Mooban Talay Resort Koh Samet

[sensei 0]

Stayed for a long weekend 3 days... Nice beach but not as nice as Ao Prao on the west side of the island for swimming. Lots of potentially hazardous sharp objects in the sand underwater, but a nice swim, if you do not want to put your feet down too much !!! Beautiful cottage with romantic outdoor shower. NO TV, so it is truly QUIET there...Very Very little hot water, with minimal water pressure in shower. Very good restaurant and excellent drinks. Wonderful pool overlooking the Ocean with its own swim up bar. EXTREMELY friendly and accommodating staff, with good English skills. No mosquitos in room, but huge amounts of them outside, especially at the restaurant, at night, as well as flies during the day. The resort has mosquito spray that worked great, ask for it...the grounds are immaculate and the cottage had its own private deck, and was right on the beach. Booked through Thai tour at 5300 a night, not including breakfast, but including roundtrip boat from Ban Phe pier. I really really enjoyed the intimate nature of this resort, and was thrilled by the small size and therefore few guests to share the facilities. Extremely recommended as a place to relax and watch the world go by for a few days.
