Room rates from 3,900 Baht

Sea View Resort & Spa is one of the most popular 3-4 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 cottages are  definitely showing their age, one glance and you know their best days were 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 doesn’t 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 a stunning hilltop restaurant opened in late 2009.  The restaurant has amazing views but serves ‘tourist price’ food.  Good for a sunset cocktail once during your stay. Get there by using the funicular train – the only one in Thailand apparently.

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.

Check prices as the old cottages should really be priced nearer 2,000 Baht/night than 4,000 Baht, so ‘Stay 1 night, Get 1 night free’ deals are common.

Room Rates: From around 3,900 Baht High Season
