Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 10 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Dusit Thani Krabi Beach Resort is a resort for people who want the beach, the pool and the day's activities within a short walk of each other. It lies on Klong Muang Beach, a quieter stretch of coast north of Ao Nang, with large pools set in tropical gardens at the edge of the sand. Guests talk most about the friendly staff, the clean and spacious rooms and the beach itself, and families value the kids' club, the family rooms and a breakfast area set aside for children. The size of the place cuts both ways. The grounds are extensive, so golf buggies do much of the work, and the breakfast room can feel crowded and warm at busy times. Ao Nang is about 15 minutes away by road, so evenings out need a taxi. Families and couples who plan to spend most of the holiday at the resort will find a calm and well-run base.
Guests score it 9.2 out of 10 — the average across the 10 hotels we list in Krabi is 9.3.
What Guests Loved
- The pools lie at the edge of the sand and the beach in front of the resort is the part guests describe most often: clean, calm and beautiful. The tropical gardens around the pools add to the sense of space.
- Staff come up in almost every review, from reception and housekeeping to the pool team. Guests describe them as welcoming, quick to help and professional, and several say the service is the reason they would return.
Things to Consider
- Several guests found the breakfast area crowded at peak times and the outdoor seating hot, and a few felt the buffet could offer more for a hotel of this level.
- Klong Muang is peaceful, which is part of its appeal, but Ao Nang is about 15 minutes away by road and the airport about 40 minutes. Klong Muang Plaza, with small shops and services, is within walking distance.
