Description: When we visited Krabi we stayed in this beautiful hotel that sits in an isolated part of Krabi. Unless you are willing to take a 15-minute hike through a small mountain pass, this hotel is only accessible by ferry boat, which has its goods and bads...
The hotel gives you this romantic feeling that you are on a remote island of your own. The beach line is right outside your hotel and the view is absolutely magnificent. For a couple's romantic getaway this is close to perfect.
The down side is that the hotel ferries only run every half to every hour, thus making your trips to the main island somewhat troublesome. The toughest part is timing your return trip to the hotel because you won't know how long you would like to stay exploring the main island (The mountain pass is closed at dusk). You also need to reserve a spot on the ferry with the front desk, and these spots fill up quickly for popular times, so do it as early as you can. If you can stomach some extra cost, you can charter your own taxi ferry for around 400 Baht each time.
The staff here was amazingly friendly and helpful. We had one luggage that didn't make it on our plane and would arrive later that night. We were worried about having to make the long trip back to the airport when one staff member arranged to have someone go pick it up for us for $20 USD. We were more than gratified for this remarkable favor which saved us many valuable hours to enjoy ourselves.
The room itself was simply marvelous. We had our own balcony with a private jacuzzi, a rain fall shower and normal shower as well as a separate bathtub in the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and the view overlooked the sea. Our stay included a free breakfast in the morning. However, internet was not standard in the rooms.
One thing to note is that although the hotel offers many activities for your enjoyment (we did elephant riding), the prices are marked considerably higher than normal Thailand prices. I guess that comes with staying in a 5 star hotel.
