“Nestled beside a national park, the location excels by balancing natural beauty with surprising convenience to Ao Nang; indeed, the private beachfront and various room types, including those with private pools, are definite highlights. However, some previous guests mention communication issues, so it's worth bearing in mind that English proficiency may vary among the otherwise wonderful staff. This remains an independent hotel that seeks to offer more personalized service.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Arawan Beach Resort Krabi from previous guests about their experience

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Arawan Beach Resort Krabi is generally appreciated for its spacious rooms, some offering sea views and direct access to a swimming pool right in front. Guests enjoy the tropical grounds, with a well-kept garden adding to the serene atmosphere, although some have noted the gym equipment could use updating. Its location, while quiet and a short drive to Ao Nang, might be a bit isolated for some, but the hotel provides taxi service to the main street.

limited breakfastunusable beach

I was a bit let down by a couple of things. the breakfast selection felt quite limited for a hotel of this supposed caliber. i mean, there wasn't much variety, and it really didn't live up to what i expected. also, the 'beach' area was more rocks than sand. It wasn't really usable for sunbathing or swimming. that was disappointing since i wanted a relaxing beach stay.
