Nisa
Cabana, Bang Bao Bay
We have travelled the world and stayed in many wonderful hotels, but
we have to especially recommend, the Nisa Cabana near Bang Bao Fishing
Village on the Island of Koh Chang, Thailand. Our visit was booked
via www.sawadee.com on their discount Thailand link and we were very
happy with their service. The Nisa Cabana is Koh Chang s secret. It
is an absolutely stunning location. Unfortunately, the sawadee.com
web site does not have pictures that show it to its best advantage,
but you can see more beautiful imagaes on the resorts own web site
at www.nisacabanakohchang.com. We booked into a superior Garden View
Villa but actually received a Superior Sea View VIlla with additional
private outdoor bath and shower on a large wooden balcony overlooking
the sea. The Sawadee prices were excellent (almost half the hotel
s advertised price when we booked) and we found ourselves surrounded
in quiet luxury as the staff attended to our every need. I felt like
a Queen as every evening, the maid brought us a jar of cookies or
freshly baked cake and fresh ice for our well stocked bar fridge,
when she came to turn down the large, King-size bed and close the
numerous drapes. The villas are bright, spotlessly clean and beautifully
appointed. We found our quality linens, towels, bathrobes and slippers
were changed daily. Our greatest delight was to be able to catch up
on our email on our private balcony using the free resort Wi-Fi internet
access included in the room rate. We could open up our room to the
elements during the day, allowing the outside in through the numerous
doors and windows. At night, a very effective air conditioner allowed
us to sleep in perfect, insect free, coolness. The sunsets over the
sea are stunning and we enjoyed many an evening just admiring the
beauty arround us. The restaurant provides very good food. Our favourite
is the numerous Thai dishes, but they also provide continental and
American style choices. Breakfast during quiet periods is served a-la-carte,
but on weekends and busy times, a large buffet style breakfast is
available. Either way, we could not fault the polite service we received.
If we wanted to go to the beach or to Bang Bao, a free 24-hour shuttle
service was at our disposal, but very often, we just enjoyed the resort
with its stunning infinity pool and easy listening music. The resort
does take children in double bedroomed Villas but we feel Nisa Cabana
lends itself for those looking for a romantic get-away location. Perfect
for a honeymoon couples, business people needing a break, and those
that value quiet with plenty of tropical foliage and birdsong to accompany
their stay. We only booked a week, but would be happy to stay here
again as it has been so enjoyable. Colette and Roger, Nottingham,
