Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 4 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Banyan Tree Krabi wins guests over with its people and its views. The resort sits at the end of Tab Kaek Beach on Krabi's Andaman coast, and reviewers describe stunning views, rooms that feel private and villas with their own pool. Staff are the most praised part of the stay, attentive enough that families with an infant had every request met. The spa, with a sauna and a steam room, gets warm words for its massages, and the food runs from a breakfast with plenty of choice to Thai, Mediterranean and seafood dinners. Getting around relies partly on buggies, which one guest found slow to come. Another felt the grounds and pool are due for a refresh, and value for money is the category rated lowest. Couples after a pool villa with a view and families who want a kids' club and polished service will be well looked after; travellers who dislike waiting for a buggy may prefer a more compact hotel.
Guests score it 9.5 out of 10 — the average across the 10 hotels we list in Krabi is 9.3.
What Guests Loved
- Staff are praised in almost every review for being friendly, welcoming and dedicated, and guests mention individual team members by name. Families say every request, including those for an infant, was met.
- Guests keep returning to the views and the setting. The resort lies at the end of Tab Kaek Beach, and reviewers enjoyed both the beach and the beach bar.
Things to Consider
- Guests get around the resort partly by buggy, and one guest found that the buggies were sometimes slow to arrive.
- One guest felt the grounds and the swimming pool were due for updating, and another found the small pool in front of the main restaurant and spa less appealing. Value for money is the category guests rate least highly.
Should you book it?
