Hotel's Favourite
5.0 of 5 bubbles
My best friend and I booked a 4 night stay here in August and I am actually writing this as we are still here waiting at the resting room the front desk provided for us whilst waiting for our private transfer to airport. Hotel is fully booked so they could not give us a late checkout.

This hotel has fantastic service from front desk, housekeeping, the staff manning the buggies, F&B etc. They respond quickly to feedback and constantly follow up on whether they have resolved the issue to their guests satisfaction. All guests use whatsapp to communicate with the hotel front desk to ask for anything, reserve excursion or restaurants, buggies etc. Basically anything you want, you use whatsapp to comms with front desk.

Case in point:
I had booked an ocean view room with pool and it comes with a small jet pool. When I first tried it in at about 730am in the morning, I felt stinging eyes and an odd smell within a few mins. I got out and let the pumps run thinking that it's a one off.. I tried again a while later (10 to 15 mins later?) And within 2 to 3 mins of sitting down I had the same overwhelming smell of chlorine and stinging eyes that I got out.
The pool was fine so I soaked in there before going bfast.
When I was having bfast I WA the front desk giving them feedback of the jetpool and they responded immediately they they will inform the team responsible to look into it. Plus apologised for the inconvenience. Within 30 to 40 mins somebody from their team came by and found us at bfast, introduced himself and apologised again then told us what they had done to hopefully rectify the situation. They had tested ph and chlorine levels of both main and jet pool..both levels were within acceptable standards however in light of my experience; he had instructed his team to empty the jet pool and refill it with fresh water and put a lower level of chlorine. He kept on apologising and I told him that it's fine and I will try after we get back to the room. He even said that the hotel will send me to see a doctor or local hospital if I feel discomfort in my eyes or nose and they will pay for it. Wow. I told him it doesn't hurt anymore and it's not to that extent that I needed medical attention.

We tried in the later part of the afternoon and it was perfect.no more overwhelming smell.of chlorine and irritating eyes. We could soak in there for 30 mins no issues. So I wrote back to feedback that all is fine. The following day the front desk personnel TONE approached us at bfast to check on me again that I felt alright and I assured him that all is well and the pool is alright. The service is truely impeccable.

That night after dinner I was yet again surprised unexpectedly when I was presented with a little floral arrangement from the front desk (a lady came by to the room to pass the flowers) in lieu of my jet pool experience!!! I mean , this is a team who is proactive and gives guests such a positive experience/service recovery after a negative feedback which they attended to with speed. Banyan tree krabi, well done indeed.

Tone would come by the next 2 days bfast to talk to us and follow up. How fantastic is that??

In fact I will say that the entire front desk team is fantastic. Always a smile. Always a helping hand.

Now with regards to the food.
The restaurant staff at Saffron (which we went twice) and the bfast crew at Naga Kitchen recognised us and gave us the same table.
Bfast variety (vegetarian, hallal and international); there isn't allot allot but enough. The egg station has 5 to 6 varieties of ways they can cook the eggs with a daily special. There were freshly squeezed juices, ice cream, wafflez/pancake, free flow prosecco, fresh coconuts, coffees and a PASTRY / BREAD room. My friend and I don't eat allot so the bfast would usually fill us up enough to last till dinner.

Saffron thai food is awesome..their soups are chock full of ingredients and for us.. is a meal unto its own. Their tomyum soup has 5 to 7 prawns..the coconut milk chicken soup had quite a few chunks of chicken in it. The Appetiser platter was yummyyyyy. Pad thai, beef curry was awesome..the only nitpicking I will say is that the egg crab omelette was a touch too oily but it's deep fried so it was expected. Overall we love Saffron which is why we went back twice.

We tried the beach bar and Naga Kitchen once each for dinner. Both were satisfactory and yummy. Naga had allot of variety and a shout out to the staff of both Naga and Saffron for making ginger tea for us when it's not on the menu. We wanted some pure ginger tea and we asked for boiling hot water with as much ginger as they can crush and throw in and they delivered with flying colors. Thank you for this.it was not those packet powder ginger but it was pure ginger slices which we saw in the pot and that's what we want so kudos to the kitchen staff of Naga and Saffron for doing this for us.

The room. Housekeeping kept the room spotless and always refilled the 6 bottles in the room..minibar is not included in room rate so take note. It's the usual pricing for resorts so my suggestion to visitors is to request your driver to stop by any 7 11 on the way in to get some beers if you want. Hotel minibar has the smaller cans of beer.
The banyan tree amenetities has the lovely jasmine fragrance which is lovely. The beds are firm and very comfortable. The air-conditioning is seperate from the bathroom and bedroom which is great. There is also a fan but it's only 1 speed which is good enough.
The pool is not big nor small but there is this jutting out platform which eats into the swimming area so you can't really swim 2 to 3 strokes at most before u hit it. The jetpool fits only 2 pax sitting in it. The jets were strong.

Front desk also helped me arrange a Hong island private charter local longtail boat..it's thb3200 for 4 hours ..Hong national park entry fee is a seperate 300thb/adult which u pay direct to the "rangers" when you get to the island. Best part is that the boat comes up to the private beach in front of banyan tree for pickup and drop-off. So one doesn't waste time travelling to another pier or harbor. The time saved is thumbs up.

My friend used the spa and the service was also impeccable. The facial massage was so relaxing she fell asleep and the therapist who did her mani and padi got along with her like a house on fire.

There is also a free hotel shuttle to the town but we didn't utilise it. We just stayed and relaxed at the resort the entire 4 nights 5 days.
We buggied everywhere from the room.or back to room. Just call the front desk and ask for a buggy to wherever in the resort and they will turn up within 5 minutes. Some guests walk but if you have mobility issues rhe buggies are awesome. There was never a time where they never turned up or took forever. Always within 5 to 10 mins AT MOST.
Overall we love this place and hope to come back again in the future. Thank you to tone and all the crew at banyan tree krabi for giving my best friend and I such an amazing relaxing vacation.

Responded 3 Sept 2024
Dear desi2832, Greetings from Banyan Tree Krabi! Thank you for your generous review about your recent stay in our resort. We are absolutely delighted to hear that your stay at our resort was first-class and that you found it to be a beautiful place to relax and unwind. Our dedicated team takes pride in looking after our guests, and we are pleased that you felt very well taken care of. It is reassuring to know that you found our communications via WhatsApp to be efficient and that this enhanced the comfort of your stay. I have already shared your feedback with your Banyan Tree Host, Tone, as well as our entire team as motivation to continue delivering high standards of service, which is one of the trademarks of our brand. I am thrilled to read of the pro-active and attentive care provided by our team to address the strong level of chlorine in the jet pool of your suite while you were at breakfast and to ensure this met your preferences and did not cause any further discomfort to you. I am delighted that you appreciated the small gesture with the floral arrangement and note as a gesture of goodwill to show our genuine concern for you, our guest. Our culinary team strives to deliver exceptional dining experiences and it is wonderful that you were impressed with the culinary options provided at our restaurants. It is great that you found the options on offer at our daily breakfast buffet at The Naga Kitchen to be suitable to your preferences. Moreover, it is fantastic that you were thrilled to dine in the treetops at our signature Thai restaurant, Saffron, and that you enjoyed the authentic Thai cuisine on offer. Additionally, it is great that you visit in the evenings to Kredkaew Bar and The Naga Kitchen met your expectations. I appreciate your patronage to all of our outlets and for detailing your experiences. We strive to accommodate the personal preferences of each and every one of our guests and it is fantastic that our team delivered the freshly-prepared and piping-hot ginger tea that you were seeking, and that it matched exactly with what you had hoped to receive. It is wonderful that you found your pool suite to be comfortable and well-appointed, and that the cleanliness was perfect. Our Housekeeping team takes great pride in maintaining the highest standards and it is great that this left an impression on you. It's great that you had an opportunity to enjoy a marine excursion during your stay. Krabi is truly a paradise for island-hopping enthusiasts, and we are delighted that you had the chance to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Andaman Sea. Banyan Tree Spa Krabi continually receives praise from our guests for their blissful treatments and facials, and it is fantastic that the tender touch of your Spa Therapist left your friend feeling entirely relaxed and rejuvenated. As you have noted, we offer a complimentary shuttle bus to multiple stops in Ao Nang that operates twice daily as an added convenience for our guests to explore the local area. This provides a cost-effective option for guests who do not wish to use the private taxi service that is readily available upon request. Having said that, I am glad that you were delighted to simply stay put within our resort and to soak in the serenity as our team of Bellmen provided prompt and efficient buggy service to whisk you around the resort. Desi2832, thank you for your stay with us at Banyan Tree Krabi, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future to our Sanctuary for the Senses. Should you have any further feedback or need any assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us directly. We are here to ensure your utmost satisfaction and make your next visit even more memorable. With kind regards, Haruethai Maneerat (Pop) General Manager

We travelled with our 14 years old daughter and stayed in a front row private pool villa overlooking the stream and the beach beyond.
The accommodation was very spacious for the three of us. The property is being kept in an immaculate state of cleanliness despite the fact the villa’s interior materials, colours and finishes are not very practical for the hospitality environment. I loved the resort’s master plan. It offered a lot of privacy to all residents. The gym was great. The public pool is nice too. I loved the design of the kids’ club, next to the pool in a glass walled room. Parents can easily relax keeping an eye on the kids playing indoors. In our case we just chilled out in our own spacious pool area and patio overlooking the sea.

The mountain nature trail starts outside the hotel’s entrance. Hotel also offers complementary bikes and various water sports attractions.

The resort ticked all the boxes: privacy, sense of exclusivity, nature, beautiful rooms… Not many local resorts can offer the same standards of excellence in design and service.

Banyan Tree is synonymous with luxurious, design driver accommodation. This hotel exceeds all expectations. The operator also takes a great effort in the breakfast buffet. Every Banyan we stayed in offered imaginative choices. Krabi is no exception. The breakfast was amazing…

Unfortunately we have never been truly impressed with Banyan’s F&B as far as lunch and diner are concerned. Banyan’s specialty restaurants tend to be rather pricey for what they really are. We’ve found lunch and dinner options lacking ’soul’. I have a feeling they try ’too hard’ to impress whilst the guests are looking for something simpler. Great quality Thai street food would be a fantastic idea for Banyan Krabi. Speaking with other guests I’ve found out everyone dines in third party venues on the beach.

I highly recommend this place to everyone who like us was searching for a luxury escape away from the crowds synonymous with other touristy areas.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10 out of 5 stars, if it were possible!)

Our stay at the Banyan Tree Krabi Hotel was absolutely perfect! The entire resort is a tranquil oasis, nestled in the heart of nature. The rooms are luxurious, featuring private pools, and every detail is thoughtfully taken care of. The whole property is impeccably maintained, and you can truly feel the attention to detail everywhere.

What makes this hotel stand out even more is the incredible team. Upon arrival, we realized we had left our credit card in the ATM at the airport. Fluk and Fah immediately took care of everything for us, contacting the airport and the bank. Within 48 hours, the hotel team brought us the great news that we could pick up our card at the bank in Krabi. But it didn’t stop there—they also arranged a driver to accompany us to the bank and thoughtfully asked if we had our passport before we left. Their care and service were simply exceptional!

The rooms are cleaned daily, and in the evenings, there's a turn-down service where the bed is prepared, the curtains drawn, and the room filled with a lovely scent. Every day, fresh water, coffee capsules, and delightful treats are provided.

The breakfast is outstanding! There’s truly everything you could imagine—even ice cream, hot dishes, and, to my delight, fresh coconut. All the staff members are so warm and friendly, it’s beyond words how welcome they make you feel.

A huge thank you to the entire team for making this a wonderful vacation—we will definitely be back!

We spent four nights at the Banyan Tree Krabi and really enjoyed the resort. The views from almost anywhere in the hotel are breathtaking (even in the rain!). From a welcome drink at check in to the wonderfully friendly and professional staff at the bar (Pong makes a terrific Cosmopolitan and serves it with an ever-present smile!!), the staff makes you feel special in all areas.

We stayed in a Premium Oceanview Pool villa and were glad we spent the extra money for the Premium location (at the top row of these rooms). As others have said, the actual bedroom itself is a bit small but the closet, bathroom and outdoor space are great. We enjoyed the thoughtful turndown treats and gifts and housekeeping worked in teams so your room is cleaned quickly each day. The architecture of the resort is beautiful and somehow each room’s outdoor space is completely private from other rooms. Though the resort was 80% full when we were there, we almost never bumped into or heard our neighbors. And the pool and beach area were never that crowded so there were always many choices for chaise lounges.

The fitness center is great—plenty of equipment, water, very clean and hardly used. Would have to agree with the earlier reviewer (whom we met while there) that breakfast was missing some items and coffee service could be improved.

We only wished the weather had been less rainy but that’s not Banyan Tree’s fault. It’s a lovely, romantic spot and I felt I had made the right choice of Tubkaek Beach resorts for us.

This is our first time at a Banyon Tree, and it won't be our last. As with most stays in a hotel of this caliber, we picked it for the location, design, and amenities, but we're raving about it because of the staff. From the initial (and stunning) entry to the property, the staff were simply amazing. Everyone greeted us with a smile, the breakfast team kept the coffee coming, and every staff member offered ideas of things to do.

Special mention goes to Freya, who was absolutely the nicest and the most helpful guest service person we've EVER encountered at any property we've visited. Ying and Saina were delights at the International restaurant.

The view of the islands across the water from our room and from the beach was unique and magical. Not your average gorgeous beach view.

The spa is highly recommended. Despite the availability of cheap massage all over Thailand, the Balinese massage at the resort is incredible. I had two. The Rainforest Experience was also a hit.

Things not to miss:
1. The bread room at breakfast. Yes, they have a bread room.
2. A long boat excursion. The islands were crowded, but the boat trip was worth it. Ask for Moose.
3. Walk 15 minutes down the beach to Mama Kitchen & Moon Bar for a sunset beer and cheap but scrumptious dinner on the beach
4. Ao Nang night market

Our only critique was the bed was too firm and not up to the standards of a typical five star property.

Banyon Tree Krabi, we'll be back!

We are just coming to the end of a fabulous two
week stay at the luxurious Banyan Tree Hotel,
Krabi, and can not recommend it enough. The
staff have really made our stay, going above
and beyond to ensure all our needs are met,
even those we didn't know we needed. They truly
are an asset to the hotel and good reflection on
their employer, all the staff seem very happy to be working there, are very friendly and cannot do enough for us.

The hotel is situated on the peaceful Tubkaek
beach at the foot of the Dragon's Crest (Ngon Nak
Nature Trail) ,which is a great hike for fit and agile
nature lovers !! The hotels beach is even more
secluded by virtue of a small river running into the
sea that is only low enough to cross at low tide.
We never had a problem finding a lounger on the
beach and electronic pagers/buzzers summon
staff for a wide selection of food and drinks. There are also a number of complimentary water activities available, including canoes, water boards, hobie yachts, etc

On arrival, if you have WhatsApp, you will be
connected directly to the front office staff who
deal with all queries, bookings, or any room issues
promptly and efficiently, the file section has all
the menus for food, drink, and activities at your
fingertips. There is also the usual phone and the
Smart TV in the room gives access to a whole
range of information.

We are in a Partial Seaview King, Pool Suite, which
is just fabulous and affords glorious views of Hong
Islands, which are lovely at sunset whilst cooling
off in the pool. The room has everything you need
with plenty of power sockets, mainly Thai but
there is a universal socket that takes a UK plug.
The room is thoroughly serviced daily with fresh fruit and little gifts left on the turn down, and different essential oils always leave the room feeling fresh to return to.

There are three very good restaurants, Naga
Kitchen, which serves a very comprehensive
breakfast buffet as well as lunch and dinner. Saffron is their premier Thai food restaurant, and the Birds Nest is a unique concept of nest like dining pods set elevated amongst the trees serving a la cartè set meals.

We didn't use the spa but could see it was an excellent facility with a wide range of treatments on offer.

A shuttle bus service is provided daily into Aonang .

Tonight, we returned to our room serviced to the usual high standards, but with the added surprise of foam bath run and decorated with petals.

We have been made to feel very special and can not wait to return in the not too distant future.

This resort is truly 5 star, the service is impeccable, housekeeping a dream, the different scents they leave you in your room will make you buy them all! All the rooms have a view of the islands and your own private pool which makes it difficult to leave your sanctuary but you must as it’s the staff on the resort that will make your visit extra special. We were looked after by the ever helpful Pim who went out of her way to advise and help. The bar and beach staff are fantastic with shout outs to Dao, Ice, Noom, Ton and Teoy. Dao hands down made the best mango daiquiris but they all looked after us with a smile and nothing was ever too much trouble. The Thai food in saffron was fantastic and well worth the experience, we ate out a few times at the Tuberuek Seafood restaurant which is a 10 min walk up the beach and that balanced out the hotel / local restaurants

My Husband and I stayed at the superb Banyan Tree Krabi and were stunned by the luxury, beauty and elegance including set out of the resort.

We stayed in H01 a Beachfront Villa, our early morning coffee with the view of the islands in the distance, the quiet serenity and peace of the resort was superb.

We enjoyed an In-Villa BBQ, which was hosted by a charming waiter khun Lee where we had every course delivered to us in 5 star style, the Banyan Tree staff, amazing chefs and Villa Host Khun Daria were all so attentive and willing to please, everything was quietly and seamlessly seen to from the setup to the end of the meal.

The Beachfront Villa was so impressive from cool white and blue tones to the space in all areas from the dressing room to the bathroom and beyond. The towels and linen were of the highest quality, the elegant lighting which can be set to ambience to the electronic curtains in all areas.

The restaurant Naga Kitchen led by an extremely talented Executive Chef and his team delivered mouthwatering meals every night, the food was exquisite, the flavours international and Thai, a menu which included many options for all tastes GF to vegan...

The sunset drinks is a must where bar staff Khun Kemp and his team will ensure your desired cocktail or beer is seen to immediately, supplying nibbles to enjoy with your beverage whist watching the most unforgettable sunset.

I would like to thank all the wonderful staff led by General Manager Khun Haruethai Maneerat (Pop) for making our short stay so memorable, the smiles attention to detail, service excellence, welcome and farewell one that my husband and I shall remember.

Banyan Tree Krabi is an impressive resort with beautiful views. The resort is about 30 minutes from the tourist area- Ao Nang Beach, so it is quiet, cleaned, and removed from the chaos.

We had a base level room which still had an ocean view and had a large, private outdoor pool. The room itself was large and functional and we especially liked the space of the walk in closet.

The pool and beach at the resort are very quiet and have amazing views of the offshore islands including Hong Island. There is a bar by the pool that had amazing service. Pong and Keti took amazing care of us and provided excellent service. Both were so friendly, helpful and poured delicious drinks.

We were recommended to take a local long tail boat to Hong Island which was arranged by the hotel concierge. The boat picked us up at the hotel beach and 20 minutes later we were exploring the islands. The price was very reasonable and we were able to customize the trip as we wanted.

The food at the hotel was very high level. Breakfast was included in our booking and had a wide variety of options including made to order options. We had two dinners at Saffron restaurant which was amazing. The manager of the restaurant went out of her way to ensure we had two great meals and a really personalized experience. While the food was good excellent, she really made the dinner experience special.

Stay here if you go to Krabi!

This is probably the best resort in Krabi. As part of our honeymoon, we stayed at the Banyan Tree Krabi for 1 week. As a former travel agent and sales manager in the hospitality industry, I have seen many luxury hotels in the world, but the Banyan Tree Krabi has exceeded all my expectations.

The level of service in this resort is very high and that starts already before you even take one step in the resort. A few days before arrival, your personal Banyan Tree Host, will contact you to prepare your arrival. You can indicate all your wishes. For example: do you need an airport transfer, which type of bed linen you want, which type of pillow, which aroma, just name it. By collaborating on this, the arrival is perfectly arranged and you are completely unburdened.

After an approximately 40 minute drive from Krabi Airport with the luxury Banyan Tree airport transfer, you will arrive at the resort. The check-in was perfectly prepared by the host and very special was that General Manager Nigel Fisher personally welcomed the arriving guests and even addressed them by name. It's a small gesture but definitely a 10+ moment because you don't expect it.

The location of the resort is like it has walked out of a beautiful painting. It is a quiet location at the end of Tubkaek Beach and offers stunning views of iconic limestone cliffs of Hong Island and Koh Pak Ka among others. To open the curtains in the morning, take a dip in the private pool or jacuzzi and wake up to this beautiful view is an experience of ultimate luxury and pleasure.

About the resort itself. It is a modern resort that opened its doors in October 2020. The rooms and facilities still look like new and even though the resort is only two years old, the garden is full of beautiful plants and trees. The rooms are spacious, the bathroom is equipped with a rain shower, bath and two sinks, there is a walk-in closet, smart TV with screen mirroring function, iPod with soothing music and aroma diffuser. The best bed is always at home I say, but the king-size bed at Banyan Tree Krabi was truly outstanding.

About the service. The staff generally speaks good English and are very helpful. Everything is done to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The housekeeping prepares the room twice a day, there are club cars to move the guests around the site, the personal host can easily be reached via WhatApp, there is breakfast service in the room, the restaurant serves quality food and the kitchen can also prepare dishes on request in addition to the menu.

Have we really had nothing to complain about? Where people work, sometimes minor things can go wrong, but that is not a problem as long as it is neatly resolved and people use the experience to do even better the next day. That is something they certainly do at Banyan Tree Krabi and why you can enjoy a carefree luxury holiday here.

Hi Jamie D We have only been at Banyan Tree Krabi and would highly recommend it. Not only were the rooms stunning, the facilities and the staff made are stay most memorable. If you’d choose Banyan Tree, I’m sure your wife will not be disappointed.

We stayed in the Banyan for 10 nights in Feb this year, it was wonderful, from what I can see it would be much better than Sofitel as it is on its own beach area, not across the road as the Sofitel, and you have your own swimming pool,
