Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf and Spa Resort

We spent a few days at the resort and, overall, had a wonderful experience. The food was undoubtedly the highlight of our stay. Our children especially enjoyed the pool, the wide range of activities, and we also loved the three-island tour. We greatly appreciated the outstanding service throughout our stay. A special thank you to the entire pool staff for their kindness and helpfulness, to Sao and her team for their professionalism and attention to detail, to the bartender for his excellent recommendations, and to the housekeeping team for maintaining our room to such a high standard. Our first impression, however, was a little disappointing. We may simply have arrived at an unfortunate time, but despite it being the low season, our arrival seemed to go unnoticed. The check-in process took quite a while, and it took about half an hour for our luggage to be delivered to our room. Although we called reception and someone answered, nothing happened, so we eventually had to go to the front desk ourselves before our luggage was finally brought to us. One small suggestion would be to offer freshly squeezed fruit juices. While frappés were available, it was not possible to order a fresh fruit juice without ice cream. With Thailand's amazing selection of tropical fruits, this would be a wonderful addition to the menu. Despite the less-than-ideal arrival experience, we left with many wonderful memories and would happily recommend the resort.

We had a very pleasant one-week stay at Sofitel Krabi and overall were extremely satisfied with our experience. The pool is absolutely fantastic and was one of the highlights of our stay. While the rooms are starting to show their age, this was only a minor issue as the hotel is currently undergoing renovations, which is great to see. We especially appreciated the variety of complimentary activities organized by the hotel. They were enjoyable, well run, and added real value to our stay. Our only suggestion would be to promote these activities more prominently, as many guests might otherwise miss out on them. A special mention goes to the hotel bar team, who consistently provided excellent service in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The Indian food in the restaurant is great. It’s easy to find a grab to go to town. We would also like to thank Tom at the reception. He handled our requests and solved the issues we encountered with remarkable efficiency and professionalism, making a real difference to our experience. Thank you to the entire team for a wonderful stay. We would be happy to return and recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Krabi.

Just left after four days, three nights and very impressed. As you would expect in Thailand the staff are absolutely amazing and all go out of their way to help and provide outstanding service. Special mention to the staff in the Maya restaurant at breakfast time, excellent 👏 Gym is well equipped. WiFi no issues (doesn’t like VPN’s though). Pool area, clean and spacious. Rooms are large, clean and serviced well. A coffee machine would make things even better. Highly recommended, would 100% return.

We recently stayed at the Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort and had a wonderful experience overall. The rooms were absolutely 5-star – spacious, beautifully maintained, exceptionally clean, and very comfortable. The resort itself is stunning, with excellent facilities and a relaxing atmosphere throughout. The service deserves a full 5 stars. Every member of staff we encountered was friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. Nothing was too much trouble, and the level of hospitality really made our stay special. The only reason I marked the location slightly lower is that the resort is some distance from the lively centre of Ao Nang. For shopping, restaurants, nightlife, and entertainment, we found ourselves regularly using Grab taxis, which was a little inconvenient. That said, the quieter location will be a major advantage for guests seeking a peaceful and relaxing escape. Overall, this is a beautiful luxury resort with exceptional rooms and outstanding service. If you’re looking for a tranquil retreat in Krabi, I would highly recommend the Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort.

We had a really lovely stay at Sofitel Krabi and what stood out most was the incredible number of people across the resort who made our time there so enjoyable. A big shoutout to Tom and Kim at the front desk, and to Troy, Deena, Katy and Pepsi from Guest Relations, thank you for always being so welcoming, helpful and friendly. The Explorer Bar team, especially Focus & bartenders also deserve a special mention for making our evenings such a pleasure. We also really enjoyed our time with the Koh Poda team, including Sky, Sem, Palmy and Min, as well as Jubjib, Chompu, Pim and so many others whose names I’m sure I’ve missed. There are genuinely so many wonderful people working throughout the resort, and they all contributed to making the stay memorable. The pool was another highlight — clean, very well maintained and, despite the size of the resort, never felt too busy when we were there. It was an especially nice place to relax. The resort itself is beautifully maintained. The gardening team does an excellent job, with gorgeous trees, plants and flowers throughout the property. You can really see the care and effort that goes into keeping everything looking so lush and inviting. The beach is easily accessible across the road, and the security guards were always helpful when crossing. Just something to be aware of is that there aren’t hotel sunbeds directly on the beach, so you need to walk further along to a beach club if you want a lounger. A special mention also goes to Paul, who is an excellent golf teacher. He was fantastic and made the lessons both enjoyable and worthwhile. And finally, thank you to the housekeeping team, who did a great job keeping our rooms clean and comfortable every day. 🙏 Overall, what makes Sofitel Krabi special is not just the beautiful setting, but the people behind it. There are so many team members who genuinely go out of their way to make guests feel welcome, and we really appreciated it. Thank you to everyone who made our stay such a good one!
