The hype
Travelers love the massive rooms and peace and quiet, but often complain about the 15-20 minute walk to the beach.
Maleedee Bay Resort
$80-120/ yö
Varaa tämä, jos You want a quiet, spacious sanctuary with a massive balcony away from Ao Nang's chaotic main strip, and don't mind a 15-minute walk to the beach.
Miksi ihmiset rakastuvat sitä
- Huge private balconies that are actually usable living spaces
- Dead silent at night compared to beachfront hotels
- Two decent-sized outdoor pools that never feel overcrowded
Pikakatsaus: A solid, slightly dated 3-star sleeper hit that trades modern flash for square footage and silence.
Arvioinut @alicia_katharina: I was shocked by how much value I got here for 30€. My room was spacious, the AC was ice cold, and having a little terrace to drink my morning coffee while looking at the pool was the best way to start the day. Definitely a hidden gem in Krabi.

Reality check
The 'shuttle' runs on a fixed schedule (usually 3-4 times a day), so you will likely end up walking or paying for a tuk-tuk/Grab.
- You prioritize sleep quality over beachfront location
- You need a family-sized room without paying 5-star prices
- You plan to rent a scooter anyway

- Odors & scents: Some ground floor rooms and bungalows have a lingering 'musty' or damp smell, especially in the rainy season.
