Tropical Herbal Spa & Resort Reviews & Ratings

I liked the romantic bed and how the staff did things that were wildly romantic like having a cake surrounded by flower petals on that bed to wish us a happy honeymoon. The resort will set up a flower bath for you for 500 baht and they go all out. It is well worth the money and we loved it. The restaurant staff is great and the front desk manager is one of the best hotel people I have ever met. She is so good, she is scary! She went over and above her job duties to make our stay better. The bedroom is pretty but quite small. It has a big TV (if you like TV, this is good), but I would prefer more space to put my suitcase. With the suitcases on the floor, there was not a whole lot of walking around space. We were at the top of the resort and the top is way up there! It was depressing to have to walk up so many stairs and I found myself trying to not go to my room whenever possible. There are some villas closer to flatter land that would be much better. The place describes their outdoor shower, but does not tell you that workmen can and do walk by that open shower. This is not romantic - it is creepy. They also do not mention that the toilet and sink are also pretty open. You are given a screen to move in front of the toilet. To get to your toilet, shower, or sink, you have to do down some stairs from your bedroom. This is not fun at night. In case you are thinking, Oh I am young so this would not bother me - think again. We are young and it was a chore! The spa is, I think, the most expensive one in Krabi. They wanted 1,500 baht for an oil massage. To give you an idea of how expensive that is, I found a nice place in town that was private and clean that gave me massages for 300 baht. However, I was willing to pay the outrageous sum on my last night as a sort of last blowout. However, they refused to do the massage in my room and I was unwilling to have a relaxing massage and then have to climb and climb and climb up to my room. My overall experience was o.k. If I could have rented the bigger villa that was close to the pool, I am sure I would look at this place in a much better light. Krabi itself is pretty horrible. It is far more expensive than other places in Thailand and not half as pretty. I would never go back there. I think the trick is to fly into Krabi and immediately take a boat to one of the islands to stay. You do need to get inland to go to the hot stream which is amazing and also take a boat to go diving or snorkeling.
