The hotel said on the beach BUT it actually a false advertisement. The beach is a walking across the road to get into access. They told us that hotel access is free BUT you have to paid in order to use the facilities, buy a drink or food in order to used the facilities. I was not happy about this.
This place is amazing!
The Olympic sized pool is spectacular. Breakfast was perfect with a beautiful view
Highly recommend.
It has to be the best hotel in the area
We stayed at Varana Krabi during our honeymoon last month and truly enjoyed our stay. The service was excellent, and the hotel amenities were fantastic. We especially loved the pool and swim-up bar, as well as having access to the beach club—it was perfect for relaxing and taking in the sunset views.
Our room was lovely, with a clean, neutral, and calming ambiance. We also received a complimentary NAAM session, which we really enjoyed, and we added a massage—it was one of the better ones we had during our time in Thailand.
The area around the hotel is much quieter than Ao Nang, which was exactly what we were looking for. There are still a few restaurants and beach bars nearby, so it’s convenient without feeling crowded.
We had lunch at the hotel restaurant, which was tasty, and breakfast offered a great variety of fresh options each morning. On our last night, we dined at their Sala restaurant—the food was good, though we were expecting slightly more bold flavors.
Overall, Varana Krabi provided a relaxing and memorable stay, with beautiful sunsets, peaceful surroundings, and excellent amenities. We would happily recommend it for a peaceful getaway.
We loved our room and the view it had. Their bathrooms are the kind you wish you have in your dream home!
Their staff is extremely friendly and kind. The Olympic pool was fantastic, although we didn’t spent as much time there since we were exploring the famous beaches in the area.
The highlight from the breakfast is the fruit selection and that they make eggs to order in any style of your choosing.
It’s a car ride to Ao Nang and there aren’t many things to do around the hotel.
Note that hotel gives you beach access through a beach club across the street. They only provide bean bags and there are better beaches in the area but this beach was still good for a walk.
Overall we loved Varana and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. It was a great find and a highlight of our trip.
I really enjoyed my stays there.The staff was so nice that upgraded us to horizontal ocean room. It looked fabulous. Everything was outstanding from comfort to cleanliness. U should check out their cafe and restaurant called Nook which located in the resort. It was really delicious. Highly recommended if u ever come to Krabi. u wont be regretted !!!
Exemplary staff and customer service, very beautiful and comfortable environment.

All our stay was excellent, meals high class and breakfast was just delicious, staff very polite and so so helpful. Will recommend this hotel to my family and friends
We stayed here for a few nights as our base to explore phi phi island and hong island etc. Our room was very clean as was the entire property which is super beautiful. Food was average at best. The breakfast was a 2/5 and did not meet standards compared to every other 5 star resort we’ve stayed at in Thailand. Service was slow. A few things to make note of. It bothered us when we requested an extra couple pods for the coffee machine and we were told we would get charged 80 baht for them even though the pods were free. We stayed in the premium ocean view rooms and I would advise against unless you are Muslim. The call to prayer which we had no idea about woke us up at 5 o’clock in the morning every morning. It was so loud that we thought the speakers were on the property below our balcony. Definitely bring earplugs if you are staying in building seven. This happens multiple times a day, but being woken up abruptly at five in the morning was not pleasant. Ear plugs should be provided. We understand this is their religion and have zero issues with this but an FYI would be nice. Don’t splurge on the nicer view rooms if this bothers you. The beach club across the street had a fun vibe. We enjoyed dinner there and it was great !
Stunning property. Great food. Service was excellent. Location is quiet and beautiful beach. Beach club across the street was also excellent and convenient. Overall, the stay was one of the best we had.
