Find hotels near Baan Grood Beach in Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand

We enjoyed staying here for the wonderful swimming pools, great breakfast, frinedly staff and the grat beach across the street. We've stayed here a number of times so it's kind of like coming home. Baan Grood Beach is very relaxed and quiet, so if you're looking for nightlife, bright lights and music, I don't recommend here - go to Phuket instead. But if a great swimming pool, a lovely beach, excellent service and some great local food is what you want, this is a superb place to stay.

The best thing about this property is it's lovely staff. From the reception staff, to the cook, to the groundskeepers, each of them had smiles and warm greetings and went out of their way to be friendly and kind. We arrived at 2am because of outbound traffic in downtown Bangkok---the next morning we were too late for breakfast, as we slept in. The cook offered to open up the kitchen and set everything out just for us so that we could have breakfast. And all done with a smile and genuine kindness. We were traveling with my small dog, so we loved the pet-friendly villa--the outdoor shower and 'garden' type space were great for the pup to be able to just wander outside and be contained. The grounds are beautiful. You will need a car to stay here---which isn't a problem for us, as we live in Thailand and have our own car. The plus side is that this area is very little known to tourists--mostly geared towards Thais, so the beach area (outside of main holidays) is mostly private and clean.

The hotel rooms are basic, a single bedroom with a half open roofed toilet and shower bathroom tacked onto the back of the room. We loved the fact you could shower and look at the sky, tree tops etc above, reminded us of past holidays in Africa. The rooms were clean, bed comfortable, airconditioner fine, fridge and TV but didn't turn it on. Beach walks and bobbing around the pool with a pinacolada was far more inviting then watching TV. The breakfast was a choice of cornflakes, eggs (fried or scrambled), sausages and ham, toast and jam, fruit, tea, coffee, fruit juice, all in all fine. They have a nice selection of dishes on the menu for lunch and evening as well. We dined most nights up the beach a bit, at some lovely little restaurants and a couple of flash ones as well, in Baan Grood, where it is a little busier, catering for big bus tour groups and more people. This is about 3 - 4kms up the same beach the Rachavadee sits on. We would happily stay there again, don't expect 5 star, expect peace and tranquility in spades.

This was a nice surprise in Ban Krut! The hotel is new and clean and the room had a contemporary look. Great wifi and I could see the beach from my bed. (3rd floor rooms have the best view) Very nice, friendly (but not over-friendly) staff, and great location at the Beach Cross Roads. Also very quiet - my only niggle is that the walls must be very thin, I could hear everything from the next room. I also would prefer if guests weren't allowed to smoke on the balcony which spoiled an otherwise magical evening star watching for me. But in general, this is a nice new find in Ban Krut, and I loved my long walks along the very windy beaches. Will come back!

The staff are very friendly and the room comfortable enough, but I don't really like the design of the resort. There are a number of small swimming pools and I'd rather have one large pool. We were in a bungalow which had, I think, 5 other close bungalows in a semi circle around a small pool. There is no privacy on your balcony or in your room, without closing the curtains. There are also design problems inside the bungalows, for instance the bathroom mirror has been set so low on the wall that to see myself I had to bend over, and I'm not tall! By no means the worst experience, but I'd look elsewhere next time.

You are not going to find better accomodation in Ban Krut (or even all of Thailand). The host Boon is really lovely! She helped us with everything and looked after us like a mother. The bungalows are perfectly located near the beach and a beautiful pool area. They are also extemly clean and have a wonderful garden. We are definititely going to come back to visit you Boon! Thank you very much!

I arrived around 9pm after the Bangkok train was delayed by a couple of hours. I had to wait a while to check in as the guy on the front desk called for the one English speaker. I wasn't aware of what we were waiting for so it was a bit disconcerting. The room was clean and comfortable. The first night was noisy until about 11 or 12pm due to karaoke blaring out from a beach cafe. It was a weekend night, though. It was quiet the rest of my stay. The check-in area/restaurant was often occupied by what I later discovered was management, but they were reluctant to move and just shouted for the other staff. On check-out, I was told to pay and couldn't explain - due to language difficulties - that I had already paid when I booked online. Eventually, the man phoned the English speaker who seemed to think that I wanted to pay by credit card! After explaining and her checking, I was able to go. The man gave me a lift back to the station free of charge which I appreciated.

This is the second time we have stayed here and absolutely love it. We have been coming to Baan Grood for a few years now and stayed in a lot of hotels but this small hotel has the cleanest and most modern rooms of all as its been recently refurbished. It's location is perfect as its right on the beach and a 2 minute walk to seven eleven etc. The beach area at the front is nice, breakfast is good and the owners are very helpful. All in all we highly recommend it.

Stayed 2 weeks in one of the beautiful villas, surrounded by lawn and garden- excellent for the children to play in. Room was really beautiful too! Great location by the beach and walking distance to cafes and shops. Really good pool too, which had some space in the shadow too, great to cool down with the kids. Most of the time we were the only people there, so felt like a private pool. Pool was impeccably clean. Staff was friendly but lacking in English, which is common everywhere in Ban Krut, but that did not really pose a problem. Although one on the employees was fluent in English so we mostly communicated with her. For some reason hotel did not answer my e-mails beforehand, maybe because of the language barrier. Customers can freely use bicycles, which is a great activity in the village. Bikes are rusty and old but that even adds the charm :-) All in all, probably the most beautiful and paradise-like resort I have ever been to.

Stay was good. The rooms are Villas which are 2 bedroom houses. Good for a family with kids. Although the aircon really had problems, and in one room it was not working at all. Restaurant doesn't have many options for food. Breakfast too has low options and limited options. Overall this hotel was good, if you are thinking for having a nice alone time or for couples.

Is is not situated at Ban Krut beach as we thought. It is situated 2 kilometers north at another beach. That beach is perfect stay for people looking for quiet nice beach, with no other people. No restaurants or shops near by, so you have to rent bicycle, motor cycle or use tuktuk or taxi. Hotel staff is very friendly. Hotel is little bit older but clean. Perfect place at this price level.
