Baan Talay Dao

My experience with Baan Talay Dao was excellent. The location, right on the beach, is awesome. My room was comfortable, hotel staff were great, and they have a very nice pool. The best part was the delicious breakfast buffet. See the photos!

A small, intimate resort located a few kilometres south of the bustle of Hua-Hin, Baan Talay Dao offers a nice simple recluse with excellent service, a superb garden, and a simple - but well-tuned - restaurant which offers a sensible and authentic option of both Western and local cuisine throughout the day and evening. Our "villa" was well-designed, kept immaculately clean, and had the advantage of ceiling ventilation in addition to AC (which basic rooms don't offer). The 15m long, 1.5m deep pool was well-cleaned, and included a small children's option in addition, which was popular at weekends when families tended to arrive for 1-2 day visits. The tides in the area mean that no immediate beach is available until mid-afternoon. (The hotel provides a shuttle to another beach, which I didn't make use of). The sea along this stretch can be dramatically active - thrilling to watch at times, but not ideal for those who want beach access throughout the day. Outside the hotel, there is a a great selection of local supermarkets and eateries - ranging from the simplest street food, to excellent fish/seafood restaurants which are yet cheap and informal. A cheap public taxi option runs on a quarter-hour tact both north to town and south, as required. To the north, local markets and shopping malls are but minutes away! For a quiet getaway, 5 stars!

Prachtig hotel in authentieke stijl in een prachtige tuin. Wij waren hier op doorreis voor twee nachten. Het personeel is supervriendelijk en zeer zorgzaam en behulpzaam. Wij hadden een gezellige knusse studio. Alles was aanwezig zelfs slippers, strandtas, paraplu ‘s en een heerlijk kingsize bed. Heerlijk zachte matras, knusse bank, droogrek, tuinset. Mooie badkamer, theeset op een knus bureautje compleet met schrijfstet. In de omgeving is van alles te doen: strand, klooster op een prachtige berg. Avondmarkt op loopafstand 4 avonden per week. Veel te winkelen. National park en River Kwai bezocht. Gelegen direct aan het strand. De Thaise bevolking gaat hier zelf ook met vakantie. Prachtig treinstation waarvandaan wij de nachttrein naar het zuiden namen. Ook op het treinstation ondervonden wij een en al behulpzame medewerkers. Wij gaan zeker nog eens terug.
