Hotel Khlong Khut di Tha Mai

This hotel was very good, nice room with balcony looking out to the sea, good staff and great breakfast buffet, alas, no bacon. Good food at the beach front restaurant. We stayed in one of the front buildings near the pool, modern and clean, most rooms have adjoining rooms with two doors, this can be a pain with kids in the next room opening and closing the door. Water pressure was not great. The beach area surrounding the resort was the biggest let down, in all my travels around Thailand's coastal areas, Chaolao Beach area was the trashiest and dirtiest beach I have seen. If your expecting pristine beaches with palm trees swaying in the breeze, you will be very disappointed. I would recommend this hotel for a short break, however, not for the beach.

We have regularly (annually except for Covid) made a point of spending a few nights here, and have never been disappointed. Beach-side accommodation for us, Breakfast is good selection of Thai from buffet, eggs fried to order. Generally out and about during the day Chanthaburi is not far if you have a car, but taxis are available -- contact reception. Restaurant open evenings for dining inside or outside by the beach. Evening relaxing listening to the sea, bottle of Singha, what's not to like. Also not many Farang, although the description applies to me, I prefer Thai company!

ที่พักดีมากค่ะ พนักงานต้อนรับถึงแม้ว่าจะไปค่ำแล้วก็ยังต้อนรับดีมาก ที่พักสะอาด ราคาดีมากๆ แต่ไม่ชอบห้องน้ำค่ะมันต้องลงบันไดลงไป ไม่มีไดรท์เป่าผม (แต่ส่วนตัวคือพกของตัวเองไปอยู่แล้วแต่ถ้ามีจะดีมากค่ะ) แต่ที่ชอบก็คือสามารถไปเล่นสระของที่พักอิ่มสุขได้ค่ะ อันนี้แฮปปี้มากๆค่ะ ไม่แบ่งชนชั้นการจองของโรงแรมดี มีโอกาสจะกลับไปพักอีกแน่นอนค่ะ 😊😊😊 บรรยากาศสวยทั้ง2ที่ค่ะ แอร์เย็น 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Situé à Chao Lao (et non à Chanthaburi), les chambres sont situées dans un jardin agréable. Pour aller à la plage, on traverse le jardin, un petit pont romantique et une minuscule route où ne passe personne. La plage est très tranquille, nature, longue et très sympa. Il n'y a pas de touristes et aucun étranger (je ne sais pas comment ç'est hors période covid, mais Chao Lao a l'air d'être fréquenté uniquement par les thaïs). Les chambres sont assez grandes et bien conçues. Le petit déjeuner est varié (nous avons apprécié les oeufs en forme de coeur, gentille attention pour le couple que nous étions). En résumé, un très bon séjour avec un personnel très gentil.

My wife and I stayed 3 nights from December 30th. Positives first, we had a pool access room which was great, the pool was very good and the resort generally good. Nice beach which they appear to clean which should be mandatory for all beach hotels, but so few actually do. The negatives are all food, beverage and service related. Breakfast generally was very poor, my omelette on the first day was cooked by a girl who was clearly being taught on the job, it was awful. On NY day we received a call in the room saying breakfast was extended from 9.30 until 10 am, we got there at 9.35 and both the Omelette station (yes i was prepared to try again) and Fried Egg stations were closed so we could not get either. I was offered 2 fried eggs both of which were stone cold. On our first night i bought their last bottle of a particularly good Red wine (THB2100) we wanted on NY Eve to go with a Steak we had seen on the menu. On NY Eve at 7.30 pm the wine came to the table to breath and we shortly afterwards tried to order, Starting with the Steak, this was sold out, we then tried to order 4 other items which would go with the wine, non of which they had. We ended up with a Chicken dish which neither paired well with the wine or tasted nice. Whilst there were some senior staff, many were no more than children, and whilst polite, they had no idea of service. Trying to order a vodka and Coke was a particularly interesting experience. No Gin and Tonic and only 2 Beers to choose from. I place no blame on the young staff, the blame is entirely aimed at the management and whoever is responsible for teaching them, or not in this case. Yes it was New Year and yes it was busy but that is no excuse whatsoever, this wasn't the first NY Eve the resort has had. To add insult to injury on checkout they charged me THB 120 for a glass they say was missing from the room. We never used the glasses the entire stay, so it was clearly missing to start with, i had no appetite to argue so just paid it and left. So many good hotel restaurants along this beach such as Taosong Beach, so will not be visiting here again.

獨棟別墅 房間可以抽煙 缺點離市中心遠

A little short on upkeep for this property. Stayed one night after the long drive from Bangkok. In the morning the entire front desk staff said we had a flat tire. They immediately called a repair shop and told us the fix would be 600 Baht!. The truck came immediately and returned with the repaired tire. Apparently this is an outrageous price and we got suspicious. We asked the staff nonchalantly if this happened often and some blurted out “yes”. We were scammed.

Management customer service was poor. As an example we booked six rooms for family, one room aircon was not working, Asked to change room ans was refused - this was on a very hot day. Only relented when stated we would cancel booking. There were other instances of negative responses. Suggest people think about an alternative until change of management.

Lovely hotel with a reasonable price, we stayed during Songkran (Thai new year) So it was quite full and the price was full. This is ok especially to support traveling business in Thailand which suffer from Covid 19. The Hotel is on the beach area, very nice and easy to go to many tourist place around... Not in the city of Chanthaburi though. We arrived a bit early before 2 PM. So we did check in and went for a lunch. When we backed at 2.30 our room was not finished, we waited about 30 mins... The internet was not working the whole time, none of our friends in 4 different rooms can access to the internet, we told the staff and nothing they can do.. The breakfast was horrible. The staff only chatting and not looking what are short to fill it up.... milk, bread etc.... our friends went at 9.40 am and there were nothing left at the breakfast... There are no supervisor to manage and to talk to the guests. We asked the room to be cleaned, and one of our friend room was not cleaned. Our room was near the artificial waterfall, so we had so many mosquito inside the room. Quality of the bed is OK. One of the good thing is the cafe by the beach which let us drink and corkage charge only 200 THB. I would not go back nor suggest anyone to go until they improve what I address.
