"What a wonderful resort. We had a pool access room and loved it. The room was spacious and well set out. The patio also generous. The pool depth at the room access was only 0.5m so made entry/exit easier. Staff were wonderful and the breakfast was also very good with nice tasting bacon, eggs any way to order and a great selection of other dishes.
Highly recommended"

"This resort is the older style bungalow type. Yes, it’s a little dated, but is well kept and exactly what I wanted. Traditional Thai beach bungalows at a good price.
Sheets were great, pool and grounds well kept by lots of staff. A great breakfast and lovely beach."

Resort was perfect in every way, our arrival very late 2.30am,staff very most helpful, and made us feel it was of no trouble what ever the time was! Suite was very comfortable, great having ironing board & iron. Pool incredible lots of time spent at Swim-up-bar. All staff need to be congratulated, never an un-smiling face. Olive Restaurant was our favourite, Pittays Suppanarm Executive Sous Chef, was incredible, best duck I have had in a long time. All other Restaurants were very good....

Bangsak Village is in a beautiful setting with amazing gardens. The pool is lovely with beach right in front. It is a very relaxing place with wonderful staff who go out of their way to help you. Rooms are tastefully decorated with plenty of room to stretch out. Outside sitting area was lovely too facing the gardens.

Our second visit in 11 months. It was another incredible, excellent and wonderfully relaxing stay. The staff are the friendliest (shout out to YaYa and team at the Beach Grill, M and Waan at the pool bar - thanks for the 'M Special' drink and Kath at reception whose english is excellent).
The food is excellent, drinks are very good, the pools are beautiful and the rooms are recently renovated and very comfortable.
We are planning our next trip! The slightest downer is the 1.5hrs drive...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Merlin.
The hotel is beautifully set in a jungle oasis, yet walkable to plenty of restaurants, bars and supermarkets in the nearby village as well as some great bars, cafes and massage parlours along the beach.
The room was very comfortable and spacious, although the jungle setting did mean it was a little more difficult to make good use of our balcony due to the mosquitoes and meant a few more bugs than normal seemed to get into our room and luggage....

Loved the atmosphere at this hotel because it was so peaceful all the time. The staff were always very helpful and the spa was fantastic. The eating options were good but the room service options were a bit limited. The deluxe pool room suite was perfect because it was great to be able to access the pool and sun bathe from the comfort of your room. The location right by the water was also fantastic and I can't wait to go back!

I have booked a Deluxe Room but we were upgraded to a Pool Villa. And it was fantastic!
Staff are lovely and the hotel is clean. We had a hire car, which helped, as the hotel is a little out of the way

Can highly recommend this hotel. We booked one of the individual cabins not right on the beach but just behind them and right next to the 3 long pools. We literally walked out of our cabin to the pool. It was a very short walk to the beach from there and we could still see the ocean from our cabin. We only ventured into town once and decided that the food at the hotel was of a similar price and better quality. We thoroughly enjoyed the hotel meals and the variety offered. If I have one...

This place is wonderful. Focused on couples who want to experience the best Thailand has to offer. Beyond Resort is 5 STARS at it's best. Villas are private and beautifully located. Staff are friendly and happy to cater for ALL your needs. Breakfast food is great and certainly more than you could as for. We loved the wonderful landscape and access to the beach.
There is daily evening entertainment. Please make sure you ask singing waiters Eddy and Alma to sing some of the Elvis Presley songs....

We ate , we swam and we relaxed. It's a lovely area, and the grounds are beautiful. A short (10 mins) pleasant walk to the main road where a lot of the restaurants and shops are, there is a free shuttle bus from the resort that will take you too. Thai massage at the spa was great. The food from the restaurant was fabulous. Our toddler had a really great time and we felt safe.

Our stay was an absolute delight. We booked on Expedia with no expectation and were very surprised when we arrived.
The room was very spacious with a very comfortable king bed and swim out pool.
Tip: eat at the local restaraunts on the beach because they have amazing seafood for very reasonable prices.

We stayed for 9 nights in villa unit in August 2015 with our 7 year old child. We loved every minute ! - What sets Kantary beach apart from every other hotel in Thailand is the hotel's staff. They are all genuinely friendly and helpful.
