Ban Tai Beach

Not a beach property. Can access ocean but no beach. Old dirty pool. Dated rooms. Needs updating desperately. Breakfast exact same every day. Staff very friendly. Near town. Property itself is ALL HILLS and STAIRS so be warned. Food is very bland . Very basic

Used to be an amazing nice hotel and In immaculate condition when it was run by Les Meridian. We had stayed there multiple times pre-COVID. Now it’s looking very dated, nothing to do in the hotel (they used to run little events- cooking lessons etc..). Now there’s really nothing to do there. The beach front is dirty and full of litter, plastic and dead fish. This small beach area in front of the hotel used to be cleaned regularly and this is no longer the case. I see other hotels cleaning their beach area daily - this hotel does not. Also Lamai and the immediate area around the hotel also seems to have not recovered from Covid - places we used to go to are gone etc.. All this and they still charge what Les Meridian charged when it’s not as good seems unreasonable. This was our third and last time we will stay there - which is a shame. No fault of the staff and people working there- they are brilliant, just seems to be the people running it trying to do it on the cheap.

It is a lovely hotel - very peaceful and quiet which we liked particularly and the staff are excellent
