It seems like Rayavadee has a an overall better loacation and great beaches, though they can get filled with tourists, but the rooms are a little dated and not so many kids activities. Like PB, it would also be tricky to get to Ao Nang if we wanted to go. For PB, it seems the resort, rooms and service is phenominal - truly memorable. It also has a kids club now. It doesnt have a great beach and is quite isolated though there are restaurants in other resorts near by. Ive thought about splitting between the two, but with a little one its a bit of a hassle and upsets the routine to truly relax. Has anyone been to both, got any tips on this one?
Thanks
Welcome to FT!

I've only been to PB and your comments are right on. The beach is pretty sad, but the grounds, the pool and the villas are phenomenal. The butler service is truly inspiring. Unlike any other RC in the world, and more like an Aman. In some ways, better than my Aman experiences in fact.

Which room did you book?

I'm not sure that switching would be that big of a deal with a child. How many nights total are you in Krabi?
