We had planned a couple of days at Hat salad only but extended our stay to 6! And never made it to the other side of the island. Hat salad resort is just perfect for families right on the beach but with a very pleasant pool.

The restaurant staff was very helpful and made a series of animal pancakes our daughter will remember! Flowers, rabbits, sea-horses, you name it, they make it! The breakfast buffet is plentiful facing the ocean and the view is magnificent.

Our daughter quickly found out where to drink the best coconut, eat the best spaghetti and have the best ice-cream and visited all the hotel pools with the children she paired with. It was the first time my husband and I could go diving without thinking twice as she was busy all day.

The hotel was located on a little bay that had maybe 10 other very small resorts. Salad Beach Resort was the most beautiful. The staff were outstanding, the food was great and so were the prices. At night they do a beautiful dinner on the beach, lit with candles... very romantic.
The grounds were beautifully kept and the pool was open all night (most others close at 8pm). Spa was great and affordable as well.
The beach outfront was also fantastic. It was very shallow so great for small children and it had great snorkling too.
The only thing to be aware of is that there isn't a ton around. A few shops but other then that it is a bit secluded.

We were 5 of us who booked two room there during Full moon party on 16 july and 17 july. When we entered the hotel we couldnt see any CCTV cameras in the corridors but we ignored the same . on 17th night (during full moon party ) when we people were out of room , the staff members stole money from our baggages . We kept our money inside the baggage which was difficult to find unless someone has watched u closely keeping it, so we suspect they have installed spy cams in room . on 17th evening before going to full moon party all of us have kept the money inside the bag and Locked the bags for security . whole night we were paertying out and on 18th afternoon we checked out for pattaya. When we reached pattaya we found the money from our bags were stolen . from all five of us. We reported the same to the Police station at pattaya and registered a Complain there . though we wont get our money back , But stil I recommend all the people not to go FOr SALAD BEACH RESORT....we are very sure that no one except them has done this job coz except for full moon party time we kept our bag with us. We even called up the management of hotel but due to language problem we couldnt fight with them clearly. I highly recommend Trip advisiors readers to Take care and better not to opt for SALAD BEACH RESORT. The room was booked in the name of Mitul.
