Accommodation and facilities:
What a pleasant surprise and relaxing location. The resort is surrounded with lush landscaping and across a small lane, very little traffic, from the beach! Rooms were basic but very clean, staff were nice and helpful and the food for breakfast the normal buffet for this level of resort. I would recommend this place without any problem.
Reservation service:
without a problem but always make sure your dates are firm as there are no refunds if you have a booking change. A drawback with Sawadee.com, but still fine if you can live with that.

located on a wonderful, peaceful beach. nice and very clean bungalows with tv, frigde and free internet (reasonable speed), very friendly staff. the nightly stench from the sewer was the only downside, but that can happen even in a 5-star-resort. small village in the near with some modest shopping opportunities. if you re not looking for nightlife or jetski rental or crap like that- this is the perfect place to simply rest, read, sunbathe and enjoy the silence. even the dogs and cats are nice!

one word: perfect.

It s a great resort for the family vacation. We stayed there for 4days and 3 nights on week days. The 2 swimming pool were great. The breakfast was very good. The room and hotel facilities are very clean and orderly. A real value for money. The children love biking and temple Wat Khao Thonchai which was on top of the hill was lovely and just motorbike away about 5 mins driving. Lastly, the 10 kilometer beach was fantastic. Even though it is far away from Bkk (5 hrs plus), it was worth it. We will surely come back next schoo break.

Everithing was great, Bungalow are nice and clean, big enough. We took a family bungalow, it was perfect for 2 adults and 2 children, may be they should put the tv on the bedroom.The pools are very clean, great location - on the beach...The only bad thing is that there are nothing to do...No restaurants, no facilities.
Reservation service:
Very good communication.
You have to thing about the penalty of canselling of reservation. Everybody use one-night-charge when you can t go to the hotel. I thing that there is no correct to take a full payment for penalty. And if i m cancelling my reservation 2 month before the date - you should be give my money back. Next time i will not work with you

WE arrived at the resort after driving from Rayong (about 550km.) looking forward to a rest before continuing the next day for another 500 km. However, we met with a tour who decided to have a disco party (by permission of the management) in the open restaurant. We were given a room very close to this noise. We were told it would end at 11.00pm.; however, it DID NOT and the mangaement refused to do anything about the thumping row and screaming girls. Finally I had to stop the party.
I will NEVER recommend this resort to anyone and have told my friends the same story. I suggest that Sawadee remove this resort from their list.

Booking service is excellent.

The village of Ban Krut is maybe one of the best kept secrets in Thailand - at least to foreign tourist. When we told our guide at our hotel in Bangkok that we were going to Ban Krut, his reaction was Why at all do want to go there? . But we never regretted doing so, and the Baan Klang Aow was a true paradise to our family (2 adults + children 5 & 8). We got a bungalow just beside one of the pools which was just perfect. Everything was very well kept - from the bungalows and the housekeeping to the vegetation around the resort. For most weekdays, we were almost the only guests - whereas most guests, mostly Thai, arrived during the weekends. It was amazing.
Food is great and reasonably priced. Staff is very, very friendly. You get free internet access and free shuttle to/from the Train station and the Buddha statue. The beach looks great but the water is not too clear, so we stuck to the two swimmingpools at the resort. There s truly not much to see in the Ban Krut area, but if you just need a place to relax and enjoy yourself, Baan Klang Aow is perfect. And it s only half the trip from Bangkok to the more known gulf islands (Koh Samui etc.). Higly recommended!

Nice place located at Ban Krut beach about 1.5 hr south of Hua Hin. Had 2 bedroom seaview cottage which was fine for 2 adults and 2 children. Resort has 2 swimming pools and directly opposite the beach. Beach is clean and water is nice and warm.
Ban Krut and the resorts down here are mainly used by Thai holidaymakers, few foreigners venture here. It s quiet here except during long weekends and the Thai new year when the place becomes very busy.
Breakfast was good. The usual offerings. Evening meals were okay but not great. More vegetables than seafood on the plate at times.
Free use of internet here as well. Staff were polite and corteous and always willing to assist.
Overall a nice place to get away from it all and not commercialised like Hua Hin etc is now.
Just a final note - people can bring their dogs here when staying. There were quite a few when we stayed but i didn t hear any barking and all dogs were on leashes.

new booking office at Chidlom is a great idea for those living in BKK and wishing to pay by cash

Spotless, well cared for bungalows set in mature gardens, directly across from the sea. An unspoilt area of vast empty beaches. Only 300km from Phuket, but a million miles away in terms of tranquility. I loved it!

Efficient and easy - as always.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Baan Klang Aow Beach Resort. The staff was extremely friendly and efficient and went out of their way to make our stay memorable. They made each of us feel welcome. The beach was great -- clean, not crowded and very family friendly. We highly recommend this resort to families and those who want to be away from crowds, on a nice, clean, beautiful beach within driving distance from Bangkok.
Reservation service:
Booking was very efficient and helpful. Email response was very quick & our reservations were secured within an hour of contact.
