Fodor's Expert Review Baan Talay Resort

Bungalows huddled around a shimmering pool are the focal point at Baan Talay, but the real reasons to stay here are the few rooms just a stone's throw from the beach. All the resort's accommodations—including additional ones scattered around the gardens—are minimalist in design, but are furnished with the expected modern conveniences. The open-front restaurant and bar, both facing the surf, are prime places to unwind after a day of water sports.
