Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf and Spa Resort

Lovely stay at the Sofitel Krabi. Many of the staff are amazing, Notably Luke the new Intern from Newcastle doing a great jol for a newbie. Pee another trainee giving great service at Breakfast and the pool diner. Sky for his amazing cocktails and always has the team laughing. Sem for being a great host at the pool bar and Bright who welcomed us on arrival after a long flight. Our favourite waitress Palmy was amazing at both breakfast and at the pool diner, always smiling and happy to help. She is a credit to your organisation. Finally to Focus helped us so much on the first night with ideas and suggestions for the week ahead. Some good choices in the resort with the lunchtime diner offering the best options. Was hoping for a little more local dishes in the Thai but the Italian did a mean pizza and Porchetta. Rooms were spacious very clean and great service from our brilliant housekeeper Lim who left us a lovely note and flowers each night. I would recommend getting a room with Club Milesime usage as it's a great team in there and happy hour is a nice relief after a hot day round the pool! It's in a quiet spot with a few local residents in walking distance and I would certainly recommend the Grab app as the likes of Ao Nang is only 20 mins away if you fancy something a bit livelier with the night market and music bars like the Full Moon Bar The GM seemed to be everywhere keeping everyone happy and a credit to his organisation and has built was appears to be a happy, efficient and customer focussed team.

Fabulous hotel! The whole team were so nice and welcoming. The breakfast was amazing one of the best I’ve had anywhere. Rooms were large with bath and separate showers with everything you needed. Nice bar area with live music at night. White Lotus restaurant was stunning food and service. Only downside is the hotel is very quiet so if you’re looking for a lively hotel it’s probably not for you but if you’re looking to chill in a beautiful hotel then I would highly recommend the Sofitel Krabi

Had a very relaxing 2 night stay here. Our check in was very smooth. We had booked 2 rooms for 2 nights. Our check in was very smooth, Bella was there for us and made us feel comfortable in the Platinum Lounge, and introduced us to Pepsi & Deena. As my husband is a Platinum member with Accor, we got the Suite upgrade for one of the room. The Suite was really spacious, had a foyer, the bedroom area, living room and a separate balcony sit out area. It had big glass walls in the living room, so much natural light and greenery coming in. There was welcome hamper too. Loved the size of the room. Right after checking in we used the pool and enjoyed the cocktails. Sam, The bartender at the Pool Bar made some really interesting cocktails, and was very jolly despite being super busy and was very fluent in English. We had a great time by the pool, the pool size is huge and they have inflatable Parkour stuff in the middle of the pool, we all enjoyed like kids there. There’s a separate pool for adults, which was really quiet, the way it should be. After the pool we went to take steam in the Spa area. They’ve Massage rooms with Steam room in it. So they’ve multiple steam Rooms, The Spa Team - Zeta ARAYA, Ying Kajana, Bee Malairuk, they were all very nice. We enjoyed Steam on both the days. We enjoyed the Premium Lounge after that, Pepsi & Deena, they both are exceptionally sweet, had a smile always and were very pleasing, we had a great time in the lounge. The drinks were good, and food selection was limited but good. At night, we went to Beach, which is right across the road from the back side the hotel. The road isn’t very busy and one of the Hotel staff is always there to help cross the road. There are beach beds also. The Breakfast was really good, had a lot of cuisines, including Indian, as there was a big Indian Group staying on the same dates. On the second day, we went out on the Beach during day time, didn’t enter the water though, then we hired 2 Scooty’s and drove along the beach side, had a local meal at one of the shack. For Dinner, we had the meal at Venezia (in house Italian restaurant) Chef Andrea Bartoli recommended a pizza, we went for the same and it really was better than our usual choice. He personally stayed at the restaurant to put our pizza in the oven, it was really really nice, crunchy also, melting in the mouth also. Tar Tar at the concierge was very sweet and guided us very well. It was all a very nice, happy and warm vibe throughout our stay there. Big thanks to the Hotel Team.

The staff make Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf & Spa resort a 5 star experience. Special shout-outs to the following individuals/teams for making our time in Krabi an unforgettable one: Weena, the Yoga and Thai Lesson coach. She is a genuinely lovely person, who will adapt the Yoga sessions to meet the groups ability. Would highly recommend joining one of her sessions during your stay. Tas & Focus, from Explorer bar. Focus has unwavering warm energy and never fails to put a smile on your face. Tas is a master of his craft, creating bespoke cocktails upon request that never disappoint. Finally to Mee, our Thai Boxing instructor for putting us through our paces - was a great introductory session to Muay Thai! However, nothing is without fault and for a 5 star resort we did find the following to be lacking: Limited to no access to drinking water by the pool. Additionally, still water not being included with your meals even if you are half-board. Activities are not well advertised, with most people unaware of what is offered and when. Easy solution could be having the leaflet in each room upon arrival or a board similar to the trips offered. The fitness centre is currently under construction, which you are not informed of during booking. A replacement gym has been constructed but it is limited. Overall, we have had a great experience and would recommend a stay at this resort to others.

Very high standards of customer service, from the transfers on high quality cars to the welcome in the impeccable lobby. The room was spacious and well appointed. The swimming pool was an oasis of calm (the cleanest pool I've ever seen!) set in manicured gardens. The breakfast was a delight, very high standards, especially on the patisserie, but I also appreciated the savoury selection with a good balance of local flavours, very interesting. We had the opportunity to take a trip to Hong island offered by the hotel's activities team and it was delightful! We visited the Explorer bar on several occasions, we appreciated the live music and crafted drinks and we had a celebratory afternoon tea there that was truly remarkable! Above all I remember the smiles and kindness from every single member of the team, sometimes anticipating our every need, a real credit to the general manager of this fantastic establishment. Well done!
