The Tubkaak Krabi Boutique Resort

We booked room 145, which was quite spacious and had a balcony on the second floor of a two-story building. It was super convenient with the pool and spa right downstairs. The beach was also just a few minutes' walk away. The service was excellent; every staff member greeted us with 'Sawadee ka' and a constant smile. Our room was tidied up twice a day, and towels and toiletries were replaced. Other than being a bit pricey, no complaints, haha! The hotel also offers complimentary services like yoga, hiking (park entrance fees extra), paddleboarding, Muay Thai, and Pilates. If you're staying for several days, you can try them all.

This was the best travel experience of my trip! Everything was seamless, from emailing to book restaurants and arrange airport pick-up, to the check-in process itself. The ladies at the front desk were incredibly warm and provided excellent service. They even offered a complimentary car ride to the hotel next door the following day, which was such a thoughtful touch. The room was absolutely impeccable, with a beautiful wooden aesthetic. Given the natural environment, there tend to be more mosquitoes, but they thoughtfully provided mosquito repellent on the first day. As for the restaurants, I dined at The Arundina Restaurant for both meals. The staff there were so enthusiastic and even offered to take photos for me. One young lady with big eyes particularly stood out; I regret not getting her name. Dining while watching the sunset was simply divine! The hotel also offers many activities, most of which are free to join, including island-hopping tours. All in all, this was a perfect trip, and I'll definitely be back in Krabi next time. -Sonia
