Чому люди це люблять
- Stunning private beach area with hammocks, swings, and daybeds
- Excellent on-site dining featuring French-Thai fusion and fresh seafood
- Chilled-out, authentic island atmosphere away from the mega-resorts
Короткий огляд: It's a beautiful, rustic escape right on the sand, but the basic bungalows lack modern polish, and the lack of AC in cheaper rooms will severely test your heat tolerance.
Переглянуто @brunettravels: Our family stay at Relax Bay Resort was the perfect tropical reset. I loved waking up to fresh fruit buffets and walking the stroller-friendly paths down to the quiet beach. Holding my baby by the ocean while my toddler played on the swing was everything I wanted.

Reality check
The bungalows are very basic, sometimes poorly maintained, and the lack of AC in standard rooms can be brutal in the Thai heat.
- You prefer rustic, nature-immersed bungalows over sterile hotel blocks
- You want to spend all day lounging in a hammock by the sea
- You're looking for a quiet, romantic escape without the party crowds
Чистота та обслуговування
6.5
- Housekeeping: Hit or miss. Daily cleaning is provided, but guests report missed spots, dirty windows, and occasional neglect.
- Bathroom hygiene: Basic and functional, but some complaints of poor shower pressure, broken showerheads, and dated fixtures.
- Maintenance: Rustic charm sometimes crosses into disrepair; reports of broken sun loungers, peeling paint, and aging bungalow interiors.
- Linens & towels: Generally clean, but towels and sheets can feel worn out. Replacements are provided every two days or on request.
- Odors & scents: Mostly fresh sea breeze and jungle scents, though the damp environment can make un-air-conditioned rooms smell musty.

ЧаПи та скриті поради
Все, що вам дійсно потрібно знати перед бронюванням.
Is there a pool?
Yes, there's a small garden pool, but the private beach with its hammocks and daybeds is the main draw.
Does the hotel have Wi-Fi?
Yes, free Wi-Fi is available, but speeds can be inconsistent in the individual bungalows.
Are there restaurants nearby?
Yes, the hotel has its own great restaurant (Manao) and beach bar, and it's a 15-minute walk to the main road for more options like Yawee Restaurant.
Is the hotel air-conditioned?
Only some rooms have AC. The cheaper standard bungalows are fan-only, so book carefully if you run hot.
Is the beach good for swimming?
It's great at high tide, but at low tide, the water recedes to reveal a very rocky bottom.
Do they provide airport transfers?
Yes, paid airport shuttles from Krabi Airport can be arranged directly through the hotel.
Поради знавців

Walk 15 minutes to the main road to eat at Yawee Restaurant for some of the best, cheapest local Thai curries.
- ✨
Book your motorbike rental from a shop on the main road rather than the hotel to save some Baht.
5 речей, які варто знати перед вашим виїздом
💡The walk from the main road to the resort is a solid 15 minutes up and down a dirt path, which gets old fast in the heat.
💡The ocean water can sometimes have biting plankton, making the pool a safer bet on certain days.
💡The French-Belgian ownership means the on-site restaurant serves surprisingly good French-Thai fusion.
💡The standard bungalows don't have TVs, forcing a true digital detox.
💡Yoga classes are held right on the beach and are highly rated by guests.
