Speechless - that's how I felt when I entered Phulay Bay Ritz-Carlton (the resort known for being featured in Hangover Part 2). It offers a stunning natural sanctuary and an array of five-star resort accommodations. I unequivocally endorse and recommend this place to anyone, particularly those who are looking to escape (the pandemic) and experience one of those "wow, I will never forget that time," and those who are considering visiting Krabi for their next vacation. Amazing view + resort.
Why this place? From start to finish, the staff focused on two things (definitely more but this is what I remember): service and attention-to-detail. My significant other and I felt extremely welcomed and thus we were able to take advantage of all the accommodations (e.g., snorkeling, private boat trip, spa, yoga, pool, etc). The food here is fantastic as well - try their calamari, coconut juice, and crab curry. Oh, one random note: I told the General Manager that I just got out of the 14-day quarantine in Bangkok. Subsequently, that evening, I received a bottle of prosecco and a "certificate of freedom." It was a total surprise and again, one of those "I will never forget" experience. Thanks, Sabai!
In all, I highly recommend this place, and I can't wait to come back!
