Charly the manager shared excellent recommendations about where to go for close by massage, food shopping, elephant riding & tailor when asked.
we plan to return one day.
The ceiling fan in the room was a nice to have & the air con worked well.
need to bring your own shampoo & conditioner.
bed was a bit hard, like most beds in Thailand.
a bit tricky to get from the shower, past the loo, to dry yourself off.

We absolutely loved Papacrab from the moment we arrived. The ambiance is super chic, yet cozy and welcoming. It simply feels good walking into it, every single time.
It was my 3rd time in Phuket and 2nd time at Kamala beach area. Papacrab is the best ever accomandation I have had. Not that we haven't been to a luxurious resort. Papacrab is an all-rounder, it has the location, yet quite and peaceful. It is chic, elegant, yet with character. We simply loved it. Highly highly recommend. If you are looking for a place to stay at Kamala beach, no need to look further, this is the best one.

What an amazing little guesthouse! The owner was above and beyond helpful, even helping to set up a dental appointment for me when I broke a tooth while on a scuba liveaboard prior to my stay at the property. Everything about the room was wonderful - I can’t think of anything that needs changing. Highly recommend!

very nice and modern place - you feel like an oasis when walking in. The interior is very well chosen and very nicely designed. The bed was very comfy and large enough to fit 2 Adults and one toddler.
The owner and his wife are very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place!
everything was great!

We really enjoyed staying here! This was a perfect spot in Kamala Beach! if you choose this beach as your location you will not regret booking this property. We absolutely loved being able to walk out the door of the beautiful hotel and have a wealth of choice in cafés restaurants shops massages, tailors, and supermarkets near by. once you’ve been there a day you feel like a neighbor. Everyone was very very welcoming! We especially liked only having to walk five minutes to the beach. There is definitely a small town feel to this area. The property is beautifully decorated and you’ll feel very much at home. The rooms are small and cozy.
there was nothing to dislike about the property. If you are looking for a nice room in a very central location. Close to the beach and shops this is the is a great choice. There is no pool.

Charley is an exceptional host and runs a beautifully relaxing guesthouse. We had a very comfortable stay and Charley gave us some top recommendations as well as arranging our onward journey to Khao Sok for a great price.
Not only a great host he is also a great guy.

Location- 1 minute to the beach & 30 seconds to a variety of restaurants. There is no better location in Kamala than Papacrab. Off the street & free of noise you are guaranteed a good nights sleep in the secure compound. Rooms - well appointed with everything you need including a hot shower & kettle for that morning coffee. Internet- reliable fast internet is available. I experienced no issues during my extended stay. Staff - cleaning staff & management are top notch & dedicated to making your stay one you will not soon forget. Highly recommend.

We stayed our first three nights at PapaCrab. From the moment we got there Charly made us feel welcome. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the location is great! Next to the 7/11 so we’d spend our nights with a couple of beers outside our room. Charly went above and beyond when we left also as I’d left our towels and swimwear on the balcony and he dropped them off at our airport hotel in Phuket for us as we’d gone to Phi Phi in between! Would highly recommend
The only thing I would have liked is a hairdryer. I’d left ours at home to save space in our luggage expecting one, we managed fine without one but the other half wanted it for his beard.
4.6 / 5.0
The location was great! Close to beach and restaurants and guesthouse itself is set back from the beach road separated by the koi pond. It’s small , comfortable and welcoming guesthouse.
Charly and Koong are delightful hosts! You truly feel their warmth and sincerity.
Nothing to dislike.
