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.

Great location, pretty central. Good value but needed to pay for breakfast. Thought was included in my booking, but this was my bad. Low season so hotel very peaceful. Staff, very polite and helpful. Throughly recommend. First time in Thailand, so nothing to compare with. Very happy with stay and experience. Thank you.

We arrived mid May for a 13night stay. We had been in communication with the resort prior to arrange interconnecting rooms as we were travelling as a family. Their communication through booking.com was fast. When we arrived a smiling reception team greeted us however our room request could not be satisfied. We were given two rooms side by side, one twin, one double. This unfortunately meant I had to share a bed with my 14 year old daughter, not ideal. The reception staff did offer us 2 twin rooms but they were no where near each other, not ideal for a family holiday. The rooms are spacious, bathrooms are also spacious. Each room has mosquito plug ins which were really good and the cleaners appeared to spray the rooms daily. Bed was very comfortable. Towels changed daily and the provision of pool towels was welcomed. We didn't eat at the hotel but from others on resort they were happy with the quality of breakfast. The bar staff were great at the pool, Nanny made us smile on a daily basis. We booked two trips through the resort and the last booking couldn't have been more helpful although they really do prefer cash. Check out was smooth. We settled the bill the night before as we knew we were leaving early. The location is good. Close to local shops and restaurants, our favourite being KoDam. The pool was maintained well and clean. I recommend finding the emerald pool for a quieter time but the main pool was not exactly noisy. If you are travelling with a younger family I would say there are more suitable resorts in the immediate area. Also the cash machine in the hotel, charges excessive amounts to take money out and also swallowed a card of ours. The staff were less than helpful around this. This seemed to be a common theme with some reception staff, they didn't appear to go above and beyond and to me this is an essential quality for the first staff you interact with. Overall we had a good stay here. Read less

Wonderful Holiday at Krabi La Playa Resort – Highly Recommended! For May 2026, we had originally booked a trip to Krabi La Playa Resort in Ao Nang, Thailand. Our journey was supposed to take us from Düsseldorf via Abu Dhabi to Phuket. Unfortunately, the trip was cancelled at the end of April due to the conflict in the Middle East. As a result, we had to quickly find an alternative. We eventually found a new route via Amsterdam and Kuala Lumpur to Phuket and decided to book Krabi La Playa Resort once again. We were very interested in staying in a swim-up room, but unfortunately this option was not available through our travel agency. Thanks to the outstanding support and flexibility of Kannika from the Marketing Department and Mike from Reservations, we were able to arrange a Deluxe Pool Access Room directly via WhatsApp. We are extremely grateful for their help. One suggestion for the resort would be to offer more travel agencies the opportunity to book these fantastic rooms. We arrived in Ao Nang on May 14th. Despite arriving late in the evening, the welcome was excellent. Check-in was quick and efficient, and we received our requested room, number 109. The room was spacious, clean, and featured a large comfortable bed, along with everything you would expect from a Deluxe room. The bathroom was also spacious enough for two people and included a good shower and toilet. The location of the resort is perfect. It is peaceful and quiet, yet only about 100 meters from the main street. From there, beaches, restaurants, and shops are all within easy walking distance. The breakfast was good, with a reasonable selection of bread, cold cuts, fruit, and egg dishes. One small point for improvement would be that the fried eggs are sometimes prepared in advance, meaning they are not always served hot and can become a little chewy. The entire resort is well maintained and kept very clean. Both the public areas and the rooms are cleaned to a high standard. The swimming pools are beautiful, clean, and well cared for. It is even possible to see the pool's pH levels and chlorine content, which gives guests confidence in the quality of maintenance. We spent two wonderful weeks here and honestly cannot mention any significant negatives. We would happily recommend Krabi La Playa Resort to family, friends, and anyone looking for a relaxing holiday in Thailand. Thank you, Krabi La Playa Resort, for a beautiful and memorable vacation. We would love to return in the future! Read less

All of the staff are warm and friendly, the pool must be mentioned as being a nice feature with two infinity pools and a bar situated at the poolside. Very handy indeed.☺️ The food has also been very nicely prepared and tastes great. Breakfast offerings are varied from Pastries and toast, Fruit, cereals and a varied hot food offerings, many offerings are available for juices, coffee types and tea. If you need any help for finding things to do during a stay, you will find a dedicated desk at reception with a staff member who will be more than willing to help you with your decisions, We often found this was Staffed by Maria and wan ☺️, very knowledgeable and polite with nothing too much trouble.🙏🏻 Read less
