The booking in was done efficiently and we were soon showed to our rooms. We stayed in room 415 and 416 Interleading rooms which helps when travelling with family. The rooms were very spacious and had a balcony over looking the main pools. The rooms had wifi, a tv and a desk that you could work on or sit at. Towels for the pool , a basket, Water, tea, coffee and a filter coffee machine was provided. In the bathroom was shampoo, lotion and conditioner as well as cotton buds and toothbrush. The room was clean at all times and so was the bedding. We were near the lift too, so once going down, a short walk over the pool area and you were at the breakfast room. We swam at the pool and there is a happy hour for cocktails – 2 for 1 in the late afternoon. Games: snooker, slider and a gym The breakfast was acceptable with tea, coffee, juices, eggs, bacon some thai food, cereals, fruit etc and this was enough to start anyones day. The breakfast room was never really full so was easy to manoeuvre around. I saw there was a travel agency at the hotel but we never made use of it. You can also hire motorcycles from the hotel. The hotel was near the beach, shops and restaurants. If you walk to the main road and turn left, you will find all the shops. If you turn right there are mostly restaurants and the night market. It is very easy to use the taxis or any form of transport near the hotel. There is also a 711 near the hotel, so when you feel peckish you can get that famous Toastie every one talks about. The La Playa has never disappointed me. Thanks to the staff that were always so friendly and very helpful. We will see you again. Helen Barnard Daniel Barnard Vanessa Udell Read less
