The hype
Guests are obsessed with the staff ('treated like family') and the lush jungle landscaping, but many feel the food pricing is aggressive.
The Tubkaak Krabi Boutique Resort- Sha Extra Plus+
$200-450 / нощ
Запазете го, ако You want a hyper-romantic, nature-immersed escape on the mainland that feels like an island, and you don't mind paying a premium for isolation.
Защо хората я обичат
- Stunning views of the Hong Islands from the beach
- The Arundina's exceptional Thai food (with a menu by Chef David Thompson)
- Signature outdoor sunken bathtubs in every room
Бързо резюме: A gorgeous, eco-chic sanctuary that is currently battling construction noise next door and charges island prices for a mainland location.
Преглеждано от @Travel.gal: I stayed in this Garden Villa and it was the ultimate jungle escape. The outdoor stone bathtub was my favorite spot to unwind after hiking Dragon Crest. If you want total privacy and nature vibes without sacrificing luxury, this is the place.

Reality check
While most rooms are pristine, a few recent reports (July 2025) mention musty smells and mold issues in specific ground-floor units, likely due to the heavy vegetation and humidity.
- You crave privacy and hate the chaos of Ao Nang
- You love outdoor bathrooms and being surrounded by dense tropical flora
- You are a foodie willing to pay $30+ for a curry if it's world-class

Преди да резервирате
Добре е да знаете

- No pets allowed.
Какво да пакувате
- Serious mosquito repellent (the 'eco' stuff provided isn't always enough)
- Reef-safe sunscreen for Hong Island trips
- Books/Kindle (this is a place to do nothing)

“I am celebrating a special occasion and requesting a room as far as possible from the neighboring construction site. We prefer an upper-floor unit or a villa with maximum privacy, away from the main pool foot traffic.”
Често задавани въпроси и скрити съвети
Всичко, което наистина трябва да знаеш, преди да резервираш.
Is this hotel on Ko Lanta?
No. The user prompt had a location error. The Tubkaak is on the Krabi mainland, north of Ao Nang.
Is the construction noise unbearable?
It varies. Daytime (9am-5pm) can be noisy if you are near the property line. Beachfront and central villas are quieter.
How expensive is the food?
Pricey for Thailand. Expect 600-1000+ THB per person for dinner. A Pad Thai might run 350-450 THB.
Can I walk to other restaurants?
Barely. There are a couple of other resorts nearby (like Phulay Bay) but local 'cheap eats' are a taxi ride away.
Is the pool private?
Pool Villas have private plunge pools. The main pool is shared and can get claimed by early risers.
Are kids allowed?
Yes, but it's not 'kid-focused'. No kids' club. It's very quiet and adult-oriented.
Съвети на инсайдъра

Walk north along the beach past the resort to find a quieter stretch of sand and a view of the local fishing pier.
- ✨
The 'free' kayaks are first-come, first-served; go at high tide (check tide charts at reception).
- ✨
Happy Hour at the Sundowner bar offers 2-for-1 drinks at sunset—essential for offsetting the high menu prices.
5 неща, които трябва да знаете преди да отидете
💡The 'outdoor bathroom' concept means you might share your shower with a gecko or frog.
💡The library is actually a fantastic, cool retreat with decent coffee if the room gets too claustrophobic.
💡You can hike the 'Dragon Crest' (Ngon Nak) mountain trail directly from behind the resort—it's grueling but free.
💡Breakfast coffee is excellent, but you have to order the specialty ones (cappuccino, latte) specifically; they aren't on the buffet.
💡The 'Garden Rooms' can feel a bit dark due to the heavy tree cover.
