Allan Steiness 2009-10-31	Sala Talay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang, Nopparattara Beach We had pool access rooms , and it was amazing, but remember that Ao nang is a very green and tropical terrain so if you dont keep the aircon on , you may get geckos in your room ! the best hotel we ever stayed in .
Richard Steiness 2009-10-31	Sala Talay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang, Nopparattara Beach 2 weeks of joy and happiness, great hotel and staff. Great pool and restaurant and tour guide. we had Sea view Grand deluxe great room and balcony but if we have to find anything not good it would be lack of storage space and light over the mirror.. but that is only if we are looking for something. Its one of the best places that we have stayed and we will surely come back to this Hotel again.	great no problems
Stefan P. 2009-10-26	Sala Talay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang, Nopparattara Beach Reception and check-in smooth and friendly. Room clean and spacious. Seaview only when leaning out of the balcony and looking around the corner. Hotel is a bit over designed with cold naked cement walls. Breakfast is good. Restaurant service needs improvement. First evening they forgot our order and we left hungry after waiting 40 min. Not enough tables prepared during breakfast busy hour. Had to sit at naked table in the outside area and could not catch attention. Staff did not take care of arriving guests searching for a table. Beach is close, just across the beach road. Would come again, if no alternative available.	Good as always.
Chuleephon Paengsakul 2009-08-28	Sala Talay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang, Nopparattara Beach A really nice place to stay for a short break. The position of the hotel is excellent with beach and the rooms were a good size with balcony and modern bathroom. Breakfast was good yummy!..lots of choice and I can look sea view. Deluxe Room with a balcony very pleasant
Xue FEIFEI 2009-08-27	Sala Talay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang, Nopparattara Beach A good Resort. Quiet and beautiful swimming pool. The room is very good. But its location is not very convinient.Need to walk 10 mins to the center of Ao Nang.	good
Lesmanawati 2009-07-10	Sala Talay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang, Nopparattara Beach Nice .....amazing hotel, but the hotel is quite far from market or restaurant.	two thumbs for sawadee, great....
L Ryles 2009-06-24	Sala Talay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang, Nopparattara Beach My husband and I stayed at the Sala Talay in a pool access room mid June 2009 for 7 nights. Location of the hotel was great and has already been stated the beach is across the road (we knew this before we booked, so it didn’t bother us). We were able to walk into the main area of Ao Nang or catch a motorbike taxi whenever we chose. There are a couple of places nearby where you can drop your laundry (35baht/kilo not ironed), there is a small 7/11 type place a couple minutes walk towards Ao Nang, bars across the road, and tours booking agents nearby. Heading in the other direction the hotel is walking distance to “A One restaurant” (although we didn’t end up eating there as we ran out of nights). We were in Room 1101 which is the first room opposite the pool bar, as the hotel was only a third to half full during our week we didn’t feel our privacy was compromised, as there was only ever 3-4 people on this side of the pool bar side at any one time (there are other benches around the bar which are accessed from the lawns and reception area). The only thing that I would say is a minus for this room’s position is, it gets the direct afternoon sun from about 2pm and the decking gets very hot to stand on, the first bit of shade comes in about 4.30-5pm. All the pool access rooms in this wing get the full afternoon sun, so if you prefer a little more shade ask for one of the rooms in the wing running parallel to the beach road. Check in was smooth and the reception staff were very friendly, service was a little slow at times. The tour booking lady doesn’t encourage people or invite any interest in the tours/day trips on offer, so I’m not sure what she really did to amuse herself all day. Breakfast was ordered from a menu rather than buffet style, but the choices were reasonable and the eggs and omelets were well cooked and quite tasty. Yes, the mugs are stained with tannin from the tea, maybe they could buy new ones more often. I drink tea at home and it is definitely hard to get the stain off, so that’s when it’s time to replace them. We didn’t eat any other meals here during our stay, although I was a little disappointed as the Pakarang Restaurant was closed for renovations during our entire stay. Happy hour was from 5pm to 6.30pm daily. Our room was cleaned daily and we had to put the towels in the bath when we wanted them changed, you are supplied with x2 white towels for the shower and x2 green towels for the pool and we were allowed to take these on tour as well (obviously you would be asked to pay replacement cost if you lost them). There was a price list already in the room, I broke a glass accidently and they contacted us the next evening and I was happy to pay the 50baht price asked (I have read about this in other hotels in Thailand and that when checking out people have been asked to cover the breakage costs are less than impressed). I think I was on a mission this trip as I broke another glass at our hotel in Phuket as well. The “rain “ shower in the bathroom was brilliant and the water pressure and temperature were ideal. The pool was brilliant, (we have now become totally addicted to “pool access rooms” as this was the 2nd time we have stayed in one), water temperature was perfect (for me anyway), there was plenty of sun during the day time, pool loungers were readily available (might need more in high season). We did discover the blue grout around the tiles, but it does wash off easily, not sure what can be done in the short term, but once we were aware of it, we just avoided touching the tiles. The pool was the same depth all the way around (over 1 metre) . There wasn’t much to keep kids amused, but majority that were staying there the same time as us, were either quite young (requiring floaters and direct adult supervisison) or that little bit older and seemed to enjoy themselves. There was work going on while were there, not sure if it was renovations – I thought maybe they were still applying some of the finishing touches from the original build. It didn’t bother us, just gave us the usual amusement at the safety standards in Thailand (or should I say “lack of”). Another thing that was particularly great for us was the free WIFI available in our room, so we could use our own laptop, we just needed a code from the reception area. Of course along with “pool access rooms” this had become another requirement for future hotel wants. Overall we would be happy to return to Sala Talay if we visit Krabi again in the future.	Sawadee were very helpful during the 6 months leading up to our trip, especially as I sent them on a merry goose chase while trying to decide which hotel we stayed at in Krabi
Mohamad Razali Izham 2009-06-22	Sala Talay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang, Nopparattara Beach its good. the beach on aonang area is much much much better the pool need more proper maintenance if hotel can provide muslim food would be better	ok
Fiona Robinson 2009-06-19	Sala Talay Resort & Spa, Ao Nang, Nopparattara Beach We were very disappointed with this hotel. It has only been open since December 2008 and already renovation work is being carried out on it to some of the rooms on the top floor. The design of the hotel is very modern and minimalistic and if you didn t know it was a hotel, you would have thought, from looking at the hotel from the road, that it was an unfinished building. There was no proper sign outside the hotel either. Most travellers visiting Thailand like to see Thai style buildings and we were disappointed with this, as we have been to Thailand many times and thought this style did not show off the wonderful Thai culture to travellers from other countries. The design is very poor with flat roofs which cause problems when it rains. We had nearly solid monsoon rain for two days and the roof leaked in reception, behind the reception area and also the restaurant upstairs. The rooms are very bare because of the design and there is not enough space to store clothing. The hanging space is okay, but there is no proper area (shelves/drawers) for smaller items of clothing. The room we had (Grand Seaview Deluxe) was a good size, but lacked any personality. Fresh bed linen was provided when you requested, as was the same for towels and beach towels. The staff were very friendly, helpful and were always prepared to assist you, but most of them had very little knowledge of the English language which made things difficult at times and English is a commonly spoken language across the world. The hotel was very clean, you couldn t fault that at all. The breakfast facilities are very limited in the low season, because the number of guests is a lot lower than in the high season. The wireless Internet connection was awful and we often could not get connected to the signal as it was so low, so that needs to be sorted out too. It is called a beach front hotel, but although the beach is just across the road, it is not wide enough to use as an alternative area to sunbathe. The best beach is in the next bay at Ao Nang and there are lots of restaurants, bars and shops there too and it is only about a 10 minute walk from the hotel. Also it is called Sala Talay Resort and Spa, but there was no spa and they advertise in their brochure as having a kids club, but there was no kids club either. I hope the hotel does make some changes, otherwise it will struggle to survive. You don t expect to see repairs being made to a brand new hotel and I hope this doesn t put guests off and stop them recommending it to others. I hope this review assists others when making a choice of their hotel accommodation.
