Hotel comfort and aesthetics are great. Enjoyed the hotel spa as well! Hotel is away from the center hype area, so if you are looking for some peace and quiet you can consider this hotel. Hotel also provides free shuttle (on a schedule) to ao nang downtown.

We stayed in a pool villa and really enjoyed our time at the Shellsea. Mark who drove the shuttle, was terrific and friendly. The resort is beautiful. Great place to stay in Krabi, however our only complain is there was nothing to do in the evenings. It lacked atmosphere, so the only option for us was to go to town at night. The Shellsea is a bit far from town and their shuttle’s last pick up was at 6pm. We ended up finding a great restaurant with better prices near the beach in Ao Nang that had a fire show in the evenings and live music. Bummer we had to leave the resort to find some evening entertaining.

Amazing resort in a quite place with a private beach and two swimming pools. Rooms were clean and modern and the staff was lovely.

The resort is very pretty, very clean, very comfortable. But it is in the middle of nowhere. If you have a car, this will not be an issue. We were only there three nights, and had never needed a car anywhere else in Thailand. You can’t get anywhere without one. They’ll call you a cab, and it will cost 2-4x what Grab costs you to get back to the hotel. They have a shuttle to take you to Ap Nang and Ao Nang ONLY, and it has very limited predetermined departure and return times. The hotel food is, unfortunately, not great aside from breakfast. There’s a place called God-Le restaurant just down the street that is idyllic and delicious. The beach at the resort is mucky and unusable at low tide. If they provided a better shuttle service, this would be a much better hotel. If it was closer to…anything…it would be a better hotel. If you’re just looking to sit by the pool and not see Thailand, or if you have a rental, it’s great.

The hotel itself is beautiful but it’s really far from everything and the restaurant in the hotel is very expensive and is only ok. The shuttle only goes in and out three times a day. The staff are very nice. If the restaurant was really good, or about a third of the price, and I wanted a very quiet holiday I would stay there again.

Beautiful hotel - very comfortable room - wonderful service

During our stay, the staffs were absolute stars! They are extremely kind and friendly, and they do everything they can to help you :) The hotel, room and the pool were all really lovely like paradise, very clean and modern as well :) The location is a bit remote from everything so if you're someone who wants to go out all the time, you might need some extra money for taxi trips. But if you want to chill and relax, this is an absolute gem! Would defo stay there again and highly recommend to anyone :)

A really nice resort. The staff were friendly and happy to assist with all tours and excursions. We liked the private beach and the adults only pool is a good option. The free shuttles to Au Nang and Krabi were a pleasant surprise and are frequent enough for flexibility. There is also a free shuttle to the grocery store just 3 minutes drive. Highly recommended.

Almost everything was perfect. But restaurant food was not worth for price.However, breakfast buffet was good enough.

Everything about this place is excellent, both the rooms, the pools, the beach and above all, the very welcoming staff. Highly recommended!

Amazing hotel and staff! All facilities are new and it is a great value for money. All the staff that helped us organise our day to day activities were great - we booked a number of island tours through the hotel and every day was organised very smoothly with pick up from the hotel and for a good price. The spa is also wonderful, offering some great massages. I would 100% stay again. Thank you all for making our trip so excellent!

Very clean, transportation to town not frequent. Also would be great if they add more sea food into menu.

this was a really special hotel, with great attention to detail.very calm, relaxing, up-market and chic

ocean view room was amazing. good sport facilities. we made good use of the shuttle service into ao nang but one improvement would be to have greater capacity for this shuttle service. Food options in hotel wasn’t great (but found an amazing thai restaurant 5 mins walk which we went to for lunch 4 out of 5 days)

The area is so quiet.Staff is friendly The room is extraordinarily clean.I’m giving them 5 stars +

Very beautiful and nice property with modern amenities. Staff is very warm, helpful and courteous. Nice and clean private beach. Definitely recommended

Loved this property. A bit on the expensive side, but the bedrooms are worth it. The spa is overrated. I wasn’t pleased with my massage at all and I paid US prices for it. I’m still in pain because the therapist didn’t address the kinks and knots in my body. Also, the international breakfast I ordered for room service wasn’t good at all.

Excellent location for retreat. Great services from hotel staff.

Really pretty resort and the buffet breakfast is excellent. However, the dinner doesn't taste good and too expensive, there is not other choice near resort. We need to go town for meal

We stayed in 8 different hotels on our trip throughout Thailand and this was by far the most expensive and most disappointing g. The hotel was a very nice hotel, but for the price and location I would not stay here again. This hotel was 2.5X more expensive than the hotel we stayed at in Ao Nang beach, so I was expecting a whole lot more luxury and service. It is out of the touristy area and not easily accessible to anything local in Ao Nang. Save your money and book someplace else.

We hadn’t booked to stay in the shell sea and went to another hotel that was rated 4.5 star (beyond resort krabi) that clearly wasn’t. We switched hotels and got the pool side room in the shell sea. It cost a little more but tbh was well worth it. The hotel was perfect, great service, the rooms were modern and clean with excellent WiFi which is rare in these parts whilst the staff were so attentive and helpful. If we’d stayed in our previous hotel for the 4 nights then it would have ruined part of our trip but the shell sea was excellent. We’d definitely stay here again and would definitely recommend it.

Great location. Modern, nice and clean rooms. Great pool area with a great view and easy beach access.

The staff are super nice!! Great view~ Relax and chill

Shell Sea is a beautiful new resort away from the bustling crowds. The beach is private and clean. The staff was terrific. So why the "but?" The food was a big disappointment. You expect it to be pricey at an expensive resort, but that quality should match. It wasn't. We ended up buying food at a Thai restaurant in Ao Nang and asking the hotel to heat it up for us in the morning for breakfast. Although the breakfast buffet had lots of choices, the unripe fruit wasn't replenished when they ran out. Also, the internet can be improved so you don't have to log in every time you turn on your computer.

It was such a pleasure to stay at the ShellSea. It was a great place to spend the end of our trip where we can be away from the hustle and bustle of the city and simply relax. The hotel had great decor, modern and very clean. The two pools had great views of the Andaman Sea and were peaceful and relaxing (especially the hammock which had the best view of it all). I also had the opportunity to enjoy the Spa on location, which was also great. And I also have to make a special mention to the customer service here at the ShellSea because it was exceptional. Everyone we encountered was so helpful, friendly and . efficient. This hotel has a great selection of activities on location that can keep you active and busy. The gym on location is small, but has pretty much everything that you need to get a good workout in during your stay (if that is something that appeals to you). Some things to take note: - There is beach access but the beach has a lot of shells that you would have to walk on so it is not one I would recommend sunbathing in. It is fun to walk on if you would like to see a lot of different crabs :-) - You are pretty far from town (long walk/short drive), but they do have a shuttle service that you can reserve which takes you to and from the hotel.If you want a place to escape from it all and just simply relax, this is a great hotel to do so.
