We stayed here in August 2010 during the Buddhist holidays. We chose a resort because we knew all the bars would be closed and we could have a drink in a resort
However we were very dissapointed when we arrived and to call this place a resort is very misleading. Also I think you can get much nicer accomodation for the same price. The breakfast was also very poor quality and not enough to go around.
I will say that the staff are very nice and there is fast internet and you are not that far from the town centre,about 1 km or 100 baht in a tuk tuk
Overall I would not stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay in Baan Talay Chine over Songkran. We stayed in Bamboo, one of the newer rooms. What I really liked about it was that you were close enough to town, especially on our hired scooter, with lots of options on the Neb (something!) road to town, becoming really trendy, but you were miles away from the lunacy of Songkran when you did not want it. Service was great, attentive when you needed it and so helpful. Room was beautiful, so tasteful. A wonderful base to relax away from things, with it all just there when you needed it.

We stayed in one of the studio's as we didn't want to pay a high price but we were a little surprised that it didn't quite match up to the claims in the brochure. It wasn't 50 sq m - more like 35 sq m - and the so called 'private deck' was actually shared with the next studio. Happily there wasn't anyone in that room when we were there but it's not an accurate description. The room was nicely furnished in Chinese style but a little dark inside. One other thing, the hotel claims to be set in lush gardens - this is true, but they belong to the neighbouring properties!! (No access). The hotel is very small - more of an over-developed guest house - not really a resort, but the service is fine and the location is good for excellent restaurants nearby en route to the town. Tuk-tuks are not readily available so be prepared for a walk to town and this will be a hot walk in summer as there isn't much shade on that road. Maybe the host will call for a taxi for you. The pool rooms look better than the one we had but frankly, for the money, you'd probably be much happier at The Hen, a similar guest house right on the beach just a few hundred metres away, and nearer to town. We called in to have a look and it is very classy. There are others like that too, along that road. Sorry, Baan Talay Chine, we won't be coming back but thanks for the service anyway.
