The ShellSea Krabi

The resort is located in a peaceful area, about 15 minutes from the city center by shuttle bus. Staff were very friendly and always greeted us with a smile. Breakfast was varied with plenty of choices, and the restaurant was clean and beautifully set up. Our villa with a private pool was excellent. The resort offers free kayaking and has two great swimming pools. The beach could use some improvement, but it wasn’t a big issue. We had a minor problem with the main door, but staff responded quickly and were very helpful. Overall, a great stay — we’d love to come back!

Nice resort with a great team. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The property is well kept and very great views. In March you don’t see the sunset but it is still very lovely. The rooms are nice and feel modern. The beds are stiff for my taste. The restaurant is the same for all of the 3 restaurants. Quite fresh and authentic dishes on the menus with some international cuisines as well.

We stayed for a week. The staff was kind, friendly, and prompt to requests. Location is good with its own beach. The room is nice but it lacks the atmosphere that we were looking for. Breakfast was good but for a week, they almost don't change except for the noodles/pasta.

Overall, the stay was okay. The room was clean, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. However, when I got back to my room at night, there was a giant puddle of water all over the floor, and the ceiling was gushing out water. All of my things got soaking wet. I called the front desk, and they immediately sent someone to fix it. It was late at night, so I put my stuff out to dry and went to bed right after they fixed it. In the morning, I called the front desk and asked if there was any way I could have a late check-out time due to the inconvenience and to allow myself more time to dry my items, they said there was nothing they could do. They said I could put my stuff into storage, but that was it. I would have appreciated if they did more to help with the bad experience, but they did not seem to care at all. In addition, my friends were granted late check-out for their room until 1 PM, but then at 12:20 they were told they were never granted late check-out and they needed to get out of the room as soon as possible, causing them to scramble because we were out at lunch. I was very disappointed in this experience and I don’t think I would stay here again because of that.

Hotel feels exclusive because it wasn’t crowded. Definitely more luxurious compared to hotels near Ao Nang beach itself. Service was friendly. They try their best to please. Buffet breakfast was short of my expectation, being a luxury hotel. Spread was simple. Simple is ok, but I was hoping for better; could feel they were trying to keep their cost low. Very little protein. I was impressed with the honey dripping honey comb for their waffles & pancake. Other than that, there’s very little to comment positively about their breakfast buffet spread. Dinner at the hotel was decent; good food presentation. Mango Sticky Rice was interesting - they had different type of rice. However, taste was “spoilt” with chocolate syrup. Otherwise, it was a good dish. Pad Thai was also presented interestingly in a honey comb egg wrap. Taste was so-so. Overall, we had a much better dinner experience at River Restaurant River and Bar at half the price. Pool was nice. Staff there was helpful with the towels and canopy. It felt relaxing being there.
