Taling Ngam Holidays

Overall i was happy with my stay. We had one of the private pool villas and it was totally worth it. The sunrise in the morning was great as it came up just opposite us. Nice views of the sea etc. For this alone I was very happy. The breakfast was good enough. The egg station was good. A reasonable amount of choice and you can sit outside with a nice view when having breakfast. The main pool is ok but no one seemed bothered to clean around it (people left rubbish etc). This hotel has its own little part of the beach but it's not the best part. I didn't use it. The staff were good. Overall it's a nice place. FYI it's a 4 star hotel not 5. Perhaps if i had not gone for the private pool villa i would not be so happy with my stay but i did so.

Absolutely incredible room and private pool patio. Staff was so helpful and kind!

Absolutely gorgeous and a great stay. Pros: Newer, reserved clean beach, pool in room, spacious, quiet, safety, helpful staff Cons: Mainland access, very slow service at beach cafe (except Tony Da, he was awesome), housekeeping oversights We were upgraded upon arrival from ocean view villa to the horizon view and that’s got to be the best villa. Incredibly gorgeous view, very private shielded, stairs down to private sofa at dock, pretty sunlight near dusk. The pool is shallow (3.5 ft) and stayed perfectly clean. The room is large with great air conditioning and the big bed was very comfortable. We requested 2 beds far in advance of our stay and only upon arrival learned that 1 would be a metal cot. Unfortunately the metal cot was painful and smelled mildewy. We asked housekeeping to make up the sofa instead, but those sheets had a stain of something dark and sticky. The bathroom is very spacious with 2 closets and 2 sink spaces on either side. The shower was large but needed to be cleaned more thoroughly around the bottom edges as there was dark buildup . Please be aware that shower water gets unsafely hot. The island is hilly but they offer buggy rides (very easy to ask). Daytime there’s a small 4 person boat for the 2-3 min journey from the mainland, it can be dirty and on our last day our luggage got soaked. At night there’s a tall truck that’s much easier. There’s a busy beach club across the water (semi-walkable through low water). Breakfast is PHENOMENAL!!
