Deevana Krabi Resort

Its all about location. Great beach... shade under trees or the umbrellas provided. We stayed in the 3 story part of the hotel. The beds are very hard. The staff when i mentioned it right away put a new, a little thicker topper on our beds that didnt help much but made a difference. Very large room with a good bathroom etc. We never did breakfast their as the breakfast buffet for the price didnt look appealing. Right next door is street vendors whose food was really good and reasonable priced. Just down the rd a couple really good restaurants. We did rent a scooter to do other activities. People from other hotels would taxi to the location as they liked the beach.

We had a wonderful stay at Deevana. Stunning location away from the hustle and bustle, but still in walking distance to the beach. Perfect pool and bar, in a lovely setting. Great AC and WiFi, top room cleaning. Two small things we would change: the first, the walls and doors are thin enough that you can hear people coming and going from rooms, and people in the pool early in the morning (not the best lie-ins!). The second, the upstairs rooms have a pitched roof so there’s not a lot of standing space, and nowhere to sit besides your bed, but I suppose this is reflected by cheaper price. Still overall a great stay and would recommend.

The overall experience at Deevana Krabi Resort was a bit underwhelming. There was a mouldy smell in the room and after few requests/conversations, we got a shift to Deevana Plaza (after an unhappy discussion about paying more to move, which they finally decided to waive). There seemed to be also quite a few mosquitos inside the room. Interactions with staff in general did not feel enthusiastic, not proactive, with room for training and improvement. Breakfast area was quite big, with decent options but got crowded during the peak breakfast times. Coffee machine queues seemed long during these times. The resort seemed fully booked. There were many good local/small restaurants and food options in the nearby street. The walk to the nearby beach took around 15 minutes. There were also multiple day tour outlets/options available outside (some good deals) and at the hotel. The room in Deevana Plaza overall felt much better than Deevana Krabi resort. So, the advise is to be aware of the two nearby properties (especially if you have a sensitive sense of smell), check out the difference and figure out your preference in advance.

We have been spending a week at this resort and I can honestly say before I got here I was a little worried as it not a hotel we would normally choose let me say I cannot say what a wonderful hotel this is from the moment you arrive you are welcomed by the super friendly reception we arrived late at night and was met by the most lovely smiling Mia who was a delight and could not be more helpful deevena resort is a little piece of heaven in Krabi you are nearer enough to the main town to go and see everything you can walk or get free shuttle from the hotel The rooms are a selection of little bungalow that are spotless clean there is two pools I would suggest anyone visiting to either book a room that as the outside area with the round bath tub super nice and if your mobility is not the best ask for one by the pool on the lower part breakfast is very good lots of selection and again super friendly staff there is a bar pool again with staff that cannot do enough for you one particular bar person a little older than the other never stop working looking after the guest and the pool Krabi was not what I expected but this hotel and its staff just made it a lovely week if you are visiting Krabi please book this hotel it’s not a modern hotel but what it has and make it outstanding is the surrounding the fantastic staff that offer you a wonderful experience thank you for the best week

At the end of a G Adventures tour we ended up here. It seems they saved the best for last :) The breakfast buffet is good. The wifi is decent. The A/C in the room works well. There isn't anywhere to sit in your room and you have to crawl onto your bed. The staff here work very hard. You are within an easy walk of the 'boardwalk' by the beach.
