Muang
Kulaypan Hotel, Chaweng Beach
I was attracted by the 100m of beach front and the picture of the
pool. I had stayed next door at the Amari two years ago so I was familiar
with this stretch of beach. The hotel itself was OK. Actually I must
admit to walking around doing renovations in my head. I admit that
my first change would be to knock the place down and build a resort
with more rooms and less grounds. But enough about that. I found the
place a little used up. Then again given what s available in the price
range on Koh Samui it s about equal with the market. I love the pool.
It really is the highlight of the place. The beach is also great but
I admit to being put off by the run-off into the ocean along the beach
and wouldn t swim there. I like the location wrt the merchants and
restaurants of chewang. At most it will take you 10 minutes to find
someplace to eat or spend all those Baht. My room was one of the basic
room and it was fine. I didn t book the Ritz so there was no disappointments.
The staff was great. I felt like each one of them actually cared about
me and how my stay was. The best part of Thailand is the people and
the staff was as good as I ve experienced. I travel alone but if you
have kids, Muang Kulaypan should be your choice just for the love
and care the staff give them. A solid 3-4/5 at a discount price. |

Muang Kulaypan Hotel, Chaweng Beach
What an utter disappointment. It looked so pretty on the website.
We did not have the promised ocean view that we paid extra for. The
shower didn t work, there a limited chairs near the pool. The manager
is not nice, and the other guests seemed miserable. Thanks to a group
of guys also staying at the Muang Kulaypan, we bailed out after the
first day and headed over to the Baan Haad Ngam and had an excelllent
time. |

Muang Kulaypan Hotel, Chaweng Beach
The Muang Kulaypan is a real oasis of calm within Chaweng Beach area.
The rooms are contemporary and very comfortable, the staff are very
helpful and attentive. The only down side is Chaweng Beach area itself
- the Blackpool of Thailand, very touristy. |

Muang Kulaypan Hotel, Chaweng Beach
Excellent! My wife and I stayed for 11 nights. Located to the north
end of Chaweng beach, far enough out of town to be quiet, close enough
to be a short walk. The staff were excellent, they were there but
not in your face. The food, although relatively a little expensive,
was very good. The only negatives - there was no where to sit in the
rooms, the bar seemed to close when it got dark and there was not
enough sun beds to go round. However, we had a fantastic time and
would highly recommend the hotel to anyone. |

Muang Kulaypan Hotel, Chaweng Beach
The hotel is in a central location with good sized and interesting
rooms and bathrooms. However, the whole complex is rather dark without
sufficient lighting - dangerous (some staircases have no railings!)
and attracts mosquito bites. There is also a penis motif to the hotel,
so if you re offended by large phallic structures coming at you everywhere
you turn, then this may not be the place for you. The hotel is also
quite close to the road so is quite noisy (but most of Chaweng is).
Excellent restaurant with individual huts (but very expensive). Convenient
for walking along the beach to the neighbouring restaurants with tables
right on the beach. |

Muang Kulaypan Hotel, Chaweng Beach
room quality is so so. towel quality should be enhanced; too thin
cotton. noise protection of the room should be enhanced. food is so
so. fruit juices are poor; like a water, should be 100% squeezed.
hotel people are kind; Lesley Fisher gave excellent services. room
price meets the quality of the facility, but hope to upgrade the quality
0.5 star. |

Muang Kulaypan Hotel, Chaweng Beach
Possibly the best location on the Chaweng Beach, but certainly the
best boutique hotel on Samui. Impeccable efficient service, quiet
setting, calm and beautiful grounds and environment. A friendly unassuming
place to rest and relax. Unbeatable value. |
