Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “As for the bathroom, other than the lack of a bathtub, it was pretty equipped and well stocked.” 13
- “My favorite feature of the bath room was definitely the luxurious walk-in rain shower that I enjoyed each day.” 17
- “The bath room had a modern look and was spacious as well.” 17
- “you'll get some premium bedding and thoughtful amenities such as plush bath robes to make your stay as comfortable as ever” On camera128:37
- “The bathroom is shared and can be open plan or enclosed. A lovely touch was the child-sized sink for small people.” 2
- “and here's the bathroom the shower unfortunately there's no rain shower but it's fine” On camera210:49
- “Adding to that, the hotel also chose to use plant based products for the shower gel and such, though they probably overlooked the fact that parsley is something that a significant proportion of the population hates.” 13
- “The beds were very comfortable - so much so that no jet-lag worth mentioning occurred!” 2
- “The water at Railay is stunningly clear-easily 50 times better than Ao Nang-and well worth the short trip.” 11
- “And they had high prices of even water bottles.” 3
- “The islands, snorkeling, and scenery are classic Thailand and absolutely worth it.” 20
- “Now for a tour of the Krabi Resort hotel rooms, we booked these on Agoda directly and was very good value.” On camera96:44
- “hotels like banan kabi Resort offer you a delightful stay at a friendly price” On camera126:50
- “Great prices for the tours also. No complaints there.” 20
- “Since the reception itself was also on a slope, there was still some walking before one reaches the main road. For those with walking difficulties and young children, the tower block is definitely not the one to choose, else you'd be constantly spending time waiting for the buggy.” 13
- “One thing to note was that the housekeeping wasn't top notch. The wooden floor felt oily from the excessive sunscreen left behind by past travellers. The bedsheets weren't changed daily too.” 13
- “The food overall is pretty garbage. The burger places are trash.” 20
- “Building 6 not disabled friendly” 13
- “The helpful staff will always have a smile on their face and will make sure that you enjoy your stay to the fullest.” 17
- “In fact, as I've done before, I throw in a recommendation: Fill Feel Reort on Long Beach. A simple place with just a handful of bungalows, and the nicest most helpful owners you could hope for.” 6
- “They also offer 24-hour check-in to accommodate late arrivals after long flights. It serves as a perfect base for island adventures. Riley Beach is only 3.6 km away, and popular spots like Pota Island and Tup Island are easily accessible for boat trips.” 4

- “the rooms in this hotel are very spacious and impeccably clean thanks to the dedicated staff” On camera123:41
- “When we asked for hot water at the restaurant, the staff's reaction was shockingly unprofessional. They made unpleasant faces as if we had made an unreasonable request, and no one was willing to assist us.” 3
- “The staff were friendly and engaged. They also provided fruit and water on request too.” 2
- “The restaurant staff were rude and lacked basic etiquette and manners, making the dining experience uncomfortable and unpleasant.” 3
- “When we brought these issues to the reception, they deflected responsibility, claiming that the restaurant was not part of the hotel and suggesting we raise our concerns directly with the restaurant. This lack of accountability was unacceptable.” 3
- “The check in was smooth and I was offered a juice and a beautiful flower bracelet while my paperwork was organized. Nice touch!” 17
- “it may not be the fanciest of hotels around but the staff ensures that you have everything you need for a relaxing stay” On camera127:08

- “The room was clean. No smells. But not beautiful as in the online pictures.” 3
- “The Kids' Room also has a large balcony, overlooking one of the pools. We didn't find it noisy in the slightest and liked the fact that family and kids rooms are all in a family block.” 2
- “Speaking about views, the "Sea View" from my tower room in the tower block was impeccable. The iconic rock formation was right before my eyes as I stepped onto the balcony. The expansive sea view stretched out to the right.” 13
- “After settling into our spotlessly clean room, our five-year-old was feeling hungry.” 2
- “I loved the balcony that overlooked the beautiful scenery of the resort.” 17
- “Room cleanliness was fair;” 13
- “Lots of adaptors were available and the use of wooden floor and decore made the whole room feel spacious and chic.” 2

- “The aircon was strong for one to hide from the scorching tropical heat.” 13
