We as a couple traveled around Krabi and stayed at 5 different hotels totally. Aree Tara was sadly not a favourite. It was a pretty good room, big and clean. Nothing to complain over there. Good wifi. But the pool-area was extremly small and dirty. Noone cared about clean up all leaves or what so ever around the sunbeds. The staff was very unfriendly, didn't even looked up and say HI when you passed. That makes a lot sence, especially for us who didn't felt us welcome. We are really friendly persons, but here you just felt... outside. Anyhow, wouldn't come back.
