Ban Ting Rai Vacations from ￥16,673

Beautiful tranquil place surrounded by luscious trees and water canals, spacious water villas with great comfortable beds and super clean sheets and towels. Very friendly staff especially at the reception: Forest, Yuyah, Guchi Tam, Dapa, Som-o, Mim, Davord we incredibly helpful and polite. We have prolonged our stay by one more day/ 5 nights and are grateful for all the hospitality and support we have received. Including a doctor’s. If you like a quite place and don’t want to be disturbed then this place is an ideal spot for you.

What a lovely resort, right on the beach and next door to "walking street" which has many options for bars, restaurants and shops (and ATM's). Although it is next door no issue with noise. Staff very helpful, a very relaxed stay. This resort is rather unique as the only way to it is by boat which made it very special for us. You can see monkeys, lizards and small toucans. Hired a canoe from the resort and visited adjoining beaches - very recommended. Resort arranged trips for us at very reasonable rates.

Varana Hotel Krabi has the potential to be a wonderful hotel. However, during my stay there it was evident that the hotel was simply not ready -- not that the hotel rooms are not fully built (they are and they are wonderful), more so the activity areas. Multiple fitness/health areas were still under construction, there were three different schedules for activities that never matched, some of the "fitness courses" were either closed or had not been built, and every activity had an additional fee if you wanted to partake. While I understand that this may be because I visited during the low season, the lack of a "complete" hotel should have been stated. The hotel is just not ready for visitors who want to take advantage of the different offerings that Varana advertises.

The private pool suite was great with wonderful view and pretty big. Can provide some more essential amenities like body lotion and shaving kit etc. Breakfast was minimal. Hike from entrance to the stay was a killer after a hectic day at beach😀

We booked an ocean view and paid for 2 nights but was provided a room that overlooked the rooftop. We were celebrating our 30 year wedding anniversary and ended up checking out 1 day early. Was disappointed especially when we checked in, we asked the receptionist to ensure that our room was ocean view.
