ok, here's this. i read a recent review of the hotel i booked before i left for Krabi, it was a really horrible and negative review which made me regret choosing it.
however, when we reached there, it's not what i expected.
i know, expect the worst, right? nah.. i decided to hope for the best no matter how bad it'll turn out. for a 3 star hotel, it's GREAT.the food was good. for breakfast, you have so many choices, the usual american breakfast, including a different local dish each day, another table filled with fruits and salads, if you want fried eggs or omelette, just let the waitress know and she'll have it cooked in front of you too. since i booked the hotel that includes the tour package, they provide the lunch as well, then after the tour, the hotel would provide the dinner for 2, which they'll give you a menu to choose upon arrival, the food was good. the service was terrific. and you can use the bicycles provided without having to pay rent. you can borrow their towels and mats to go to the beach. there're umbrellas in the hotel room. our room was really really spacious. one step out the door, on your right were bamboo sticks shaped like clothes hanger where you can dry your wet clothes. the bathroom has a bathtub and it's spacious as well. not to mention that the design of the bathtub also have a drain-like filled with stones to keep the water from flooding the floor after bathing. very logical design. the tv is a samsung flat-screen, true, there mayn't be many channels to choose from, apart from BBC news, australian network, Aljazeera and some other French and German channels, the rest were local. everything is quite clean there. the swimming pool was just in front of our room. if you want to go to town, it's quite a walk, probably around 15 - 20 mins, or you can just get a tuk-tuk(taxi) from the front desk, which costs 20 - 30 baht person. the standard price is 30 baht. no complaints here. there's wireless as well, some say that the nearer you are to the hotel restaurant, the stronger the connection is.
well, we were near, so, it was alright. the reception is just beside the restaurant. the spa isn't ready yet, so, those who wish for it will have to head elsewhere. airport transfer was also included in this package, they are very punctual, as in, 10 mins ahead, so we had to be ready 10 mins before the actual departure for the airport. as for the tour we joined, it was perfect. the tour guide took really good care of everyone on board. after lunch was provided, he'd serve us fruits when we get on the long boat. i'd recommend this hotel to everyone who isn't looking for high relaxation but just like me, to have good comfort in just using the hotel room for sleeping and spend all day outside exploring the town and surroundings. it's a very safe place with several police stations.
Room Tip: Rooms nearer to the restaurant/ reception have better wireless connection.
