The right choice at Blu Monkey Pooltara Krabi starts with how much space and separation you need, not with assumptions about bed layouts or maximum occupancy. The hotel currently lists seven named room and villa categories. Its official pages give useful details about size, balconies, living areas and some pool features, but they do not publish every booking detail for every category.
Use this guide to narrow the field, then confirm bedding, maximum guests, pool access and pet arrangements with the hotel before you reserve.
Start with the space you need
For a compact stay, the published options are the 25 sq.m. Chimpanzee Loft, the 28 sq.m. Chimpanzee Pod and the 36 sq.m. Chimpanzee Garden.
- Chimpanzee Loft: The English room page describes a 25 sq.m. loft-style room with a balcony. The Thai version adds that the lower level is a living area and the mezzanine is the sleeping area, with a balcony looking towards the canal. Choose it if that split-level layout matters to your stay.
- Chimpanzee Pod: This 28 sq.m. option is in the Deluxe Building and has a private balcony surrounded by tropical garden, with some mountain views described by the hotel.
- Chimpanzee Garden: The hotel lists this as a 36 sq.m. room with a large balcony.
The official pages do not state the maximum guest count or bed configuration for these three categories. If you are travelling with a child, need separate beds or have a specific bedding preference, ask before booking rather than relying on the room name or photographs.
Consider a living area for a longer stay or a shared trip
The Chimpanzee Deluxe Family is the category with a clearly published occupancy figure. It is 67 sq.m., with one bedroom, one bathroom, one living room and a private balcony. The hotel states that it accommodates up to four guests.
That makes it the clearest published option for a party of four. The page does not specify the bedding arrangement, so it is still important to confirm how the four guests will sleep before you make a reservation.
The one-bedroom Gorilla Villa is a larger layout at 94 sq.m. The English page describes one bedroom, one bathroom, one living room and a balcony. It is a useful option to consider if a separate living room is more important than a second bedroom. However, the hotel does not publish a maximum guest count or bedding configuration for this villa.
Choose a two-bedroom layout when separate bedrooms are the priority
Blu Monkey Pooltara Krabi lists two two-bedroom villa categories:
- Orangutan Villa Two Bedrooms: The English page lists two bedrooms, two bathrooms, one living room and a balcony. It describes the villa as 110 sq.m.
- Orangutan Pool Villa Two Bedrooms: The English page lists two bedrooms, two bathrooms, one living room, a balcony and a private swimming pool. It describes the villa as 130 sq.m. and says the pool is next to the bedroom area.
For both options, the two-bedroom layout, two bathrooms and living room are the most useful confirmed reasons to shortlist them. The official English pages do not publish maximum occupancy or bedding configuration, so neither should be treated as a guaranteed fit for a particular number of adults and children until the hotel confirms it.
There is one important detail to check. The current Thai page for Orangutan Villa Two Bedrooms describes it as 130 sq.m., while the English page says 110 sq.m. The Thai page also describes the Orangutan Pool Villa Two Bedrooms as 130 sq.m. This inconsistency is exactly the kind of detail worth confirming with the hotel before comparing price or selecting a villa based on floor area.
Understand the private-pool details before booking
A private pool is explicitly stated on the English page for Orangutan Pool Villa Two Bedrooms. The hotel describes it as a 130 sq.m. pool villa and says the private swimming pool is right next to the bedroom area. The displayed pool measurement is incomplete, so do not rely on the website for a pool dimension.
The Gorilla Villa needs a direct confirmation if private-pool access is decisive. Its English page says the villa is close to the natural pool. Its current Thai page says it has a private swimming pool. Since the two official language versions do not match, ask the hotel to confirm the pool arrangement for the exact villa you are booking.
The English pages for Chimpanzee Pod, Chimpanzee Loft, Chimpanzee Garden, Chimpanzee Deluxe Family and Orangutan Villa Two Bedrooms do not state that they have a private pool. That does not establish what shared facilities are available to each room type, so confirm any pool expectations in advance.
Travelling with a pet? Confirm the category, not just the resort policy
Blu Monkey Pooltara Krabi presents itself as pet-friendly and asks guests to provide their pet’s breed and weight when booking. Its published guidance asks owners to keep pets on a leash in public areas, manage noise and clean up after them. The hotel also describes its gardens as spaces pets may enjoy with supervision and a leash.
The pet guide refers generally to airy loft-style rooms, but it does not name every eligible room or villa category. For that reason, do not assume that a particular room, villa or pool arrangement is pet eligible. Share your pet’s breed, weight and travel dates with the hotel, then ask for written confirmation of the available category and any conditions that apply.
A quick way to narrow your shortlist
Use the published information as a first filter:
- Start with Chimpanzee Pod, Loft or Garden if a smaller room with a balcony suits your plans.
- Look at Chimpanzee Deluxe Family if you need the one category explicitly stated to sleep up to four guests.
- Shortlist Gorilla Villa if you want one bedroom plus a living room, but verify the pool arrangement and maximum occupancy.
- Compare the Orangutan two-bedroom villas if separate bedrooms and two bathrooms are essential. Choose the Pool Villa only after confirming the private-pool details for your dates.
Once you have a room in mind, use the hotel’s rooms and villas page to review the latest category pages and contact the property with the details that are not published. If your Krabi plans include a paddle through the mangroves, the Ao Thalane Nature Guide can help you plan that part of the stay as well.
Before you book, ask these questions
- What is the exact bed configuration for this category?
- What is the maximum occupancy for my mix of adults and children?
- Is the selected villa’s pool private, and what are its current access arrangements?
- Is this exact category available for my pet’s breed and weight, and what conditions apply?
- Does the listed size and layout on the booking page match the room being offered?
These checks are especially worthwhile for the villa categories, where the official English and Thai pages currently differ on some size and pool details. A short confirmation before payment will give you a more reliable match than room names alone.
