About the hotel: The hotel was beautiful. This is not the first time I ve come and definately not the last. The hotel is right up at the top of the island, away from everyone. It s like you have the whole beach to yourself!
About the hotel: Excellent resort and private beach. Very Zen. Loved the location and this was my second visit in a year there. Its quiet and stunning. The beach is pristine and water fabulous. A bit too $$ in these economic crisis times though but lovley. It is a delightful and totally relaxing place to stay and the best on Koh Samet and I recommend it to everyone. It would be good if they had push bikes on hire and cheaper kayaks. But otherwise brilliant. Make sure you ask for fresh coffee at breakfast otherwise theyll give you nescafe!
About the reservation service: Very good booking service and very efficient.
About the hotel: Excellent hotel. It was all that their website promised. Wonderful unique atmosphere, one had privacy while having the service always available. Frindly staff. I will be back to this resort and can recommend it.
About the reservation service: Very good, prompt and professional. Will use it again.
About the hotel: I can see this resort as being a very romantic spot with better weather than the rainy season offers travellers at this time of the year. Accommodations were spaceous and comfortable and memorable in terms of the unique touches in the luxury bungalows, situated a stone s throw away from the beach. Had a nice peaceful time here. Staff were very friendly and service oriented. I liked the local ferryboat that took us visitors back to the mainland. Very convenient.
About the reservation service: the booking service system indicated that the first choice I had made for a hotel on Koh Samed was not available, so I took this as a working option.
About the hotel: Although a nice resort, it is not worth the money spent. It is a nice quiet area, but the 4 to 5K baht that they charge is just too expensive. The resort itself closes at 10pm (didn t mention this when we dropped off our keys, so came home at 10.30 to a closed reception without our room keys...), there are no tv s in the rooms, no bathtub, just the private outdoor shower (not always convenient when it rains) and generally there is just not much to do at or around the resort.
The food at the restaurant, although not bad, is too expensive for what you get, and better food can be had much cheaper at other parts of the island. Has to be said that the service of the staff is generally good and friendly.
The resort is far away from the main bar/restaurant area at Had Sai Kiew/Ao Phai, and with a taxi between 200 and 300 baht 1 way, it s inconveniently located if you don t want to spend the whole day at the resort and not spend a big chunk of your budget on taxi fares.
All in all just not worth the expenses. Would consider going again if they would lower their prices with 2/3rd.
About the reservation service: Booking with Sawadee.com was quick and efficient as always.
About the hotel: Rooms were nice, clean and quiet. The staff was nice. The food was good (fairly expensive on the island). The beach was only OK--no real waves--and it is a long walk to a better beach. I would recommend this hotel.
About the hotel: I canNOT recommend this hotel.
While the hotel is very nice, individual bungalows at the beach and all such, there are several drawbacks:
1. Sandflies ! I got over a hundred bites still itching after a week (and doctor visit to get steroid cream and anti-histamin)
2. High season price, but I was the only guest !!!
3. Although est. 20 people working there very slow service during dinner (esp. drinks)
4. Overall some more maintenance necessary, especially the wood terraces and such did not see paint or nuturing oil for years
5. Sea view bungalow means that you can view the sea by looking at photos when you are in your room. Only beachview bungalows are really nice.
6. The rooms are way too small for the high price. Not even TV or radio.
About the hotel: Very small hotel with small and old rooms, towels are not good, a lot of mosquitos and insects at the beach. But stuff is very friendly and restaurant is good.
About the hotel: very charming and nice resort- we had a great time there! i would recommand it for couples who want to spend a quiet and romantic time together!
transportation was no problem - you can rent a scooter to go to diamond beach or you take a taxi!
lima coco and ao phrao resort are also nice but the beach is quite small there!

design - combining the best materials with the elements of nature -
provides Mooban Talay Resort
with its original identity. The attention given to the slightest details
adds a touch making each room unique. Art lovers will especially appreciate
the genuine aesthetic, a bond to the "Pra Apai Manee" legend, displayed
in every room.
The consciousness of space provided is one of the main
highlights of the bungalow. The terrace, wide and open air, is in fact
an ideal place for relaxing on your own or share quality time.
Entering the guestroom, a large tatami placed
on a stage, facing the main window; enhances a feeling of openness
already present through the discrete but generous lighting. Quality
cotton fabrics are used for the bed linen to ensure a good night
rests, one to remember.
Following, the bathroom and its glass doors
leads you to the amazing open-air shower. Capture the simple feeling
of a shower together with the elements of nature...
These characteristics will make you feel immediately comfortable.
Adding modernity to the artist's insight and for your
best comfort, all our bungalows are equipped with air condition and
mini-bar. All the amenities expected are available and tastefully set
out in a natural way.

some surprises for you to have the pleasure to to find out why we are

Sport
Our Sport and Recreational Center is by nature mainly
oriented to the water sports and is fully part of the dream to live
by the sea.
However we aim at living by the sea, we wish to cater
all our guests and have also prepared several Resort' daily programs
for you to fit in whenever you wish (morning jogging, beach volley,
etc.).
As a village, usually everyone as a guest or Resort staff participates
in these activities.
- Sea canoe
- Snorkeling tour
- Jet skiing
- Water-skiing
- Wake boarding
- Knee boarding
The Sport Center emphasized its development on the challenging and
fun giving WAKEBOARD and aims at being a complete training and practicing
center for both beginners and advanced boarders. Usually practiced on
lake due to the need of mirror-like flat water, the location of the
Resort provides the opportunity to practice it on the sea surface due
to the extremely sheltered area of the Resort that offers extremely
quiet water almost all year round.

Our primary interest is to make sure our guests feel comfortable
and relaxed in this "second home".
For this reason we dedicate
our services in providing personal attention to all who visit us.

Location Map
Koh Samed is located in the Gulf of
Thailand, 200km South East from Bangkok. The island has a great influence
in the Thai culture due to the famous "Pra Apai Manee" legend written
by renowned poet Sunthorn Poo in the late 19th century. Koh Samed is
also the closest island from Bangkok where tourists, locals and tired
souls escape to relax and enjoy some good times amid the nature.
From Bangkok you can hire a private taxi, minibus or
take the public bus (Ekkamai bus station). The new highway offers ideal
accessibility and your short 2 hours journey will take you to the pier
at Ban Phe, opposite to Koh Samed.
