Ko Jum Mountain Vacations

Great location with beach just over the road. Was like a tranquil oasis away from the great hustle and bustle of Krabi. Spa experiences were amazing after adventure days island hopping.

I loved my stay at Happy Hotel. It’s a small hotel, and it’s nice and peaceful. The staff is all amazing and super helpful, and it’s modern as it’s brand-new and it’s absolutely spotless! The staff is very helpful and caring, and the breakfast was lovely too. I would recommend staying here if you are coming to Krabi! Thank you all for a wonderful stay. 🙏😊

Room was clean. Not enough pillows but we’re given more when we asked. Room was extremely HOT at night. They have the thermostat locked so you can not lower it. Not a comfortable nights sleep. Breakfast buffet was good. They also only give one key that has to be inserted into wall to make everything work. If someone wants to go out while others sleep then it becomes an issue.

We had a wonderful stay at Varana Hotel in Krabi. The hotel is beautifully designed, aesthetic, and meticulously maintained. The staff is exceptionally welcoming and always happy to help with a smile at any time. The facilities are top-notch: the fitness center is hands down one of the best you'll find in a hotel, and the spa and treatment area is of a very high standard. A couple of things to keep in mind: Spa amenities: The wet/dry sauna is only open for about three hours a day (split into single-hour slots) and comes with an extra fee, which was a bit disappointing. Location: The hotel is located about a 15-minute drive from central Ao Nang. This means you will likely find yourself commuting there once or twice a day if you're looking for attractions or taking boat trips to the islands (like Railay or Phi Phi), which are a must-do.

Fantastic experience. So nice and quiet away from the hustle of Ao Nang. Super quiet, garden pool bungalows are the ultimate private space. Staff was excellent.

Great hotel. Great breakfast. Would definitely come back.

Great sized rooms very clean it is noisy but you know it’s going to be

Here’s a more elevated, luxury-travel version while still sounding genuine and personal: We had an exceptional stay at BlueSotel Smart Krabi and were genuinely impressed from the moment we arrived. We decided to upgrade our room at check-in, and the staff graciously accommodated us with an early check-in, which was such a wonderful way to begin our stay. The entire property feels modern, stylish, and beautifully maintained. Every staff member we encountered was warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. The rooftop pool was an absolute highlight—the stunning views, beautiful setting, and relaxed atmosphere made it the perfect place to unwind. The location is another major plus. The hotel is just steps from the beach and within easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, and access to take the speedboat to the other islands, making it incredibly convenient while still feeling like a relaxing escape. We would absolutely stay at BlueSotel Smart again and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a stylish and memorable stay in Ao Nang, Krabi.

Krabi is incredible, definitely go. That being said, I loved Koko Hostel but it’s not for everyone. Older building, run down amenities, leaky water connections everywhere. Koko does a great job of bringing people together, lots of hostel sponsored events and gatherings, I’ll be back for sure!
