Convenient location and nice resort”

Our stay in the Red Ginger Chic Resort obviously met our expectations. We were hoping for a cosy modern place with possibilities to eat out and visit the various places of interest. And although taking all sorts of taxis (including tuk-tuks) is possible, you can easily walk to discover the dining places (we actually never had dinner in the resort). Our trips starting from Ao Nang included an elephant tour (highly recommended), a swim at Railay Beach, an afternoon with longtail boat to Poda Island and Tup Island (great for snorkeling), as well as a whole day Phi Phi islands (Bamboo Island, Hin Klarng, Monkey Beach, Phi Phi Don (lunch), Pi Leh Bay, Viking Cave, Lohsamah Bay and the famous Maya Bay). Good food is extremely cheap there (try the curry's) as well as transport and the numerous massage places (250 baht or 5 euro for 1 hour). The weather during our stay was a bit too cloudy at first but we did not have any dull moment. Most places and also the resort have a happy hour/time to try their cocktails. Ao Nang (we did not go to Krabi) is in general very touristic but the nearby and known beaches (Railay, Poda, Maya...) are certainly worth visiting. It has all the tourist facilities and we are happy to have visited the place.

RED GINGER CHIC”

Myself my husband and our 16 year old daughter stayed for 3 nights in Red Ginger Chic we had a wonderful time and i would definitely recommend. Our room was beautiful and our balcony even had a swing!. The hotel was spotless. The staff could not have been nicer nothing was a problem from when we checked in until when we left. Breakfast buffet everyday was really good and every day they had something new to try. The hotel is close to all amenities a beach is 5 minutes walk away and a taxi to the heart of Ao Nang and a longer beach is only 100 Baht though you can walk there as well..most certainly a great location close to everything. The hotel room included coffee and tea making facilities complimentary water and even beach mats and umbrellas (which we definitely didn't need!) The pool was lovely as was the pool bar which had happy hour twice a day. If i was returning to this area i would definitely stay in Red Ginger Chic it ticks all the boxes whilst being very reasonably priced.

Great boutique hotel”

We stayed at the red ginger chic resort for 8 nights with our 1 yr old toddler. We were very pleased with our stay. The location is great , short walk to ao nang beach and in a quiet location. We had 2 small supermarkets , a pharmacy and an atm just at the entrance.Thr hotel was fully booked and Our room was not very well cleaned on the first day.After we checked with the front desk ,the staff made it very tidy for the rest of our stay. We also ordered inn a couple of times after a long day at the beach the food was great. The pool bar is really nice too. I strongly recommend this hotel specially with babies or toddlers.

The best hotel I have stayed at in Krabi”

We are regular visitors to Krabi and often stay around the lower side of Ao Nang. This was our first time at the Red Ginger and we are already talking about coming back. We were very pleased to receive an upgrade to a club room but either way we were also very content with our superior room. The staff were very welcoming and accomodating to all of our needs. We stayed for nine nights and were very impressed with the breakfasts. they were never the same once in the time we stayed there! The hotel is very quiet and it's biggest drawcard is the pool. It was very clean and a perfect temperature. We are very much looking forward to visiting the Red Ginger again very soon!

Everything we wanted and more!”

Our stay at the Red Ginger Chic Resort was perfect from start to finish of our stay. The staff were polite and attentive, courteous at breakfast and efficient in cleaning our room. Check-out was so smooth we didn't realise we'd finished until the receptionist told us we were all checked out! The breakfast was a highlight, served in the restaurant overlooking the pool and encompassing a wide variety of quality food, juices and coffee. The pool was clean and of a good size - you could actually get some decent exercise... if the lure of the pool bar wasn't so strong! The room was perfectly suited (although it would have been wonderful to have a pool-side one!), with a huge bed and decent TV, along with an outside seating area. The ensuite bathroom was clean and the shower had good pressure and heat. Also provided with the room was a handy beach basket with a beach mat, and towels could be borrowed from the poolside. The only let down was the internet coverage, which whilst good when connected, was inconsistent at times. All in all, I would recommend and happily book again!

Hotel name realy describes the resort”

Arrived at Red Ginger in pouring rain greeted by polite efficient check in upgraded to pool accesss room which was beautifull.Staff from check in to check out were realy friendly and efficient.Ao Nang center 10 min walk to great selection shops and rests with excellent food at reasonable prices 15 to 20 pounds per couple inc drinks.Walk to far end of ao nang center for the best beach.tuc tuc to anywhere in resort is 20bht per pax anazing value.Tiger massage at end of road excellent.would definatly recomend this hotel and will reeturn.

Nice hotel, quiet, walking distance to two beaches”

Stayed at the Red Ginger Hotel for 3 nights and had a lovely stay. The hotel is 10 minutes walk to Ao Nang beach - the walk to the beach leads you past lots of shops, cafes and restaurants. Nopparat Thara Beach is 5-6 minutes walk. There is a local supermarket next door and their prices are much cheaper than elsewhere. I went during low season, so the hotel was very quiet. First day the breakfast was served in my room, the last 2 days there must have been more guests as it was then a buffet breakfast in the restaurant. Lots of choice for breakfast. The staff are incredibly helpful. Taking the airport shuttle bus takes about 40 minutes to get to the hotel. You can book tours through the hotel, but if you're walking to the beach there are plenty of cheaper tour operators around. I recommend the Phi Phi Island tour, simply stunning. Wireless is available in the lobby, if you want it in your room you have to pay extra (not an issue for me). I'd recommend this hotel to family and friends.

This hotel spoilt the rest of our trip in SE Asia ”

The reason we said it spoilt our trip, is that no hotel in the price range lived up to the standards set by the Red Ginger anywhere in SE Asia. The breakfast choice was good (fresh fruits, Juices, Egg/Omlette station, toast / pastries / pancakes /cereals). The meals in the evenings and at lunch were top class! You don't need to leave the hotel when you have food options like this. The rooms were spacious, the shower was spacious, clean and lovely water pressure and temperature. The TV was good and housekeeping maintained a high standard daily. The staff were very helpful on many occasions. The location was just enough out the way to get a peaceful nights sleep and yet only a 5 min walk to Ao Nang beach and the shops. The only criticism would be the poor Wifi speeds and there is no night life there if that's what you are looking for. Cocktails aren't great either so don't bother with happy hour unless you are drinking beer. With that said, we were so impressed with this hotel, we booked another 2 nights and we would DEFINITELY stay again.

Very Modern Hotel in Quiet Area”

This hotel had great reviews, so that's why I chose it. I would corroborate those reviews. It's a very modern hotel with a very chic atmosphere as its name suggests. The staff were always very friendly and helpful. They always knew my room number when I would collect my key. The hotel and the area it's in is very quiet, so a good night's sleep was had every night. The pool is very nice when you don't feel like going to the beach. Internet in the room will cost 200 Baht for the duration of your stay, but there is free wi-fi at the pool and lobby areas. Breakfast was good and the lunch and dinner items are good, as well. The only aspect in which I was a little disappointed is that you have to walk a bit to get to central Ao Nang beach area. The hotel is advertised as being central, but it's more central to the long road that runs along the coast. It's not so central to the main Ao Nang beach area where all the restaurants and bars are. It will take 5-20+ minutes to walk anywhere, depending on where you are going. This may not be a big deal for some people. Overall, it's a great hotel and I would stay again.

THE BEST HOSPITALITY!”

This is the best hotel in Krabi! The price is really affordable.. Its near to ao nang beach and one more beach. You just can walk for about 10mins from Ao nang beach. Nearby restaurant. And the first thing i cant forget is their welcome drink! I really love the taste of red ginger , its really refreshing and pretty good! I will stay here if i come to Krabi again!

2nd stay since year 2010, and it's still the same”

This is my 2nd stay with Red Ginger Chic Resort since the Year 2010, and the appearance still remained the same, no changes. The good: Cleanliness inside the room, good location, helpful staffs, providing beach mats and umbrellas, value for money. The hotel is registered with the GREEN hotel, they did provide the hair and body shampoo in the bathroom, the hotel did not provide the toiletries such as the toothbrush and toothpaste. During my stay, there's a lot of mosquitoes. So far I enjoyed my stay with my family.

Friendly staff, Clean and Spacious Room”

Despite they closed their swimming pool for maintenace during our stay, no power supply from Krabi Electricity, my wife and 3 children still like Red Ginger! I left my iPhone 4S in the room when i was out for excursion, the phone still there after house keeping clean up the rooms. They have very friendly and honest staff. Never fail to greet us beautiful smiles. Located in quite place but still walking distance to busy shopping Ao Nang streets and beach. for improvement, hope they upgrade their traditional TV to LCD soon.

Affordable, comfortable and located in Aonang.”

My friend and I were on a vacation in Krabi from 21 Mar to 25 Mar 2015. We were staying 5D4N at Red Ginger Chic Resort. We were moved from Room to Room . They were both non pool facing rooms but the reason why we wanted to move away from Room 204 was because it is facing a construction site. It was a pity we booked the room via Agoda and was not allow to choose a pool view. There was no option to book a pool access room too. Thus, I would recommend guest who has plan to book this hotel to do it through their directwebsite. The pool access rooms look perfect! I realize that it was cheaper if I had book the hotel much earlier via Agoda. We booked the room a month prior the departure Despite so, I would still consider this price rather reasonable for 4 nights. I also recommend guest to book earlier in case there are no available rooms because they do have limited rooms. The hotel could be reach via a taxi from the airport which takes approximately 30 minutes @ 600THB/car/trip. The tickets for taxi is available via a counter at the airport. Taxi rates are fixed and indicated on the board. Room are superior room. Room has a king size bed where Room has 2 super single beds. The room are furnished in oriental style and is reasonably clean. Complimentary water bottles are provided but they're kept in glass so you won't be able to bring the bottles out. Hot water was good and constant. Aircon cold enough. Wifi provided altho signals aren't very strong but I've bought a unlimited data plan from the airport at 199THB for 7 days. Location at Aonang so it was convenient. I love the pool in the hotel premises. There's a bar in the pool and pool access room is great as you would also have your own enclosed area of the pool. Breakfast spread altho do not change much over the days but it was decently good. Hotel staffs are helpful and polite.

Great hotel - fantastic service”

I stayed at the luxe and charming Red Ginger for 2 nights, then added an additional 2 nights because I loved it so much. It is situated on a street with several other resorts, just off the main Ao Nang "drag" so nice and quiet - but still close enough to access the many restaurants and bargain tourist shops, as well as being walking distance to Hat Napparat beach, and the jetty with the cool longtail boats that take you to all the nearby islands. Food was good here (excellent breakfast), but the service is second to none. I enjoyed the in-room DVD channel for evening movies, and the guest service staff was great, too. They arranged a great cooking class for me - do it!

Clean Hotel, Fast Check in, Value for Money”

We enjoyed our 3 nights stay in Red Ginger Chic Resort. We requested for earlier check-in and the room is ready when we have arrive the hotel around 12:00pm. The hotel located around 5 mins walking distance to the Ao Nang market & beach. we will come back again for our next visit to Krabi.

A Clean, neat and well furnished boutique hotel”

It was a pleasant stay, though staffs were not fluent in English, but they will try to help you out as much as they can. Just be patient and nice, you will be rewarded. Rooms were pleasant and well furnished. You can find proper amenities from hair dryers, bath robes to beach mats. Cleaning staffs were also attentive to make sure your rooms are clean and restocked with complimentary drinking water. Hotel is in the outskirts of the bustling area, it makes it quieter and more enjoyable for rest. It's also a stone-throw away from Noppharat Thara beach. Not the most enjoyable by day, but the most jaw opening when the sun sets. The only downside I would say is that the hotel does not provide scooter rentals, but you can still easily rent one just a short walk away from the rows of tour booths. Ao Nang isn't as big as Phuket, so it's still easily walk-able from one end to the other. Red Ginger is a pretty great place to stay at, especially if you also like the oriental theme.

Very chic!”

We really enjoyed our stay at Red Ginger. It has a very nice sassy feel to it. The room was large and comfortable, and the hotel is s a short walk from Ao Nang Beach, shopping, and dining. My only minor criticism of the hotel is that little things were missing. For instance, there were no hooks to hang up wet towels and there wasn't a trashcan near the vanity. Overall these are minor, and we really enjoyed the hotel and would highly recomm

Oriental theme is nice!”

Firstly, check in was quite slow. We stayed in the club room (402, 404) which are facing the construction site. Its sad not to get pool view/access rooms but it was all ok since we're out a lot in the afternoon and th construction didn't bother us at all (but woke us up for our morning flight)! The room was great and spacious, we really love it! However, the cleanliness of the room could be improved further as its not up to our standard. We managed to adapt to it. The housekeeping gives great service as they will refresh the toiletries and towels everyday, but as we are very conservative, we would change it only when we really need it. The resort also provide beach and pool towels (its located at the end of the pool near to the gym), we didn't know that until they saw us bringing our room towels out for our activities. The front desk would try to help you in any way. Not all of them could speak English but we're glad they tried. The ones who liase with us are the two guys, they provide great service! The location of the hotel is quite far off the bars/restaurants/shopping. However, that didnt matter to us as we rented a scooter (for only 200THB/day) at Buri Tara Resort during our time there. (Note: You have to hand one passport to the hotel and don't worry, you'll get it back.) The pool timings as mentioned by other reviews are bad. They close at 7pm & its too early for us! Th pool bar closes at 5pm and thats too early too. We tried the food at th pool bar and it was quite good. We just hope they would change the pool timings. Also, they have breakfast buffet @ 250THB per person. The buffet was fine with a lot of choices provided. The downside is that, their airport transfer is at 300THB per person but we didnt use it since we could get cheaper from the airport. We would surely return to Red Ginger Chic Resort especially for their welcome drink. The next time we hope to get the pool view. Room Tip: The clubroom was good. The pool view would have been better.

Not too bad a stay in Ao Nang ”

Our stay was quite a pleasant one. Prior to booking, I left a note indicating for hotel transfers and early check in. However, I did not receive any reply nor arrangements for me even up till the day I arrived. I agree with the other patrons of the hotel, the front desk staff indeed need to brush up on their hospitality. No doubt, they helped us with the various bookings and fulfilled our requests, they looked pretty unwilling, and in fact looked unhappy at times. As for the club suite, no regrets! It is indeed one of the better suite in Krabi, 2 levels of space looking out to the pool and the cliff, nothing to complain about. I read online about breakfast being delivered to your suite upon request, but i tried requesting, to no avail. Sadly, else it would be nice dining in our balcony. The bed was a little too hard for our comfort, but bearable after a long day out. The HBO channel that was screened was unfortunately wonky, my guess is due to the poor reception, which made us skip TV altogether. Thank god for iPads these days. I love the swimming pool, really chic and relaxing to unwind after a day out touring. Though, one suggestion would be to provide sunscreen/tanning oils, something other hotels do provide! Afterall, what guests would like is to retire to the hotels after a tiring day out. I think Red Ginger Chic will be the one for you if you would like a quieter location, yet not missing out on the views and modern facilities! Just note that it takes about 10-15 minutes walk to be out on the main street, nothing too troublesome though.

Chic Little Boutique Hotel”

Lovely stay at Red Ginger. Great location, just 5 min to the main shopping n eating area in Aonang but situated in a quiet lane away from all the hustle n bustle. Spa n massage is just at the hotel beside red ginger and there is a pharmacy n convenience store a few steps away. Super friendly n attentive staff from front desk to Housekeeping. Tried the room service n had lunch n dinner at the restaurant. Great food at reasonable price. Stayed in the Club Room, big n comfy, however the floor and the cabinets are a bit dusty. The only complain we have is the non-smoking policy. We are not aware that it is a non-smoking room until we checked into the hotel. There is no mention of this on agoda website n had even requested for a smoking oom. Smokers have to stand at the front of the hotel or a mini garden at the life landing to smoke. Felt they should have alllowed guests to smoke in the balcony in the room. All in all, a great stay at Red Ginger.
