Find hotels in Laem Sala Beach

We stayed here for 2 nights and it was lovely and quiet. Down a quiet soi, close to the beach. We walked to the beach-front in about 7 mins, but the Beach Village has bikes to rent for free, or you can rent a scooter for 250THB a day. Walking around the area, I was glad we chose this hotel. Breakfast wasn't a huge variety but was satisfying with real coffee. We ate both evening meals here after the 'buy one, get one free' cocktail hour between 5-6pm. Service was slow, but there was only one person serving, and one in the kitchen, both working very hard. Appetisers and mains came out together (grrr..) and as the appetisers seemed to be waiting for the main course, they were cold when served. We stayed in the superior one bedroom suite which was large, nicely decorated with great sized fridge and tea/cofee facilities (no kitchenette as adverstised on Agoda, unless they class a fridge and a kettle as a kitchenette)Even better if: they provided pool towels in the room and a safe. The pool area was right outside your door and each pool has around 8 suites around it. Only two sun loungers are provided though (with some plastic chairs) so if all suites were full, some arguments could ensue. Yes there is a roof terrace, but it's bare! Disappointing. We would definitely stay here again for a bit of relaxation in an unspoilt area.

The hotel has a first class receptionist in the person of Diap, a 23 year old charming girl with afequate English to run the reception, bar and restaurant. The grounds are perfectly maintained and situated against a long empty beach which allows for romantic sundowning behind the mountain range on the West side. The bedroom was large and decorated with great taste. The large bed came supplied with a superb mattress and plenty pillows. In short a hotel to return to. One point to explain is to finding the place. The easiest access is to branch off Soi 25 coming from the Samroyiod beach and to follow the road for a few k. till the beach. The hotel is a few hundrd meters South on the beach which has a hard enough surface to allow for wheeled traffic.

Loved that Terra Selisa is smaller hotel, as prefer quiet atmosphere. Greeted by very warm colors of outside of hotel, beautiful aesthetics, outdoor decor/plants, beautifully carved tables in dining area. Great how they had many books. Each room has own porch with sitting area-very nice. Comfortable place to be. Pool glistens with blue. Rated food 4 because only ate once-only there for short time & had snacks with me that wanted to finish from earlier in trip. Felt could not rate dining experience appropriately. Staff did come to my room to make sure I had eaten before they closed kitchen in evening-very thoughtful. Room clean, cute, just fine for me-hot shower, refrigerator, complimentary waters. Ocean view from hotel/beach very pretty-many options for local outings that hotel can help you arrange. Ocean water not as clear as expected-unsure why. Should have asked-maybe due to season. Jellyfish washed up on beach in morning so make sure you have safe sandals/water shoes while walking/swimming. Owner rode to Hua Hin train station with me and made sure I got ticket for right train. So appreciative of her doing this. Had mishap first night due to train coming in late at night, and my own fault. Would recommend arriving in daylight hours to make checkin time. Have Terra Selisa pick you up at PranBuri if you take the train from Bangkok. Or, Hua Hin is a larger station if you feel more comfortable. Liked that hotel was more rural. Went for peacefulness, activities, park, wetlands, caves, beach/ocean. This is not place for shopping but there were people selling lovely items by beach. Store is close by, places to buy necessities, snacks, and restaurants if interested in venturing out. Monkey Bar next door. Communicate with staff for your needs and help. All very friendly-more than willing to help you! Learn conversational Thai so can speak with those that may not speak English-this will make experience richer. I will always remember friendliness of people in Thailand.

If you are looking into a good place to stay in Sam Roi Yot, I suggest skipping the hotels by the sea. This is the perfect place to stay if you want to see the best of area. It is simple and basic. There is nothing pretentious about it. It is very peaceful, and unlike other "homestays", this place will actually make you feel at home. It is owned by a family who will not treat you like a guest but rather, a part of their family. By far, they are one of the nicest people I've met, and they really take the guest's needs in consideration. The food is home cooked and great. The rooms are very clean. The lack of AC isn't a problem as the air is fresh and cool enough to be comfortable. The location is a bit remote, and it might seem difficult to access specially if you are commuting. It is located within a small village by the side of the mountain. I took the van from Bangkok Pinklao Terminal, and some van companies, like Crocodile, can drop you off at the homestay. If you get in touch with the owners, they'd be happy to help. If you ever go, make sure to take the boat trip around the swamp. It is a place that's often overlooked by many and thus, you will find yourself alone amidst the untouched beauty of the surrounding nature. It definitely is very relaxing. I highly recommend this place specially for anyone who is keen on taking a break from the hustle and bustle of the cities and towns. I'm definitely going to come back. :)
