Explore Thailand’s Sam Roi Yot From The Cute Pineapple Resort

Choice of rooms for different budgets

Pineapple Resort offers two main room types; the more you pay, the more space you have! Most of the rooms are in semi-detached bungalows; each has its own private front door and terrace, but shares an adjoining wall with another bungalow.

The rooms start at 500 THB (approximately 14 USD) per night, with larger rooms for 700 THB (approximately 19 USD) per night. The cheaper rooms have a double bed and can accommodate two people. The more expensive rooms can sleep up to three guests in a double bed and a single bed.

Good room facilities for comfort and convenience

All rooms have air-conditioning, great for keeping cool in the hot Thai climate! Cable TV, a full-size refrigerator, and free Wi-Fi make your stay even more comfortable. The Wi-Fi signal / strength may fluctuate a fair bit, sometimes working well and other times being practically useless.

The double bed is reasonably comfortable and looks rather appealing thanks to the clean, bright, and cheery bed linen. Bathrooms are clean with hot water showers. A small wooden shelving unit provides space to keep your belongings. The double rooms are fairly small, but, realistically, with a beach and national park almost right on the doorstep, how much time would you likely to be cooped up indoors?!

There is plenty of space to sit outside on the terrace, with wooden chairs and long, wide tiled benches.

Other resort facilities and pretty grounds

The resort is really easy to spot, thanks to an enormous pineapple that sits proudly at the front. Whilst the purpose of the giant fruit wasn’t entirely clear, it did appear that it may have once been used as a cool holiday rental. It was, sadly, empty at the time of stay.

Car-parking is available outside each room and the stretching grounds are filled with an abundance of attractive flowers, trees, and plants.

A small selection of drinks and snacks is available to buy from the main reception building, although this was closed at the time of stay. This resort is perhaps a bit livelier during the area’s peak tourist season (November to February).

Close proximity to the beach

You can see the soft white sands and hear the gentle lapping of the waves from the resort. As you walk out of the main entrance, you just need to cross to the other side of the road to feel the sand between your toes and enjoy the seaside. It really is incredibly close!

The sea is suitable for swimming and there are several beach-side restaurants along the sands. Seafood dishes are particular popular, with items like Tom Yam Gung (spicy prawn soup), crab omelet, grilled fish, and fried rice with mixed seafood commonly munched on.

Small fishing boats bob on the waves and a few long tail boats sit on the sands, waiting to carry people by sea to the majestic Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park. Prices largely depend on your negotiation skills, group size, time of year, and whether or not there is high or low demand. You should expect to pay around 1,000 THB (approximately 27.50 USD) for a return trip to the national park, including visiting some of the smaller islands, mangroves, and waiting time for your explorations.
