Blu Monkey Pooltara Krabi

Being located outside of the surrounding towns makes your stay a lot calmer. Easy (15-20 mins) access to all main points of interest in the area.

Everything is like on the pictures

We wanted to travel with our dog, Sparkle and this was the perfect place. We were all so happy and felt comfortable and taken care of the whole time. There are so many activities and beautiful nature to explore. We ended up extending our stay and we will definitely be back.

Nothing really. It's about 20 minutes from Ao Nang, so we drove there a few times. But we wanted to be away from everything and peaceful in nature so it was perfect.

If you are looking for a quiet break from the busy Krabi centre, then this place will meet your needs. Breakfast was a nice set up and a nice change from standard hotels. Bed is very comfortable.

Location is not ideal, unless you have a vehicle or scooter. Ride shares are not likely to pick up from this location and returning from Krabi centre will cost you up to 600baht. The property probably needs a little more up keep.

Secluded paradise in a gorgeous lush green setting. Wonderful freshwater creek to paddle in, great pool, the grounds are large and stunning to walk around with lots of seating placed in different areas for relaxing. It's cooler too and protected from the sun but still perfectly warm. Amazing surroundings and they keep the grounds very well maintained. Restaurant/ cafe makes excellent food. We loved our 1 bedroom villa which was a suite, the "kitchen" though was outdoors so we didn't use it, and there's only a fridge and kettle not a microwave so a bit limited. There's so much humidity everywhere it's hard for the showers and bathrooms to be pristine which we understand but they could be updated or regrouted. Nice small outdoor playset for young kids.Great community outdoor room with pool table, table tennis, water cooler, etc. Very fun to feed the fish and ducks.

The very kind and friendly staff speak very little english so it's hard to communicate, though there was an event during our stay so I think the better english-speaking members were off site. It's remote which is great but you have to call for taxis well in advance as the grab app won't pick up from this location, but it's easy from town to get one back to hotel. They have a nice cafe with a great menu and do room service but very limited options if you're vegetarian - same goes for the breakfast (and if vegan you would really struggle). However the food is excellent and very well presented. There's a 7-11 about 5 mins drive but you'll need the staff to take you, or you can ride the bikes they have which my husband did but I wouldn't feel safe doing. If you want a lot of food options buy them in the town, the 7-11 and nearby market is limited. We never got the Netflix on the TV to work but I'm sure it does, it's the kind of place for a digital detox anyhow.

This was our second time here. The natural pool, swimming pool, green property, cute ducks, and vegan friendly breakfast are very comforting. If you've a personal car, it's really an amazing experience to stay here.

We opted for the more expensive loft option this time but I'd say it wasn't for us. It's too congested and has a tiny bathroom. It is smaller than what it appears in the photos they have shared on the websites. It becomes even more congested if its raining, because then we need to bring the clothes drying rack inside, since the outside eaves aren't big enough to shield the rack from rain. We asked them to move us to the minitel rooms that we had experienced last time. Thankfully those rooms are spacious, with great views of the karsts, and a big bathroom.It isn't their fault, maybe they can explain the room sizes better, but for us we ended up rationalising our choice and mid way changed our minds and moved to the normal hotel room, even though their cost was lower than what we had already paid for the loft. They didn't offer fare difference refund, but now we have learnt for next time that the loft isn't worth it. Maybe it would be fine for 1 person. But for a 2 people, it's too small.

Beautifully surrounded by nature. Thoroughly enjoyed kayaking in the crystal clear stream flowing through the property

LocationBreakfast Very nice territory Facilities Service

It used to have a better housekeeping service 1 year ago.

Comfortable mattress, stunning territory, good staff

Got poisoned in the restaurant. Ordered BBQ set, at first they brought raw meat, after I asked to cook it, they cooked seemed in a microwave or something like that. As a result we got poisoned after eating that meat.Also as a minus: the bathrooms definitely need a renovation.

The hotel is in the nature surrounded by big trees and has many facilities.The staffs are friendly and helpful. They let me early checkin and suggested the hospital for me since I had high fever during the stay. Also, I requested to order congee which is not in the menu but they made for me. In the morning, the staff followed up with my fever whether I had recovered or not or whether I needed anything else. Such a nice place with great service-mind staffs. I also love their breakfast that arranged in vintage style. I will come back here for my next trip in Krabi.

I like everything

It was nice and quiet, had a nice cafe besides really liked the natural pool as well

If you look for a quiet place to relax, this is definitely the best. I spend 4 nights here and it was great. However, the place is far away from tourist locations, so you have to rent a motorbike or a car.

Really nice and tropical surroundings, peaceful, great pool, there are other activities you can do (like taking a cooking class), nice and comfy rooms, tasty breakfast

For a digital nomad family of five, WiFi is one of the key aspects of any stay, and this one really surprised us in a good way - 60Mpbs in the middle of the jungle! We loved the free kayaks and easy access to the river - much wildlife to observe once in the water, below and above. It felt great to be so close to nature yet within easy reach of civilization. I loved how wild the jungle was, a bit of a hippie paradise vibe. The best part about this stay was hearing (and seeing) all the wildlife around us.

Taps needed some serious attention in our villa, and there was a distinct lack of wardrobes, so we made do with the antique writing cabinet and a TV stand. Overall, we paid the same amount to stay here as we did to spend a week in a top-notch 5* resort in Cambodia, so from that perspective, the value for money is something left to be desired. With that said, you pay for location and access to nature.

Great location, secluded peaceful place.Kind, friendly staff.Good on site food.

Amazing stay with spacious villas and lofts. Kayaking in a stream inside the resort was a pleasant experience.Great place to unwind away from the town and still be a short ride away from the action.

Location is 1 hour from Krabi Airport and 40 minutes from Krabi. It is relatively remote and in the country side which has pros and cons. There is a village 3 km away where you can get basics (good 30 minute walk along busy road) but otherwise it is secluded and own transport or taxi is needed. Bedroom is clean and tidy.

This is a 2 star property at best - no way its 4 star. Staff english is poor and they were generally not interested and poorly informed about things to do. Lots of expensive tour brochures!! Claims to be eco-friendly - location is wild but property condition is run down which is not the same as being an eco-lodge!! 'Dining room', which is also the bar, is an out house with a jumble of old furniture. Zero atmosphere - guests dived in and out as quick as possible - its just not comfortable. There is a pool which is OK but small but the much marketed river / 'blue lagoon' was low and you could only canoe a hundered meters of so. Bicycles were simply not operaitonal - pedals at 45 degrees to the shaft and in total disrepair. Food is provided by a subcontractor hence everything has to be paid for on the spot - it was OK on a par with basic streetfood (which can be very nice). Unless you want to spend the whole time at the property, you either need your own transport OR a lot of patience and $$ since getting a taxi is hard and expensive given the location. We ended up simply using the place to sleep and wash and hired a car to make the visit tolorable and ate away from the property.

Beautiful green area. Nice location for relaxation and recreation in the nature. Very nice and perfectly balanced breakfast.

Uncomfortable beds. Shitty bikes for usage (almost impossible to use). Water passage blocked for kayaking. “I don’t know” is the favourite sentence of the staff, they try to help and give recommendations, however communication with staff members is very difficult. You need a scooter or car to get around. No help to organise anything. Expensive shuttle.

Qie

Love it here if you prefer to stay away from noisy area and free Kayaking and bicycle ride small garden and farm

Such a special place! Cozy bungalows in the middle of the jungle. For true nature lovers. Great design aesthetic, nice beds, amazing breakfast, very friendly staff. Would definitely come again!!

If to be nip picking, there could have also been AC in the toilet. But seriously, this place is such a cool, amazing place, we didn't care.

The location is really great, specially if u enjoy more nature

The only thing i didn’t like is the fact that the employees are coming at 08:00 am and they start to make a lot of noise and yell not talk to each other, so if u are not a early bird don’t really recommend
