SeaView Resort and Spa
Room rates from 2,600 baht
Sea View Resort & Spa is one of the most popular 3 star resorts for families looking to stay in a peaceful beachfront setting.
It is located at the far southern end of Kai Bae beach, so be prepared to have a 20 minute walk if you want to get into Kai Bae village for shopping. But there are a couple of other resorts nearby if you don’t fancy hotel food.
The hillside bungalows are definitely showing their age, one glance and you know their best days wre around a decade ago. And for the same price you can get a very good hotel room with sea views. The Superior rooms feature floor to ceiling windows and a glass walled bathroom, so you need never miss a sunset even whilst taking a shower.
The pool is medium size but there are plenty of sunloungers and refreshingly the hotel has a policy that doesnt allow people to reserve sunbeds with their towels for hours. One hour and if the sunbed isn’t used the towel is removed.
The beach directly in front of the resort is the best in this area and at very low tide you can walk to the island 400 metres offshore that you can see on the satellite map below.
Additional rooms and what promises to be a stunning hillside restaurant are due to open in late 2009.
Overall recommended for families and couples looking for 3 star comforts in a well established resort. I wouldn’t bother with the fancier spa suite rooms though, unless you are a real spa nut who needs their own private jacuzzi and sauna with massage staff at your beck and call.
Room Rates: From around 2,600 Baht High Season

The reviews in TripAdvisor claim the staff in this place is very rude and service bad. One said the change for worse has happened lately. Any ideas why? (There were a lot of these comments so I am inclined to believe them…)
