Best Hotels near Monkey Bay, Krabi

My partner and myself spent a few nights on the island at one of the small cottages. Perfect for couples and those having a short stay on the island. They are located about a 10 minute walk from the main area of bars and restaurants, however, at night walking back, its always a peaceful, enjoyable trip from the views. The cottages provide the exact facilities required and were sweet and cosy. Central enough to all the action and has the most gorgeous views!

We booked our trip a while ago and the reviews seemed great. The closer our trip got the reviews seemed to worsen. But we were unable to change/cancel due to the rate we booked. On arrival we were welcomed by staff and given a cold bottle of water and cold flannel and handed a big list of do’s and don’ts whilst at the hotel. Including leaving your hotel key with reception when leaving the hotel meaning your AC didn’t work whilst out and about. Coming back to an extremely hot uncomfortable room. The hotel is right next to the mosque on the island and the tannoy goes of several times a day to announce prayer including around 5:30am. Very loud. But this can’t be helped, we should have thought about this whilst booking the hotel. Walls are paper thin. We were fortunate enough to between two friends so it was only our noise we could hear but I imagine if this was a stranger it would become annoying, to the point we could hear each others conversations through the walls. We paid for the swim up bungalow villas which apparently are the best rooms available at this hotel. They were filthy (see attached photos) and need of a deep clean and some serious TLC! Also whilst showering there is a terrible foist smell from the drains. And the water pressure is low, again could be down to location. The beds were like sleeping the floor they were that hard, but apparently these are how beds are in Thailand. But the beds have been excellent on the mainland at other stays. Unable to sleep. Little interaction with hotel staff other than check in but whilst writing this review a staff member walked past our room, and spat on the ground! The pool also is in need of some TLC and a full regrout. Be careful where you’re walking as some bits are sharp and appears to be full of grit/sand on the floor. The island itself is stunning but the hotel is lacking for the cost. This is a mid-range budget hotel for the island so would expect a much higher standard. Wouldn’t return to this hotel.

We had a wonderful stay at this well maintained hotel. The pool was amazing and close to the beach. Staff were very friendly and it had a standard hotel breakfast. Booking of activities were possible form the front desk. The location was great for watching the sunrise. One downside was the day tours that drop hundreds of people right next to this hotel’s beach. We just moved to the amazing infinity pool for peace and quiet. Something to consider if you are looking for a quiet beach all day.

We stayed here for 4 nights. The hotel staff were all amazing and very helpful. They collected us from the pier with our bags and carried them directly to the room, and the same leaving the island. The hotel is all individual tree top cabins. This can be a hike/long walk up a hill to the room depending on which one you stay in. The hotel is located on the beach with a private beach which is lovely. You can walk across the beach for 3 minutes to the main path around Phi Phi. 5 minute walk from the hotel to restaurants/shops. Taking 15 minutes to walk to the pier. Or you can get a tail boat taxi directly from the hotel beach to take you around the island or day trips. The hotel’s breakfast was 5/10. The average buffet style breakfast. The pool bar doesn’t exist when we were there and doesn’t look like it has been open in a long time. The rooms were cleaned everyday. I would not recommend the hotel for young children or people with reduced mobility.

It's a decent location for a couple or family that want to be out of the main hustle and bustle. The staff were helpful with booking boats and our luggage. The room itself faced on to a large dining hall which was noisy during the day and a bright light that couldn't seem to be turned off.

We were greeted warmly at the reception & got a beautiful pool facing Room with the backdrop of the Sea. The pier is barely 5mins walk and the Hotel had sent a cart with the man holding our placard. The Room was spacious for 3 Pax & was totally comfortable. The location of this Hotel is prime and the food joints & market streets are all walking distance. The breakfast spread is good enough to start your day with… Relax in the pool or just across the pier to take a private tour in the Long Tail Boats. This a must do if you are staying in this Island. You will be surprised to watch the fire shows, music & dance at the beach Parties. This Island has some lovely restaurants with delicious local cuisine and a wide spread platter for Sea Food lovers. Chill with the “Chang Beer” and interesting Cocktails. We stayed for 3 nights and had a memorable time….Our room commanded a picturesque view!! We will definitely be back here. Only improvement required to be done by the Hotel Management is to renovate the bathrooms & fittings as these are dated.

The hotel has many strengths, firstly the courtesy and availability of staff, always careful to ensure that they meet the needs of the clients. The location is also excellent: it is a quiet area where no noises of any kind are heard, a few meters from the sea, and the noise area, reachable by foot, does not compromise the tranquility. We have stayed in the newest rooms of the structure, which we strongly recommend (I recommend selected those at the time of booking, the others are a little old). The cleaning of the rooms and the rooms outside of the room has satisfied us very much, and the rich and varied breakfast served in the morning, which meets all kinds of requirements (pancake, fruit, eggs, etc.). This is a good quality/price ratio, considering the location of the structure is perfect (the largest points of the island - view points, long beach, tonsai, port, etc.) you can reach walking in a few minutes. The hotel also runs a agency, with which we booked a tour of the most beautiful places of the island.

All dark wood and very grounding traditional thai bungalows. The views to the beach from the front ones are bliss! The rest are all very close so don’t expect much privacy on your deck. Clever design. Simple. Affordable. Good wifi, water, aircon. No daily service. There’s rooms at the back that look cool and cheaper than the huts. I’d stay in them if not absolute front. The bed was crazy hard, but it may have just been mine. No top sheet, odd, just 2 Chelsea blankets. Please change that if the lender reads this. Neighbour told us on our last day that the owner has a menu that you can order from and have delivered!!! Wish we knew that earlier as the walk to main part is 20 mins. Besides all that. BLISS to walk onto the beach and swim or lay on their beach chairs.

Where to start! If I could give this place minus ratings I would. Damp rooms smelling like sewage, toilet was unable to flush, the room was filthy and clearly hadn’t been cleaned this millennium. Also heard a mouse in the air vents. We came from a 1 star hostel previously and that had better cleanliness than this place. Whilst the resort boasted a gorgeous sea view this was unable to make up for the horrendous facilities. You’d be better off sleeping on the beach. Breakfast was included… if you can call it breakfast. A few soggy pieces of Ham, some anaemic looking eggs and some questionable noodles made up the buffet. On top of all of this when we politely asked for a partial refund due to the state of the room, we were rudely told that because we had looked at the view and swam in the pool (both included in the hotel) that they were unable to compensate us. What’s worse is that we were spoken to like children and the man was incredibly rude despite us only asking for a partial refund with incredibly valid reasons. If you have any self worth please don’t waste your time with this joke of an establishment. Will not be returning.

Bad hotel. The location seems good as it is very close to the center where the shops and restaurants are, but the truth is it is a terrible location. When passing through a very beautiful and clean reception, they tell you that you must exit and go through an alley to enter the hotel. It is extremely poorly maintained with many flaws in finishing and cleaning. It looks more like a hostel than a hotel. In the bungalow that should be a more reserved accommodation, you hear the noise from all the other bungalows. And everywhere you look there is dust and something broken. There is an air conditioning inside the room, but it's as if it doesn't even have one because it doesn't work. We put it on 16⁰ C and it felt like it was just a fan. We stayed at the hotel for 2 hours and preferred to check out due to all these flaws. At the end, we asked to check out and request a refund for the remaining nights that we did not use. We didn't get a refund, because despite showing how different it was from what was advertised to reality, the receptionist informed us that they don't make any type of refund. This type of hotel is just to deceive tourists who don't know the region and pay a considerable amount for a hotel that isn't worth even 1% of its real value. We feel deceived and robbed.
