An excellent value for money hotel on Cha-am beach”

long time (10 years) staying at least annually in cha-am. first time at the tara mantra resort. booked 2 rooms in b section which were above expectation for the price in chaam. in comparison with similar resorts on cha-am beach the actual rooms were better maintained, bigger, better cable options, free wi-fi that actually works in the room and with beach views. another positive is the resort was disability friendly, which is not too often the case. also undercover secured parking was excellent. as expected the restaurants were good and staff of good quality and close access to the beach. only dissappintment were the size of the pools in comparison with other resorts. as main attraction is swimming and access to beach not a huge problem. an excellent choice for families with younger and older children to stay in cha-am.

Great place to relax”

i like cha am because it is more relaxed than other tourist destinations in thailand. it is lacking really good restaurants but there are many decent ditos around. the hotel restaurant at tara mantra is great with decent prices and a special touch on the food. it is great that you can just cross the street and use some of the hotels own sun beds on the beach. overall a great hotel in my opinion

Great location next to the beach”

Stayed over a Saturday on a weekend retreat in Cha-am. Nice hote, good location next to the beach at the north end of Cha-am. Staff was very service minded and always offering to help. Ample parking under the building. Rooms are a good size, nice quality finishes and fixtures although there is better for slightly more money. Could use a little more cleaning outside on the patio but I would imagine it's hard to keep the birds away. The resort has 3 pools and all of them are very nice, 1.5m deep. Food quality is good for the price. All in all, a quality experience and appreciate the very helpful staff.

Well kept hotel on the beach”

this was our second stay at tara mantra. last time was great, this time only ok due to the extensive celebration of songkran. a large stage was set up next to the hotel and it was impossible to sleep before midnight. we actually checked out one day in advance without getting any refund. too bad we were not informed about this when checking in on our 6 day stay. it is a nice hotel just next to the beach. it has three nice pools for the people that don´t want to use the hotels sun beds on the beach. the breakfast is great and the restaurant serves nice pastas and thai food with a western touch. note to tara mantra: time to switch out the tv sets! cha am is a great alternative to hua hin. i actually like it more when travelling with children.

Very good hotel in beachfront”

This is our second visit to this hotel. This time we stayed my wife and me, with our daughter and my mother-in-law. We booked two rooms, one double, and one with two singles. The hotel enjoys a great location in the Cha-am beachside. The double room was big enough with a nice but a little tired bathroom, well equipped and mantained, and spotless. While in our first visit wifi worked well, this time, it did not work at all, we had to move to the common areas. Hotel has three pools each in a different floor, what I feel very convenient. The main floor pool has a bar. Fitness is scarcely equipped, some cardio, and some weight. Breakfast had good variety, more in the thai side than in the western side. We did not try the restaurant, as there are a lot of eateries around the hotel, where you can enjoy different kind of foods (italian, nordic, etc and of course thai). I would recommend seafood and fish in this area. We got a good price in Agoda, and for that price, what you get is very good, but the hotel is usually more expensive.

Everything You Need In A Hotel. ”

The hotel is everything you need, the rooms could do with updating but they are still nice & clean. I did get a room that I could smell damp but was moved straight away. It did cost us to upgrade to a room with a shower cubicle which I thought was unexpected as most 4/5 star hotels have shower cubicle these days. Cost us £100. The staff are very friendly & food is good & not expensive. The only big problem is cha-am. It's very very quite. , we didn't mind as we don't like hustle bustle. The hotel has 3 pools all are infinity. If you want a quite holiday this is the place.

Well-kept hotel with nice pools and great food”

Tara mantra is a nice hotel, the main feauture are the three big pools that more than well make up for the poor beaches in Cha-Am. The room was spacious and clean, however nothing over the ordinary. Compared with other hotels in Cha-am I've stayed in, Tara mantra keeps a better maintenance so everything is fresh. The restaurant has a wide European selection and very good (thin) pizzas.

Lovely hotel with great services and breakfast”

great location for cha-am area. but, if you want to be in hua hin, you have to drive about 30 mins. the hotel has a great breakfast with plenty of food. nice swimming pool!

Nice swimming pool, street food nearby”

It was great!! We have our privacy and comfort at the same time we feel secure and very relaxing during our stay. We really enjoy staying at Tara Mantra Cha-am

Lovely Hotel close to the beach”

Hotel is quite new. Everything clean and well organized. Restaurant at poolside very good and not that expensive. The beach is on the other side of the main beach road. Location (north of cha am) is relatively quiet in comparison to the center of Cha Am (beachfront). Only downturn for me was the small and poor equiped Gym. Except from this perfect stay!

Nice hotel with smilling and efficient service”

very nice hotel with three swimming pool. the last one is suitable for young kids. moreover this one is close to the restaurant so we can oder foods. hotel is in front the sea so we can choose between swimming pool and sea. cha-am is good place to ovoid overcrowned tourist area. it is a true thai seaside resort. but less close attractions and shopping center.

Exceptional”

We had a wonderful 10-day family stay at the Tara Mantra in the off-season period of August. The staff is always helpfull and smiling. The three swimming pools and the spa are nice. Very nice breakfast. Very relaxing hotel. While on the beach, the location (Cha'am) is a bit out of the way and Hua Hin is 30 km away, but there are not so many foreign tourists. The staff was helpfull in helping booking rides or taxi though. A great "Thank you" to Mrs Ta.

Nice hotel and good location”

The hotel is value for money, near Cha-am beachfront with 3 medium size swimming pools. The double-bed in deluxe room is quite bigger than regular king size. All staff are very friendly. The breakfast is also good.

Peaceful but nice service and great hotel”

During last years tried a lot of hotel in Cha-am, probably one of the best. Close to the beach, have few swimming pool and gorgeous breakfast. Rooms are nice, nothing to complain

Very relaxing exceptional hotel”

The hotel has wonderful rooms, very comfortable with three exceptional pools that cascade down to street level, we made a few request of the hotel regarding celebrating a birthday, and the friendly management and staff made sure everything was done perfectly. The restaurants from breakfast to dinner we're delightful with delicious choices for Thai and western visitors. The hotel is perfectly located across the road from the beach we got up and experienced a beautiful morning sunrise and walk on the beach before breakfast. Many thanks to the Tara mantra staff for a very happy stay and we can't wait to come back. lissa and frank

Nice, clean, good facility ”

However......it is in Cha am..... which is pretty much a pensionado place for fat Germans and healthy scandinavians. In the weekend Thai families come to celebrate life. Little further down the road is a café/ restaurant OZONE. Every evening life music, great place, pretty serving people. Recommended !!

Great Hotel - Location, Room, Service”

hotel is located at cha-am beach front. great location. there are two convenient stores just in front of hotel. room is quite large and clean. there's 3 small but nice smimming pools. quite, suitable for relaxing. staff was nice. only one thing i didn't like is wireless internet-it's not complimentary like other hotels.. (this was charged at100 baht per 70 mins).

Great hotel, clean rooms, excellent swimming pools”

We stayed there for a long weekend. We really liked the hotel, it was our 3rd time in Cha-am and from now on we plan on staying in this hotel. We really liked it.

A Little Disappointed”

I have stayed at the Tara Mantra about 12 times in the last few years and have always found it to be excellent. My only insignificant complaint during the last 6 years was that they had two copies of the " Nation" newspaper rather than one copy of the Nation and one copy of the Bangkok Post which I prefer. The staff have always been and remain excellent from the front desk ladies to the bell men and the room maids. However during my last 2 visits I have noticed a deterioration in the breakfast service. Breakfast is supposedly served from 0600 hrs. but the staff are never ready. I changed my breakfast time to 0630 hrs. and the staff are almost ready. However, the ladies and even the men are sometimes too busy preening their hair in the mirror to pour a cup of coffee for only one guest in the room. When few people are in the hotel the buffet is reduced in volume, which of course is ok ,but unfortunately reduced in variety, which is disappointing

Good place ,service and facility”

Location is good close to cha-am beach and a lot of shop nearby. Good service from hotel.
