Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 4 October 2026 · How we review hotels
The Tubkaak Krabi Boutique Resort is a place to slow down. It sits right on Tubkaak Beach, a quiet stretch north of Ao Nang where limestone islands rise from the bay and the sun sets over the water. Rooms are wood-panelled and cosy, with balconies and open-air bathrooms, and the Arundina restaurant looks out over water lily ponds to the sea. Guests speak most warmly about the staff, who are described as kind and personal, along with the beach, the views and the calm, well-kept gardens. The trade-offs follow from its size and seclusion. Rooms suit two best, and several guests found them smaller than expected. Ao Nang is around 20 minutes away by car, so most meals happen at the resort, and some guests found the prices high. Couples who want peace, a spa and attentive service will feel well looked after; groups who need more room may prefer somewhere larger.
Guests score it 9.4 out of 10 — the average across the 10 hotels we list in Krabi is 9.3.
What Guests Loved
- The resort sits right on Tubkaak Beach, and guests keep returning to the view: limestone islands rising from the bay, calm water and sunsets they describe as spectacular.
- Staff are the most praised part of a stay. Guests describe the team as kind, professional and personal, with many naming individual staff members who went out of their way to make the stay special.
Things to Consider
- Several guests found the rooms smaller than expected, and three adults sharing felt cramped. A few also noticed footsteps from the room above and found the air conditioning very cold.
- With little else nearby, most meals are eaten at the resort, and some guests felt that food and drinks were expensive for what they were. A couple of guests also wished for a wider breakfast selection.
Should you book it?
The Tubkaak Krabi Boutique Resort is worth booking for couples looking for a quiet, romantic beach stay — but pick somewhere else if you are three adults sharing one room.
