Krabi Front Bay Resort

Lovely hotel

Didn’t spend much time in the hotel but it was clean and comfortable , location ok , pretty central with transfers available into the town

All good.

It’s fine if you’re just stopping through for a night but I wouldn’t recommend as a vacation spot. It’s pretty inconvenient from the town and not somewhere where you want to spend time at the hotel. No alcohol on the premises. We also had a ton of mosquitos in our room when we got there and got several bites while sleeping. One plus is they offer a cheap shuttle to the pier so it’s a convenient stop if you’re heading to phi phi. Also, the staff was really kind and helpful so these comments are more for the owners than the employees who work there.

The staff were polite and helpful. But it isn’t up what I would expect from a four star resort. The TV had multiple channels, but had Thai, Japanese, French, Italian and Arabic language channels- not one in English. And the breakfast, I’m sorry to say was almost inedible to a westerner, it was totally Halal, which is fine, but it was a limited selection, the only warm (nothing hot) food was toast you made yourself or salty baked beans, otherwise the food was partly cooked or just plain cold. Oh and the dead cockroaches in the bathroom in the restaurant didn’t cheer my wife up at all.

Breakfast in open area which was very hot. Although they gave air condition they didn’t operate them!! It is quite far from center so for any service like, change, food, market you need to take a taxi

A good place for an overnight stop before going to Phi Phi. The hotel is in a quiet area with not much around, although there is a nice restaurant opposite and a small village within walking distance. A shuttle bus can take you into town to visit the night market for a small fee. The breakfast was okay. We never used the pool but it looked okay too. The staff were friendly and helpful especially the girl on reception.

Peaceful and beautiful area

Good lobby area. Simple breakfast menu. Hotel shuttle is available.

The location was close to the river and shuttle busses offered into Krabi centre. Our room smelt a little damp and the service was fine but wasn’t above and beyond. Not a bad spot if your using as a stop over on the way to somewhere else

Good location on the sea front with friendly staff

Clean.....Not really sea view place. More like across the main road from the river.

Be aware, this is an alcohol free hotel as it seems to cater to the Muslim crowd. The description on Expedia is very misleading, indicating the hotel has a bar, pool bar, mini bar in room etc ("a poolside bar where guests can unwind with a drink"). We were not too impressed and only stayed 1 of our 2 nights here. The hotel itself is a bit out of the way from anything else, so don't expect to be able to walk across the street for a beer. The hotel was spotless and very beautiful. Check in was a bit disorganized as they couldn't find our reservation and we had to wait 45 minutes while they called Expedia.

The hotel in itself is beautiful and well done. Unfortunately everything on the bed was stained which was gross. Plus there was black hair all over in the bathroom and the tile slipped away from the shower so no mater what you do the water will get everywhere! Location was great for walking to the ferry station but was not near anything else. And as a heads up this is a no alcohol facility, we were ok with it but it could be a trip ruined for other people.

Very muslim friendly! Nice staffs and scenery around the resort.

Beautiful hotel. Lovely staff. Beds are quite hard. Taxi fares quite high from there....so if you can...it is good to take the free shuttle to town. They need a 2 pm pick up time....felt that was missing. Otherwise great place for a Thailand adventure.

There website is misleading in that they DO NOT have a shuttle from the airport. The website also mentions shuttle to town, but they charge extra after 4 PM. The hotel restaurant DID NOT honor the 10% discount that the front desk provided, and would not adjust the bill at check out; most unprofessional.

Nice enough hotel but totally lacking in atmosphere, felt completely empty when we were there, empty restaurant and lobby, just a few people at the pool. We wondered where everyone went - day trips perhaps but when we saw a couple of coaches return everyone disappeared! We went out to explore but hotel is remote and down the road was just a mini mart and local houses. One or two deserted restaurants in walking distance. Be aware that this area is Muslim and all about halal food. No alcohol in the hotel too and it felt like there was a dress code. I didn’t feel comfortable in a vest top for example as all the staff (and some guests) were completely covered up. Room was lovely, staff helpful, and can’t really fault facilities but no sea views here and we went to bed at 8pm as it was so quiet and remote. Pretty happy we were just there one night as can’t imaginr what we’d have done if we were there longer. We skipped breakfast as there was no milk and basically lots of halal meat on offer.

An excellent experience with rooms cleanliness and friendly staffs. Halal foods too
