The hotel

Krabi, on Thailand's shimmering southwest coast, promises an exotic and laid-back vision of Southeast Asia with plenty of fun things to do and idyllic locations to rest and take it easy. Ao Nang Beach, around 30-minute drive from Krabi Airport, is absolutely no exception and checking into the Holiday Inn Resort presents an excellent chance to experience the traditional charm and hospitality of Thailand, all within an extremely reasonable budget. Thanks to the resort's setting you'll find everything you need either on-site or within walking distance with daily kids' clubs, playgrounds and teen-focused areas ensuring the whole family has a unforgettable time away from home. Just over 170 guest rooms, and suites, including kids' suites, provide a contemporary and pristine pocket to call your very own, with some stunning pool, bay and garden views to take in from your private balcony or terrace area. If getting closer to the action's more your thing, then there's a freeform pool, water slides and a swim-up pool bar, all ready and waiting and thanks to complimentary WiFi, making the folks back home green with envy is now easier than ever. A visit to the fully-equipped Salila Spa or state-of-the-art fitness suite, are just what you need to work up an appetite which is all good as you'll find a rooftop restaurant and choice of bars to help you unwind and relax after yet another awesome day in paradise.

The best staff i have ever seen, they are so supportive. The resort in itself is a place you would not like to go out of. Very beautiful landscape and room are so nice, i loved it. Bew and Ploy they both are the best, i liked how they both helped me out during check and telling me things to go around in Krabi.

Kids had a wonderful time in the pool, slides were fantastic. Jef from security was wonderful. He made a recommendation for an excellent driver who took us on a tour of the Emerald pool and hot springs. This was a much cheaper option and we weren’t on a schedule.

Overall, fantastic hotel. I’d say it’s 4* not 5* but very good standard, just not a luxury 5*. Pools are fab and our room was lovely just lacks any space to put clothes away.

Overall, fantastic hotel. I’d say it’s 4* not 5* but very good standard, just not a luxury 5*. Pools are fab and our room was lovely just lacks any space to put clothes away. The bathroom was a bit smelly but I think that’s just Thai sewage system rather than a fault of the hotel. Staff all very friendly and helpful. The best thing for us was the location of this hotel, you’ve got everything on your doorstep. Great restaurants, beach, boats and shops but it’s not noisy at all! A real oasis of calm, the grounds are beautifully kept and the hotel was spotlessly clean. Would definitely recommend this hotel for families or couples. Read less

Had a very nice stay here. Staff was amazing, especially Dao at the front desk. She was super helpful. Breakfast was very good, pool big, but my 2 complaints were even though room was very nice, no cabinets or draws to unpack our clothing and last night at 12 AM kids playing outside near pool very loud. Overall a wonderful stay.

Such a lovely hotel, nothing too much trouble. We particularly loved Guy at the pool bar, he knew our drinks, always friendly and obliging and plays some great house tunes! I'd love to come again next year. Would recommend a swim up room if you can
