Mooban Talay Resort

Mooban Talay Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
Quiet, small beach. Perfect for young families or Romantic getaway. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room and partial outdoor shower are very romantic. No TV in the room was an awesome idea. Pool normal size for this island and clean. My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our stay here.

Reservation service:
Fast, efficient and reliable as always

Mooban Talay Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
I had a wonderful vacation at Mooban Talay. It is perfect for someone looking for a clean, quiet, secluded beach. The staff are helpful and friendly, the food is delicious, and the boat transfer service is very convenient. The bungalows are nice and comfortable, but could use an update. It s definitely a resort that is going on my list of places to visit again!

Reservation service:
I had a problem with my Visa card being accepted on the website, but the staff person I talked with on the phone was very helpful and I was able to do a money transfer here in Thailand. I am grateful for all the money I saved using sawadee.com. Thanks!

Mooban Talay Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
Quite disappointing really. The place could be quite nice if it was better maintained. The restaurant staff was not helpful at all and all looked poker-face, totally unpleasant. (very unusal for a Thai resort)Poor attention to hygiene...when i tried to cover the fruits being served buffet-style for breakfast (from the flies), they would take the cover off...quite a turn-off. The beach is full of sharp rocks and shells (at shallow water), three out of eight of us had our feet cut. No, I will not go back.

Reservation service:
booking service is fine

Mooban Talay Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
I highly recommend this resort. Especially if you are looking for relaxation & a quiet time. The beach is great. Sun loungers rarely fill up. Clear sea with not-too-hot, not-too-cold temperature. Great swimming pool overlooking the beach. Be sure to get up early to see sunrise at least once. Our bungalow looked over the pool, but we could see the beach/sea too. Rooms are fine, nothing too plush but clean & some nice touches. Love the outdoor shower idea. Nice big balcony. Staff are excellent. Restaurant v good. Best tomato soup ever, and the cashew chicken v good too. Massages also superb. If you want nightlife or shops you ll be dissapointed. There isn t any around. If you need any supplies get it at Ban Phe pier. Despite being told the island is full of mosquitos, my only bite was from an ant who was sat minding his own business on my flip flop when I put it on!

Reservation service:
Our 1st choice of resort wasn t available so we were emailed with this alternative. We also tried for a beach front room but they were full too. We were refunded the difference and all was well. Good communication.

Accommodation and facilities:
Rooms very good. Might think of adding TVs for the rainy days. Would rethink the outside shower set up. Staff very helpful. No mention of any of the sport facilities advertised on the web when asked, and there were no bicycles for rent as advertised.

This resort was perfect! It is absolutely beautiful. The pictures from the website do not do it justice. The staff was so friendly and they went above and beyond to take care of our every request. I can not wait to return to Mooban Talay! Thank you to all of the staff for a perfect vacation!

Mooban Talay Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
hotel provides free ferry transfer from the nuanthip pier in ban phe. freshly squeezed juice and freshly brewed coffee for breakfast, hotel ammenities ok, superior bungallow still can see the beach. hotel is located at the end of public road, so there is no road between the hotel/room and the beach, which was great. many fishing boat anchored hundred of yards away -- pretty sight at night. very quiet beach but some rubbish drifted from the mainland presumably. a pretty outcrop to the north of the hotel/cape noi na is worth a visit. why they don t clean dog litters in the beach? lots of trees and nice garden, we even saw some hornbill birds for several days. more than enough sunbeds for everyone, also several thatched roof huts with hammock for those who prefers shade.

Mooban Talay Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
I stayed at this hotel 5 years ago during high season and thought it was the best hotel because it has a nice white sand isolated beach away from banana boats and tour groups. There is really no where else on Samet that you can have a bungalow right next to your own beach. This trip during low season I wasn t as impressed. The rooms are run down, so they seem way overpriced. Other beaches during low season aren t that crowded so this hotel loses its advantage. There was no hot water in our delux bungalow. The hotel staff couldn t help us because the water heater was too far away from the room. This was the same 5 years ago. Everyone must complain about this, but they haven t tried to fix it. We also had water leaking out of our Refrigerator all over the room. Next time I m staying somewhere else.

Reservation service:
Sawadee was great. Super fast and better price than agoda. They aren t always cheaper, but this time they were. A lot of time sawadee can get rooms even when other sites don t have any rooms left.
