Traveling to Thailand? Find Chanthaburi Province hotels

It was such a pleasant surprise to stumble across this superb hotel and restaurant in Chanthaburi. We were there for just one night in December, we will certainly be back again. A modern, spacious hotel with a nice pool. It's within walking distance to Robinson department store. The rooms are smart and modern with good quality bed linen. We chose the room with a jacuzzi on the balcony, and it was delightful to enjoy the bubbles in the warm evening air by candle light. The visit to the restaurant for our evening meal was a real surprise. The restaurant manager is charming and speaks excellent English. He really went out of his way to ensure that our every need was met. The Chef deserves special mention. The food that he prepared was absolutely superb. Without doubt, it was one of the best meals that I have enjoyed in the 16 years that I have been visiting Thailand. I rank the food as good as, if not better than, the top restaurants I have dined at in Bangkok and London. The fresh ingredients were cooked to perfection and presented as a work of art. Absolutely delicious food.

This resort is situated beachside in a quiet village near a popular scenic outlook in Chantaburri Province. About 200klms from Bangkok the resort is unique in that it is modeled on a Canadian village village. Including it's own bar and grill restaurant The rooms are spacious and clean and there are different options including direct pool access, jacuzzi and single storey or double story. The complex is approx 7 months old so in exceptional condition and the gardens are surprisingly established. The hotel has all amenities and there are a. Few small restaurants and a couple of bars along the street side selling fresh seafood and drinks. Otherwise it's a quiet location without the hassle of noise and the bar scene you see elsewhere. Don't go here if you are looking for a party scene. The staff were exceptionally polite and overall the stay was enjoyable. Highly recommended as something a bit different and relaxing.

We booked at Saint Tropez because of it's kid-friendly activities and were not disappointed. The rooms were decent, but liked there is a big pool and the hotel is right on the ocean. Most of the rooms are designed to face the ocean so you can see from your balcony. If you're coming on a long flight to Thailand I wouldn't recommend this area to stay since you'll spend unnecessary hours reaching the hotel. But if in Thailand and want a weekend/weekday getaway would recommend for sure.

The hotel is very quite and relaxing with the beautiful beach right in front of the hotel. If you want to have a relaxing get-away, this is the hotel for you. The hotel itself is pretty beautiful too; however, the room is quite small and not very clean. It would be better if they renovated the room. Anyway, we will likely return to this hotel if we come back to Chanthaburi.

My bestie and I are doing a backpacking trip here in Chanthaburi. We spent 2 nights at this hotel. It was fantastic! The hotel provided bolster for each of us as requested. Sadly, we just knew on our check-out day that you can actually choose the level of softness of the pillow (as I remember, there were 3 types of it). Moreover, the breakfast was nice (do not expect that it will be international buffet, only Thai dishes). Overall, it was a very nice hotel.

The positives: good location (anywhere in Chanthaburi you need a car anyway), quite area with a lot of green around, relatively new premises, modern, pool is nice. the not-so-positives: most rooms don't overlook the river (which is the best feature around), the breakfast is a joke, the hotel has no real flair. It seems someone had too much money and wanted to invest it quickly, so... let's build a hotel somewhere. It lacks atmosphere and soul, it's just rooms, a pool, a breakfast/dining room, that happen to be in a nice spot. It's not nice of me to write that, but just 1.5km away is a hotel (D V..) that has everything in a similar price range.

The taxi had a bit of trouble finding the Villas (~25km from Chanthaburi)but the staff had stayed up waiting for us at 11pm to make sure we were settled in properly. The following day the manager had trouble finding a van to show us the sights - so her husband and English speaking workman drove us around all day showing us the highlights - we had a ball. The villas were extremely nice - right on the beach front with fishermen, shell collectors and cockle collectors working in front of the breakfast area each morning. Dinner was at the neighbouring hotel - just next door. Breakfast consisted of "American" or Thai.

Pros. ✔ Neat & clean ✔ Friendly attentive staff ✔ Recent opened ✔ Quiet surrounding ✔ Reasonable pricing ✔ Spacious balcony for each room Cons. ▼ Quiet a distance from town need self-drive ▼ Small beds in twin basis ▼ Limited TV channels ▼ Basic amenities Wrap up: Pimdara is a friendly warm little new hotel in Chanthaburi,. Just adjacent to Rajabhaphat University. I would be loved to back again.

The Kasemsarn is located near the centre of Chanthaburi, very close to the river and a few minutes walk to the town market. The hotel is a modern Thai style hotel with some boutique styling, and the service was helpful and pleasant. Breakfast, a restaurant and a coffee shop are available at the hotel, though it is located only a 2 minute walk from the riverside where there are a number of restaurants, coffee shops and bars easily available. The gem market for which Chanthaburi is famous is about a 5-10 minute walk away. The room was a good size and well maintained and clean, though the bathroom was very small.

Great place in every aspect. Upon arrival we got upgraded to a bigger newer room due to some construction site noise that could have disturbed us in the cottage we had booked. It looked nice and clean, very cute, but we took the offered other quieter room other side of the yard. Room was brand new and the king size bed was the best we ever slept on! The stony yard looked nice and buildings were tasteful (unlike some in the area). We liked the breakfast which was served by the beach. Basic buffet with fresh fruit, toast yogurt and such, plus they cooked eggs and other warm dishes of your choice. They didn't have a restaurant in the evening, but we liked to try out different places anyway. Immsook was close to several restaurants, and especially the seafood at Chao Lao was great. Most people don't speak English there, but we managed just fine. Some of the staff members at the resort spoke good English which was helpful when we needed to get a taxi etc.

My wife and I enjoyed this hotel. We booked two days to get the feel of the area and extended another two days. It has a fabulous pool which we enjoyed. The staff were friendly and accommodating even though they had very limited English skills. Quite understandable since the area has mostly Thai tourists. No problems though. We did not eat at the restaurant but a British couple told us it.was.good. Breakfast was fine. Good variety. We had two different rooms, oven view and then the lower floor. We.were there over the New Year and the place was booked so.we had to move downstairs. Manager adjusted the rate for us. Both rooms were good. We had a positive stay at this hotel and would recommend it. The beach is not the greatest but the pool more than makes up for that. We ended up moving to a bungalow further down the strip but the stay at the hotel enabled us to have a stress free four days over the holiday while we explored the area. Would stay here again.

If you need to "get out of the city"; this is a very appropriate place. Quiet and very relaxing. But you really need to come with your own car as there is no nearby places to eat that are walking distance (nearest is a very nice old Thai style restaurant that is about 800 m walk). But the staff were really very kind and helpful (super excellent) as they were the the ones who drove us nightly near the Cathedral, which during the time of our stay, was having a food fair in celebration of Christmas. We suggested to the hotel that they should at least have an in-house tuktuk; like the hotels in Chiang Mai and other tourist-popular provinces. Chantaburi does not have much foreign tourists, ONE reason why we LIKE it!

I love and would like to come again. it is good for stay there if they get resturant or jaguzzi in side , will be the best. I like theire swimming pool . It is new and clean and good desire . they have pet in side and lovely dog. i think I will back gain for honeymoon after marry here. the breakfast is very big meal for me . i think I will back soon.it is best ideal to stay with nature and use life . I wish they give rent per month

we were very happy with staff service. overall, great hotel, newly renovated rooms, spacious (compared to bkk, which is expected since chanthaburi is a small town). lots of eateries/night market right outside the hotel and on the small lanes about 1 block away from the hotel - so you definitely won't go hungry at night. receptionist helped us to call cabs (as communication is a problem since the locals do not understand a word of english). bed was very hard (but some people may like it that way). room does not c/w safe, kettle, fridge.

The hotel and the course have been greatly improved - one on the best value golf retreats in Thailand if you are ok with the remoteness, and the manager's incompetence. The location means very little queues on the course. Unfortunately the Golf Course Manager has no idea how to run a golf course so be warned! He will gladly take your money for two full rounds of golf and not tell you that half the course is under repair all weekend. The next visit he neglected to tell us that there would be a tournament playing off both hole 1 and hole 9 so after paying for 18 holes you only get to play 9. Real shame since the golf is so good if you manage to play all 18 holes....

i enjoyed my stay at the kp grand, its one of the better hotels in chanthaburi. upon arriving there was a misunderstanding with my booking which they resolved immeadiatley.. the rooms are large and very good considering the area.. the staff always play a very important role in my oponion.. they all were amazing very helpful, polite and friendly.. they geninuely want to make your stay a happy one.. the lovely young ladies working in the beer garden were a pleasure to speak to really friendly, happy ladies who spent time talking to me.. i ate there a few times the food was excellent.. i liked the hotel and the beautiful people who work there.. they make an effort to make you enjoy your stay.. a smile goes a long way.. i am returning this june and will again stay at this hotel.. its great..

Overall the stay was ok but recommended not to go for new year. They charged us for a gala dinner without any notice at all and it wasn't possible tk cancel that. also needed to pay another 1000 thb for my 5 year old son if we wanted to go. When arriving there we the n found out it would be inappropriate show during the dinner for kids so didnt even join. But waisted 2000 thb without any notice of this extra charge during the booking. Once booked no possibility to cancel of course because we booked less than 14 days in advance....

The hotel / b&b is hidden on a little cove off busy beaches of Chantaburi. It's located on Ao Yang which was very peaceful and beautiful. Room was of good size and in new condition. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was adequate. Hairdryer was not provided in the room but you can ask from staff. It's a bit expensive for its basic facilities but the location and helpful staff made up for the price, I guess. Breakfast was pretty good. There were several local seafood restaurants nearby so you won't be starved :-) But if you fancy or can eat only European food or fast food, this is not a place for you as there are no such restaurants in close distance. Despite its relatively high price, we loved the place and plan to go back and enjoy the tranquility and relaxed surrounding again. PS - the many mosquitoes around that other reviewers mentioned were there !! so you'd better be prepared :-)
