Тур в Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort 5*

Отель неплохой, но уже староват. Пляж расположен неудобно - через дорогу. Персонал плохо говорит по-английски. Очень большой бассейн. Сервис не соответствует 5 звёздам. Спа великолепное, мастера очень профессиональные.

We liked the hotel and especially the good breakfast and calm atmosphere. Yes there is a road between pool and beach but to us it was not as noticeable as others stated (long tail boats on the water are louder). We came with small kids and for others that might be bothered by their noise there is a 18+ area which I would appreciate if I was traveling without kids. The pool is so big that the adult area should not hear much of the kids at all. The staff is friendly and always willing to help. We are no easy guests with small kids so I am well aware of the patience it requires to host us. The pool is great, enough sun chairs are also available. Some of them are placed on the lawn without dedicated parasols. The towel service is the best I ever experienced. You grab them and leave them every day by the pool. No need to take them to your room or exchange them for a towel token. Easy and without bother. Rest rooms however are sparsely available around the pool. If you are not comfortable changing your clothes in public or are in need of a bathroom your own room becomes the only option. This is where my one major point of criticism comes into play: very long walks within the hotel. The locations we use in the hotel (room, pool, toilet, playground and breakfast room) are within 100 meters. However there are no shortcuts whatsoever. If you have a room on the upper floors at the end of the building you have to first walk 100 meters to the only entrance into the building then 100 meters in the wrong direction to the only elevator and then 200 meters to the room. That is very long for a room that is not even 50 meters point to point away. While my wife wanted me to ask for a ground floor room prior to arrival I have decided not to ask for preferential treatment and hoped that we (two small kids with a stroller) would be automatically placed in a more accessible part of the hotel. That was not the case. I saw other families like us on the ground floor (having a separate terrace entrance into the room). My recommendation to guests with limited mobility is to ask for ground floor rooms. My recommendation to the hotel: Charge extra for ground floor rooms or reserve them for guests that need them the most. Without having to drive a stroller around I wouldn’t mind the upper floors but with a stroller it has impacted my experience so I can only give 4/5 stars.

Absolutely great hotel. Although it was a while ago since I last stayed here (and we got food poisoning from the pool bar) everything else was great. Wish I could come back and just keep the pool bar out of my mind! See you soon
