Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf And Spa Resort

Staff from the Sofitel made by experience better than expected. To be honest, since I was traveling solo and was my first time in Krabi, location was not the ideal. This was a last minute trip and I was a bit overwhelmed for the number of properties and different locations within Krabi so I decided to pick the hotel by brand (and I was avoiding Phuket). The staff helped to enjoy the most and accommodate all my requests. They did and above and beyond work and I am grateful for that. To me, the staff in any hotel can do your experience better or worse. The staff at this hotel excel in their work

Location. This factor depends on what’s the main reason for travel. I guess this hotel is very good for a destination wedding or any conference/meeting since premises and space is huge. To me, I was looking for something different and to be a bit far away impact a bit on how you can move around. There is always grab but that 20 minutes drive to main areas. Also, the fact that there is no private beach for a resort of this type got me wonder.

It’s an older property, but generally in good shape and the staff is very friendly. The food quality and variety is very good (though not cheap, but considered ok for a 5 Star hotel). The pool is fantastic!!!

High speed Internet only for extra money and the complimentary WiFi is super slow (totally not acceptable for an hotel in Asia). Cleanliness is so so, overall the facility is clean, but again 5 star so all those dusty corners in the rooms and facilities are below expectation. If you look for a nice beach you definitely shouldn’t come here, while I think the beach part doesn’t belong to the hotel it has its own access, but the beach is just dirty and disgusting.
