Tamarind Twin Resort

Nice hotel, clean, well organized, decent location a few minutes from the beach. I may go back

Spent 4 wonderful nights at Tamarind. Staff are so polite and welcoming. Our room was a little small and the design a bit odd however over aspects of our stay made this not feel like a problem. Close to the beach. Has use of a really clean pool. The restaurant on site Is really good, cheap, big menu! You can book tours, hire bikes, they arranged our ferry back and taxi for us. I would definitely return. Amazing Value.

Tucked back off the road, down a lane that looks questionable, sits the Tamarind Twin. It is a small (8 room) property next door to a larger "resort." The rooms at the Tamarind are larger than the resort's and much newer. The rooms are neat and tidy. They have everything you need, but nothing more. There is hot water in the shower, though not a lot of flow. The only real short-coming is the reception staff. They are sort of "meh, so what." Check in was iffy and check out was even iffier. I wasn't sure they were expecting me until I looked at their primitive check in sheet and found my name for them. On checking out, they weren't sure if I had pre-paid or not. (I had) But other than that, I was happy with the place. There is food available nearby if you are brave enough to walk around and find it. The 40 baht per kilo laundry service is a plus. There is no included breakfast and that is the biggest hurdle.

Service is not good. I tried emailing them and WhatsApp messaging for up to a week in advance with no response. As we were due to arrive after 8 PM and their website said if you’re arriving after eight to let the staff know because there wouldn’t be anybody at the front desk so we weren’t sure what we were going to come into turns out there was somebody there thankfully the pool is really great nice and big. We didn’t pay for breakfast as part of our room rate, but there was a restaurant on site so when we went to try and eat breakfast, we asked if we could eat there. They speak zero English and did not seem to want to communicate with us. but they didn’t seem to have a problem with us grabbing a plate and eating at the buffet when we tried to pay them they acted like we were doing something weird so we just left when we tried to check out. We ask them if they could call a taxi or a tuck tuck for us and they said oh you can just walk. Your next resort is only about a kilometre away. That would be fine if it wasn’t 40° outside with suitcases dragging down the sidewalk I would not recommend this place service is terrible.
