Baan Krating Phuket Resort

Everything about Baan Krating was perfect.

Quiet and beautiful location in natural garden,forest setting, away from craziness and over commercialisation. Small cove beaches with shady native trees and relatively good, snorkelling, some living coral and good variety of fish, urchins etc. Rocks and pools to explore. Herons and local bird life. Excellent restaurant with delicious Thai food as well as international, if wanted, all day. Secluded beach bar behind beach with cheerful barman. Beautiful clean room - huge bathroom and bedroom with mosquito net in door panels balcony and extra outside shower. Sea breeze and geckos (outside) keeping insects at bay. Very helpful, friendly staff. Ronny and team were fantastic.

Stayed there before but not in one of the pavilion rooms. Very comfortable and lovely view.

It is a little remote tp get to. I knew this but it seemed a bit further than I recalled but its relative isolation is an attraction.

This gem of a hotel (with lodges) is located at the end of a very narrow road with no passing traffic. It’s hidden away from the crowds in amongst tall, lush vegetation sloping down to its own small beach. The rooms were spacious and I particularly liked the double sinks. Our lodge had a large terrace with stunning sunrise views. A wide choice of massages were available on site and also there was a lovely restaurant with both Thai and International dishes. Staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. We had a lovely stay!

My only niggle was the amplified music which could be heard on some evenings drifting across the bay from the main beach (which was a good kilometre’s distance away) but it nevertheless disturbed the serenity of this beautiful resort.

Respect for nature. Quiet. Most friendly and service minded staff.
