Helle Christensen 2008-03-17 until 2008-03-31	Baan Talay Resort, Chaweng Beach Nice place with a wonderful garden and swimmingpool. Stayed in the beachfront bungalows, basic rooms but clean. Staff very friendly. Great beach, probably the best on Chaweng Beach. Restaurant was overpriced but breakfast was ok. We had a great time, and would stay here again.	Super, no problems.

Claes Ewards 2007-12-29 until 2008-01-04	Baan Talay Resort, Chaweng Beach We thought the resort as very nice, we had a room down by the pool, close to the restaurant ) the room was cleaned daily fresh towels, good bathroom and the shower actually worked well, all tiled floor - water in the fridge, daily - beds made etc, even with 2 messy Teenagers it worked out really good) we loved the pool -- is was the best! Special pool towels was available . The garden around very nice, and this end of the beach much better. The only thing some people booked “their” beach chairs in the morning with towels)) not a problem for me ! just get up a bit earlier and “Bob’s our Uncle” They had a small straw hut with a bar) this I would redesign to make it more inviting ) the breakfast was really good and the restaurant area clean, staff very help full )) mind you! We treated them with a smile They even cooked us a special dinner with Tiger Prawns that my son and I went out and got at the market )) “ this will remain our secret they were only 300 Bath per Kg )) the only thing was the clear wind plastic pull downs in the restaurant area some of them had been left to long and would not come down. And the pool loungers) the plastic covered foam things was very heavy with water)) could be fixed just by rolling them tight to squeeze the water out All in all we would love to come back again to enjoy the hospitality ) we had a good time Claes Ewards Auckland New Zealand	Very good ) I made several hotel enquiries, and always got a good fast response. I must say that if you want to book for 2-3 people you need to make a real effort to find out what is going to suite you. And you need to book well in advance. The only other thing that I would like to see - would be what credit cards the resorts take )) we got caught out the morning we left))) they did not accept AMX, card - “that is the only card I carry” I had to run to the ATM machine and take out cash so we could check out -“ not very good timing”
Anna Maria Blokh 2007-12-24 until 2008-01-02	Baan Talay Resort, Chaweng Beach This was a great hotel on the end of Chaweng Beach so it was less crowded and cleaner than the central part. The reception area is a bit depressing, however the layout of the gardens, rooms and pool is really nice. Rooms are basic and service is good. You need to take a taxi/tuktuk/motorbike to get to clubs/restaurants to go out in the evening.	Great service and quick response to my enquiries.
George James Harrower 2007-12-14 until 2007-12-18	Baan Talay Resort, Chaweng Beach Probably the worst room I have stayed in in Thailand. Although it was clean it was very basic. Not even a telephone or more importantly the in-room safe indicated on the website. On the positive side it did have a very nice pool. Breakfast below average for the price paid. There are far better rooms available in Chaweng for 2500 baht.	Efficient as always.
Laura Sinkler 2007-10-12 until 2007-10-16	Baan Talay Resort, Chaweng Beach I was very happy with the resort. The breakfast food was the rooms were clean. The beach out front was beautiful.	Booking service was good
Charlotte Moeller-olesen 2007-08-18 until 2007-08-22	Baan Talay Resort, Chaweng Beach Very nice place. Good service, wonderful beach and a great beach. Very good value for the price on Chaweng beach. Good for families with children.Would recommend anytime.
Catherine Eddy 2007-07-17 until 2007-07-21	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.	Not especially helpful when we were trying to negotiate our escape.
