Rimnatee Resort Trang
Pool-centered family resort nine kilometres from the airport
About this hotel
Rimnatee reads as a resort built for families rather than a hotel that happens to allow them: the swimming pool sits at the centre of the layout, ringed by the terrace and garden that most rooms look onto. Family rooms come with a sofa bed and a balcony, enough space for a two-child stay without booking a second room, and the on-site restaurant serving Thai and international food removes the nightly question of where to eat with tired kids. A coffee shop and minimarket cover the gaps between meals, and the front desk runs around the clock for late check-ins after a flight into the city nine kilometres away. The clock tower and railway station both sit six to seven kilometres out, putting this resort closer to a car-based routine than a walkable old-town base.

Our take
Rimnatee suits families who want the pool as the centre of the stay rather than a bonus feature, with room service and a minimarket covering the logistics of travelling with kids. Couples chasing a walkable old-town base should look closer to the clock tower instead, since this resort sits several kilometres out and leans on car or taxi transfers for sightseeing.
- Book a pool-facing family room directly, the garden-side rooms cost less but lose the view
- Use the on-site restaurant for at least one dinner, it saves a transfer after a full day out
- Arrange a taxi for the clock tower rather than walking, it sits a car ride away at six kilometres
Why we love it
- Swimming pool at the centre of the resort
- Family rooms with a sofa bed
- On-site restaurant and coffee shop
- Free on-site parking
Why guests love itThree nights here worked well with two kids under ten: the pool kept everyone entertained through the hottest part of each afternoon, and the sofa bed in the family room meant no rollaway cot to wrestle with. The on-site restaurant's Thai menu was mild enough for picky eaters, and the minimarket covered snacks without a shop run. The six-kilometre distance to the clock tower meant taxis for sightseeing days, which added up but never felt inconvenient.
