Beautiful location. Lovely pools. Our room was right off the adult pool, so nice. The buffet breakfast was delicious. We enjoyed how quiet it was. If you wanted to go to Ao Nang beach they had a shuttle. Very helpful staff. Highly recommend a stay here.

A real gem, peaceful, quiet and tranquil after a number of weeks travelling. The resort is set back from other areas, so there is limited local restaurants, however Godle is very close and very good. Other amenities and shops are over 30minutes walk. The hotel has bikes, my only feedback whilst free they do need servicing and ensuring that they are in good roadworthy condition. Thank you, we had a great stay. Good breakfast and lively staff at the breakfast service.

We had an amazing stay at The Shellsea in Krabi! The resort was absolutely beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly helpful and resourceful, making our experience even more enjoyable. One of the highlights was the pool bar—the staff there was so sweet and friendly, making it a great place to relax and unwind. We also loved how convenient it was to just walk down to the beach, making it easy to enjoy the stunning surroundings. The pools were always at a comfortable temperature, which made swimming even more enjoyable. Another standout aspect was the laundry service, which was incredibly fast—we were so grateful for that convenience. A special shoutout to the concierge team, especially the young lady who helped us book a private long-tail boat tour of the islands on short notice. It was such a memorable experience, and we truly appreciated how seamless she made the process. Overall, The Chelsea exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend this resort for anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing, and well-run place to stay in Krabi!

The property is very nice but there are hardly any dining options. It's a very limited menu in the one restaurant they have and the same is available for room service. For a property that is 20 minutes away from the main tourist area, there really should be more food available. There are also no restaurants nearby. One other small issue was that the kids club restroom has no soap which is very strange.

Unfulfilled potential
The ShellSea has incredible views and an opportunity to be superb but is generally underwhelming in all aspects. Nothing is especially bad but for the price point it feels like a check box 5 star exercise rather than one of quality. Spend a few pennies more and experience a drastic uplift at places such as Rayavadee, Phulay Bay, Dusit Thani, etc.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
