"An absolutely beautiful property, very chilled and peaceful. Staff are wonderful and accommodating. The food is wonderful. Lots of options to choose from at the breakfast buffet. Dinner and lunch options are also great. The local village is less than 5 minutes walk from the resort and well worth checking out for dinner, drinks, souvenirs or general supplies."

"The staff is super-attentive and appeared genuinely pleased to serve. I highly recommend booking their transportation from the Krabi airport to the hotel - full service from door-to-door."

"Super convenient location, on the main Krabi high street to go shopping and access to your own portion of the beach - however it is not a private access. The beach is still available to the public to walk along, the beach deck chairs and tables are raised on an elevated position that is for hotel guests only. Rooms were beautiful, had a lovely tropical feel to them, although a few wear and tear. Breakfast food was lovely too."

"What I love about this property is being by the water and still the rooms were at a very reasonable price. The food is good. Our room is by one of the swimming pool and those tropical vegetation around you. I recommend it to anyone"

"We came back to this hotel after 23 years and the location is still just as perfect. It’s on a great beach, with a couple of little shops and a good variety of restaurants. We liked an independent restaurant called Jasmine on the beach not attached to a hotel, food was good and well priced. We did feel the rooms are slightly tired, but didn’t affect the holiday."

Amazing stay here at this beautiful and luxurious 5 star resort. Pancake at the spa took great care of me and I felt so relaxed after the treatment. Crystal clear water and white sand await you here. The pools were great as well especially the fun pool. The staff were all very friendly and very attentive. The breakfast was amazing each morning with so many great options to choose from. Our villa was literally brand new and so clean and modern. AC worked great which is a must during the heat...

The experience at this hotel was unbelievable. The facilities are beautiful and well maintained. We had a beach pool villa and I can't even express how beautiful it was. When we arrived the tub in the restroom was prepared with flower petals floating in the water. The views from this hotel were gorgeous! and it was so nice to have the beach just for the hotels is the area. Not crowded at all. We took a couple of trips to see other islands nearby and it was great!

The Ban Sainai was like staying on a tropical island. It is very spread out, but the staff were always ready to drive you from your room to the pool or reception area. The breakfasts were very good as were the meals at the pool. The pool was absolutely gorgeous and we spent plenty of time there. The resort has a regular shuttle schedule to take you to the beach. This was an awesome experience to stay at the Ban Sainai.

My wife and me stayed there for 4 nights and we didn't want to leave. The hotel is beautiful, located in a quiet place and our biggest problem was deciding whether to go to the beach or to one of the 2 swimming pools.

Even though I travelled a lot around the world, but this is the first time I am taking some time to write a review about this hotel.
I visited krabi June this year, at that time some how its less crowded at the hotel. Its a huge place with nice big rooms, very clean. You may not get beach/ocean view in any of the hotel rooms, but it is easily accessible. Pool is very nice. Beach is very clean with white sands. There are no hotels around this one, so you don't find this beach crowded at all....

Hotel is on East Railay, but it is only a short walk to West Railay and Phanang Beach. It is waterfront on East Railay. The facilities are wonderful--infinity pool, dining, rooms. The rooms are divided into the economy rooms (a short walk) and the more superior rooms (very close to dining and pool). We were upgraded without hesitation when we had an issue with our room (staff immediately addressed the issue and upgraded us without having to be asked). There is a difference between the...

This hotel was absolutely stunning. Frankly, I am not used to the level of care we received. It is clear to me now why Layana is ranked the #1 hotel on the island. Absolutely gorgeous grounds, insanely good food, and top-notch attention to detail. Perfection!!

I was concerned about booking a hotel on Ko Phi Phi due to the low ratings on most of the hotels. We decided to stay at the Holiday Inn due to having the highest rating on Expedia. The hotel is great it's very quiet, located on the backside of the island away from the main pier. The only downside is if you do want to do a lot of exploring (Bars/Night life) or tours from the main pier it's a $20 water taxi ride one way. If you come back late due to being out at dinner or the bars the water taxi...

The property is beautiful and the rooms are comfortable and well maintained. The beachfront property sometimes sits right on the water as twice a day (10am-3pm) and evening/night high tide brings water to the steps of the hotel which is a stunning sight, allowing for even closer swimming and kayaking around island that forms in front. Most impressive is how attentive the staff are, keeping tabs on when we leave, what trips we did (we booked our own but they can help), when we leave. If arriving...

We had such an incredible experience staying at Zeavola! The facilities are very well kept, and the grounds are stunning. The staff was so accommodating and always had a smile on their faces. Truthfully, it was very difficult for us to come up with any suggestions for improvement. The only two things we could come up with were 1) there is no ATM in the area where Zeavola is located (so come with cash!) and 2) the website does not do a great job describing logistics on getting to the resort...

We had a wonderful 5-night stay here in late May. Our room was upgraded immediately upon arrival for free, so they basically had us won over from the get-go! The resort amenities are fantastic. They have a really cool pool with an in-pool bar, delicious breakfast right on the beach, different activities going on at the resort all day (although we weren't able to attend any), and much more. The room was clean and very large, and the bed was SUPER comfortable, which can be harder to find in...
