Hotel Sofitel a Krabi

Stayed here in Apr 2025 for an anniversary getaway. Spa was fantastic and the ambience was worth the trip, even though it was a bit pricey. Pool area and hotel grounds were incredibly maintained and clean. Fairly quiet and relaxing in the adult section of the pool. Drinks were good and service was quick. Situated on a quiet stretch of highway, but ATM within a few minutes walk. Easy to rent a small motorbike along the beach road and get into Krabi town proper in about 20-25 minutes with minimal traffic. We needed to take a few trips in to the main ***** for dinners on the beach. There was a big 3-day wedding celebration underway while we were there, but the crowd wasn't disrespectful or obnoxious. Ate at the Italian restaurant, and it was decent but too expensive for what it was. Stick to the cocktails and skip the wine if you do eat there, though. Gym was fine. Nothing overly noteworthy there. Room amenities were good. Shower and bathing facilities in the room were also pretty good. Took a day trip island hopping out of the hotel concierge. Probably could have found the same trips for much cheaper in Krabi Town, but unless you're able to ride a bike to get there and find all the big tour companies, you're stuck paying the premium. Tour itself was really nice, however. Nice tour guide in a nice, fast boat who was really helpful taking photos of me and my wife. Apart from the price point, I don't have any real complaints overall. I'm not a golfer, so that might've changed my perspective. Lounge singers were fantastic. Would probably recommend it to a friend if they were looking for a peaceful experience in the same vein as Koh Lanta. Breakfast buffet was decent. We didn't try the a la carte restaurant.
