The ShellSea Krabi I Luxury Beach Front Resort & Pool Villa

In one of the reviews, someone said it was a 5-star hotel at 4-star rates and I want to echo that statement. It's a very nice property with very nice staff and well-maintained grounds and amenities. The rooms are spacious, the bathroom is nicely laid out across the length of the room. The mattress and bedding are comfortable and crisp, the water pressure is pleasant, and the AC works well and smells neutral. The adult pool is clean and cool, with a nice view of the "private beach".

The pool is the warmest pool I’ve ever been in. The hotel has a beach but you have to go quite far out to swim as it’s shallow. The hotel is a little out of the way, it’s maybe a 10 minute taxi ride to Ao Nang but it’s a very quiet area, so if you’re looking for seclusion this place is for you.

I was unfortunate to have a fall which resulted in broken ribs just before arriving at this hotel. The hotel staff and management were extremely helpful and did everything they could to make my stay as comfortable as possible (under the circumstances). This included bringing all our meals to our room and arranging hospital transportation, I could not fault them in any way

Best location and very private places.

We stayed here for four nights on our way from Bangkok to the islands. The accommodation is excellent with large rooms (we booked a garden room). At 45sq metres, this is more than adequate. The bathroom had side by side washbasins, a separate toilet and a spacious shower room with full size free standing bath. Housekeeping was excellent. Water was replaced daily and rooms made up each day. Shower gels etc replaced as required. The bed was huge (Queen) and offered us great sleep quality. We ate several meals at both the Azure and Fin Bars/Restaurants. The menu is the same at both. The quality of the dishes we selected was very good although we felt the range was small.
