Rajamangala Pavilion Beach Resort, Songkhla, Samila Beach
Lovely hotel with friendly, helpful staff (not many understand English though so was difficult explaining our requests and didn t always get what we asked for, but we got by). We stayed in a Superior Room which was clean and nicely furnished (simple & tasteful). Bathrooms were clean with spacious shower cubicles. The cable TV, mini-bar and free wi-fi all added to the relaxing feel. Would ve been great if rooms had its own tea/coffee facilities. Architecture and decor of hotel lobby & lounge is lovely - traditional Thai/colonial.
The restaurant, The Chalatat, however could do with a bit of a revamp, i.e chairs would benefit from a reupholster, table mats & centrepieces should be replaced and stage area could do with a revamp as well. Other than that, the restaurant has a nice feel to it and food, we thought, was okay - not too much variety though. Had just one meal there and two breakfasts.
Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing, pleasant stay in Songkhla. It s positoned right across the street from beautiful Samila beach - long stretches of white sand and beautiful warm Gulf waters. Stunning, peaceful place with a real opportunity to interact with the locals.
Booking service was fast and efficient. Got a prompt response to my enquiry. No problems on check-in. Will definitely use this service again.

Exceptional value for money. Stayed in a first floor poolside room which was huge. The breakfast was pretty average but more than adequate and the staff were helpful and very friendly, Situated on the beach road and within walking distance of many local restaurants , this hotel comes highly reccomended.
As always , spot-on. Keep up the good work

The resort was professional run. The service was excellent. The staff courteous. I enjoyed meeting and talking with other guests.
I resort is a little isolated from the others parts of town. I had to get a ride everywhere or it was a long walk.
It would have been nice to know about the morning exercise program down at the stadium at 6 AM. I would have taken a advantage of it when I arrived.
Thanks
