Kantiang Bay View Resort

The facility is pretty good and located just by the beach, but staff makes you feel that you are not welcome. They don't care about your presence at all!. While checking in they did not provide any details such as when breakfast is starting or what we can use during our stay. They did not prepare the room, no paper toilet, fridge was not working. On top of that they do provide a breakfast, but dry toast with butter cost 100 baht! Wow, good luck with that. Overall summary is, I will never get back there as I felt I'm intruder not a guest. Choose any other hotel you will feel so much better!

This place gets Flummi's 5 stars!

Not sure what the negative reviews are for?

No pool, but a gorgeous kid/pet friendly beach, nice mix of quiet and still some lively bar action and fire shows for the grown ups ????????????

Such a shame that the surrounding bars and restaurantes look shut after covid. Hope we get some likeminded slowmads here soon! ????

Falling in LOVE with the vibe and the staff here, so thoughtful and respectful ❤️... Excellent for those wanting a proper off the beaten track/support the locals/culturally diverse experience... Babezinger quality right here ????

If you stop in koh lanta. This is the place you can stop for the night. Sea side and food are easy here.

Nice Bungalows. Peaceful. Without youngsters. Mostly, couples and families with kids. Beach is wide and long. Water entrance is not so good during low tide, because of big rocks in the water. Only, I couldn't understand that people came on the beach and leave a garbage behind them. Those people should be a shamed. Every night on the beach half an hour fire show with live music. Soon after that, beach is empty and quiet. Real vacation. Village is small, with just few restorans and one grocery shop. At 23 hrs It's all peaceful and closed. Note: Everything has 15-20% higher prices than on the continental part of Thailand. Especially massages.

Boring food and slow service in peak hours. Friendly staff is present and you see a smile now and then. Ok bungalows, but some are less insect secured than others. One of our bungalows had a lot of mosquitos. The openings was big enough for both Huntsman spiders and geckos to get into the bungalow, but unfortunately the gecko was unable to keep the insects away. Nice location with nice sunsets. Good tourist info/ transfer operator. Horrible and unusable internet.

Gorgeous private bungalows here well worth the extra 500 baht a night. Some standard rooms are beautiful with a sea view, others far more basic for the same price. Bathrooms in standard rooms need updating but lovely place to stay with great staff and restaurant.

Location is amazing and the staff are fine. Very conveniently located. However there was confusion getting here and getting away. Getting here in the middle of the night we were first taken to kantiang view resort.

Getting away we booked a van through the hotel to get to Krabi airport. We needed to go to terminal 2, he went to terminal 1 and then left the airport. As a foreigner I wasn't aware the 2 are connected (no signage) upon leaving I told him I needed to go back to the airport and he laughed and kept driving. Finally stopped at a different bus location where we were asked why we didn't get off. Of course we tried to explain. And couldn't. We don't speak Thai, they didn't speak English. No one's fault. At first, then we were told that taxis couldn't go to terminal 2. Of course then we were forced to pay for an expensive taxi back to the airport who took us straight to terminal 2. I don't mind the inconvenience. I mind being laughed at and lied to. I paid for a service and didn't get that service.

As a side note, the driver was not the same driver whose license was posted in the van, and the van was overloaded with people. I understand maximizing profit but the resort should vet who they use.

My vacation to Thailand has been amazing and I always expect a few bumps travelling overseas, but this was unacceptable.

More about the hotel. The power went out for several hours one night and it was dangerously hot, but the generator was running and the lights in the bar/restaurant stayed on. Seems like your guests needs should come first. Especially when it's nearly 100° out. Ants all over the place, which is to be expected on an island, but this was a little much. I wouldn't stay at this hotel again. There were no trash cans in the room, no service to clean the room, not good service.

If you do make the mistake of staying here, enjoy the good cocktails at the bar, the cheap motorbike rental, and the nightly live music/fire shows. Those things will ALMOST redeem this place.
