Ban Ting Rai Holidays

This resort has the structure and ambiance of a 4 star resort but is unfortunately run like a 3 star resort. We were pretty surprised that the staff at the hotel weren't very nice, especially compared to other Thailand hotels. Housekeeping never came (we stayed 4 nights) and we always had to call around 5pm to request they come to our room. They offer free shuttles to Ao Nang and Railay Beach but space is limited and every time we tried to sign up (several hours in advance) they told us it was fully booked already. The pool doesn't serve alcohol and every time we came we struggled to find a place to sit. It also took us about 10 minutes of walking to get from the room to the pool. You can ask for a ride from the lobby but it's often a 10-15 min wait. All in all, we were a bit disappointed with our stay.

pictures of the area surrounding hotel are better than it actually appears, no really swimmable sea was my biggest disappointment and definitely far away not turquoise water as pictured. OK breakfast. new year dinner was amazing and outstanding. super relaxed vibe and everything is cozy and close by. exterior is rather outdated. i wouldn't stay here again but with the right expectations it could work out better. few nice beach cafes 3-5 mins walking along the beach. villa is basic as pictured, updated interior and good size wise. stuff is cooperating.

Beautiful hotel a little inconvenient to get to the beach you will need to have the Bolt app downloaded but otherwise it was amazing!

Excellent hotel. Beautiful views from walk out poolw

Anawa Krabi is every bit as tranquil as expected. We have been in Krabi several times, during our stay with Anawa we were just looking forward to some down time and quiet luxury, and the resort didn't disappoint. The reception communal area is striking with the water feature, our villa with individual pool is thoughtful constructed and tastefully decorated. The staff are helpful and pull out all stops to accommodate our needs. We stayed in the resort during the new year festive period, and had the joy of spending NYE in an intimate and well organised celebrative evening. While we didn't venture out of the resort often, it does offer excursions bookings for those who want to experience more of Krabi. For the occasions we headed out, the resort helped us book the local taxi, so commute is relatively straight forward in our experience. We look forward to our next stay with Anawa in the future, when we are in the area again.
