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.

Hotel location is good, down a side street but just off the headland that splits Ao Nang into 2 beaches so perfect for exploring either. Room was slightly dated but clean and had a decent shower with good water pressure and hot water. Staff always very friendly. Complimentary beach towels and bottle of water every day.

Hotel location is good, down a side street but just off the headland that splits Ao Nang into 2 beaches so perfect for exploring either. Room was slightly dated but clean and had a decent shower with good water pressure and hot water. Staff always very friendly. Complimentary beach towels and bottle of water every day. Breakfast was buffet style with plenty of choice. Pool area was really good, really large pool with 2 smaller pools in main area, swim up pool bar and always sunbeds available. Overall the Hotel is a decent base for exploring the area. Read less

Great location.. lovely room overlooking the pool with the biggest bed I have ever seen! Staff here are great and very attentive.

The staff were amazing and even cooked a birthday cake for Miss 11 year old as she had her birthday while staying here. The rooms are large and super roomy. We loved the fact that there was a dehumidifier in the room too. They upgraded us and gave us an extra room for Mr 18 year old, he loved having his own room, this worked really well. Thanks to Katie and her team for an amazing stay. Read less
