Hótel - Suður-Taílandi, Taíland

We stayed at Tala Salay during two nights in mid-May. Upon arrival the staff greeted us with cooling drinks and wet towels - which we thought was a very welcoming gesture. Throughout the entire stay every single member of the staff was thoroughly dedicated and provided excellent service. We were upgraded to a pool access room which we were at first cautious about - as everyone on the pool bank could see directly into our room this proved to be less of an issue as the hotel had only guests staying is such rooms. However during the high season with the pool area packed this could be a privacy issue for some people. The rooms themselves are well equipped, the style is minimalistic (we found the style to be scandinavian) and may not suit everyone. The pool area is excellent, long and deep enough to swim in it, and the guys at the pool bar serve excellent drinks during the daytime. The breakfast is served on second floor, in an open space above the lobby, and was of high quality and vast selection of items. However there is one issue we did encounter at the hotel restaurant when we had dinner. The portions of food the present are miniscule - even a frenchman would stare in disbelief at the plate. We ordered ravioli and gorganzola steak (it is an Italian themed restaurant). The steak was no more than two small mouthful pieces (50gr max) and the ravioli dish contained five small pieces of ravioli -the size of a small appertizer rather than a main course. The food was however cooked to perfection and delicious. Our second night, needless to say, we choose to walk to Ao Nang beach (10m walk) and had our dinner elsewhere.. Overall we highly recommend this hotel for the overall ambiance and service.
