Baanmontra Beach Resort - Bankrut

Used booking.com to make the reservation. Location shown on booking.com is adjacent to Ban Krut Resort, on the main beachfront street. In reality, Bannmontrabeach Resort is 2 miles north of the main beachfront street. Be careful if you want to stay in town.

Dear all, I just spent 3 nights in this hotel. The swimming pool is definitely great and room quiet good but expensive. The breakfast is more then bad, with bad smell. The staff doesn't care anything when we are Farang. Please come here with Thai people. At the end, they don't look at you, they don't thank you for the 10.000 you gave them for 3 nights. Just no have any respect of the foreigners. But it's OK, the snakes are very friendly there.....

Lovely quiet resort right on the beach front. Quaint little rooms which were a reasonable size and included a water boiler and fridge. The bathroom was a good size and included an outdoor shower as well as an indoor one. Beachfront rooms are a lot more luxurious but also more costly. There were quite a few mosquitos and because the bathroom windows did not shut properly we could not keep them out. The pool was a good size with some sun and shaded loungers which were a pleasant break. The beach was fabulous unspoiled and very quiet. But beware of the tides as the waves were very strong when we visited and the beach dropped off quickly. Delicious food was available n the restaurant. There is an excellent temple a short distance away which is a must see for its unusual stained glass windows but not a lot else to do in the local area so if you don't want to sit on the beach or by the pool then you are very limited. We stayed two nights and that was great - could probably have done three but then would need to move on.. Best of all were the helpful staff who did everything to make our stay the best it could be. Our son had recently married in Thailand registry office and we wanted to hold a celebration dinner. The young lady in the restaurant was excellent and with only a day’s notice decorated the area and table with fresh flowers and arranged a cake. She even swept the beach so we could take photos! Some areas of the resort are a little shabby and could do with updated.
