Varana Hotel Krabi

Varana Hotel in Krabi is almost new and a lot of money and thoughts have gone into making this a brilliant hotel, including a 50m olympic size swimming pool and other pools, some whirlpool spa-style. It was low season so no crowds around the pool and therefore a very happily quiet stay. The on-site restaurants Kin (breakfast) and Nook (dinner) served excellent food and the staff were attentive, polite and helpful throughout. There is a road to cross to get to the beach, but the fantastic pool more than made up for the need for visiting the beach at all. Altogether, an excellent hotel. The area around it has plenty of cheap restaurants and massage parlours for those who want to explore on foot.

It was an amazing property, I was bummed that the upper onset wasn’t opened when I was there I guess it will be open next month. I definitely recommend booking the hotels island tour. It was great we had a boat to our selves

The property is only one year old, so everything was brand new. We would definitely stay at Varana again when we're in the area. The Spa needs improvement to feel like a Spa. Massage was mediocre.

What a wonderful experience at The Varana Hotel. The staff was absolutely lovely from start to finish. They were very accomodating and made our visit extra special. The whole hotel vibe was super beautiful and modern. Our room was spacious and I loved the sustainability throughout the entire property. The breakfast was delicious and had many made to order and healthy options. The restaurant Kin, was also so good. We ate there regularly for lunch and dinner. Lastly, the Onsen spa was amazing and we enjoyed how nice and clean it was. Overall, a magical experience! We hope to be back!

Varana is a very nice property. It is *not* directly on the beach; but a very short walk across the street. Staff is super attentive and friendly. The property is gorgeous and the room is quite comfortable. We would stay again for sure.

Place was so nice and vibrant. Staffs are all very friendly. Breakfast was always excellent. Would coke back here again for a stay if too visit Krabi

This resort lived up to its status of being a 5 star. Starting of with a vast property (still look like new), well maintained and very clean, to the staffs that are very friendly and welcoming. They allowed us to checked in early, gave us a discount for the transportation to get our things from the other hotel and back to theirs. The welcome drink and fresh towel is a good gesture, its refreshing and heartwarming at the same time. Once we were checked in, we were escorted to our room via their own tuktuk ride. The room is very spacious and it has a great view from the balcony. The room itself is very clean, nice interior and very pleasing to the eyes. They even provided a bag that you can use should you want to go to the beach or the pool. They have big pools, 3 areas to be exact and its very well maintained. The restaurant has great food selections (we tried breakfast a dinner as well as in room dining). Overall, it was a great experience for us. Too bad its only for a short period. I will definitely come back here in my next visit to Thailand.

New hotel, very clean. The staff are amazing, so helpful and friendly. The hotel is located in a quieter part, maybe 15 mins in a car from the main touristy bit - for us that is a positive. The swimming pools are great, two kid friendly pools and a huge/deep pool for exercise/diving. How the hotel could improve: - better sound proofing in the rooms - branded shampoo/conditioner - a small mirror was taped onto the big mirror in the bathroom, this kept falling off which was rather annoying. Minor complaints. Highly recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a luxury break.

A delightful stay
