Salad Buri Resort & Spa

In the morning of the day of check-in, we got a message from this hotel telling us they are undergoing “construction” and don’t know what when will finish. Said they had put us in their sister hotel - Koh Ma Resort - “which is more expensive” They give us no choice at that point, as we cannot cancel on the day of check-in. In Koh Ma everything was closed and only one restaurant available,which the hotel restaurant. It was so depressing... nothing to do at all.

Tout a été parfait quel endroit magique Vue maique

Bien dans l ensemble deux points négatifs l eau de la piscine prive froide et c est un etablissement ou il y a beaucoup de moustiques du à l eau stagnante autour du resort.

Mooi hotel maar wel wat gedateerd. Restaurant / bar sloot al om 22u. Ontbijt is prima!

Nice hotel on a really quiet beach. With the pool villas you get a nice view of the sea and partly the beach. The south end of the beach is not great for swimming in the low tide. Friendly staff and clean rooms. When checking in they tried to charge me for the stay, even if it was already paid, so bring receipts.

We really enjoyed our stay. The accommodation was lovely and the service was great

Loved everything about it! Will definitely returning in the near future.

This was a nice property for the young and fit. I have a handicap and my BF has a heart problem so we found walking up the steep hill a little hard. While the room was nice, it was a little small.

Et dejligt sted🌴 Skøn hotel og service. En lille stille strand. Skønt klart vand. Lidt isoleret sammen med de andre hoteller i bugten. Men priserne er ikke skruet op af den grund! Men man kan ikke lige købe lidt ind i 7-11.

Detta hotel är inte värt 1500:-/natt som vi gav, vi var där 7 nätter.Borde ligga på hälften.

Adoramos o hotel, limpeza e vibe do lugar. Ambiente mais familiar , piscina maravilhosa e praia também! O restaurante ótimo e preço super acessível. recomendo!

Location was far off from anything, staff not helpful, everything closes down at 1030pm which seemed useless, but on other hand rooms were great we took an private pool room, pretty clean and well maintained

Only had 2 nights here, staff were excellent, always polite and helpful, the hotel was near empty, due to low season, so breakfast was a bit of a mash up, ticks and circles on a menu list, but food was very good, highly recommended the yogurt with muesli and fruit, very nice, the beach is stunning and the views from some of the higher were to die for, the quality of the rooms and more importantly the bedding is very high, great nights sleep, If your staying a few days or more you’ll need to rent a bike, they can arrange that for you, breakfast was 200 baht each per day and motorbike 250 per day, they can arrange pickup from the ferry 150 each person each way, Would definitely stay here again, like being in heaven

Hotel direkt aan strand met groot zwembad. Eten is goed en vriendelijk personeel. Mooie kamer. Helaas algemeen veel achterstallig onderhoud, vooral bij zwembad en in kamer.

Rooms in poor condition, bad showers, poor breakfast

The hotel is perfectly situated and all ingredients for a beautiful hotel are there. However, the rooms are outdated, the food is not very good and there is a lot of maintenance to be done in the rooms and around the swimming pool. The current situation is absolutely no value for money.

Hotel was ok but not a 4 star experience.plenty of other hotels that offer a better quality. Staff were helpful apart from 'Mamma thai' who was damn right annoying at times. Breakfast was sub par. One thing that stuck out for.me was when the cleaners had cleaned the room and had left the huge windows open in the bedrooms to air the room out presumably, we have 3 children 3,6,9 who could easily have had a terrible fall bearing in mind we were very high up in the hill. Overall it was a ok hotel but could have been much better

Excellent 10 day stay, very secluded area with a relatively small beach. Food at the resort was very good & well priced, plus there were a handful of close by restaurants.This resort is set into a hillside on various levels which gives all amazing views, however may not suit elderly travellers.The absolutely only negative I had was the very very steep drive to the resort from the main road which could be a problem if wet & especially on a motorcycle.

We spent 10 days here in May 2018, and while we had a nice time, the resort itself did not meet our expectations of a 4-star resort. Firstly, we had a 2-bedroom lagoon villa with private pool, but we didnt really use the pool as it is not “private”; its completely exposed to the rest of the resort as its overlooking the artificial “lagoon”. It’s also really small. Secondly, the place is really run down. Toilet seat, toilet paper holder, sink etc. were all in ruins. There are people brooming around the resort 24/7, but they should hire a janitor instead. Completely wrong focus. Thirdly, the included breakfast was a joke. “The buffet” had maybe four items (and all bad quality). We complained to the management, but they said its like this in low season. Hillarious. Its like saying we dont change the sheets, because its low season. If you are a 4-star resort, you need to maintain the appropriate standard regardless of how many guests you have. We only used our breakfast coupons the first day. Much, much better food at Salad Hut a little further down the beach. Also much nicer staff and cozier atmosphere. Fourthly, the elderly lady running the resort restaurant was extremely obnoxius. The type you just couldnt pass on the way to the beach without her trying to sell you a tour. Also asking all the time why we didnt eat at the restaurant. To sum up, this is not a 4-star resort, and the amount we paid does not correspond with our experience.

Trevligt ställe med vänlig och hjälpsam personal. Bor man högst upp längs berget så är det konditionskrävande trappor upp. Trevlig resturang med bord på stranden kvällstid och levande ljus, bra priser inte för dyrt som många andra resorts. Stranden är långgrund, dyig och stenig går inte att bada vid, man får ta taxi till någon annan strand norrut. Då funkar poolen bättre. Det finns inget annat att göra här än att shilla. Äventyr kan bokas här, de hjälper till med allt.

Beautiful hotel set in a scenic resort with the three tiered pool right on the beach. If you can book one of the rooms with its own pool, we didn’t but they looked amazing. Our room was set quite far back up the hill so unfortunately it was a bit of a steep walk so there was no quickly nipping back to the room if we forgot anything so if you have trouble walking on uneven ground opt for a room close to the pool. The BBQ they have on each night is so tasty and staff are very polite and helpful.

Es war schön ruhig und gerade Mama Tim hat unseren Aufenthalt versüßt. Diesigste eine ältere, sehr nette Dame, die jeden Abend zu uns käme und sich mit uns unterhalten hat und uns Tipps gegeben hat, was wir unternehmen können. Das hoteleigene Restaurant ist okay. Uns hat aber ein anderes Restaurant am Strand ( ca. 20 m entfernt) besser gefallen. Der Strand ist total schön.

It is 2 stars hotel, room too small and bathroom smelly(badly - you have to block tbd sink). No towels for hands or hairs.. no channels , they have few bad/ noisy signal channels that you can't even watch and not mentioning the tv is next to the bed. In addition the air condition decided to turn itself automatically during the night. Next to the bed is the mini bar which is noisy as well.

there are much better beaches and much better locations, but the comfort, luxe and service of this resort is better than anything else

Very dissapointed by our stay. booked & stayed 3 nights paying almost 5000thb per night to stay in a lagoon pool villa, some staff cannot understand a word of english. the old lady in resteraunt was always abrupt annoying and confronting almost shouting at guests where to order from. Never saw her do any work. one night we rang to enquire about room service & the kitchen did not have what we wanted which was fine so we told them thanks goodnight, however 10 minutes later a banana pancake arrives with a young boy demanding we pay for it. i told him no & next minute "Lim" arrives and starts shouting at me in my room saying i shouldnt order food then not pay for it. basically intimidating me & trying to scare me into paying for it. i was horrified!! i refused then spoke with manager next day regarding it & no offer to do anything extra for us just a brief sorry thats it. the food is really no good... omlette is super greasy, food has no flavor poor quality. we ordered many room service & tried bbq on beach, all food is below average. the lagoons are filthy & need to add lots of fish because mosquitos are shocking. reception staff are happy and helpful. the lagoon villa pool rooms are lovely however the 2nd room is needing bedheads on the single beds and the matresses are like sleeping on a rock. another problem is noise... the staff seem to allow people to yell & scream without keeping it under control. tv only has 5 channels. for the price the property needs lots of work.

El hotel era bonito con todos los servicios pero el acceso al mismo es horroroso. Ay mucha distancia desde la recepción y habitaciones hasta llegar a la carretera, además de ser una pendiente muy pronunciada que obliga a tener que acceder y salir del hotel siempre en taxis o alquilando motocicleta. El precio del hotel es elevado por la categoría que es. Suponemos que es por tener piscina en tu propia habitación, pero las habitaciones con todos sus detalles, no estaban renovadas, encontrándose en la nuestra un baño bastante usado y no reformado, hamacas y columpio desgastados. El buffet del desayuno era muy pobre y escueto y las consumiciones en el bar carísimas. Además debías tener mucho cuidado con todo lo que había ya que ya indicaban que cualquier desperfecto o roturas tenía una multa de una elevada cantidad.

Haad Salad is a great beach, you'll enjoy it very much, just choose any one of the other hotels in the bay. This hotel is about 10-15 years past its glory days and about 5 year past a much needed major renovation. everything you touch or feel on the verge of breaking or already broken. bed mattress has 6 metals across you feel the whole night, inroom safe doesn't work (since we had 2 rooms we used the other), hot tube either doesn't work or can't drain water, jets are green from stagnant water, door to balcony shuts at about 4 cm off the doorpost to allow muskitos to enter the room at night (on an island full of them..), the part of the air-condition that directs the flow of the air was removed (or broken a few years ago), lightpost outside the room had been broken sometime ago and now you can mostly see the black masking tape used to fix it ;-), all wooden decking around hotel are either broken or will break any minute, pool shower floor has small sharp stones instead of the wood deck that broke, there is a huge hole next to the pool where the bar used to be... and more and more and more.. i've got plenty of pictures i will post for everyone to see. you can sum this all up with what the receptionist told us on checkin when we asked if the manager was in the hotel that day.. he said "She is never here" ! can't blame her...

Sono ritornata in questo hotel dopo alcuni anni e l'ho trovato in uno stato di abbandono e completamente cambiato come qualità di clientela. Era un'oasi di pace in una baia incantevole, nonostante la problematica delle maree ed e' diventato una locazione per famiglie numerose e con bambini senza educazione che considerano l'hotel il loro parco giochi privato! La nostra camera, villa con piscina privata, e soprattutto il bagno necessita di una radicale manutenzione così come tutte le attrezzature comuni. Colazione pessima.

Bel hotel mais un peu vieillissant et mal entretenu. Chambres spacieuse dans les bungalows. Situation magnifique proche de la plage. Personnel pas attentionné et pas souriant. Petit déjeuner moyen et peu mis en valeur

Skønt skønt hotel lige ned til stranden. Store værelser, lækker pool og fantastisk udover stranden.

Bel hotel tres grand il faut beaucoup monter de marché si votre chambre est en hauteur accueil assez froid. Jolie plage mais relativement isolée (pas de commerce) bien pour un court sejour

We had an amazing view of salad beach. Family room was very good value for money. Breakfasts were great. Mama Tim very helpful In booking trips such as snorkelling at Koh Mae. Salad Beach itself was great. Will definitely stay here again.

Hotel staff were all very welcoming and friendly. The front desk was very helpful. The restaurant at the hotel was absolutely amazing, I would recommend eating breakfast and dinner there! The bungalows are in pretty good condition and kept spotless. I was sad to leave this excellent resort and plan on going again on my next trip.

This is almost a beautiful place, but no upkeeps are done. We paid a high price due to full moon party. We had trouble with wifi in our room; bed was not comfortable, the room had a smell that was cleared when we opened the door and the balcony door. The AC blows straight onto your face while in bed, and was not pleasant. But, the room was large and lovely. It is a shame that they don't put in a little effort to keep the rooms and hotel in better condition as it is a great location on the beach. Breakfast was good. Main road was under construction so troublesome to get there, but they worked on it very fast. Best to have scooters to explore the island, though you can walk the beach for various other restaurants and massages. I would look for another place next time.

Would definately come back and stay again! Breakfast is yummy and the atmosphere of the resort is calming and peaceful

Looks nice on pictures but the place is old and needs a complete renovation the mouldy smell was everywhere from the reception to the restaurant to the rooms, where we found old towels, stained bath robes, dirty slippers, and they made us count the old dirty cups and towels in the room... !? The staff was nice but they are obviously managed by very stingy owners. On the bright side the salad beach location is beautiful, the ferry pick up was well organised, and the restaurant Thai food was great. But not worth the US$110 ticket they charge. We couldn't stay even for one night, we packed up and left even though the room was prepaid, and we found lovely beach bungalows in nearby charming Chaloklum bay ranging $25 to $50.

I thought this is a good hotel. Quiet and clean. I booked a 2-bed room villa. The swimming pool is OK not really big. There is also a Jacuzzi which I didn't try but I think children will love it. Transportation is not very convenience but if you book this hotel you should know that. I am really a bit scare of their taxi there so I usually book the hotel van to go outside. You can arrange with the hotel.

I stayed here for 9 nights B&B in late June located on the North West of the island about 30 mins drive away from the noisier Southern resort area of Haad Rin (Full Moon parties etc). The hotel accommodation is built into the hillside and set into a stunning landscape and on a fine beach. The beach has a number of restaurants, bars, masseuse huts etc as well as the in-house offering so plenty of choice. The hotel itself though - like a good number of the island resort hotels - is set down a steep hill and to get around means hiring a scooter - very reasonable - or taking a taxi to outside locations further afield. Standard taxi fare is between 100 and 200 baht depending on the destination i.e. £2 to £4 - not going to break the bank. The pool is set on 3 linked tiers and is beautiful for lounging for those who do not want to lie on the white sandy beach. The bay is tidal so the far end (5 mins) is better for swimming as the area immediately in front of the hotel is too shallow and used by some small local boats etc.

It's a bit far from town (all the shops are near Tong Sala pier), but there are a lot of restaurants along the beach offering decent food at great price. Rent a bike and you could have more options. For inexperienced riders, please be careful, as the road leading to the hotel is a steep hill with sharp bends. Like really steep. Room is great. Beautiful room, spacious, clean, cosy bed, clean private pool, fantastic beach view from the room and the private pool. The living hall smells like old wood, but the air-conditioning gets rid of it after you switch it on for a while. You can access the pool directly from the living hall as well. Our room is quite far from the reception, very tiring to walk. But you can call front desk to get a buggy to pick you up. Hotel staff can help you with bike rental and other transportation (even until Surat Thani airport). The beach where the hotel is at (Haad Salad) is not that great for swimming (amazing sunset view though), but a 5 minute bike ride can take you to Mae Haad beach (really beautiful beach), or Haad Yao beach (wide, shallow beach, with the softest sand I've ever felt). Hotel staffs are very helpful. Only a few staff can speak English well, but overall they're all really nice people. Breakfast is just okay though. If you could choose, get the room near the pond. It's nearer to the reception and the beach. The pond looks green, but it doesn't smell or anything really.

A great place the kids loved it and we where all very happy with staff and hotel , great dining on beach, easy to rent canoe,paddle board , reef just outside the beach for snorkeling, nice pool and also took the kids fishing for squid - great family place

only downside is the hills !! Get a moped from hotel reception and you're set as taxis / transfers seem to wait until the car is full which doesn't always help!

Overall I'd say it was a great experience staying over at salad buri. Maybe the spa part wasn't exactly what I expected, since there were only masseuses outside and the rest of the hotels on the same beach had the same options but weren't named "spa resorts". The resort itself is rather isolated, so to travel anywhere I had to either take a taxi or rent a moped. Service was great, albeit a little slow at times. The view and the beach were the best on the whole island, always clean and always quiet. Room service was quick and tidy. Food was fantastic, always fresh fruit and vegetables, although you sometimes have to share either the space or the food with the local dogs that live around the hotel. They were never trouble, but it's best to keep them at arm's length. The only downside to this is that the living quarters of the resort are located on a rather steep hill, with a lot of sharp stones and steps and no railings anywhere.

We arrived at the hotel, we did check in, and everything was fine except for the fact that the staff came in and out of our room about 2 or 3 times I don't know why. 6 hours later the person who worked on the reception got inside our room (while my fiancé and I were in the bathtub) saying that she had given us the wrong key and we were in the wrong room. We had unpacked everything already and we had to pack again really quick while she was waiting on the door. Then they moved us to a room that was basically inside the wardrobe of the room that we were previously. Honestly, the hotel is very good but this kind of mistake is inadmissible. Moreover, nobody came to stay in our first room this day. They should have let we stayed in this room at least for the first day as a compensation for the terrible mistake and for the invasion of privacy, but they did not give us anything and actually acted as if were our fault. Our second room was really small and as I sad, was inside the other room. We had no privacy at all. I would not recommend this hotel if you are thinking about to book a standard room.

Hotel was fine, we did not expect a lot. You cannot sign for food in the restaurant, which is a pain in the.... Breakfast is terrible, lunch and dinner so so. Hotels.com messed up our bookings and this resulted in a lot of stress for our family ( not our room, but another, we had 5 rooms). Overall I would recommend this hotel if you have the right expectations, just relax, dont expect great service or great food though!

Great stay on this beachfront resort over Christmas. We had a pool villa which was spacious, clean and had everything we needed during our 4 night stay. The staff are lovely, the views are great, the pool is really nice with plenty of sun loungers. The area was perfect for a relaxing stay with enough bars/restaurants to eat at if you decide not to dine in the hotel. Would definitely stay here again as we felt it was great value for money.

Thailand disappoints for customer service in general. The hotel was supposed to be 4+ stars. It's not.

We stayed in a villa with private pool set high above Haad Salad. It was unfortunate that it rained for 2 of the 4 days we were there but the staff at Salad Buri were terrific. Often we required the cart to transport us up the steep hill to our villa. This is a great place for a relaxing holiday but nor suitable for people with mobility problems however the carts make it easier.

Our stay here was very pleasant. Dining on the beach every evening is available. The room was small as we went for a cheap option but very clean, comfortable and well decorated with some stunning views. A lot of stairs are climbed to get back to our room which means if you forgot something it's a tiring trip back up the hillside in the heat! Another downside is it's very remote. It's a very hilly walk to the nearest shop for drinks and snacks for your room. The hotel fills the fridge with drinks but charges you, even for the bottles of water! (Which we had for free even in much cheaper hotels). However, as a chilled out time in our travels, just lasting by the pool and on the beach, we had a great time. A short walk along the beach offers other restaurants to eat in, which are also cheaper than the hotel.

Salad Buri Resort is a very beautiful resort and the rooms are just great but you have to walk a lot up the hill. If your room is half way up the road it is a real "climb" from the beach to your room but I had an amazing view from my balcony. One of the problems I had during my stay was that the phone in my room did not work and it was raining outside, so I had to call them through skype because I did not have any towels in my room. The Internet was kind of slow and did not always work but after calling them twice via skype, they actually managed to bring me some towels. Their booking service was not as good as I had expected and the stuff was kind of unfriendly, therefore I ended up booking my dive trip and shuttle service to Koh Tao in another hotel. Also their restaurant service could improve a lot (during breakfast there was not any stuff at all for about 20min) but that is not really a problem as there are a lot of other restaurants around. The beach looks nice from your room but I would not really go swimming there (therefore they have a swimming pool).

spend great 10 days there. strong recommend. great service, great food and wonderful pool.

This resort was a little too campy for our taste. The pool was nice. The beach was not so nice. There was loads of stuff washed up when the tide was out. This is definitely not a swim beach. There wasn't even chairs down on the beach. The room set up was nice we had 2 rooms that adjoined with a little sitting area. So it was nice and spacious for my family of four. It was nice that the kids had their own room. However, the beds were so uncomfortable. My biggest problem with this resort were the death trap stairs we had to climb to get to our room. They were unstable rock stairs that went straight up. There are no rails to hold onto or lights leading up the path. So hold on tight and god forbid you have a glass of wine and try and climb them. Going down was even worse. Getting the bags up and down the stairs was no fun. This wasn't ideal with two small children. Overall, the resort was very, very quiet (almost too quiet). When staying here don't be surprised to see lots of wild life. We had a very large lizard on the outside of our bathroom window, a large spider in our bathroom and when walking to breakfast saw a lizard walking across the bridge that must of been 3 feet long yikes... We left after only 2 nights when we had a non-refundable 4 nights booked.

Very nice and quiet you cant swim in the sea to much coral all over also the tide is out during the day but has three lovely pool set in a nice cove plenty of resturants along the beach. The hotel is about twenty minuete car ride from the ferry very hilly .we enjoyed our stay and would go back again

Arrived to find the lagoon being cleaned out so 30 workers going to be there for our entire stay of 10 nights Showed us our room we had booked, private pool ,pool disgusting so dirty as was the room. Asked for another room and agreed to lagoon pool even though they were working on the lagoon it was an improvement. Bed stale smell. .First thing in the morning we were woken with skill saws and hammers then a note slipped under the door informing us they were replacing all the timber decking of the main pool and this will continue for a couple of weeks You have got to be kidding me, unbelievable we checked out, refused to give us our money back, they were rude and to them it's just all about the money, they don't care. This was supposed to be a resort for honeymooners etc, it was our wedding anniversary and was totally ruined by this resort

Hotel has great potential, nice location with pool etc.. But it seems to be poorly managed. Staff are not very interested, there is clutter everywhere and halfway through our stay they commenced major renovations so the pool became out of use and there was always drilling and sawwing.

This hotel is located north west of the island. Some website says it is only 8 minutes from Thongsala Pier. ACtually it is about 20 minutes drive and about 45 minutes from Haad Rin Beach. The room is clean and the view from my room is breath taking. The staffs are friendly and very helpful. This hotel is ideal for people who are looking for a quiet and relaxing place. You can't really swim on the beach in front of the hotel but you can crash other beach resorts that are located nearby. The pool is perfect. Overall I enjoyed my stay in this hotel very much.

Staff and facilities are great. The beach was not so good (rocky stones).

We didn't end up stsyng and lost our money. Hotel was in very poor condition. Is not at all a4 star maybe a 2. They placed us in a family room 10-15mins walk up a steep hill which we could not accept with 3 small children, there is also a green swap in front on reception and the water is full of rocks and unswimable in low tide. Really recommend against this place

Terrible hotel, beach pit front looks bad, swamp near half the rooms. Outer room as a family room up a hill 10-15 minutes impossible with kids. We left could not stay here

We had a fantastic stay, the resort is lovely, the staff very friendly (service is sometimes a little slow, but always with a smile). Will certainly be coming back to Haad Salad and will definitely stay at Salad Buri.

Great place to stay if you want to relax. We did the full moon party but wanted to be away from it for the rest of the time and this place was perfect

If you're looking for a quiet spot in the middle of the jungle then salad buri is the place to be with a lovely pool on the beach with crystal clear water full of life perfect for snorkelling. The rooms were perfect with a hot tub on the balcony

Lovely staff once you talk to then, amazing masseuse, happy place in a lovely quiet quant place, not best beach to swim in unless you go out on kayak to snorkel. But overall very happy and lovely stay. If you want exciting and busy best stay haad rin...

Service a little chilled out, like the area. Great resort, definitely go back.

Great hotel nice comfy bad cool swimingpool very nice restaurant with nice Thai food Great cocktails Nice staff always with smile waiting to get you whatever you want!!! Thanks Salad Buri Resort Can't wait to come again!!! Nino & Rim

Stay there with the family for 3 nights. We booked 2 rooms. We were given rooms with no view as it was block by trees surrounding the room even though the rooms was at the highest point of the resort. Be prepare to walk up steep step or arrange for buggy to transport you to the rooms everytime you are going back to your rooms. Have requested for seaview rooms but was told not available as they were fully booked. Reception was not helpful at all.Notice during our stay that the resort had about 40% occupancy only. Would defintely look elsewhere the next time we are there. The food at resort was reasonable. Restaurant manager was very helpful. For food would suggest the Thai restaurant along the beach - run by Chris and Zyang.

Nice pool and nice beach but that is all the good to say. Reception service is very poor, rooms (standard rooms) are very small (only space for the bed, you can not even walk around it). For one of the rooms we waited in vain for 7 days that they change the 2 light bulbs not working. The shower broke open 3 times in 3 days and had to wait 2 hours with 3 phone calls to the reception to get it fixed. Many other examples of the bad service, list too long to be written here. We booked 2 rooms in the same booking with the same family name but they managed to split the 2 rooms across the resort without being able to do anything for 7 days unless we pay "extra-money" equivalent to a additionnal third room. The second room was not very safe for a woman alone (not a real wooden door but a glass/wooden screen type of door, which can be open very easily) The hotel is not well maintained, wooden floor around the pool broken, doors and cabinets handles broken, etc ... small things adding up Attention : Most of the rooms are located up the hill. They offer a electrical car service to bring you up and down .... when they do not forget that you have called for the service.... Only 1 good point : The new Food manager who is trying his best to upgrade the service there.

The hotel is located far from all the parties and noise, on a secluded beautiful beach, perfect for honeymoon. The pool villa is amazing and if you rent a bike or not afraid of some stairs the rooms up the hill have the best view ever. The staff are so nice and really had done everything to make us feel comfortable. Highly recommended for ppl who seek some peace and quiet.

My girlfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights. The hotel was great. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The manager of restaurant/bar area named "Nop" was amazing. He super friendly and easy to chat with. Our visit was to allow us to go to the full moon party. The hotel offered 3 separate times to take a taxi to the party and the taxi would bring you back at various times in the early morning. The cost for this service was $400bhat/person. Pros: hotel was very nice and clean. Unique rooms and we were lucky enough to have a room with a personal pool. The public swimming pool was nice and had an excellent view of the beach. Cons: location. There is not much to do in the area. It was about 40mins away from the full moon party but was a good place to be the next day when you are recovering. Overall great hotel and highly recommended if you are looking for a quiet getaway. 4 out of 5!!

Last minute we decided to go back to Thailand for our anniversary. We found this great deal on Expedia and was so good we upgraded to room with Jacuzzi bath. We arrived at ferry terminal to be greated by Salad Buri taxi, perfect! driver gave us loads on info on way to Hotel, brilliant. When we were taken to our room i was gutted it was so far up and thought oh god this is going to be hard work- then we saw that view!!! It was amazing!! The steps were a good challenge(very steep and if you fell very sharp) but hotel staff very happy to golf buggy you up to your room when ever you need. A week in this was more than helpful as I hurt the ligaments in my right foot!! a massive thanks to Poi who had to carry me with my husband to the toilet on the first day, he said wait here, dissapeared and came running back with crutches!! What a hero. I could even get down the beach to enjoy gorgeous sunset!! most food finished by ten on the beach but great location few beach bars and Jacks bar great for all your night time needs!!

Wonderful place! Amazing beach and pools. Very good service. Recommended for couples.

Hotel staff could not do enough to make your stay as good as possible. Amazing location one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in and by fat the best on Thailand

The rooms were lovely and spacious with an incredible view of the bay. A room with a private pool is well worth it. Towels are clean but are tired and could do with being replaced. Coffee cups with chips we're put out at breakfast, which is a minor detail but it's the little things that makes the difference between a good and great. The reception area was cluttered and seeing that it's the first impression you get on arrival could do with a tidy. The hotel staff were particularly helpful and assisted with all transport and event bookings i.e. Boxing tickets, full moon transport etc. Having breakfast outside was breathtaking as you are almost sitting on the beach. Would visit again.

lovely hotel' beautifull and nice- but the srevice and cleaness must improve

So we arrived here after an exhausting day to find out that hotels.com hadn't updated their site quick enough and sold us a room that was no longer available! The team at reception was super helpful and called around to all of the resorts in the area to find us a place for the night. They really went above and beyond their call to help us out of this jam! The hotel was really lovely, on a great beach, pool room was awesome, no complaints! It's a bit of a hike to the Full Moon Party, but there's lots of taxis, just need to plan an extra 45 mins of transportation to and from!

The hotel is a new addition to the older site Salad Beach Resort, and is built on a hill on the left of the old property. That means this property is newer, better in quality and amenities. It also means it's rooms are on hills and unless going with the golf cart, you have to walk uphill or downhill, and to go to a great beach you will have to walk a few minutes, as the beach in front of the other hotel is better.

Great stay. Very helpful and friendly staff, clean, comfortable room. Breakfasts bit disappointing in quality although pancakes excellent! Hotel in general could do with upgrading.. Little bit jaded.

Cozy and quiet environment, nice restaurant by the beach like the BBQ fish.

Service was poor, they offered purchase of tickets for ferry however we discovered this was more expensive than from ferry company. Waited 30 minutes for transfer as driver was waiting around for unknown reasons. Service counter opens at 6am and our particular room was very high up so had to carry bags down as buggies not offered when leaving. Food at the restaurant was the worst meal we had eaten on our entire 2 week Thailand trip. Would not recommend

Overall a good resort but it's good if you want peace from all the bustling of full moon party. It's abit far from the centre so make sure you are willing to spend a lot of time on transportation. Stairs to the room need to be lit up more as during our stay we have to use the lights from our phones to get around coz it's pretty dark at night. A lot of steps so it's not for those who are impaired. Nice view of Haad Salad Beach, staff do understand English well enough to communicate. I was happy to know that during my late check in the room is already fully prepared. Great job.

Breakfast buffet was great, everything you could hope for. Pool was large and clean, could do with updating the umbrellas though. Restaurant was great with wide variety. Staff friendly. Could use better lighting for steps up to room, had to use phone torch at night. Steps up to room were not a massive issue but an inconvenience. Overall would recommend for a getaway and would definitely stay again.

Only in Phangnan for 2 days for full moon party. The hotel was adequate enough for what we wanted. The rooms were much smaller than anticipated and than any other hotel we stayed at during our time in Thailand. Only disappointing thing though, all clean and helpful staff.

What can I say - had a wonderful time - staff were great (especially the restaurant staff) - food was lovely, beach and pool both great. I went to relax and do nothing - it was a great place for just that - I will be going again

We were very happy with the resort. The stairs are treacherous, but the golf cart was usually available for a free ride to the villa, a comfort for those recovering from total knee replacements! Fresh mango smoothies at the pool are a must try!! Snorkeling was not spectacular, but the sea was warm and clean. Bring your own snorkeling gear, or rent at the Plongee Dive....the hotel has ancient stuff...The beach is quite short, so no long walks....but quite cozy in its own way...the staff was helpful and friendly (if they spoke English, of course!).

Excellent quality for the price. Nice room but small. However, there are larger rooms and suits in the hotels that are more expensive. Marvelous bay view from the room. Immediate transportation from room to beach and back if you cannot walk down and up the hill. Beautiful and relaxing bay that was not crowded at all in spite of the high season and fully booked resorts in the area. Much better location than the crowded town areas that are not so appealing for "matured" travelers and families. A 4-star by any American standards. We wish we had booked this location for more nights as its quality and location was much better than we could get in Koh Samui for higher rates!

We loved our time at salad buri. We had a villa with its own pool.bliss. we liked the location and thought it the nicest bay we saw. Only negative is that we hired a bike via the hotel (they say it is an outside source but we thought the guy u go through is definetly connected to the operation) and it fell over and got a few very minor scratches and we were forced to pay an outrageous and unfair sum for repairs and this was after heavy bargaining. The road to the hotel is horrendously steep. Rather use the road or track to the left which goes thro the resort next door. The walk to bottle beach is very tough and we thought the bay disappointing(it is quite built up) but maybe because the water was very rough .....anyways wear proper shoes and take water.

The hotel is located in a quiet bay north from island pier and views are incredible. We had booked a superior room with garden view and were amazed to find that our balcony was facing the sea where we could catch perfect sunset and sunrise. The Hotel is in great condition and the staff was extremely attentive. Room was spacious and very clean perfect for either long stays or a weekend gateway... could not recommend it highly enough!

The location is quite isolated in the NW part of the island on Haad Salad, which is nice if you want to get away from it from it all but not convenient if you want proximity to more amenities.

A number of things made our overall stay disappointing. 1. When we got off the ferry a man was standing with a sign labelled Salad Buri. Our party of 4 adults and 3 small children, exhausted after a 12 hr journey over air, land and sea, assumed this gesture was complementary. We climbed aboard and arrived at the resort only to be handed a bill of 300baht per couple for the journey. the rates charged were well above what we could have paid had we arranged our own transport. We felt it was opportunistic and lacked transparency. 2. Whilst the staff warmed up over the course of our 5 night stay, initially we did not feel any hospitality at check in or our first dinner that night. The waitress was in fact brusque and almost irritated. These first impressions didn't create a good beginning to our stay. 3. Staff had very limited if any English meaning there was some confusion over menu orders Etc. We also got the feeling there was an oppressive culture in the resort, perhaps from upper Managment as the support staff seemed very subserviant and this made up feel uncomfortable at times. 3. We went during low season and the tide on the beach was low alot of the time.The resort is also at the less attractive end of the beach.

Very good hotel, located on beach front with fantastic views. Be warned of the 100 or so steps up to room if you are located at the top of the mountain as we were. Great pool area and some great looking lake bungalows with private pools. All in all a very good hotel with nice isolated location.

We booked 3 twin bedrooms but got 3 king bedrooms and told us only very few twin bedroom in the hotel and told us my booking is on request. Manner no good at all some staffs.even not provide extra bed for us. So my friends 2 men sleep in one double bed. We never know that the resort is that far.

No beach, and the road down to the resort is very steep. You must take care if driving a scooter or jeep. Our room happened to have a very loud bird in a cage underneath the window that made it hard to sleep past 6 am. Small issues and overall the resort and staff were excellent.

PROS: most of the rooms have a beautiful view overlooking haad salad. resort as a whole is very nice. the rooms themselves are nice and cozy. in a nice, quiet part of the island. beds were comfy and housekeeping did a great job. CONS: bathroom sink was leaking excessively everywhere and instead of fixing it or giving us a new room i was handed a towel by the front desk (no apology or anything). "free wi-fi" barely worked during the five nights i was there and when it did it was painfully slow (not acceptable for the prices being paid). some of the restaurant staff was brutally overbearing and rude while others seemed to not care at all. also they would just grunt at you and never smile (with the exception of one good waiter!). 3 burnt out light bulbs in room. and THE BIG ONE......rented a scooter off of the company affiliated with the resort and i admit i scratched up the bike a little bit. went to return the bike and was absoutely taken to the cleaners. told me that every little scratch meant they had to charge me for the whole brand new piece at an inflated price no less! since they had my passport there was nothing i could do as i had to leave the island. told me he was giving me a good deal, but it couldnt have been further from the truth! really put a big sore spot on my vacation. if you are going to rent a motorbike DO NOT do it through the hotel, look elsewhere!

We had a private pool villa and the view was amazing. The pool was very chilly because its always in the shade but the villa was great!!

This is a wonderful Resort. The facilities are excellent. A truly fantastic staff. Very helpful and they worked so hard to make our stay fantastic. The rooms are first class, very clean and tidy and most comfortable. The meals here were beyond belief. I had to take photos to show them.

The food was very poor, to the extent that even though breakfast was in included, we went to eat at another restaurant up the beach instead. The seafood barbecue which is in the evening, was expensive in comparison to other resorts and private establishments.

I extended my stay at this hotel, I stayed for 5 days! I originally was at a superior room but found the room to be a little far from beach so upgraded to a delux room closer to the beach and pool area. Their superior rooms are a bit small for two people but certainly good enough and luxurious for single travelers. The staff was accommodating and friendly. The only downside was that wifi didn't work for almost the whole 5 days I was there but they did have computers for guest use in the reception. I would definitely stay here again!

very fency but rooms are far from the beach

Room without balcony to small barely able to move around the bad. Willing to paid for an upgrade but was deniad inspite free rooms. Management incompetent and unfriendly. Not able to charge meals and other services to room,guests need to have cash on them all the time. As a resort nothing was included, everything was extra. Pool was not cleaned regulary other than leaves, water dirty. On the opther hand personnel was very friendly.

This hotel has great potential, I feel that it is not ran properly as there were a few basic things that let the place down. The location is good if your looking for somewhere secluded, as access is not too easy. 20 minute taxi is the only way in or out. The hotel charges for this,, x amount per head regardless of how many is travelling and whether you are in a proper a/c van or an open top pickup!!!! I feel this should be complimentary or run a trip on the hour maybe. we were not able to put costs on the room,, ie. dinner in the hotel or drinks by the pool. This meands you have to carry cash with you at all times which is completely unacceptable in my view for a resort/hotel of this type. The rooms are really nice,clean and the views are good, most of the grounds are immaculate but the entrace down to the hotel is clearly unfinished which makes first and last impressions poor. The hotel manager is not up to the job in my view, my dealings with him were " annoying" to say the least. This resort is great for relaxing and has a good location right on the beach. The pools are great

Beautiful rooms, beautiful infinity pool, beautiful views and lovely food. Great hotel, our room had great views of the sea and was really pretty. P the receptionist and Su the main waiter spoke great English and were happy to help with anything. It is a really peaceful area. Other reviews suggested it was a building site, however all works must now be complete as there was none when we stayed in October 2010. We were really happy
