That's not the place run by Den, Ex security guard of Geralds (The Jewelers)...well if it is, then ok a few yews ago.......imagine its a dump now.

Skaw beach hotel has 2 sections and is in a fairly central location . Stayed in the newer section about 3 years ago and it was ok.The older section is probably looking a little tired by now. But i think you could find better and newer hotels at a cheaper price.

I stayed there with my wife & daughter a few years back. It had just been renovated. Rooms were clean & fairly large, but the balcony was very low. Don't let your children go out onto it alone.

They charged us B790 in Oct '02, don't know what it costs nowadays. Last time we stayed at Sandy Spring & Lek hotels. Much better imo.

But the worst thing about the Skaw Beach was the surly reception staff.

That was on my list for an elderly couple on a budget. they want to stay 1 month so can't be over 1200 b and they want air con, pool, t.v., fridge and hopefully brekkie.

Walking distance to beach.

Don't like the idea of unfriendly staff........could you recommend anything else please?

Apologies if you have already read my post....i just spotted the skaw name and knew it was on my list.

Skaw is a fair trek to the beach , as it's beyoind the 2nd Road.

I would say Tropicana Hotel , 700-900 baht per room , a bit run down , but friendly enough with a decent pool , a few restaurants and air-con, brekkie , etc , is a decent choice for the older couple.

There's cheaper Hotels about but this place doesn't attract the more gregarious type of toursit IMO.

That sounds good.......do you know if there is a web site or contact details for booking?

Thanks so much.

Tuberose, if theyre staying for a month they should try to get a monthly rate. This works out way cheaper than paying the daily rate.

You can get wELCOME PLAZA for 600 a night prob with brekkie 700

ok hotel big pool etc
