Krabi
Sands Resort, Krabi, Klong Muang Beach
This is an ideal place if you like a small peaceful and friendly resort.
Rooms are clean and pleasant and had all we needed. The pool and setting
was the outstanding feature. The location is out of town but the staff
on receotion were so helpful in arranging trips (for which pick up
from the resort was included). The staff kindly allowed us a late
check out as we had a late departure - we were there in low season
and the room wasn t booked that day. |

Krabi Sands Resort, Krabi, Klong Muang Beach
Krabi Sands resort is a real nice place to stay. The rooms and the
pool are surrounded by a beautiful garden. If you are looking for
a quiet place to stay this is the place to be. In the restaurant they
serve very nice food. If you are looking for more action you have
to go to Ao Nang which is about a 15 minute drive from the resort
and it is costing you about 400 bath (one way). For us (a family with
2 children at the age of 6 and 8 years old) a stay of 2 night was
sufficient. |

Rooms and facilties were very nice & well looked after and staff were
very friendly. The restuarant had great food, the best we ate in our
2 week stay in Thailand. The only negative comment is that the beach
is a bit lousy and the taxi fares to & from are a bit exorbitant. |

Krabi Sands Resort, Krabi, Klong Muang Beach
ottimo albergo, molto tranquillo, per chi vuole tranquillita` e` l
ideale soprattutto con bambini piccoli. C e` Jos uno dei dipendenti
e` cordiale, disponibile, simpatico e molto gentile, vi potra` sicuramente
aiutare per qualsiasi problema. Un po` lontano da Krabi, per il mare
e` meglio andare ad Ao Nang e dintorni, altrimenti state in albergo
con piscina favolosa e la sera passeggiata ad Ao Nang anche per mangiare,
non mancano ristoranti italiani- |

Krabi Sands Resort, Krabi, Klong Muang Beach
This resort was great, clean, well presented and service with a smile.
They were always keen to please. The location is quite a way from
the more popular beaches which was initially a draw card however the
whole area is under construction with other places being built leaving
it feeling a little less secluded. The actual beach is not the nicest
in Krabi either with rocksand stones along the shore. It is close
to beautiful Hong Island though and the resort rented out scooters
so we were able to go explore other parts of krabi. If you want some
exciting night life this ain t the part of krabi for you. |

The Krabi Sands Resort, Krabi, Klong Muang Beach
We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and the well kept
greenery around the resort. It was a perfect place for a family with
small kids as there were lots of space for them to run about. The
resort is quiet and exclusive, away from the busy towns. Moreover,
the friendliness of the staff bought further pleasure to our stay.
Especially Mr Yong and the lady at the front desk. We have been so
delighted with our stay that Krabi Sands Resort will definately be
our choice for future visits to Krabi. |

I m horribly saddened by the news of the devastation that swept Thailand
s southern coasts and I really hope people will continue to support
the Thais in their hour of need, as they have been nothing short of
wonderful to us during our stay. This is my two-cents worth of the
Krabi Sands resort. Overall, it s wonderful in the idyllic sense.
It s well-maintained, close to the nature reserve and most units overlook
a beautiful freeform pool. It feels luxurious yet cosy, as the staff
really treated us with warm welcome and was ever ready to assist us
with our travel queries. Its beachfront restaurant has a great ambience
and serves yummy Thai food, though it was a little too expensive for
my taste. One thing though, it is FAR up north from Ao Nang. If u
re renting a jeep, ok, but taxi rides r expensive(450B one way). Either
plan ur day well to minimise transport costs or book e reasonable
tours n spa packages thru e resort, which includes free pickup to
& fro Ao Nang.(we did that) Overall, great place to wind down and
relax for friends and family, not for crowd-loving party-goers. Do
stay here for the exclusive hospitality. |

The Krabi Sands descriptions are accurate and the hotel offers exactly
the level of accomodation (new, small / personal, clean, relaxing)
it claims. Some mobility will be useful as the tidal beach is not
perfect for swimming. As such though, the small resort represents
excellent value for money. |

The Krabi Sands Resort, Krabi, Klong Muang Beach
We had a great 2 weeks here. We were with our 2 older children and
our 18 month old baby. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The
rooms were great and the pool fantastic. It was good staying in a
quiet village location away from the hustle and bustle of Ao Nang.
The locals were also very friendly and kind. The only negative was
the almost continuous noise of trucks heading to and from the Gypsum
ship loader down the road. |

The Krabi Sands Resort, Krabi, Klong Muang Beach
Accomodation: Decent chalets which were recently renovated. Lovely
manicured grounds with a small yet sufficent pool. The only real dissapointment
was that the TV chanels were all local Thai, no English news or movies.
So don t plan on stay in-doors or expect the kids to be entertained
with just the pool cos there is no TV for them to watch. A lot of
care was taken into the decoration of the resort and its surroundings.
Simple yet nice. Raid the mini-bar in the room cos the prices are
pretty reasonalble. Staff: The staff were all friendly and accomodating
kudos to their manager Jos who always went out of his way to make
all guest feel like the only guest. His assistant Jan also made us
feel right at home. The wait staff at the resort resteraunt made every
effort to please you and were too very pleasent. The only dissapointment
was the owner Mark an Englishman(which you get to see everyday) He
was distant and aloft, perhaps its just his personality or perhaps
it was because he only mixed with his kind . Even the gardeners and
cleaners were warm and friendly despite the language differences.
Food: Good attempts were made for both local Thai and European food,
the prices were very reasonable. Area: Now this is a real dissapointment.
The brochure and the ture reality are slightly misleading. The restraunt
was not located withing the main premisis and you had to cross a small
2 lane dusty road to get to it. The beach front was also located across
the road and was most definatly not swim-able. The sand was dirty
and the waters...well... let s just say that you d need to do the
island hopping in order to enjoy the sandy white beaches and clear
waters. This fault however is not unique to the resorts in Karabi,
most of the beaches featured in the brochures are not the resort s
beaches nor are they the beaches that are easily accessible. They
are the great beaches of the islands and islets surrounding the main
land... 20- 30 mins (or more)away. Beach: Most beaches off the main
land were nice. Different islands had differned types of sand, some
very shelly some just powder white. Remember this is a highly populate
Thai muslim community so do be respectable and aware of where you
do you nude sunbathing. There were a number of inconsiderate individual
(ladies) who bared their boobs infront of kids and consertive locals
with utter dis-respect. Resort Guest: Ranged from familys with infants
& young children to lovers (both straight & gay)or retirees. Mostly
of European guest. The surrounding population were a majority of Thai
muslims as opposed to Bangkok s high majoirty of Thai Budhist so there
is a slight difference in culture which makes this place truly unique.
Securtiy: The resort employes an armed guards after sunset. With additional
security just moments away (so they say). Tips: Bring a good book
(or two), a large brimmed hat & sunglasses, an umbrella, lots of sunblock
or tanning oil and most definatly insect repellent. If you want a
varity of food and some local & small brand type shopping, then do
expect to spend a lot of time at Ao Nang - the more commercialized
area. Other then that if you re easily pleased, the pool and a good
book & lots of bedroom activity will surfice :) |
