Nirvana
Resort Koh Chang, Bang Bao Bay
Nirvana is a small hotel that advertises peace and serenity. That
is exactly what they bring. The large hotel rooms are very tastefully
decorated with warm natural materials. Everything (airco, hot water,
DVD etc) worked fine. The grounds of the hotel and its surrounding
are beautiful. Two nice pools. As there are only 11 rooms in the hotel
there is a quiet and cosy atmosphere at the pool. The restaurant serves
excellent dishes in, again, a beautiful environment. Hotel personel
is very friendly and competent. Nirvana is a delicious place to relax
and to enjoy nature. Don t expect any nightlife or loud entertainment.
You will be able to finish your book! We enjoyed the jungle hike,
went out with a boat to nice beaches at small islands. Despite that
it is sandwiched in between the sea at two sides, Nirvana has no possibility
to swim in the sea directly from the hotel. Nirvana is a delicious
environment if you are looking for a quiet relaxing time far from
the maddening crowd We booked the special tarrif in the low season
period. We had really a lot of value for our money. Hope to go back. |

We arrived by boat in Bang bao from Koh Maak - The arrangment was
to phone the hotel on arrival at the pier to be picked up - they would
send a car to meet us - fine. When we arrived, we phoned....the hotel
phone wouldn t work! The up shot of this was that I left my wife standing
with all our luggage while I proceeded to walk for about 2km down
a rough dirt track (that no taxi wanted to go). It was extremely hot
and when I arrived, the lady behind the desk simply said phone, no
work - I give you my mobile number . -If you want to stay at Nirvana
and need to be picked up ENSURE YOU HAVE THE RECEPTIONISTS MOBILE
NUMBER FIRST!!!!! - Otherwise d be prepared for a long walk!!! Providing
you don t mind the mosquitoes (there was an outbreak of Dengue fever
while we were there) and the tiny ants (they didn t bite) sharing
your bed, it could be considered quite nice. For someone who perhaps
just wants to stay a couple of nights to chill out away from the hustle
and bustle, it could be appealing. Bang boa fishing village isn t
far away - it reqires either a very slow bumpy ride on the dirt track
courtesy of the hotel transport or a stroll along a debris stewn beach/building
site and through the local s back yards to reach the pier. The LAN
internet was ok (when it worked) and the dvd/tv/audio system in the
room was good. Food was average - beware,though,that if you ask for
a second cup of coffee at breakfast you will be charged 50 bahts a
time which appears on your bill when you check out. A much better
alternative place to stay for the same cost is the Nisa Cabana which
is close by. |

This is a great place to stay if, like us, you re looking for solitude
and a relaxing atmosphere. Our room was fantastic and was more than
adequate for our week s stay. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
They were able to book and pre-pay charters for us that wouldn t accept
credit cards. The restaurant (Tantra) is fabulous. We tried to sample
each of their local dishes (ask for Thai spicy) and were delighted
each time. We ll stay here again if we re able to return to Koh Chang. |

Great hotel. We really enjoyed our stay at the Nirvana Resort, Koh
Chang. The service and the restaurant was perfect and so was the bungalows
too. We will hopefully come back. |

Nirvana Resort Koh Chang, Bang Bao Bay
The resort was fantastic and exceeded our expectations.It is of the
beaten track and one does need a scooter or a car to move around.The
beach front studio was big and inviting with a balcony which overlooked
the port.The food was great and the service was brilliant. We had
a minor problem with the restroom but we got moved to a another studio.The
cleanliness could have been better. The WiFi did not work in either
of our rooms but it was functional at the reception. All in all, it
was a lovely stay and we would definately return if given the opportunity. |

We are a family of five who stayed at nirvana resort in january 2008
- We stayed for five nights, and really had a good time. The children
loved boths swimming pools (the rock pool is very deep - more than
2 meter). We had a beautiful view over the sea from our beachfront
villa, but you cant swim at the small beach: the water is not clean
and there is a lot of broken glass. The food in the restaurant is
very good, but there is room for improvements on the breakfast. The
little fisherplace Bang Bao - which is only fifthteen minuts walk
from the resort is a really charming place to spend the nights - very
good seafood restaurants :-)and not so many tourists (remember a flashlight
for the walk cause it is a pretty dark walk.) Remember to see the
sundown from the rockwalk at the resort it is a very beautiful view.
The staff at the resort is very friendly and effective. We had some
problems with the water the day after we arrived and they had someone
to fix it very quickly. Overall - Nirvana is perfect if you want a
nice and quiet stay with few other tourists. |

In a beautiful location at the end of the island 10mins footpath walk
from a fishing village. Restaurant food exremely good & well presented
by pleasant staff. Apart from food menus there was no other info in
the room re trips etc. Reception never seemed to smile! |

A wonderful get away. You are really away from everything, so you
might enjoy your stay in the jungle. And whithout private vehicle
you are almost lost in the jungle. So far, accomodation is excellent,
and the staff is friendly and helpful. Some of the offered facilities
did not work, but the friendlyness of the Nirvana-team made us forget
some umconveniencies. |

Indeed a wonderful resort. Some 12 bungalows and densly populated
although we visitied in the peak-season. Walkingdistance - 15 minutes
- to the Bao Bang pier with nice restaurants. We filed a complaint
when Hotelmanager invited her female Thai-friends with Swedish(?)spouses/noisy
children to the Pool-area!!! |
