Bang Saphan Hotels with Airport pickup service

We arrived after a close to 500km drive from Phuket. The hotel , at the end of a 1 km somewhat deserted road and just a few feet from an endless quiet white sand beach looks like a very small redish building. We parked in a 6 car informal parking and walked to the counter. A lady gave us our breakfast vouchers and tickets exchangeable for returnable beach towel without hesitation. We sadly were the only customers that night thanks to Covid. Inside is a large circular garden with a big swimming basin à Jaccuzzi and areas to play in the water surrounded by the buildings with the rooms and a 2 story structure where the restaurants are. Our room : a “family cottage”was not a cottage But a room atop 4 steps next to another similar room to form a house. And all rooms around the property seemed to be laid out as such. Our lodging consisted of a first room with on the left a make shift bed 20 cm from the floor constructed with a raised board box with a 4 inches mattress open on the near and right side and wall on the other two - a hell of a treat to get in and out - a desk, a window to a small terrace with no view, another small room with two bunk beds and a storage under half of one of the bed, a 2.5 sq meter shower room and a separate toilet with a tiny sailboat type WC. A small fridge under the desk and a ratan arm chair completed the scenery. Materials used kind of Thai traditional wood dyed dark and straw. Contrary to agency advertisement : no bathtub, no cable TV - had 2 chanels France 24 in English and France 24 in French. AC worked well and was quiet and water pressure was excellent. Place was clean but small and dark even with the blind open. To complete the disappointment the restaurants were closed and under renovation, the garden was also under renovation with trees being cut off. We were able to eat in a ground floor bar structure with an extensive menu. The food was good and priced ok for a hotel. The bar also served cocktails and drinks. Service was friendly. Waiters had to go accross the garden and up to the second floor (Thai or US second floor- French 1st floor) of the restaurant to get the food.... which arrived tepid with a saran wrap on top to keep it hygienic Breakfast was served the same way. No more buffet due to the virus. Except for fresh orange juice it was extremely mediocre. Industrial white bread tinned ham and sausage.... so-so coffee. Our disappointment came because we paid per day more than we had just paid in Phuket in a 5 star hotel with a 55 sq meter modern room, unlimited access to club lounge with soft drinks all day afternoon tea and evening unlimited cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Breakfast with the best hotel cooked breads and viennoiseries all this for 12 guests - 6 rooms occupied in a 250 room property. Of course right on the Adaman sea beach. Our gratitude to the manager if Coral hotel for spending time with us explaining what was available in the area, supplying us with a leaflet and a map and off

Der Aufenthalt im Hotel war ausgesprochen angenehm. Der Empfang gestaltete sich sehr herzlich. Und diese Herzlichkeit setzte sich die ganzen zwei Wochen fort. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Küche plus Bedienungspersonal. Auch das Housekeeping-Team und die Gärtner machen einen tollen Job. Ich kann das Hotel nur wärmstens empfehlen und würde jederzeit wieder da wohnen, wenn ich in der Nähe bin.

This is everything I like, stylish bungalows are located in a well-kept green park, which is constantly cleaned, watered, workers cut and clean things. A large territory, but not all inhabited. We arrived in the evening, didn’t immediately see all the beauty, but in the morning we were delighted by the water lilies that bloomed in a small pond in which fish live, by the way, they were happy to have bread, if you’re there, don’t forget to feed them))). There is a pool at the end of the territory, we went once, there is no point in splashing around in the pool when there is a beautiful beach and a wonderful sea right across the road. There is no one on the beach, no one at all all day, no more than 3-5 people in the morning and evening. Breakfast is not included, you need to pay an additional 200 baht, standard, everything is fresh, instant coffee. We had dinner at a nearby cafe, inexpensive and not very tasty. Maybe there are better eating places, but we were there for 2 days and didn’t bother looking. The biggest plus of the hotel is the sea, the beach and the wonderful green area
