Krabi Tipa Resort

Everything

I liked it all

Amazing resort. Extremely beautiful. The room was amazing with a great view. The pool was beautiful too. Very clean.

There is a deposit of 50€ which if you pay by card, you have to wait 30 days to get back in your account. Also, the person i was with got low blood sugar late at night around 23pm. I went to the reception to get a Coke, and they said they don’t provide any drinks, which is weird for me.

Everything from the welcome drink, the staff, the rooms, the facilities

The location is excellent and the infinity pool has beautiful views

This hotel may have been at the top of its game back in the day but it is way past that now. Many of the services and facilities that were apparently once on offer are no longer; we were shown a map of the resort on arrival which indicated many facilities were available, including more than one restaurant, however. Cafe Mood appears to have been closed down for some time, the pool table has ‘out of order’ signs on it which have clearly been there for a long time, the ‘kids club’ with ‘library’ is a tiny, bathroom-sized room with a few bits of plastic furniture and no books. The laundry service doesn’t operate. In terms of 4 star standards, this just isn’t it; I had to ask for more pillows in the room as we were given one each, the pool towels supplied are basically large tea towels (guests are told not to use their room towels at the pool), there are no cushions on the loungers, daily room cleaning is minimal, the breakfast buffet is of backpacker hostel standard. We were put off the breakfast when my husband watched a staff member remove a spoon from the jam which was covered in bees and drop them into the toaster to kill them. We mostly ate elsewhere for the rest of the week or ate the basics if we were leaving early for an excursion. The staff are pleasant enough but seem to do the basics. The staff members at the infinity pool bar had very little in the way of work to do but, instead of proactively clearing up dirty dishes and glasses from the poolside, they mostly watched TV on their phones. Overall, it’s pretty soulless; there is no buzz about the place, nothing keeping guests there instead of going into town for dinner and drinks.
