Right across the Soi from the beach, short cheap boat ride to Monkey Island, good food for reasonable prices, relaxed attitude and great for little kids. Nearby restaurants and massages on the beach are cheap and fair quality. Shallow water at the beach is good for kids to play, but not so great for real swimming. Beach had too much trash (seems to be everywhere in Thailand, not just here...I bring a grocery bag to fill every time I go, may not help, but cannot hurt and I can soothe my guilty conscience). Lots of small interesting shells on the beach. Resort is a ways from Hua Hin...800THB for a ride in the back of a pickup truck from train station...arrange through hotel for more comfort. We are in Thailand for 2 years, and will be visiting Dolphin Bay again. Not perfect, but great for the price and great for a 5 year old boy that loves to swim. I gave 5 stars for everything, though others may not consider it "superb" but rather quite good, but given the price, I think it warrants 5 across the board. I was going to give 4 stars for location due to being so far from transport...but that is a good thing as well, nice and quiet.

With the price we paid, we didn't expect a true first-class facility, so it was a very much pleasant surprise. The view from the room was good, but from the rooftop, we got a lovely sight of both sunrise and sunset. The beach in front of the hotel is pretty and peaceful, much to our delight, but we loved swimming in and enjoyed the sea view from the infinity pool on the top floor. The staff were very friendly and always showed eagerness to serve. Wonderful staff, indeed. Breakfast was good, but we didn't eat lunch or dinner there as our favourite seafood restaurant near the Sam Roi Yod national park is only a few kilometres away.

this was my second visit to the beach village and this time i decided to stay 2 weeks. was yet another great experience and upon my arrival some of the staff recognized me from my previous visit. this resort is perfect for those people who want to relax and unwind and is only 30 minutes away from hua hin. it truly is a beautiful resort with staff always willing to assist where possible. while i was there i was informed by the sales manager that they also that the beach village came in as second best residential development in the hua hin 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.

This place is clean and quiet with well kept grounds. A great pool, with an attached kid's pool. The staff were all very pleasant and the young man that seemed to be the head manager was especially friendly and helpful. He spoke English well and worked everything from the front desk, to the store, to the restaurant. He gave great advice for local sites and activities and made the calls to arrange our transport. He also put in a lot of extra work entertaining my 2 boys (4 and 6). They loved to follow him around. The breakfast menu was very limited but sufficient for our needs, and the dinners were delicious (lots of seafood). Only downside was that it might be little too quiet for some. There were mostly older couples there though other families arrived before we left. Some nights the restaurant closed as early as 7 pm. The resort is at the very end of the beachfront strip, so there wasn't much going on nearby at night. But the resort has a collection of bikes that are free to use. One afternoon my wife and I took the boys on a couple of 2-seaters and rode the length of the beachfront. We saw all the other resort/hotels along the way and ate at a restaurant practically on the beach. Sam Roi Yod is not a major tourist destination but it is the type of place my wife and I were looking for - simple, relaxed, and family-friendly. If we ever go back, we will probably stay at The Green Beach again. If nothing else, just to see the friendly/hard working/easygoing staff.

I spent 4 days there with my 70 years old parents and 2 boys (6 and 8). We felt at home immediately. We were happy to be far from the crowdy Hua Hin (45 minutes by car). The staff was welcoming, helpful, always smiling and calm. The small pool was surrounded by a beautiful garden full of flowers and birds. The rooms were nice and corresponded to what you can expect from a 3 star hotel. The doors and the wood furniture are very charming. We traveled around and went on a few very interesting expeditions in the Sam Roi Yot National Park, thanks to the owner who was highly sympathetic and helpful. We ate at the hotel every evening and tried almost everything on the menu. Everything was delicious and adapted to western mouths unused to spicy food. The beach was less than 5 minutes by walk from the hotel. The beauty of the Dolphin bay was worth the trip, especially at sunset. Don't expect to find clean white sand there but the landscape is so amazing that it really doesn't matter. We will go back for sure.

The staff made sure to bid our every request and the best part was that since my mother was suffering from slip disc they gave me a room right by the parking area so she didn't have to walk as much. So I might add that this resort is disability assistance friendly. The pool was huge and mean huge and its view towards the beach was mesmerizing. I went during a busy season so the studio room itself wasn't as good. It was clean but with old furnishings and beds that squeak. As I am a vegetarian they made breakfast up to my dietary restrictions which was perfect. The quality of breakfast and the restaurant ambiance could have been better. But for a quiet holiday with all the necessary amenities and under budget, this hotel is a good option. I enjoyed the bike rides, pool, view and the peace that surrounded it. I would book a villa next time I go there instead of the room. And I hope they upgrade the furniture by then.

Hotel facilities: -coming with large and nice pool with ocean view - nice lawn in front of the pool next to beach front, this is truely deliver relax feeling. - bicycle, kayaking is there, and hotel is next to the canal where this is originally fisherman village and surrounding by the hill, trust you didn’t kayaking or cycling or running without anything to see, here you do it in the local interactive. Location: - Privacy and stunning in overall. - Beach front, with canal on the side where it is a hundred of fishing boat going in/out during the day, trust it could be lively and could be noisy depend on how you look at it. Not the best for people with out private transportation, as there is nothing surround. - beach quality, not Recommend to who would like to swim in the ocean, this is not possible here, more into scenic or walking on the beach. Services: in general was ok, but do not expect 5 star standard.

We spend two nights with our little 1year old boy and we enjoyed the deserted beach and the nice swimming pool. Located at the end of the Samroiyod beach, you will need your own transportaton to get there and aroud. Exellent dinning is aroud 15-20 km north , by the more famous beach area. Located close to national park it's an ideal spot to discover amazing nature.

A wonderful choice, not only is this beach off the beaten track from Thai vacation spots, offering privacy and activities galore: the islands with monkeys, kayaking, bicycling to Sam Roi Yod national park, eating fresh delicious fish and crabs, super friendly people; BUT the hotel was the IT factor: providing us with great attentions, delicious breakfast, free kayaking, fresh swimming pool when "tired" of the calm beach (where by the way jellyfish were not a problem at all -and we were there for 4 days), super quiet, nice balcony. Everything was great! Thank you for the wonderful time provided! We will be back!

Our visit couldn't have been anything better. Khun Noi and her husband Mr. Soni took so much care of us that we didn't feel we are at a hotel. She is an excellent cook and prepared delicious and fresh Indian and Thai foods exactly as per our choice. My son became great friend with her daughter and we plan to go there again next month.Inspite of being high season with many customers she made sure that everybody is looked after well and with a smile. The location of the hotel is right in the middle and near to all facilities like ATM, convenience stores, restaurants, bars, cafe etc. The beach is quite clean in this part so one can enjoy swimming or just lazing around. The rooms are spacious and have all the required amenities. AC is excellent (which is usually one of the most irritating factors in many hotels) so you can have a good night's sleep. Bathrooms are also ok. We had been to this area several times but never experienced such warmth and hospitality so it is perhaps the best visit ever. Will highly recommend for all travelers both couples and with children and it is more than value for money.

Stella resort is the perfect and best place you may need and found nearby Sam Roi Yot, in the middle of the national park...as far you look for peaceful and fully comfortable place, you may found in these bungalows (particularly cleaned and absolutely well arranged) the best choice....and what about the owner and his wife ? So interesting persons, so close on all your needs, they have the sense of conviviality, absolutely nice owner ! He speaks Thai, French, English, German as far I know....he gave us recommendations about places to visit because he knows a lot in this region...another special thanks is about the bar his wife is holding nearby the hotel on the beach ( by the way you can rent for cheap a scooter to go on place or all around) ...the cocktails were perfect ! Probably the best bar open till 1.00am each night....you're hungry ? No problem, just on the left of the bar you will have an Indian restaurant, where you may found delicious food ! ....really appreciate your kindness Yann ( the owner) really interesting person you are, thanks also to your wife who's so smiling and cheerful person.....hope to come back as soon as possible !!!

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. :)

We absolutely loved staying at Beach Box. The couple that run it are the nicest people we have met in Thailand. They're so kind and helpful and they make your stay so enjoyable. They're so friendly and they treat you like one of the family. Nothing is too much for them. We can't thank them enough as they made our stay extra special and we didn't want to leave. We stayed in the most basic room, as all the others were fully booked, but it was very clean and comfortable. We had a lovely view over the mountains and beautiful gardens which was an added bonus. They have a lovely large salt water swimming pool for guests to use as well as free kayaks and bikes. We used the bikes to cycle the full length of the beautiful beach which is just across the road. The accommodation is a fantastic choice if you are visiting Khao Sam Roi Yod national park and Phraya Nakhon Cave. We are looking forward to staying at Beach Box again soon.

Owned by a very friendly, helpfull, caretaking and generous couple. Beautiful poolarea and garden. Very nice room. Close to beach, about 5 min walking, with a few shops and restaurants. I felt like a princess during our stay and if we go back to Thailand, this is the place we will go back to. If we hadnt allready booked our next hotell in Hua Hin we would have stayed longer, for example when we asked for help getting à taxi to Hua Hin, the owner thought that the taxi charge was to expensive and drove us him self for half the cost. Good food.

i would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who is heading towards sam roi yod. i would recommend this hotel to anyone planning on going to pranburi as well. this hotel is located in the quieter area and is not touristy in the least. it is super clean and cute and the rooms are quite nice and bright. the staff is really friendly. this in my opinion is the best hotel out of the lot in the area. don't forget to rent a scooter and explore the nearby national park area. it is absolutely gorgeous!!!!

Really lovely place in a gorgeous quiet location. Stepping into the pool from your room is fabulous. Short walk to beach and restaurants. Great big rooms, extremely clean and different colours and themes. This place is modern and the staff are friendly. Only slight downfall is the breakfast, no real choice , same everyday and the bacon, ham and sausages were cold. Not a deal breaker tho'. Sam Roi Yot is an amazing beach with stunning unexpected views of little islands. Do yourself a favour and come here as it is slightly off the beaten track but well worth the visit!

ในห้องมีสิ่งอำนวยความสะดวกทุกอย่างจริงๆ ทั้งโซนห้องครัว ที่มีตู้เย็น อ่างล้างจาน เตาไฟฟ้า กระทะ หม้อ จาน ชาม ช้อนส้อม แก้วน้ำ เรียกได้ว่าไม่ต้องเตรียมอะไรก็สามารถทำอาหารเองได้ หรือจะเป็นในโซนห้องนั่งเล่นที่มีทีวีที่สามารถดูได้ทุกช่องเคเบิล และยังมีเครื่องเสียงคุณภาพสูง ถัดมาเป็นห้องน้ำที่กว้างมาก ในห้องน้ำมีทุกอย่างทั้งฝักบัว อ่างล้างหน้า และตู้เสื้อผ้าที่มีผ้าขนหนูให้ 3 ผืน ถัดจากห้องน้ำจะเป็นห้องนอนเตียงคิงส์ไซส์ พร้อมหมอนและผ้าห่มที่นอนสบายมากๆ และโซนสุดท้ายคือโซนระเบียงที่ค่อนข้างกว้างพอสมควร ถ้าหากเบื่อกินข้าวในห้อง ก็สามารถเปลี่ยนบรรยากาศมาที่ระเบียง เพราะนอกจากจะเห็นระเบียงรอบๆคอนโดแล้ว ยังเห็นวิวริมทะเลที่ดีแบบดีมากๆ นอกจากความสะดวกสบายในห้องแล้ว ทางคอนโดยังมีบริการอีกหลายอย่างไม่ว่าจะเป็น สระว่ายน้ำ(เด็ก+ผู้ใหญ่) ฟิตเนส สนุกเกอร์ จักรยานให้เช่าฟรี(อันนี้ชอบมากๆเพราะได้ปั่นจักรยานริมทะเลยามเย็นที่ฟินสุดๆ)

we stayed on a friday and sturday night and the resort next door had incredibly loud and awful music blaring unitl about 11pm but this was literally the only downside. this happens fairly often on weekends and holidays apparently but not in the week. the rest of our stay was absolutely perfect. the rooms were large and clean, breakfast was great, staff were very friendly and the location with the bar/restaurant overlooking the sea couldn't really be bettered. this is probably the best value-for-money resort on dolphin bay. if you really want a pool or anything you can just walk 50m up the road and use dolphin bay resort facilities too.

Hotel is accross the road right in the front of the beach. Hotel area is clean and has a beaytiful garden. Rooms are clean with enough space even in the bathroom. Nice and quiet area with little traffic. There are bicycles available in the resort. Staff was friendly but only some of them are speaking english. Especially nice person is the Manager. He even took us to a trip to the border market of Burma and arranged a taxy to Bangkok. Best wishes to him! Hotel is not far from the Sam Roi Yod National Park. You can reach it by motobike or boat.

Three houses in a beautiful setting: On one side the sheer mountains, on the other side swampy marshes that you can walk across on wooden walkways. Inside the compound: beautiful gardens and a large pond in which you can row across. Facilities for your personal use: a golf buggy, bicycles, dinghies. Watch the sun rise over the mountains and set over the marshes. An excellent place to relax and a base for exploring the nearby Three-Hundred Mountain Peaks (Khao Sam Roi Yod) National Park. You do need your own transportation though, and you need to order meals other than breakfast in advance. No nearby food shops. Nearest town is 20 minutes drive.

excellent , no complaints except that we weren't staying longer. have never done self catering in thailand before except camping and this had to be the best introduction .we all loved it ,our 2 young children, my wifev and I and the mum in law, we realised this would be the easiest review we've ever had to submit on agoda, then wev thought wee should really write terrible things about it so others won't find it . we'd hate to find it booked next year because we raved about it too much
