“Good mid-range resort with excellent wifi.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 16, 2013 via mobile

Stayed here for 7nights in a Standard Deluxe for 1,700baht.

We were a bit worried after seeing some of the reviews but were relieved to find that Salad Beach Resort is a great value mid-range resort that I would highly recommend. Soft western style bed (yay!) and Thai style shower. Room was clean and cleaned daily, and supplied with bottled water daily.

Buffet breakfast was so-so but on par with any other Thailand resort - they cooked pancakes in animals shapes for kids. If you eat at the resorts restaurant you'll find it cheap (which is rare for a resort!) but of average quality.

Experienced the fastest and most reliable wifi of our Thailand travels.

The resort is right on the beach and has heaps of sunbeds. Pool was clean. The resort itself is lovely, heaps of trees and little huts to sit out of the sun.

Staff were friendly, spoke good English and very helpful.

Haad Salad itself is a great bay to stay in. Plenty of restaurants to choose from, you can snorkel off the beach and there are a number of shops to buy clothes, trinkets, food etc but at an inflated price. I'd recommend doing the squid fishing offered through the resort and eating at Salad Hut Restaurant.

“Nice clean huts with a great pool.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 4, 2013

Good pool, nice clean rooms, but food not great so ate elsewhere (mainly the excellent Salad Hut). If youre a young family or couple and can live without the pool - remember the beaches around here are perfect for little ones, then I'd say stay at Mae Haad in the next bay.

Stayed February 2013, traveled with family

“Nice place with very good food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

When I was staying at this place I though the had the best food in Thailand. I don't know if I still agree but they had a great dish I cant remember the name but I suspect it is not a Thai dish. Nevertheless this is a great place to stay in if you want to take it easy for some time.

“If you like an overpriced hotel on a tiny not-so nice beach then stay here.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 14, 2013

Thank good we only paid 1500 baht on agoda. To add an extra night they wanted 3400. The room was big but the patio viewed a concrete wall and a poop like smell wafted up along with a noisy humming generator or aircon unit! The bathroom didn't have a fan and we couldn't get hot water to come out even when we did what the front desk told us to. Beds were comfy. Restaurant had good service one day then the next day we left after 25 mins of no one coming to see us. Pool area was lovely but for 3,400 baht they should be replacing some pool mats soon. Room was nice overall once you left the bathroom door open to keep the dank smell out and got used to the crappy view/smell on the patio. The bungalows looked nice. The main building is a concrete wasteland. Massage place is good, I enjoyed the service there!
