Casuarina Resort, Petchburi, Puktien Beach
Very good comfort, quiet, large beach with poor sand quality, the whole place a bit sterile, poor garden, very poor service (we had to look for chairs ourselves and move them to the table that lacked chaiirs), poor restaurant / food quality, overpriced. Maybe these were the reasons why we were only 6 guests in the resort. The pictures in the internet are misleading. Would *not* return.
Perfect.

Well we fell in love with this place straight away the villa tired but the contrast to the mess and noise of Cha-am main hotel strip. it was not a bother the beach was clean the pool just right. and it was only busy at the weekend. I liked the quietness and remoteness of this location. it was great for a few away with the kids. the restuarant really is not geared up for farangs this is a Thai resort so having a thai wife helped. But for al this they then distroyed our good faith in this hotel after we left when the then phoned up to say that they had miss calculated the room service bill. by a 1000 baht and can we pay it straight away. My wife decided that yeah fair enough, whilst it was not our fault looking at the bill we had not been charged for a large meal on our final night. took the detail of the account to payit in. and informed them that when we had the chance we deposit the money as we were touring the country. well hotel kept phoning up us to ask why we hadn t payed it and then if they could get us they were phoning our drivers number!!!!!
so to conclude They have the opportunity to be a great little resort but in my opinion they dont deserve it...
no probs as always.

When selecting any place to stay on the internet it’s “Buyer Beware”, however the exception would be Casuarina Resort located at Puk-Tien, Thayang, Petchburi.
This boutique resort is located about 25 minutes north of Cha-am in a quite and secluded area on Puk-Tien Beach. From the moment you arrive you get a great feeling, you are checked-in by the friendly and efficient staff and taken to your clean and modern bungalow (I stayed in a Garden View). The resort’s facilities, service and food are of the highest quality.
I agree with the review posted by Daphne Yu and I too would recommend this wonderful resort to anyone considering a relaxing holiday or just a weekend away from bustling Bangkok.
Good, minor problem in understating sesonal sucharge after intital booking was completed.

The Casuarina Resort was NOT as expected. There were NO facilities for tourists, no ATM s, no taxi s, no supermarket, no sport facilities etc.
The pool area was small and no service at all. Many time we have had problems with the air condition. Finally we have to move to a other bungalow. This ist not a right place for foreign tourits.
Everything works fine and quick

This hotel was fabulous. The layout is spacious and the sea front is beautiful. There are no vendors on the beach and it is remote, so it felt quiet and very pleasant. The swimming pool is great and excellent for children as well as adults. The staff was very helpful. A few times we made some complaints and immediately they solved any requests we had. The food at the restaurant was very good, which was important as there is no other places to eat around. We have been to many placed in Thailand and this is one of our favorite. The garden bungalows were nice. One thing could be improved is the possibility to get a cheap or free shuttle to Cha am, as this is remote and as there are no buses. I would without hesitation recommend this wonderful resort.
