Find hotels in Sam Phraya Beach

This place is partially an owner/occupant run complex where some of the units are privately owned and rented out as hotel rooms. This is not a bad thing, but one should be aware of this arrangement. The place is quite large, but each enclave of rooms gives you the feeling of a more intimate space, with a separate pool for each of 6-8 units. Beach Village Resort is NOT next to the beach, and it is a bit of a walk to the beach itself but we never minded this, and renting mopeds made it very easy and enjoyable to not only access the beach but the very beautiful Sam Roi Yod area itself. Better restaurant options away from the resort- especially Chomtalay Seafood..we ate there three times in four days and we had amazingly delicious seafood every time!!

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.

A very enjoyable stay at this hotel. Although I’d describe this as resort accommodation. I have been visiting Thailand 31 years, now residing for 19 years. Travelled extensively throughout Thailand and this is by far the best resort we’ve stayed. Some may consider rooms small but I would say that they are normal size. More important, they were comfortable and clean. TV had a large range of channels and the best quality picture I’ve seen at any Thai Hotel. The swimming pool is a good size and looked very clean. The restaurant is at the front of the property with lovely sea views. Food was excellent with a lot of choices. Great service by lovely smiling staff. If you’re planning a trip to Sam Roi Yot this is the place to stay. We will be returning soon.

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. :)
