This is great place to visit if you’re interested in a Unique Archaeological Phenomenon. or historical artefacts and is claimed to be one of only three similar sites in the world – the others in the United States and Japan. Of these three, Thailand's Fossil Shell Beach is the only coastal site. This unique distinction makes it a must see for any and all fossil lovers. The resort offers 72 spacious rooms, 12 luxurious villas with private pool and a grand pool villa to provide you with the perfect accommodation for a luxurious romantic getaway or a family holiday. Facilities include an adult-only pool at our Mullet Pool, a family pool at our Manta Pool, an awe-inspiring ocean-view spa at Otium Spa, a spectacular beachfront Fin Bar, an all-day dining at Cerulean Restaurant and an open-air lounge bar by lush tropical gardens at Azure Bar.

Powered by AI
The ShellSea Krabi has garnered attention for its spacious rooms equipped with comfortable amenities, though opinions on cleanliness and maintenance vary. Guests frequently commend the hotel's cleanliness and serene setting, but some feel the atmosphere lacks vibrancy, and service can be hit-or-miss, with particular critique on coordination and shuttle service.
The tranquil location's appeal is offset for some by its distance from Ao Nang beach. Reviews often reflect concerns about the value, citing high costs for food and drinks not meeting expectations, despite the praise for friendly staff and beautiful views.

Detailed Reviews
The Seashell is a 5 star resort hotel located a few miles from the next village. Spacious reception, exceptional room and luxurious bathroom, large garden and 2 pools. Breakfast is excellent! The restaurant is good, but we found they take advantage of the remote location, as the prices for food and drinks are very high.
The beach looks great, however you cannot swim as the water is so shallow, you would have to wade out very far, so nobody was swimming in the sea.
Tip: we booked the Seashell last minute and could get it much cheaper than the original price quoted 2 months earlier.

I looked for a hotel off the most touristy area and selected The Shellsea based on the wonderful reviews. I travelled alone with my 12 year old daughter. First, let me conclude that we loved the hotel and everything about it. The rooms were spacious, clean and modern. All outside areas very well maintained and set in a beautiful location with it's own private beach. Superb to be able to borrow kayaks (and sups which we did not try). Staff was very very friendly and breakfast high quality and versatile. I had eggs off the eggstation with lots of fresh fruits every morning and my daughter enjoyed the bread and cheese selection. The free bus shuttle to Ao Nang was much appreciated and we used it on most days to go to the center for dinner. We used the family pool for hours every day and enjoyed it. The pool is spacious and water is clean. The gym was fairly small but not crowded so worked well.
Now having said that, what could still be improved; as in most five stars hotels the food at the hotel restaurants is very expensive. As you can get a great, good quality meal really affordably almost anywhere in Thailand it is a shame that hotels price themselves out like this. As there are really no places nearby (except God Le which I really can not recommend) we had most lunches at the hotel but dinners outside even if we would have preferred to stay back. And even if the food at the pool bar was good, 12 euros for a salad is tough. Even in Europe. Also, it would have been great to have some Thai food on the pool bar menu as well, not only European. The room AC was tuned to 25 degrees which was still quite hot and when turned down was quite noisy. Most of the staff spoke english well but some had issues, would be great to ensure that front desk staff are fluent in english.
Overall we loved out stay. If there would have been a couple decent local restaurants on walking distance and massage joint or two, it would have been perfect but nevertheless we loved it and wish to express our deepest gratitude to the staff for making our holiday memorable.

We choose here for our holiday because of the hotel is close to beach and luxury. Our room not far from beach and other facilities such as swimming pool, bar & restaurant just a few minutes walk. The hammock which set up a big tree near the pool is so popular to put your body there including me.
The rooms are large, bathroom was large enough
with Bathtub and Rain showers. Our rooms also had a small portico for two to sit comfortably. Restaurant server Thai and international cuisine, Indian vegetarian was an issue but staff was helpful and chef helped with some good vegetarian food.
Gym, beach itself, kayaking and two swimming pools(separate for family with children and couples without children) and enough Sun deck benches make this ideal even in peak season.
I definitely come back here again because of the property, staff and services.

Lovely hotel for the last few days of our thailand trip.
The staff are wonderful!
The hotel is only 2 years old so it is immaculate.
Beautiful pools.
It has a small boutiquey feel which we loved.
The hotel is a bit out of the way but they provide free transportation which was excellent.
The food and drink at the hotel is great but very expensive so we opted to eat out as there are great options in the area.
Try out Ko Lek restaurant it’s the nearest one and was delicious !!
The hotel offer day trips- do not go on the speedboat phi phi island trip. Way too overcrowded. Better options available outside of the hotel.
Overall lovely friendly quiet hotel would stay here again for sure.

Having read glowing reviews and expecting a 5 star hotel we were very disappointed indeed; having very extensive experience of hotels in Thailand.
On check in they could not find our reservation on their "system" despite booking direct. We were asked to pay when we already had done so and had received confirmation from them. Fortunately we had a hard copy of receipt of payment which they then photographed.
Our Garden Room was pleasant and reasonably well furnished but no desk/table and power point for laptop and to work at. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was well appointed with two wash basins. The very high sided bathtub lacked any form of grip/handle which made "getting up and out" of the bath difficult if not dangerous. The rooms were spotlessly clean.
Our first night we ate at the Fin Bar and Restaurant. We waited over one hour for our food to be served and then starters and main course came together. Staff were highly apologetic with different excuses - the computer, lack of staff, an outside event being held at the hotel. A platter of fruit was given as compensation. The walk back to the hotel block needed the light from our i-phones as pathway lighting past the pool was not working.
Buffet breakfast was a very big disappointment with regards to the range of foods available. This was more akin to 3 star. We also had each day to wait for food to be replenished.
All staff were very pleasant and polite in a beautiful, quiet location.

We checked into our room late in the evening, due to a last minute booking we booked a garden room as the hotel was running close to full capacity.
The garden room was well appointed, very clean, had a comfortable bed and I was delighted they had provided a fold out bed for my daughter rather than converting the couch which is what other Thai resorts frequently do.
The grounds of the hotel are lovely and reflect five star however……
After discussing it with my family we concluded the hotel is dull….. there is no atmosphere, no five star service, staff seem under qualified, overwhelmed, management are not visible. The food is mediocre at best (stick to the Thai offering as the international food is worse), the hotel offers two restaurant but the same basic menu and given the remoteness of the hotel you get pretty bored of the food quickly) (e.g there are three starters and three dessert options) despite being child friendly we were told no children’s menu.
The drinks menu is basic and staff couldn’t accomodate special requests, there is no happy hour which is often provided at other luxury resorts, the wine menu was very disappointing and often wines had sold out.
The hotel is remote which makes it tricky to get into town. As other reviewers have said the hotel bus isn’t frequent and gets booked up well in advance. One evening we were unable to get a taxi and everyone was disappointed at another night in the hotel with the same food and drink - not the best feeling when you’re on holiday..
The pool area is lovely but there is very little shade which encourages people to reserve beds which makes it difficult for others .
Would I stay here again….no….. would I recommend to friends and family ….no …..

We had an amazing time in ShellSea. The complex is in very good shape, the staff is extraordinarily kind and the most helpful I have ever seen. The breakfast is complete, you have everything you need from Asian to European taste. We do loved the adults only pool where we could enjoy the beautiful scenery without screaming kinds around. The hotel is a bit out of town but there are free shuttles and in 10 minutes you are in the middle of everything. We won’t hesitate to stay there again if we will be around.

Beautiful 5 star resort in beautiful surroundings
Located just outside Ao Nang and off the main road, the resort is peaceful and feels away from the hustle and bustle of the town. Check in was quick and friendly in a lovely reception area which also has a restaurant (breakfast is served here) and a gym on the ground floor.
A golf shuttle took us to our room which was right by the main pool which is fantastic for young children as it is shallow at the access area to the room (you can enter the pool from the room). There is also a smaller baby pool connected although we didn't use it as our kids loved the big pool too much.
The pool is connected to the Fin Bar and restaurant at one end so ordering food and drinks is a breeze.
The surrounding green landscape and views of the beach below and the Phi Phi Islands in the distance are stunning. The beach below is pristine, the resort offers free canoes to take a paddle tour.
The rooms are modern and feel very new, very comfortable beds and everything we could need including iron and ironing board, good coffee, good selection of TV channels, large bathroom and separate large rain shower.
I would definitely recommend staying here.
