For those who prioritize seclusion over convenience, The ShellSea Krabi provides an isolated paradise, perfect for unwinding. However, its distance from central Ao Nang and Krabi means frequent use of taxis or rental cars is necessary for visits to town or shopping trips with a commute of approximately 10 to 15 minutes by car.

However, several guests felt that the breakfast could be improved in terms of variety and freshness with some commenting that the food was occasionally cold and not up to the standard expected for a 5-star resort.
