Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort

I recently stayed at Sofitel Krabi and overall had a very pleasant experience. Although the resort doesn’t have a private beach, the public beach right across the road is surprisingly quiet and peaceful. It feels uncrowded and laid-back, making it a great spot for a relaxed walk or to catch the sunset without the usual tourist rush. The hotel facilities are solid and well maintained. The lagoon-style pool is spacious, and the overall property feels expansive. The rooms are generously sized, comfortable, and suitable for both short and longer stays. One highlight is that some garden-facing rooms offer direct access to the pool. Being able to step straight out from your terrace and into the water is incredibly convenient and adds a resort-style touch to the stay. Breakfast buffet was another strong point. There was a good variety of options, and the open, airy setting made the experience even more enjoyable. Starting the day with a relaxed breakfast and a wide, open view really set the tone for the rest of the day. Overall, it’s a great option in Krabi if you’re looking for space, comfort, and a calm atmosphere.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Sofitel Krabi Beach Resort. From the moment we arrived, the hotel was simply stunning — the entrance and overall atmosphere immediately set the tone for a relaxing and luxurious getaway. The pool is huge and beautiful, one of the best we’ve experienced! We especially loved the swim-up bar in the middle — such a great place to relax and enjoy the day. A very special thank you to the amazing Poda Team at the bar: Sky, Sem, Na, Palmy, Bok, Rak, Bao, and Kim. You all made our experience even more memorable with your excellent service, warm smiles, and great energy. The staff truly made the difference! We highly recommend this hotel and would gladly return again. Thank you for such a fantastic stay! 🌴✨

Beware - you will not want to leave this resort anymore :-) From the start to departure this hotel has exceeded our expectations. It was perfect for our family getaway, the resort is fully setup for families including kids club, kids pool and many daily activities to keep your little ones entertained. The team throughout the property was very attentive, friendly and always willing to assist. Kudos to the management team for putting together such a cheerful team. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable time. Credit to Chef Pedro for setting a fantastic culinary experience in all outlets - amenities exceeded all our expecations and probably the best I have seen at any hotel including storytelling. Heartists Sao, Lita, Som, Jib, Jah, May and Lucie were standouts!

Everyone is very nice and kind, the hotel is perfect also for families with very nice activities proposed everyday! Our room was a bit old, however the hotel is dated back to 2006, can be happen. All the services were amazing and the atmosphere is very relaxing, perfect to have some offline time. A bit far away from the centre but easy to reach thanks to the hotel shuttle (extra fee) or taxi. Very nice to walk on the seaside and reach some nice restaurants directly from the beach 🏖️

My stay at Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra was truly exceptional. The property is stunning, with beautiful architecture and lush tropical surroundings that create a peaceful and luxurious atmosphere. The rooms were spacious, elegant, and very comfortable. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully designed to ensure a relaxing stay. The pool area is impressive and perfect for enjoying the Krabi sunshine. Service was outstanding throughout — professional, warm, and always attentive to details. The location is ideal for a quiet escape while still being well connected to nearby attractions. A perfect choice for anyone looking for luxury, comfort, and a serene tropical experience. I would definitely return. ✨

Lovely hotel, beautiful reception area, nice large rooms, comfy beds. Breakfast was almost overwhelming! The variety of choice was unbelievable and all very tasty. Shout out to the lovely Luke. His parents should be so proud of him. What a polite, sweet chap. I wish him all the best in life. All in all, would recommend this hotel.

The guest had an exceptional and memorable stay at Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra, marked by outstanding service, attention to detail, and warm hospitality across all departments. The experience began even before arrival, with proactive and personalised communication from the reservation, Club Millésime, and front office teams, setting high expectations that were fully met. The newly renovated Signature Rooms stood out for their elegant design and refined colonial luxury. Airport transfers were seamless, comfortable, and thoughtfully handled, reflecting Sofitel’s high standards of service and care. The newly renovated Kids Club was a major highlight, impressing both children and parents with its engaging design and activities, despite the removal of nanny services for safety reasons. Facilities such as the gym, pool, and daily activities were excellent, with special mention of the foam party and aqua aerobics. Dining across all four restaurants was consistently impressive in terms of food quality, presentation, and service. SO SPA with L’Occitane provided a deeply relaxing and professional experience, with knowledgeable therapists and heartfelt service gestures that left a lasting impression. The Concierge team received exceptional praise for their personalised, sincere, and safety-focused service, especially in arranging tours and creating unforgettable family memories. Front Office, drivers, bellmen, and various team members were commended for their warmth, professionalism, and efficiency. Senior leadership and management were recognised for strong leadership, swift problem resolution, genuine care, and the ability to create meaningful, emotional experiences—particularly a surprise birthday celebration that deeply touched the family. Overall, the guest described the hospitality as surpassing even top-tier luxury brands, expressing strong appreciation for the hotel’s leadership, service culture, and commitment to excellence, and confirmed their intention to return.

There are many luxury touches that make for an enjoyable time at this hotel but twice our dining experience was disappointing. The first morning at breakfast was a shambles as we were taken to a table where other guests were just sitting down and were then quite rudely told the table was taken by a lady who appeared to be a supervisor. She made no apology, almost suggesting we were at fault and we were just left standing there until another member of staff took the initiative and tool us back to the front desk. We were again shown to a table that clearly wasn't free and finally to an empty table where we had to point out that 1of the napkins had been used. A second dining experience also started poorly when, having arranged a booking through reception for the Italian restaurant we arrived to be told no booking was in place and were again made to feel we were at fault. However, on this occasion a gentleman who appeared to be a supervisor arrived a immediately said to his staff "how can we make this right?" and with that a table was found. Whilst the initial experience was poor on both occasions the food was certainly wonderful and can't be faulted. The pool is huge and never felt busy. The staff at the bar were very pleasant although a few more comfortable seats to relax in may encourage more to.use the bar at sunset during happy hour. The excursion to Hong Island provided as a courtesy was also fantastic and the staff member who escorted it was very friendly and professional. Overall the room was very nice but could certainly do with an upgrade in the bathroom and felt a little dated for a 5 star hotel. Housekeeping staff like all others across the hotel were very friendly and certainly made yhe experience enjoyable.
