Seaview Hotels in Chanthaburi Province, Thailand

If you dont have to wait 35 minutes for your room to be ready. If there was a comfortable chair in the room instead of two straight backed ones. If the golf cart wasn’t out of order after dinner to take you back to your room 100 meters away. If the cushions for the lounges at the pool were available instead of having to lie on hard wood. Very hard wood. The cushions and pillows were stacked up and wrapped in plastic covering even though it was a sunny day. All day. If the food was more than just OK at the pool side restaurant. The power failure was not the fault of the hotel but it’s still a long way down from floor 8. If the fifth floor rooftop bar that is listed actually was open. If the massage was actually available as listed. Overall this is a nice enough place but it just needs to address some of these minor issues that perhaps individually are not important but that cumulatively add up to a sometimes frustrating stay.

My friends and I visited Baan Rim Ao Resort in August 2019. Baan Rim Ao Resort is a bayside resort located near the Gulf of Thailand and many tourist attractions in Chanthaburi like Old Town Chantaboon Waterfront and The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. For the transportation to the resort, since my friends and I couldn't drive. We took a public transportation to Chanthaburi Bus Terminal. Then, we asked the resort to come pick us up. When we arrived at the resort, we were stunned by the beautiful scenery and the beautiful decoration. Moreover, the sound of the waterfall near the reception made us feel relaxed and so ready for a vacation that we longed for. The hotel's decoration is very simple but stunning. The wall has the quote about vacation painted on it, for example, 'travel more, worry less'. The room was amazing as well. The resort provided everything you wanted such as the fridge, the hairdryer, some snacks, some bottle of water, and television. The bathroom is very clean and quite big as well. The scenery from the room is stunning. We can see the pond of water lilies and the resort's garden which made us feel very relaxed and close to the nature and the swimming pool. The garden has so many place to take a picture and since it is near the bay, it is very windy too! But again, stunning view. The food is quite nice since the resort also has a restaurant called Bang Manao within the resort. Our first dinner there was remarkable. Breakfast was also provided. The resort had variety of food from sticky rice with a grilled pork to a cereal and a salad. Everything was yummy too, impressive! The resort also provided Wi-Fi to the guests. For us, the internet connection was quite good and we didn't have any problem using it. They also had bicycle rental service for the guests who wants to ride a bicycle around the area. We rode a bicycle to King Taksin The Great Shipyard which located very near the resort. Apart from that, thing that impressed us the most was the resort's staffs. The resort's staffs were very nice and friendly to us. We had a nice chat with P'Amm who was at the reception. The other staffs were friendly as well. They took care of us when we asked for a bicycle and since we couldn't drive, they drove us to the tourist attraction that we wanted to go before we went back to Bangkok. I would like to say again that they took care of the guests very well and you won't be disappointed. All in all, this was one of the most enjoyable trip that I had. Even though the resort located a bit far from the city, it was quiet and peaceful and worth every penny. Nice decoration, nice food, and the staffs were very nice too! If you want a nice and peaceful experience when you visit Chanthaburi, Baan Rim Ao resort is a place for you!

We have regularly (annually except for Covid) made a point of spending a few nights here, and have never been disappointed. Beach-side accommodation for us, Breakfast is good selection of Thai from buffet, eggs fried to order. Generally out and about during the day Chanthaburi is not far if you have a car, but taxis are available -- contact reception. Restaurant open evenings for dining inside or outside by the beach. Evening relaxing listening to the sea, bottle of Singha, what's not to like. Also not many Farang, although the description applies to me, I prefer Thai company!
