Baan Talay Resort, Chaweng Beach
Rooms clean and the resort fronted the beach but that s about it from
a positive persepctive. The rooms were much like you d expect at a
caravan park - resort is an overstatement and photos on the website
very creative indeed. I specifically requested an additional bed but
on check in was told there would be an additional 800 baht per night
charge. Then when I said I would pay, I was told there were none available.
Probably the most frustrating check in of our lives. When we asked
to leave the next day we were told we had to pay 2500 baht to do so
despite them understanding our position. Only when we threatened to
call the tourist police did we get anything near a compromise on our
exit fee (we still had to pay - unfortunately they had a swipe of
our credit card otherwise we would have just walked out). I would
never go here again and strongly recommend against it. There are several
other much better resorts along the same road at 30% or more reduction
in price with pleasant staff. And with no charge for an additional
bed. |

First trip to Koh Samui wern t sure what to expect. All the staff
at Baan Talay were very friendly and helpful. Stayed in Pool View
Room. Clean and tidy, no complaints. Food at restaurant was good,
breakfast especially. Glad we stayed at south end of Chewang Beach.
Would stay there again and recommend. |

Baan Talay Resort, Chaweng Beach
We have wonderful time staying in this resort. The beachfront villa
is simply amazing. Although the room is a bit old but is very clean
and neat. Our villa is just less than 10 meter from the sea and we
have beautiful sunrise view every morning. Good location and very
peaceful environment. After enjoying busy Chaweng, this is the best
place for you to rest your feet. Only one suggestion to this resort,
please provide more choices in breakfast buffet. People like us staying
in your resort for 6 days 5 nights and having almost the same kind
of breakfast is a real pain :-) Overall, it s a very nice resort with
friendly and helpful staffs! The travel agent located just next to
the resort - holiday tour (a very cozy shop) is your right choice
for sight seeing and some day trip to island nearby. The man is very
helpful and honest. We have rented a motorbike from him and visited
to Koh NangYuan and Ang Thong through him. Thumb up for Baan Talay
Resort and this travel agent! Fantastic! |

Location is perfect if u don t want to be in the loud chaweng. Staff
is really friendly and responsive. My room was clean and insects proof.
The pool is nice and can be quiet if no kids jumping around. The beach
is fantastic with its restaurant above. In all in highly recommand
this hotel and definetly will stay here again. |

It was quite agreeable. I had stayed here previously and found the
management seems to have changed. Reception was very responsive. Every
request was dealt with quite swiftly and I was disappointed that the
seafood dinners seem to have disappeared. I also feel that some refurbishment
is needed after all this time. Overall though - very nice and good
value for the price. |

Baan Talay Resort, Chaweng Beach
Our first impressions upon arriving at Baan Talay was a nice, laidback
place but very simple resort in need of some TLC. The trusses are
rusty and the restuarant area & rooms could use a facelift. The pool
& gardens are fabulous though! We stayed in the beach front deluxe
room which has the best view, the room itself was basic, yet comfortable
and we loved having our own sun lounge on the deck overlooking the
beach. This part of Chaweng beach is the best on the island. Its very
clean and safe swimming for kids. The resort is also very close to
all restuarants and shops. We found the staff to be very friendly
and hospitable. Our only criticism would be the hotels breakfast process.
My husband was sick for 5 days after contracting Thai belly from an
omelette he d eaten at breakfast. This definitely put a dampner on
our holiday. Leaving food out in the tropics for 4 hours is very concerning
for us as we live in a similiar climate in OZ, foods such as ham for
example can not be left out for long periods as the bacteria grows
quickly and causes illness. The hotel should review this practice
of leaving food out, perhaps a small bar fridge would suffice for
this purpose. We thought the hotel should also think about hosting
theme nights to encourage some atmosphere like other resorts on the
beach. We would stay here again as it was very peaceful, however there
are a few resorts close by for the same price and they were more classy. |

We stayed here for 9 days. This is a nice hotel at a very nice beach.
The rooms were nice and clean, the staff was friendly. The girls at
the reception sometimes seemed to be be unfriendly but I think the
workpressure was a bit to high for them and they were in fact very
friendly. Very nice swimmingpool. This hotel is a perfect place if
you want to to have a peacefull beachholiday and don t want to walk
too far for shops, restaurants etc. Only one minor, the beds and pillows
are very hard. |
