Best Hotels with Pools in Baan Grood Beach | Private, Shared & Infinity Pools

"Great food in the village for cheap money. Skip the touristy places at the beach for food. Local market on town is great. Hotel : Staff is super friendly, place itself a little bit expensive. English is not the best but they have a great heart for guests."

"Stayed 2 weeks in one of the beautiful villas, surrounded by lawn and garden- excellent for the children to play in. Room was really beautiful too! Great location by the beach and walking distance to cafes and shops. Really good pool too, which had some space in the shadow too, great to cool down with the kids. Most of the time we were the only people there, so felt like a private pool. Pool was impeccably clean. Staff was friendly but lacking in English, which is common everywhere in Ban Krut, but that did not really pose a problem. Although one on the employees was fluent in English so we mostly communicated with her. For some reason hotel did not answer my e-mails beforehand, maybe because of the language barrier. Customers can freely use bicycles, which is a great activity in the village. Bikes are rusty and old but that even adds the charm :-) All in all, probably the most beautiful and paradise-like resort I have ever been to. "

"This was a nice surprise in Ban Krut! The hotel is new and clean and the room had a contemporary look. Great wifi and I could see the beach from my bed. (3rd floor rooms have the best view) Very nice, friendly (but not over-friendly) staff, and great location at the Beach Cross Roads. Also very quiet - my only niggle is that the walls must be very thin, I could hear everything from the next room. I also would prefer if guests weren't allowed to smoke on the balcony which spoiled an otherwise magical evening star watching for me. But in general, this is a nice new find in Ban Krut, and I loved my long walks along the very windy beaches. Will come back!"

"The staff are very friendly and the room comfortable enough, but I don't really like the design of the resort. There are a number of small swimming pools and I'd rather have one large pool. We were in a bungalow which had, I think, 5 other close bungalows in a semi circle around a small pool. There is no privacy on your balcony or in your room, without closing the curtains. There are also design problems inside the bungalows, for instance the bathroom mirror has been set so low on the wall that to see myself I had to bend over, and I'm not tall! By no means the worst experience, but I'd look elsewhere next time."

"Due to rebranding, part of hotel is under some renovation i.e. swimming pool, room and unfortunately, we have problem with running water in the morning and it took few hours to resolve around 10 am. Breakfast is simple, not like other D Varee. "

"The hotel rooms are basic, a single bedroom with a half open roofed toilet and shower bathroom tacked onto the back of the room. We loved the fact you could shower and look at the sky, tree tops etc above, reminded us of past holidays in Africa. The rooms were clean, bed comfortable, airconditioner fine, fridge and TV but didn't turn it on. Beach walks and bobbing around the pool with a pinacolada was far more inviting then watching TV. The breakfast was a choice of cornflakes, eggs (fried or scrambled), sausages and ham, toast and jam, fruit, tea, coffee, fruit juice, all in all fine. They have a nice selection of dishes on the menu for lunch and evening as well. We dined most nights up the beach a bit, at some lovely little restaurants and a couple of flash ones as well, in Baan Grood, where it is a little busier, catering for big bus tour groups and more people. This is about 3 - 4kms up the same beach the Rachavadee sits on. We would happily stay there again, don't expect 5 star, expect peace and tranquility in spades."

"You are not going to find better accomodation in Ban Krut (or even all of Thailand). The host Boon is really lovely! She helped us with everything and looked after us like a mother. The bungalows are perfectly located near the beach and a beautiful pool area. They are also extemly clean and have a wonderful garden. We are definititely going to come back to visit you Boon! Thank you very much!"

"I arrived around 9pm after the Bangkok train was delayed by a couple of hours. I had to wait a while to check in as the guy on the front desk called for the one English speaker. I wasn't aware of what we were waiting for so it was a bit disconcerting. The room was clean and comfortable. The first night was noisy until about 11 or 12pm due to karaoke blaring out from a beach cafe. It was a weekend night, though. It was quiet the rest of my stay. The check-in area/restaurant was often occupied by what I later discovered was management, but they were reluctant to move and just shouted for the other staff. On check-out, I was told to pay and couldn't explain - due to language difficulties - that I had already paid when I booked online. Eventually, the man phoned the English speaker who seemed to think that I wanted to pay by credit card! After explaining and her checking, I was able to go. The man gave me a lift back to the station free of charge which I appreciated. "
