Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort

It is a nice hotel in a good location (outside of the main Krabi area, but still plenty of good options for F&B outside of the restaurant). The property was not up to the usual good Sofitel standard or service, but still overall a good stay. 2 nights was a enough time.

The pool was VERY dirty, and was half the reason we were looking forward to coming here. With swimming googles on you could see nothing but mould / algae when under the water, it did not seem hygienic or safe to swim in, and was probably one of the dirtiest pools I have seen. To be fair, given the size of the pool, they’d probably need to employ four times as many pool cleaners and cleaning equipment, else I assume it’s a near impossible challenge to maintain the pool. The pool also had chipped and falling off concrete. The bed was rock hard, so very difficult to sleep. It was at a reduced rate, but unfortunately I do not think we’ll be staying again. The bar had an excellent singer, and the Italian restaurant pizza, along with with the service was good

Interior spaces are beautiful, excellent breakfast buffet, nice lounge, nice room, nice bed, great live music with excellent performers in the evning, but disappointing beach that needs cleaning and maintenance (appears to have no litter patrol and is covered in plastic garbage and debris). The pool was green with algae which is a problem that needs to be resolved.

Lovely stay. Great with kids

Clean room

Breakfast buffet was good.

Horrible experience overall. The only positive thing was the architecture which was very nice. However, they only have one elevator near the lobby. If you have mobility issues, you will have to walk up two or three floors or walk a long way to the one elevator and back to your room. Worst hotel in our trip. Definately not 5 stars. The drink prices are ridiculous for Thailand and closer to NYC. Everyone leaves the resort for dinner and the place is totally dead. They would not even arrange transportation to the next resort or offer help. We had to do it all ourselves. Other resorts were much much more helpful. The beach is just horrible. It is rocky and it has a large commercial dock with cargo ships being loaded and off loaded. You also cross a busy and noisy street. Not nearly enough chairs at the pool and maybe 15 at the beach. No beach umbrellas. Just not a pleasant experience. If I could give it zero stars, I would.

Okey room. A bit old. The poolbar is a joke, supersmall portions and super expensive for Thailand. 250 bath for a 18 cl beer. This ruined our trip. We have visited over 50 5 star hotel and this is the worst lunch we’d ever had. Won’t going back after this. Otherwise good hotel.

Great pool for swimming and a children’s designated area

Had a lovely relaxing time, beach in the morning and pool in the afternoons.

Stor fin pool med gott om platser. Hotellet känns daterat och behöver underhållas mer. Det höga priset återspeglar inte kvaliteten.

Good except for one staff member that was extremely rude to me. She works at the bar. I was trying to sign for my bar check at the pool and she very loudly and aggressively said I was not registered in that room. I felt completely humiliated- as she did this loudly and in front of other guests. I asked her to check with the front desk to confirm this was in fact my room. Which it was. She could handled this with kindness and discretion, but she chose not to. If the hotel wishes- I can provide a picture of this woman.

Nice place eith the needed amenities. A but pricey, though.

Great hotel clean and friendly walking distance to restaurants and beach bars beautiful pool

Clean room and breakfast

The resort is beautiful. The best part is the massive pool. The food was lovely and the rooms were comfortable. I used the gym which was quite reasonable and had great cold towels, infused water and shower rooms. I have 2 downsides- 1. The showers are weirdly outdated in the whole property. 2. The staff seem to be a bit lacking. We had just arrived from holiday inn which is supposed to be not as good as Sofitel, however the staff were on their toes, attentive and knowledgeable.

The stay at Sofitel was so fabulous, from check-in to food to service etc.. everything was just awesome. The room was neat & tidy.. they have Indian rest., & that was serving unexpectedly good authentic Indian food.. Overall, I would recommend not to look around & go for it blindly.

Golf and really friendly staff

All was very good and staff super nice

There are a lot of bugs, the facilities are old, and the dry is terrible. The breakfast restaurant is poor to eat.
