Benjatara Boutique Place Resort

For the price, it’s convenient, and there is a simple breakfast. Just don’t expect a VIP room to feel very VIP. Music near the VIP block was loud until midnight. My room was a little dirty and short on attention to detail. The bed and shower were okay, and the TV was basic with no international channels.

I’ve never stayed anywhere dirtier. Calling this a hotel or resort doesn’t change how bad it was, and it felt like a health hazard. Stay at your own risk. Even a two-star hotel would be better.

The breakfast was disappointing too. It was only a little warm, and the cucumber slices looked dried out, like they’d been sitting for three days. We’d asked for quiet when booking the VIP Deluxe room, but music started at 21:00 and we could still hear it outside because the doors wouldn’t close properly. The room itself was old, with dirt in the corners, noisy bathroom ventilation, and a TV in poor condition (see image). Service came without a smile. The bed felt old and itchy, so we used the towels to manage to sleep. As a couple, I really wouldn’t recommend this hotel. There are better options.

We got a spacious, comfortable room with a small dressing area that made it easy to keep clothes in order. The air conditioning worked well against the heat, and the flat-screen TV had plenty of channels for relaxing. Breakfast was included in the 500 THB price and was delicious, a great way to start the day. I had a wonderful stay and highly recommend it.
