Schaefer 2009-05-30	Chaweng Resort, Chaweng Beach Angenehmes Hotel, etwas älter und renovierungsbedürftig. Bungalows sehr geräumig und mit Free WiFi und zum Teil mit PCs ausgestattet (Deluxe). Personal sehr freundlich.	Hat alles super geklappt!
Kerstin Melinder 2009-04-29	Chaweng Resort, Chaweng Beach The standard bungalow is OK. Big toilet, clean, the bed was great!!! Stayd in bungalow 411. The pool is OK, breakfeast ok.. This is my first stay at Chaweng Beach. I like Lamai much better. Cheaper, smaller, cleaner. If you want to stay at Lamai I will recommend: Lamai Inn99 or Lamai Waanta. Both place are on the beach with pool.The beach is better on Chaweng, but thats it. Much cheaper and much better than Chaweng Resort..	Excellent!!!!!!
Yinon Gal 2009-04-12	Chaweng Resort, Chaweng Beach A very bad, unmaintained wooden bungalows, no water pressure on taps, no hot water, strong smell of sewege, leaking pipes. the staff were friendly and tried to help but couldnt.	booking was great.
Susanne Andersson 2009-03-12	Chaweng Resort, Chaweng Beach Nice hotel, big nice room, the bathroom was enormous, a lot of space. Clean. A bit old. The veranda was noise, the noise comes from the old AC, so not so nice to sit outside. Inside it was quiet. Stuff helpful and nice. If you wanted to have your room cleaned, you needed to turn a sign, a bit odd... The beach was very nice! We had a superior bungalow. We stayed for 5 nights. I would recommend this to all!	Easy, fast and good!
Ilona Ewa Loewnau 2009-03-09	Chaweng Resort, Chaweng Beach I booked standard bungalow with breakfats. We had bungalow number 604 located 2 steps from swimming pool and 5 steps from sunbeds and the beach. I absolutely loved it. Bungalow was cleaned every day and fresh towels have been delivered as well unless you did put the sing outside that you do not want it to be cleaned. Bungalow had a kettle, fridge and walk in shower with refilled shampoo and soap every day. It had plenty of channels in foreign languages. If you like to spend your holidays in the hotel or room you may not like it as it was just a standard one with bed and simply furniture. I personally loved it. We had a table with chairs outside so now and again we had meal there either ordered from the hotel or bought from local markets. The help from reception was very good and you could use internet fro free every day for 30 minutes. Breakfast was buffet type and it was more than plenty to choose from fresh fruits, juices, all sorts of breads and cooked breakfast to different kinds of cereals. I loved food in the restaurants near the hotel but i learned that if you just walk further more into local food market or ride on the scooter (150-250 bat per day plus gasoline on the top) you can get grilled fish and the taste will be hundred times better than from the best restaurant. I paid 240 bat for 4 fishes, equivalent of £5. I had so much fruits such as mango, papaya, watermelon etc from little shops on wheel from 15-20 bat per one fruit and they tasted absolutely gorgeous. Weather was roasting hot 37 degrees or more every day. I have been knackered just from weather lol and most of my days i spend on the beech sunbathing. I came tanned to Koh Samui but i still got burned from the sun so i strongly recommend 50 or higher factors. There is plenty of jet ski and babana boats on the beach and you can bargain a price. I paid around 1000 bat for 30 minutes for 1600cc jet ski. Evenings i spent shopping and here you definitely need to remember about bargaining as well as much as you can and what i was doing was offering half of the asking price and most of the time i got it. I could probably write an esay about the resort and place itself lol and all positive staff. I absolutely loved it and i am planning my next trip this year.	very speedy, accurate information about Thailand. Just a little comment about reading the extra query box when answering to original question.Overall happy with service
Lynly E Beaver 2009-02-23	Chaweng Resort, Chaweng Beach The hotel was wonderful. I would recommend it to anyone. The rooms were clean with very very effective air-conditioning. The pool and grounds were cleaned and swept a couple of times a day. The resort is right on the beach with lots of deck chairs which you don t have to pay for. The breakfast had a great variety too. We were very happy with the hotel and it made the stay in Koh Samui that much better! You definately need a hotel right on the beach and this was the prime position.	Awesome!!
Vivian Alt 2008-11-09	Chaweng Resort, Chaweng Beach Room was big, beautiful and clean. Great location, right in front of Chaweng beach. The staff was helpful, although the front desk people spoke very poor english and told us that there was no bus service in Samui, only taxi. We found out later that there is a bus service, cheaper than taxi. Apart from the front desk people problem, the hotel is very nice and worth the price.
Boyd Harvey Dale 2008-08-25	Chaweng Resort, Chaweng Beach definatley not what we expected. Made Reservations two months in advance for 2 Beachfront Bungalows but when we arrived only one was available. They reaccomidated us but still a big hassle. They need to reinvest some of the money they make back into the place. I think calling this place a resort is not exactly correct. One day several years ago it probably was . Will not reccomend this to anyone else and i will not rebook here again. Staff very good and friendly.	Booking service was good. Will use again. wish you guys would investigate the places your representing. The re not always what they seem to be.
Irina Bozhenova 2008-08-19	Chaweng Resort, Chaweng Beach The hotel is located on Chaweng Beach. As we spent the second part of our stay in Samui in B.B.Chaweng Resort in the other part of Chaweng, we could see the difference. Chaweng Resort location is very good: in the beginning of the main shopping street with its massage salons, shops and restaurants/bars. At the same time it is more quiet there even at night time. The cost of massage is 50 Bat less than northward. But the best advantage concerns the beach. Chaweng Resort has a very decent beach, well-kept and clean. In this part of the Chaweng the hotels are not so concentrated as northward. There are only few people on the beach at any day time. The chaise lounges stand on the territory of the hotel and we every time could find the vacant ones. Only one dog mooned around from time to time:) -in comparison with BB Chaweng Resort area, where sometimes up to four mongrels used to beachcomb. Beach pedlars pass by not very often carrying ice-cream, fruit, grilled chickens and catfishes, sometimes they offer henna tatoos or some shmatte. Unfortunately they don t sell seagood on the beach like in Pattaya (due to some problems they could have with seafood restaurants. We saw the similar problem on Phuket island). Only two jet boats were lied up away from the bathing area. These jetskis were used only in the evenings and did not bother us. The first day of our stay we had to live in the beachfront villa # 401 as our deluxe garden view was not available yet. We would rather stay there for the rest of the days: this number 401 is located just on the beach and a bit away from the main beachlife. There are two rooms in it: bedroom and living room. The floors are wooden. The bed is a king size really with a baldachin. The bed clothes is brown and orange. In the bedroom there is a big LCD TV with DVD player. In the living room there is a sofa, a table + chairs and a smaller TV. There is also an inroom electronic safe and an elecric kettle. The rooms are decorated in Thai Style - very nicely. The bath room is designed in a grotto style, with black mosaic on the walls and on the floor. The bathroom has a black bathtub with a flexible shower - it is very rarely present in Thai hotels. The sink is black too, as well as toilet bowl. The black sanitary porcelain was also in the deluxe garden view villa where we moved the next day. We were given a choice of three villas. They have different design outside and inside. We chose the one with flexible shower. The other two had only overhead one. But, to my opinion, these villas were lighter inside than the one we chose. I do not like darkness, and the dark wooden floor, dark wooden panels, dark marble tiles and black sanitary porcelain opressed me. But it is only my own point of view- I know people who may like this. The second minus of the hotel - you never know when the hot water appears and when it is over. The hot water supply is very unregular - but we saw the same problem in other Thai, Turkish and Egyptian hotels. But I think, this problem is not very big. There is no Russian TV channel on TV, and overall choice of channels is not wide (we could not watch Olimpic games duly). The staff of the hotel is very friendly and always ready to help. Breakfast starts at 6 A.M. and ends at 10 p.m. The food is good and the retaurant staff do not rush to withdraw the food exactly at 10 p.m. The atmosphere is very serene - my main impression from the hotel. Electrical interconnection is made so that one have to switch off all the electric appliances and illumination separately (in other hotels the electricity is switched off after you pull out the keys), but if you leave the house, you can leave the aircon switched on - very conveniently when you return from the heat to the cool room. There are also inroom safe and electric kettle in this type of villa. What else we should recommend for all bungalows in Thailand: do not leave bread and sweets on the table: ants will come very soon. Put it in the fridge, or throw in the bin outside the house (near the door). In spite of the small shortcomings we can recommend this hotel - good price for good accomodation. The good advice: the overall level of massage is lower than in Pattaya and Phuket, price 250 Bat for foot massage does not mean that it will be better than the same for 200 bat. In the Chaweng Resort area massage is cheaper. We can recommend to drop in the salon with white leather chairs and staff dressed in orange uniform (there is the only one in Chaweng like this) - the staff there is more experienced. Do not go to the Paragon massage salon: the staff is the young girls having no idea of the right massage. Dining advice: we often used to eat at the Crystal small restaurant located in the side-street leading to the main road. They have a wide choice of cources, serve very quickly at the reasonable prices.
Stefan Mickel 2008-07-31 until 2008-08-07	Chaweng Resort, Chaweng Beach Great location for the price though may need refurbishment as it was rather rundown. Clean place and staff are generally friendly. B fast was ok. The only problem is the toilet - I think there is problem with the sewage system as it tends to smell though the cleaners cleaned it everyday!	Excellent.
