I loved the room and facilities. Gorgeous place, amazing view, peaceful and quiet, the staff are wonderfully friendly. I had a great Thai massage here. Very close to Aonang Beach, and that was fun. Paddle boarding was fun. The Velcro safety ankle bracelet on the paddle board was very worn and I was t sure it would hold. Something to replace. There is some west and tear on furniture here and there but I didn’t mind. The breakfast options were astounding. For me as a gluten free person I would love a few more options. The chef was more than happy to let me know which items were gluten free.

This place has just one thing going for it. The location is amazing. The view from the room is outstanding. Service and anything else you might expect from a 4 or 5 star hotel with pricing to match is not there. We would not recommend this location and it is a place we would not try to stay again.

Low maintenance. Borderline filthy… sad
The hotel is suffering from very very low maintenance. Its sad because its such a beautiful resort. I really suggest Centara group or to invest in deep renovation or to change the manager. Some things cannot be unseen and left like this. Its a scandal.

A beautiful resort with good food - breakfast spread was amazing. Nice pool with a small water slide. Be ready to walk over a small hill thru a steep wooden staircase called the monkey trail if you wanna get to Ao Nang Beach. Nice speed boat takes you in and out of the hotel however this may not be convenient for all guests. The hotel buggy (golf cart) takes a while to come for the transportation of all the guests around the hotel but the staff try really hard and are very helpful despite being overwhelmed. Hotel was full even in low season. Our room had a hot tub which was superb and the view to the ocean was even better.

The resort is beautiful. I don't think you can find more beautiful. Rooms are a tad dated and could use some upgrades. I also think they should have more frequent boats running to ao nang. But other than that i highly recommend. I would stay there again.

The resort itself was amazing, right on the beach with a great pool. The only downfall is if you want to do some shopping or get out of the resort, you have to take a boat shuttle or walk the monkey trail. The continental breakfast was great as they had many options to choose from. However, restaurants in the resort were very pricey (at least we felt like)!

From the beginning it was very tough as the Hotel has a fake location where you arrive to an empty building and then a bus transports you for the boat pick up which is almost 20 to 25 minutes until you arrive to the beach where there's a tiny wooden boat that transports you to the main hotel. This boat was delayed for almost 35 minutes and then once you get on the boat, it's almost a 35 minute ride. The boat is very incapable and very unprofessional for a five star hotel it's open from the all sides, unconditioned, and you could get very wet from the waves as I got very wet from the sea and they are very harsh Mid-sea the benches you sit on are made of wood, which is very uncomfortable specially when the right is very bouncy on the wave. Since they load your baggage along the boat with you and 10 other people, you could expect all your baggage to get wet because once they put them on the floor of the boat and the waves starts hitting the bottom of the boat which gets completely filled with water, it could get into your bags like it happened to me. Once you arrive to the main hotel on the island, you'd have to walk for 10 minutes through the pool and the beach to arrive to the lobby and then wait almost 20 to 25 minutes to get your room. There's only one person that is available to help you check in, and then they take one family per time to their room so you'd have to wait until they come back to pick you up and show you to your room.

Isolation was a plus point initially, but transportation to/from was limited. Some guests while I was there were boorish and demanding. Staff were a delight, but forgot some minor requests. The premises need a lick of paint, but it was clear some maintenance, particularly to gardens and infrastructure was taking place.

It is incredibly dated. They have about half the number of staff they need. Basic things like showerhead and door locks are all poorly constructed. Very limited access to the outside. They don’t tell you about the floating dock until after you’ve already booked. All in all, fairly terrible experience.

How could anyone rate this hotel good? Please please take this review into consideration before booking. The service for the boat transfer is not worth your time, your money, ANYTHING. This hotel is only accessible by boat, or monkey trail (hike) which is not something anyone wants to do more than once, especially not to finish a relaxing night. I had reserved a boat to the hotel at 8:30 after an island tour. Our tour ran late and we arrived at the pier at 8:40. The worker at the pier said that the last three boats 9:15, 10, & 11 were full and that we basically had to take a taxi to the whole other side of the beach and do the monkey trail. He did not give a crap about us being stuck at the pier, not to mention, there was no tuk tuks or taxis around and the path to get to the main part of the road was pitch black? How can this hotel know that there are guests of theirs at the pier and not give a crap enough about them to at least run an extra boat or help us figure it out? What if you go for dinner and decide you want to grab drinks after? They could not give less of a crap how we got back to the hotel even if we swam. Awful experience and you MUST reserve a boat 1 day in advance. 2k bhat for a drink and 2 bad meals. For the price of this hotel the stress is so not worth it. PLEASE Save your money, save your peace, find somewhere that you won’t have this issue. I ignored some of the reviews warning about this before booking because I figured “how bad can it be” but it ruin

Boat service too and from the hotel is good, it goes every hour from hotel to pier. But the pier is too far from Ao Nang (shops, restaurants, bars etc) and then you have to get taxi there, which isn’t cheap! Takes about 15 mins from hotel to pier and then another 10 mins in taxi to Ao Nang. Quickest way to Ao Nang is by walking the monkey trail, which isn’t easy, a lot of steep stairs takes about 20 minutes, wouldn’t recommend with young kids. Hotel prices for food, alcohol, massage etc is so so expensive, double or triple the price for the same thing you get in town! Breakfast buffet was ok, not a lot of options for western cuisine, they mainly cater for Indians, most guests there were Indian when we stayed. Overall, the hotel is nice, rooms cleaned everyday and staff are friendly and helpful. It you want a resort style holiday, laying by the pool all day then it’s good but very inconvenient if you want to explore and see other parts of Krabi
