The Elements Krabi Resort SHA Plus

My friend and I were literally blown ashore kayaking during a rough storm, and had the great fortune to land at the beach in front of The Elements Resort. Despite being wet sopping messes with nothing but a boat, small gear bags and our paddles, the hotel staff immediately welcomed us and treated us like VIPs, bringing towels, juice, and chairs while we checked in. Then they gave us room upgrades to what was possibly the most beautiful resort bathroom I've ever had the joy to call mine for a night. Everything was immaculate and the whole room was beautifully designed with quality furnishings and accoutrements. My post-hot-shower "thank god" martini in the restaurant was excellent, as was the extensive and tasty breakfast prepared to order the next morning. I wish we would have had time to try the spa and gym, but we were back paddling the next morning. The manager helped haul our boat back to the water, and everyone came to say goodbye as we launched. I cannot say enough about this local, sole proprietor property and the truly exceptional level of service from its staff. The location is special, too -- it's a short distance to the busier strip of places, (like the Ritz) at Tub Kaek beach, but it sits off the main road so there is absolutely no road noise at night. There's a nice seafood restaurant and 7-11 nearby, too. I just can't thank them enough for a truly wonderful stay.

Overall a great experience. Courteous staff, great breakfast and the room was well maintained too. Tired dinner once - didn't like the pizza. This resort is quite away from the Ao Nang beach area, however the beach is just across the road too.

Superb service and beautiful resort away from the crowds and noise. Staff couldn’t do enough. Breakfast was included and they also do complimentary snacks by the pool in the afternoon. Room was spacious. Pool was big and nearly always empty. They have a shuttle which runs in the afternoon to ao nang landmark market between 3pm and last pick-up 8:30pm.
