Krabi 2016 (5D4N)
Happy 2016 to everyone!! This year will be a year full of uncertainties, transitions and new challenges! Also, I will be looking forward to the adventures and trips that are planned out ahead for 2016. For this post, I will be sharing my 5D4N experience that I embarked with my boy at the start of this new year.
This trip to Krabi involved minimal planning due to the easy of booking our budget flight with AirAsia and accommodation with Hotels.com and day tours with the trustworthy YourKrabi.com. We faced some hiccups in terms of hotel prices because of currency exchange displayed on hotels.com website. The currency was automatically set in USD, but after we customised it to SGD, prices were still in USD. As a result, we paid more than what we expected for our stay at Deevana Plaza Krabi since we chose the non refundable option and the staff could not d anything to refund us. Expensive lesson learnt!
Accommodation wise, I would highly recommend a hotel that is 'well-known' in the area, reason being it is easier for local transportation and when you ask for directions. Also, the day tours will fetch you straight from your hotel, which saves us a lot of hassle:)
Despite the price, both of us had no complains about our stay at Deevana Plaza.
Besides Holiday Inn Krabi, Deevana Plaza had one of the most grand entrance. Breakfast spread was really good and the poolside was nice to lounge at. Besides the facilities, the staff were also warm and hospitable. We were served with a welcome drink and greeted with an orientation of the room and facilities. Location wise, it was not located along the main street, as are the other more luxurious resorts. However, the main street and the beach is just within 10 mins of walking, with many resorts and restaurants along the way.
