I traveled by myself four days in Krabi and booked a package. I found out (later) that air ticket price (although with a so called low cost airline) was 95% the cost of the package and consequently accommodation represented the remaining 5%. So I was very much concerned about the hotel and what to find out there.
Well, it may be exaggerated to call the place a "resort'. they certainly do not offer such facilities (swimming pools, large lobby, multiple bars, amenities (coffee, tea, water, etc....) in the room), and they are not dozen of gardeners taking care of the surroundings.
Having said that, and contrary to some comments I read here and there, for people looking for low budget type accommodation I would recommend this place. People are nice and friendly and not pushy. Rooms are basic yes, bathroom is basic too, ... and clean. Bed in good condition, clean linen and towels. One can have breakfast and meals on the spot at reasonable prices. Walking distance from other restaurants and bars/pubs in a quiet surrounding and within 100 meters from the beach. Yes there is high tides and low tides. At low tide the water is far away, nature does it. My advice: stay in this place, rent a bike, travel around and go in the evening to Ao Nang to listen to live music while having a beer or two. Now if you're looking for luxury, nearby you will find Sheraton or Sofitel (not same budget, though!)
