Red Ginger Chic Resort, Krabi

Beautiful hotel— the two-story room was perfect for our four-person family. AC worked like a charm in the heat. Excellent breakfast. Great pool, especially if you have a room that faces it (request one!). Very good service, although the staff was not schooled in helping with off-the-beaten-path requests. Welcome drinks and a swim-up bar made the place fee much more exclusive than the price let on. Local area just ok. Lots of access to your booking agencies and food vendors/restaurants. Nice local night market very close by. But don’t come here for the beach. Two beaches within walking distance, but don’t plan on swimming. Very dirty water, garbage strewn on sand, smelly water from local ravines empties directly into the sea. Ok for beach-walking, but really nothing else. Stay at red Ginger. But use it as a hub to go to the islands, kayak through the caves and mangroves, hiking, or going to the rain forest. Do not plan to use the beach; you will not be amused.

Just two things to bring to your attention: 1. This is this is a concrete building with hard surface floors so a single "pin drop" two floors above can wake you up at night. 2. Internet in our room was non existent (impossible to connect).The only way to connect was on the lobby or pool area. They have happy hour when 2 for 1 beer is actually cheaper than in store.

Did not manage to get the pool access so stayed in the duplex storey. Everything was good but just that the washroom was at the ground level. Not advisable if you need to go toilet during midnight

Lovley hotel in a great location. 5 minutes walk to the beach, lots of places to eat around the hotel , including 2 night markets. The pool was amazing perfect for cooling off.

Great hotel. Central and great staff
