Thomas from Thailand said: "The staff in this Hotel were excellent,
very helpful and friendly. The inclusive Breakfast was also very good as
was the location."
By Jennifer from Malaysia: "Ordinary from the outside, the Vogue Pranang Bay
Spa & Resort Krabi is impressive. There's always a special touch to the deco.
The inner tropical garden was beautifully placed.
They even sent us an apology letter for some air-con work going on in the next
rooms although it really didn't bother us as the work was usually done during
the day.
There was a great variety for breakfast, simple yet enough. We stayed there
for 3 nights and each morning they had a different menu for breakfast.
There's also a convenient store in front of the hotel which
had reasonable prices."
