Guest Reviews:

- "Tropical paradise. Wonderful personalised service. Great food - breakfast selection was good and the cooked breakfast options were fantastic. All included in the room rate. Loved the exclusive location in Krabi, which is truly a beautiful part of the world." - "Super friendly staff" - "Beautiful resort in a wonderful setting with excellent, friendly staff." - "Extraordinary location, amazing resort and outstanding service" - "What not to like, can't fault this resort, Amazing staff, can't help you enough. Amazing facilities, lots of activities daily or you can book some also. Amazing accommodation. Houses are unreal, I could live in one and be happy, god send when it rains having a living room to chillax, don't get me started on the beds, pillows are like marshmallows. Breakfast is superb, best I've ever had and huge choice, all quality food and drinks. Food is exceptional in all resort restaurants, sunset at the beach restaurant is perfect. Beautiful beaches, on all sides and close to other islands if you want to explore. Monkeys, big lizards, snorkeling, I loved this place. (Maya bay only 45mins away) Plenty places to eat outside the resort along the beach if you want to explore. It may be 2/3x the price of the other hotels, but when you stay here you will soon forget that and realise why."

- "This resort was beyond anything I'd imagined! The pool, restaurants and common areas were absolutely stunning. The resort is embedded into the surrounding jungle; a giant cliff hangs over the pool. The food is spectacular and the staff is lovely. I cannot recommend Phutawan highly enough! It's especially ideal for younger people, traveling in groups or with a partner. It's so affordable, which is hard to believe considering how stunning it is!"

Great value for money hotel, should be a 5 star" - "A wonderful place to stay with some of the most attentive and polite staff we have ever met in the world. Our room, which was one of the villas, was sublime - the private pool and the bungalow style accommodation was absolutely divine and we tried to extend our stay by two nights! Unfortunately for us (but fortunately for the next lucky people) it was already fully booked! Nevertheless a very memorable stay.

- "Everything" - "The most beautiful view in Krabi, you pay for it. Villas and furniture are quite worn ( Photos of the rooms look more shiny than the real rooms), showers and toilets are new and clean though, pillows are horrible, but towels and bathrobes are amazing quality. I will come next time with my pillows. Stuff is very sweet and helpful, really nice and caring people. Some small things could be improved easily and will give the property a better look - like a broken wooden gate to the sea. I will come back, still one of the best options in Krabi to stay especially for a big family."
