Our stay at Krabi Cha-Da Resort was an absolute nightmare from start to finish. Upon arrival, the bellboy gave us no information whatsoever about the hotel’s facilities. We were placed on the 6th floor, which required climbing multiple flights of stairs beyond the reach of the elevator. Despite a bellboy escorting us, we had to carry our own luggage, which was exhausting. We are relatively young and fit, yet we still struggled—so I can’t imagine how difficult this would be for older guests or those with mobility issues. We had originally booked for five nights but left after just one, as the conditions were unacceptable. The safety deposit box in our room didn’t work, and even after calling an engineer three times, it remained broken. The air conditioning was ancient, unbearably loud, and completely ineffective. Worse still, it leaked water all over the room throughout the night, soaking our clothes and shoes. When I reported this issue, I was casually told that the unit couldn’t be set below 24°C or it would leak—an absolutely ridiculous excuse for such a basic amenity failing. To make matters worse, the shower tray kept overflowing with water, leaving the bathroom constantly flooded. This hotel claims to be four-star, but in reality, it’s barely worthy of two. The breakfast was revolting—food was left uncovered, flies swarmed everywhere, and it looked completely inedible. I refused to eat it because I wouldn’t even feed that standard of food to an animal. Not once did any member of staff offer an apology for the endless issues we faced. At checkout, the manager finally showed up, only to be rude and dismissive, insisting that we should have informed him personally. We had already complained three times to different staff members—why was it our responsibility to hunt him down? It’s his team’s job to escalate issues, and his attitude was shockingly unprofessional. If you’re looking for a holiday where you feel comfortable, safe, and valued as a guest, avoid this place at all costs. It’s filthy, poorly maintained, and the staff couldn’t care less about customer service. This was easily one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had.
