Fake advertising!! The hotel is not on the beach and does NOT have direct access to it despite claim on it web site and on Expedia including fake photo trying to prove otherwise!!( pics of beach from a business they collaborate with. You have to cross a busy road to get to the beach !!
2) there are no elevators to reach the reception or the breakfast restaurant!!
3) they make you wait when you check out until they have checked the room to make sure you did not take the TV with you ?!! And forcefully tell you to wait “ because that is the procedure “!!!
Definitely not a 5 star property and should not be allowed to make false claims as being on the beach !!!

Varana Hotel Krabi has the potential to be a wonderful hotel. However, during my stay there it was evident that the hotel was simply not ready -- not that the hotel rooms are not fully built (they are and they are wonderful), more so the activity areas. Multiple fitness/health areas were still under construction, there were three different schedules for activities that never matched, some of the "fitness courses" were either closed or had not been built, and every activity had an additional fee if you wanted to partake. While I understand that this may be because I visited during the low season, the lack of a "complete" hotel should have been stated. The hotel is just not ready for visitors who want to take advantage of the different offerings that Varana advertises.

Located on the west side of Krabi only 15 mins away from the night market. The facility has a lot of physical activities with an olympic swimming pool, boxing ring and a gym (indoor and outdoor).

Lovely facilities and staff. Food from the hotel restaurants was surprisingly really good so was fine with paying hotel pricing. Beach across the road is much nicer and quieter compared to Ao Nang.
If you're wanting a relaxed getaway to just chill by the pool or beach then this place is great. Happy I chose to stay here than Ao Nang.

Phenomenal property and such a great experience. We normally leave the hotel to do activities surrounding but had a hard time doing it this time around because Varana had everything you could need at such an affordable price! Food, spa, pools, activities were all amazing and we will be back for sure! This is a MUST stay if you are visiting Krabi!
