Dusit Thani Krabi Beach Resort

A wonderful stay in this idyllic beachside setting. I could not fault anything. Particular highlights were the amazing swimming pools, the aqua fit classes and En who gave a brilliant Muai Thai class. This hotel is worth the money and I would come again for sure.

This was our first visit to Dusit Thani, it is a lovely hotel, spacious rooms with super comfortable beds and a good bathroom with an excellent shower, we had a deluxe sea facing room. The gardens are delightful and give a nice tropical feel with lots of beautiful birds and wildlife to observe. Breakfast was good, it can get busy at times and we did occasionally have to wait for a table, it did feel like the dining area really should have more space considering the size of the hotel, it was the only area where it did feel a bit crowded, but everything on offer was of good quality and plenty of choice. We spent most of our time at the beach which was really lovely. There were always beds for everyone and the staff down at the beach are really good at helping you move beds around if you prefer shade etc. We didn’t use the pools as we always prefer the sea but they were both beautiful and not too crowded, there is also a huge grassy area between the pool and the beach with beds dotted all around, it was great to have so much space. Klung Muong is a small, very quiet place, there are some decent places to eat but not really bars as such. Our favourite place for lunch was The Sandbox, go down to the beach and turn left, go past the bigger thatched roof place (can’t remember what that was called but it wasn’t very good). The owner is a super friendly Portuguese guy and the food here is excellent, right on the beach front with gorgeous views, only open until about 6 in the evening tho. Another highly recommend local spot, just outside the Hotel, is the Coffee Club, go outside onto the road and turn left. It’s a humble little place but don’t be put off by it’s simple design, the food is really good, both the Thai and Indian offerings, the spring rolls were genuinely the best I have ever had and the chicken Tangeri Kebab super tasty, the staff here are very friendly and helpful. Thaan Bai Lay (may not have spelt that correctly) in the opposite direction, was slow good, a lovely setting right in the beach with lots of good seating options, we tended to get a taxi down there from the taxi rank outside the hotel which we used quite a bit, then we would walk back along the beach but you do need your torch on your phone for this.

We have had a fantastic holiday at the Dustin Thani hotel. Although the weather has been quite changeable, there have been plenty of classes in the D-fit centre to keep us busy. I can recommend the aqua board strength and flow classes in the pool with Nicha and abs and core in the centre, also with Nicha. She is a very good coach and encourages everyone with great enthusiasm! All of the fitness instructors are excellent! The hotel itself is set in beautiful gardens overlooking a lovely beach with a shallow entry in to the sea so safe for children. The sea view rooms are set back overlooking the gardens and the sea.
