Baan Krating Phuket Resort
The advantages of the hotel:
Located in a picturesque tropical forest - very cool.
There are 2 (two) small private beaches
We were given a separate bungalow house located in the center of the territory and overlooking the sea.
There are small reefs near the beaches where you can swim with a mask.
Good cuisine... you can safely order food and cocktails in the room until 22.00. Everything is delicious, while the price tags are not too high in comparison with cafes in the city.
We are always ready to give ice - for those who brought whiskey with them from dutik.
Very kind and welcoming staff.
There is our own scooter rental (we took a new Honda for 160 cm3 - for 350 baht per day).
The hotel is separated from civilization - for someone it will be a plus.
Nai Harn is a 20-minute walk away. You will have to go through constant ascents and descents.
Monkeys live on the territory of the hotel, we saw a monitor lizard on the beach, a huge number of butterflies.
If you follow the path along the beach uphill, you can walk in 20 minutes to the simply unrealistically steep cape, where locals go to meet sunsets.
Disadvantages of the hotel:
A very solid bed made of two separate mattresses...with a hole in the middle.
Tiny lizards were constantly crawling in our house :)
Animals were climbing on the roof of the house at night... birds, or monkeys.
Inside the house, of course, everything is modestly done... it can be seen that everything is old and requires cosmetic repairs. But considering that we were just sleeping... it didn't matter to us.
A wonderful, quiet place. There are rocks on the beach (entrance to the sea), but you can use coral slippers and there are no problems. The water is clean and transparent. Beautiful corals, starfish, fish. The sand on the beach is large. Swimming is great, but I do not recommend it for holidays with young children.
Rating 4.5
But there is no such figure here. 0.5 points minus for the constant surf, and the rocks (corals) in the water. Although on the other hand, it's the best thing for snorkeling enthusiasts. The beach is quite secluded, lots of shade, large sand. But you can either get there by scooter or live there.
