Very nice location and staff. Feel it may be a bit crowded once renovations
complete and if fully occupied. |

Chaweng Cove Resotel, Chaweng Beach
was very unhappy with room. did not know it was directly over the
main roadway till we arrived. From 1PM to 8PM a truck would drive
by with loudspeakers blaring telling you not to miss kickboxing event
each evening. From 10PM to 2PM music from nearby disco made it impossible
to sleep and when I tried to tell that to the staff, no one spoke
english. Never had prior paid for breakfasts because always could
now not get up that early. |

What a wonderful place to stay. Great value for your money. We desided
to book because our daughters had been her two years earlier. Lucky
us. So nice people. So nice beach. Wonderful breakfast, lunch and
dinner - and cheap. Walk around to neighbour hotels and was so happy
that we had decided Chaweng Cove Resotel. For normenn: dette er virkelig
valuta for pengene. Kan anbefales av oss og våre to vennepar som har
vært her i uke 6 og 7 i 2007. Fantastisk strand, mat og vennlighet.
Topp thai masasje på stranda. Ingen negative overaskelser i det hele
tatt. |

I have to say I was very disappointed with this hotel. I contacted
the hotel via their email, not sawadee website, regards a change in
my reservation dates and received confirmation that all was fine and
my dates had been changed and the room booked accordingly. However,
when I arrived at the hotel, they had no record of the change and
denied the email. I thought this rather strange as I still had the
email. They were able to give us a room but only after a heated discussion.
The rooms themselves are dated and the air-conditioning broke down
on day 2 of our stay there (garden view bungalow). The bungalows are
opposite each other so you look straight into someone else s room
and therefore I had the curtains closed most of the time during my
stay there. The staff themselves do come across as friendly, except
when you have problems and then some of them develop attitude problems!!
The place itself is disorganised and the staff don t seem to know
what they are doing. I organised, and confirmed twice, my transport
to the airport for my flight home with reception and then on appearing
at reception at 9am (as requested), I was informed that the car had
already left and I hadn t booked the transport. This really was the
final straw with this hotel, especially as the person on reception
was the lady I confirmed the transport with the day before. I finally
caught a taxi myself to the airport which cost me less than it would
have if I had gone with the hotel. The hotel itself is quite a way
south of the main Chaweng bit so you can expect a 10-15min walk to
the bars etc. The only good thing I would say about this hotel is
that breakfast had a good choice of options available. Overall, I
would not recommend anyone stay at this hotel. It is disorganised
and overpriced and I can easily say there are cheaper hotels of equivalent
or higher standard available to choose from. |

The Hotel has a nice appearance and all the people were very agreeable.
This is certainly a nice place to stay. It is however, a bit far from
the nightlife but that can be an advantage and its easy to get around.
The beach is good here though they don t have enough beach chairs.
They seem to have a shortage of hot water but after complaining twice
they improved the situation somehow. Free breakfast comes with the
room and is quite tasty but the eggs are risky (I threw one up). Apparently
standard room means roadside so these would all be a bit noisy. Note
that if you stay over 12/24 you will be forced to pay $60 for a very
low quality Christmas buffet (we had to go to dinner afterward). Also
be aware that room keys are not unique - you can use yours to get
into other people s rooms if you are drinking and get mixed up. |

Chaweng Cove Resotel, Chaweng Beach
Staff was very helpfull and friendly, but some of them almost don
t speak English (I had to re-order the taxi to the airport as my first
order was not performed for some reasons). Food could be way to much
better. Location is good. Swimming pool is good. The rooms are in
reasonable shape. But you can hear everything at the corridor, which
is sucks sometimes if you have noisy neibhours |

I would not recommend this place to anyone. Nothing like as advertised
in the sawadee photos. Around 30 new bungalows are being built in
the resort and they are 50% complete. The whole place is like being
torn down. Every morning we were being woken up by the sound of carpenters
pounding on wood. It is the ugliest resort I have ever been to. Unfortunately
it was also my first day of honeymoon. We booked a sea side bungalow
and it was ugly to walk through all the new construction sites to
get to our bungalows. So we would step out of the bungalow to be gawked
at by a million construction workers or take care to not step onto
their tools. Also Remember to pack your mosquito repellent as there
are a ton of those pests in the rooms. The first day I called front
desk to ask for repellents. The person did not understand a word of
english. We were bitten whole night long by mosquitoes. And about
the front desk staff, I have never seen or met more emotional-less
staff ever. No smile to greet and most of them did not speak or understand
english. Totally disinterested in everything going on. Location of
hotel is good otherwise. BUT its a C grade hotel not worth spending
a dime on. |

Chaweng Cove Resotel, Chaweng Beach
This is our 3rd trip to Samui & 7th to Thailand so I say we have some
experience. The biggest advantage with this hotel is it s place on
the beach. This is on the best strip on the beach and not as crowded
as further down towards the reef. The least good about it is the breakfast,
it s ok but offers nothing extra, and the personel in the resturant
is not very cheerful. We stayed in a garden bungalow with our two
kids 11 & 13 yrs and that was ok, one extra bed and three of us sharing
the big doubel bed. One disadvantage is that the roof on the outside
of the bungalow does not cover the chairs on the terrace so when it
rains you can not sit ourside your bungalow. Overall a ok place for
families for a shorter stay 3-4 days but of your intend to stay longer
I would choose a different place with better resturant and roof over
bungalow terrace. |

Nice place to stay. Website is accurate. Having the option of lounging
by a pool or the sea is nice and massages on the beach are wonderful.
Good location. Lots of shops, restaurants, etc. Things are a tad more
expensive than about a mile or two south, but not by much. |
