Buri
Rasa Village, Chaweng Beach
Fabulous hotel, worth every penny we paid for the rooms. Great location,
unbelievable service and superb hospitality. We chose the rooms with
the private dipping pool which I would highly recommend. Impressive
breakfast offering and wonderful service everywhere. For a fantastic
beach massage check out the massage facility just beside the hotel
beach (south I believe). The hotel recommends Timmy tailor just a
couple of 100 meters (600 feet or so)north of the hotel (turn right
as you leave the hotel) and we too thought that he offered great product.
Tell him that you heard about him from his Canadian customers! For
exceptional inexpensive food try the 24 hour restaurant right across
the hotel. Place doesn t look great but don t let that fool you. |

We booked 2 standard rooms. Rooms are ample in size and nicely decorated.
Road noise was not a problem in our rooms though ours were closet
to the lobby. Good beach location. Service was very good property
wide, though they could improve their beach and poolside bar service
and likely achieve more sales. Breakfast buffet on the light side,
but ample and had my favorite; smoked salmon! Would certainly recommend
this place to anyone. Only wish they had had rooms to extend our stay.
BTW, Sawasee offered room pricing discounts that hotel would not match
with direct inquiry. |

Buri Rasa is a very beautiful resort. It is nestled in the middle
of Chaweng Beach- but very quiet inside the resort. When you like
to have the full action you have only to leave the resort and you
are in the big Chaweng Road with all the shops, restaurants and entertainment.The
stuff is absolutely the best we have ever met in Thailand. The deluxeroom
we booked was very nice, big enough and clean. We will stay there
next year again. |

The hotel was fairly decent, but overpriced in our opinion. For those
of you considering this place, here s what you can expect. When we
first reached the hotel, we were a bit nervous because it looked a
little dumpy. For the price we were paying, I expected more. We checked
into the room (Junior deluxe) and found the room to be quite small.
The mattress sits quite low to the ground and has the mosquito net
around it - a bit daunting to think we would have to be very carful
with mosquito bites. The grounds are all lush with plants so mosquitos
will always be there. Be sure to bring and use your mosquito repellent.
The bathroom was OK - good size - but with a large wasted space that
had a small ladder, a large bucket with water filled from a rustic
looking tap. I guess it s just there for looks, but the space could
be better used by making the room bigger. The wifi access in the room
was flawless - this was important to us. The beach was well kept and
clean and service on the beach was good. If you want chairs on the
beach, it would be a good idea to reserve a couple before going to
breakfast. They will hold it for you so you don t have to worry about
not getting chairs on the beach. Don t expect much for breakfast.
It s decent with fresh eggs cooked to order and a few buffet dishes
(fried rice, noodles, potatos, sweet breads, juices etc.)Pretty basic
stuff, but adequate. All in all, I would say it was expensive for
what you get (we paid 6600Bhat - 4 nights get one free, so the average
cost was about US$158 per night. Another important note - the staff
was very good and accomodating - very important to us. Apart from
breakfast we did not eat at the hotel. The restaurants did not look
good to us. The beach bar was closed for renovations. We stayed at
the Central beach resort the last time around, for about the same
price. It s a bigger hotel and has all the trappings of a luxury resort.
I wanted to try something different this time, but truth be told,
we will probably stay at the Central next time as I prefer the luxury
of that kind of hotel, not to mention the large variety for breakfast
and lots of bars and restaurants on the grounds itself. |

Buri Rasa is the nicest and most comfortable hotel I ve ever stayed
at. The hotel staff are of the highest caliber and the rooms are like
paradise. This hotel sits directly in the middle of Chaweng beach
so you re probably in the nicest spot of the island. |

Great hotel if you fancy somthing a bit different. Staff were very
helpful and friendly. Room was clean and as I expected for the price.
My only negative for the stay was all the mosquitos but I doubt this
is the hotels fault! |

Really nice hotel, friendly staff, good facilities including complementary
wi-fi, good buffet breakfast by Thai standards and excellent location.
Quite a lot of mosquitoes around, but room has repellent and screen
doors to keep them out. Would stay here again without hesitation.

This hotel is great. Located on the best section of Chaweng Beach
- all staff really friendly & helpful, particularly the pool / beach
team (they are brilliant)Breakfast choice is a little limited but
excellent all the same. Accommodation was great - very clean and comfortable
and unbelievably quiet given the hotel s location next to the main
road.Aircon was excellent - efficient and quiet. Only drawback with
the room was the absence of a bathtub - large shower however. Very
handy IT area with complimentary library section. Didn t use the hotel
restaurants as too much local choice on the doorstep - however those
guests that used them were very complimentary. I have been a hotel
General Manager for nearly 30 years and you can take my word that
if you choose this this hotel you will have made a very good choice.
