very nice staff! Even from the first phone call my partner made to this hotel everything and everyone was so gorgeous , friendly , specially reception and the guy who's in charge of water sports due to them, the pools, room and the amazing private beach I have to say it's one of the best hotels in Thailand. We loved the water sports and the pool OMG the temperature was amazing - the best we had in all of thailand . The room we got was amazing a wonderful tub and big clean wonderful room with view to the ocean. The only downside of this hotel is location (very far from everything else, not even 7/11 nearby and hotel restaurants not cheap) and I have to say also the breakfast was also a bit disappointing, not what I expected from 5* luxury hotel like that. But I can't complain I enjoyed my time there very much and I recommend this hotel for couples and who ever that want to relax and enjoy nice beach and pools.

They market themselves as a luxury hotel, but they clearly lack attention to detail. I experienced a frustrating 50-minute wait for the hotel shuttle at their Ao Nang sister hotel. The shuttle was supposed to arrive at 4:00 PM, but it never did. Despite the sister hotel calling them three times, they kept insisting the shuttle was on its way. Exhausted from waiting, we eventually called a Grab, only to find the shuttle parked right in front of the hotel when we arrived. When I complained to the front desk, they pretended to be unaware of the situation. Additionally, upon arrival, I informed them that I had two reservations and wanted to merge them to avoid switching rooms. They assured me there would be no problem, but when the first reservation expired, so did my room keys. I requested someone to come and resolve the issue, but they insisted I go to the lobby once again.

The staff were amazing especially Bee on reception she was outstanding, going out of her way for us to organise and help us, so friendly and beautiful, she is to be recommended and recognised for her service to the Seashells hotel. Also Rena was the travel organiser she was extremely helpful in organising days trips and taxis for us. She gave us lots of advice and was very competitive with her prices, we had an amazing boat trip to all the islands. We will be back for sure. The accommodation was beautiful, views amazing and all staff lovely. Great location, beautiful views, pool was amazing. Overall amazing place to stay.

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.

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.
