The Varana Hotel has great curb appeal—beautifully decorated and spacious. But that’s where the compliments stop. As a “wellness” hotel, nearly everything comes at an extra cost, including many activities and access to the beach club. Their sustainability efforts seem more about cutting costs than guest experience. We paid for an Ocean View Room but only saw trees. Rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors do not have ocean views. Walls are thin, so expect noise—from guests, birds, or the 5:30 AM mosque call to prayer. The Olympic pool is 3 meters deep at its shallowest, with no bar or lounge area. Happy hour is a scam—prices increase before offering a “deal.” Hidden fees are everywhere: 1,000 Baht fines for towels on railings, mini-fridge drinks promised as “complimentary” but charged at checkout, and constant upselling of their own services while refusing to recommend outside options. Housekeeping came at 5 PM despite our 6 AM request, and a promised 6 AM boxed breakfast was “confirmed” with a 4 AM wake-up call. In wall safe was not secured tot he wall and easily taken away. Management ignores complaints, offering only “we’ll discuss it in a meeting.” A waste of money—there are better options nearby. Avoid.

Highly recommend!

Absolutely beautiful hotel. The entire complex is spotless and well maintained. The rooms were lovely and beds extremely comfortable. Pool areas are brilliant, could do with proper pool table service as it is difficult to get served unless going to kiosk and can take a long time to get food or drink near the pool. All staff are very friendly and helpful.

Lovely facilities and staff. Food from the hotel restaurants was surprisingly really good so was fine with paying hotel pricing. Beach across the road is much nicer and quieter compared to Ao Nang. If you're wanting a relaxed getaway to just chill by the pool or beach then this place is great. Happy I chose to stay here than Ao Nang.

Not we normally get at a 5 star resort waking up at 5:00 AM every morning from the mosque in the area. You also do not indicate that the Beach Club (which we did enjoy) is completely independent from the hotel

Phenomenal property and such a great experience. We normally leave the hotel to do activities surrounding but had a hard time doing it this time around because Varana had everything you could need at such an affordable price! Food, spa, pools, activities were all amazing and we will be back for sure! This is a MUST stay if you are visiting Krabi!

Not a 5 star resort

For a five star hotel you will certainly be disappointed. Check in is at 3pm. We got to hotel at 3 and they wouldn’t let us into a room until 4pm…. Which is frustrating for the price of the hotel. They also wouldn’t tell us why we couldn’t get our room keys. At 3:01 I asked for the keys and they kept saying “why don’t you sit and enjoy the bar or the pool?” When telling them I wanted to get my room they kept diverting us instead of being straight up and saying they needed more time. We had spent 5 hours traveling, just wanted to go into some air conditioning for a bit and put our bags down. Also the front desk people took quite a long time, took us over 30-40 minutes to check in. Breakfast is small and limited, the waitress we had seemed very annoyed I asked for an omelette. 75% staff was exceptionally pleasant while the other 25% were quite rude and seemed annoyed with us. Language barrier is extremely difficult at this hotel as well, especially for being a 5 star hotel. We would point to things on menus just to have blank stares back at us… we were quite confused by that too. They also were incredibly difficult to get towels from. Even at the main pool on the property they do a poor job cleaning off chairs with old drinks and towels and hard to get someone’s attention for food/drink/clean towels. One day at the pool we went the entire day without towels, then when I asked for two they told me it was 100 bhat! Very cheap but also, I’m staying at the hotel.
