Baan Sailom Resort

Breakfast is ordered off a menu at the restaurant across from the hotel, so don't expect a buffet. The pool is small but nice, and the only real downside for us was the occasional sewer smell. Still, it's a great affordable stay, with comfortable rooms, amazing and consistently friendly staff, and an excellent location. Karon Beach is about a five-minute walk away, in a very family-friendly area.

We had the corner room above reception, with a really big balcony that was great for sitting outside. The bed was generous in size and comfortable, and the room was spacious. The pool looked inviting and was lovely to swim in. Housekeeping came every day. We spent five nights here and liked the calm, relaxing area. It's close to the beach and plenty of restaurants. We'd happily stay again.

The hotel feels a little dated, but the beach is right at your feet and there's an amazing restaurant. One of the best places I've stayed.

The pool was our favourite on the whole trip. It's small, but never crowded, so we could cool off and relax properly. The frog sounds people mention are there, though you can tune them out pretty easily, and they don't go on all night. We generally liked the hotel. Our room was clean, and when the balcony door wouldn't lock at first, they fixed it straight away. Breakfast and the restaurant were okay.
