Find hotels in Phrayanakorn Cave and Leam Sara Beach

We went to the Beach Village Resort and stayed 3 nights. After our stay, we both agreed that we would have loved to stay at least a week, maybe more. At first, we were welcomed by the staff with bottles of water and were guided to our bedroom suite. The suite was lovely with a lot of space for two persons. From our roof top we could enjoy an amazing sunset with drinks from the bar. The pool just outside our apartment was also excellent. Even though, there is a range of restaurants at the beach near by the resort, we ended up having dinner every night at the resort, since the food was excellent and the service as well. During the day, we went on different trips. The first day, we rented a scooter (Vespa) for 260 THB approx. at the resort and explored the national park nearby. The scenery and beaches were beautiful. The second day we went on a boad trip to the Monkey Island and the famous cave. With the last tour, the friendly Danish owner of the resort assisted with great advices of where to go, which proved very valuable. All in all a wonderful place, and I would definetely go back, and hopefully stay longer.

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.

This is a great hotel to stay at if you are looking for a relaxed and laid-back break. The hotel is set in a great location, just across from the beach. The layout of the hotel gives a relaxed and natural atmosphere. The swimming pool is clean and a good size with a Sala to sit under on hot days. The breakfast is of good quality and great coffee. The staff at the resort are friendly and very helpful, which adds to the relaxed atmosphere. The location is great, as just across from the beach, which can be enjoyed with the hotel providing sun chairs. The resort is very near to the national park for exploring the caves and viewpoints of the surrounding area.

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. :)
