Tropical Beach Resort: Beautiful and peaceful beach

This hotel is on the opposite side of the ferry, passing Bang Bao Bay Village. It’s hard to get there because the last km to get there is not paved, and the last few kilometers before getting there are full with steep hills and curves; so taxis will charge you more to get there... THEREFORE: it’s ISOLATED! Which is AWESOME if you are looking for peace and tranquility.

We absolutely loved the location. You have the best views from here, since you can see all the big islands that you can not see from any other part of Koh Chang. The breathtaking views and the tranquility makes this hotel extremely romantic... no loud groups here!

Really good swimming beach, great snorkeling (they also provide snorkeling gear for FREE!) Free kayaks and PLENTY of places to go in them! You have a refrigerator in your room, AC and a patio with 2 chairs and a table (plus a hanger to dry your clothes! great idea for the swimsuits...) Oh! and there is a TV with a DVD player and they have movies and books that you can use for free (we didn't)

The hotel is very cheap, and don’t expect any luxury here... just come for the location, I think it’s a good value. They have a free breakfast (not very good, but oh well! Not a big deal, at least you can get your morning java). Food is not their forte, but you can walk to the hotel next door that has amazing food, there are several other small places you can go walking on the beach within 1km. OR you can get some amazing fresh fish in Bang Bao Bay Village, wich is just 4 km from the hotel.

The last day, we found out that they rent bikes for the day (for $6!!!) Next time, we'll rent one! Cheaper than the taxis :)

In a few words: great beach, big size rooms, Free Internet (good speed!), good water pressure, very friendly staff, very peaceful.... and...

GREAT value, you can not beat the price for the place!

Unique Quality: The location is amazing, the best thing they have is the beach and the tranquility...

Kachapura: Best bungalows in price range (Lonely Beach)

Lonely Beach is no longer so lonely. If you don't have dreadlocks or tattoos you stick out like a sore thumb.
People seem to be happy to put up with literally shabby and dirty accommodation for fairly high prices.

This place turned out to be a welcome clean accommodation. And fairly quiet too. Every night a different bar has "party night". When it is Magic Gardens turn you want to be well clear of it.

Check the beds as some have really hard mattresses.
Cool open roof bathrooms in some huts.

The pictures on the link do not do it justice.

Unique Quality: Standard for price

Nice garden setting off the street

Blue Lagoon: Serenity and tranquility (KlongPrao/ KaiBae Beach)

Not being a big Thailand lover as every where I go it seems to be overcrowded, this little place turned out to be a beautiful quiet blissful retreat. It feels like you are "hidden away" from the crowds. Set back a bit from the beach at a lagoon. Although the water was low it was beautiful. Various choices of room standard but all very cute.

Unique Quality: Amazing restaurant setting with an outstanding menu. Worth going at sunset. (They offer cooking courses)

Just don't forget your mosquito repellant.

Siam Beach Resort: Room with a view

Such a wonderful place, but such strange management!?
The last thing I saw when I left was the rising of a signboard telling the resort was up for sale and parcelling out as time share flats or something. I am pretty sure it did not go too well, financially, and something had to be done. Few hotel businesses of this scale run in a good profit on Koh Chang.
The place was good, the layout was good, the facilities apart from food service was good, the beach which was right there was good.
The accommodation as such were great. Comfortable room, great sunset and beach view.
Cost was ok. Still, I noticed people could walk in and get overnight stays for less than the discounted internet booking rate.

Unique Quality: Right on the beach.
Fantastic swimming pool.
Seafood BBQ on the beach every night.
Short walk to other amenities like hair dresser, small super market, other restaurants.
All kinds of excursions, facilities could be organised at a cost.
Nice beach bar.
The food service was very strange, see other tip.
There were three places to eat here: on the beach, in a dining hall and in the reception area. They appeared to be under the same management, but it was all confused - too long lines of communication regarding food order, delivery and payment.
Breakfast was a set buffet against a pre-paid voucher. No voucher, no food. Still, with the voucher, staff would take down all details re room, nos of people, how long I was staying. Every day. And I stayed 10 days. Real commie East German survivors?

Mangrove Resort: Very Private beachfront

Ko Chang is very touristy, so we were thrilled with the quiet, beach front. laid back Mangrove Resort.
The attractive huts are very natural opening on 4 sides to the breezes and high on stilts to get the lovely beach and jungle view. The en-suite bathroom was very artistic. The food was good, the kitchens commercial quality and they gave you what you asked for. It was very easy to get a song thiew taxi to anywhere on the island, by standing on the main road, so the quiet location of the resort was not a problem at all.
It was really more like being in someones home than a hotel. A bit ramshackle, but very clean.

Unique Quality: Lovely beach, good walks. Fun owner who speaks English.

White Sand Beach Resort: Away from it!

I would not really call this place a resort but just huts on the beach.Well away from the crowds. There's a large range of concrete, weatherboard and bamboo huts spread along a fairly quiet stretch of beach The location is great if you are looking for somewhere away from the hussle and bustle The huts on the beach have a great view of the sea.The neg side is that the huts are a bit run down and the bathroom could use a big clean.However ,It's extramly peaceful here with a nice long white sand beach beach,great for sunning, swimming and fantastic sunsets.

Unique Quality: Only steps away from the sea ,,great view,isolated,white sand ,good swimming and long beach.

Blue Lagoon: Island Hut

'Life is just waiting' were the words of the lady who runs Blue Lagoon.We arrived very early ,so we had to wait until someone checked out.
Our hut was a simple wooden hut with an open air bathroom and a cool balcony facing a lagoon behind a beach.It was kind of like a 'mini' Thai style house, very natural and open.Also the green mosquito netting over the bed added to the exotic touch.
The atmosphere here is very relax and friendly.Good Thai food and cold beers at the restaurant.They also have private cooking classes.
Khlong Prao beach is pretty but extreamly rocky at low tide,so it wasn't so good for swimming.However you can book a boat tour that takes you to three Islands for 450 baht per person,lunch included.Which is good value.

Unique Quality: Very natural peaceful environment .It's close to the beach with a lagoon.The huts are clean and the staff are friendly

Siam Hut Koh Chang: Backpacker's heaven

Arrived quite late at night, so they could only give us a hut in the garden of the place, but with the promise that we could (probably) move to a sea front bungalow the next day. By noon the next day we were called over and given a key to on the first row bungalows! Excellent view, perfect place to chill and meet people. We stayed a week and want to go back next year.

Unique Quality: Excellent beach BBQ and, as far as we know, the only beach salad bar! Lot's of friendly europeans to meet up and get drunk with. There is a small mini-market on the road side, which is also owned by the Siam Hut Koh Chang, so no problem to get cheap Chang beer or the famous Seang Som "whiskey".

Siam Beach Bungalows: Beach Bungalows

Our first night, we chose the more expensive, Bungalow on the Hill with A/C... NOT WORTH IT! There were rats crawling around at night .. inside. You could hear them shuffling about.

From our second night on ... we moved to the less expensive bungalows on the beach (see in the photo) with out A/C .... MUCH BETTER! String up a hammock and watch a beautiful sunset!

Unique Quality: Cheap, great view, wonderful acccess all around!

private pool villa: aiyapura spa resort

my partner and l stayed here in december 2006, WOW!! out of the 5 hotels we stayed at while in thailand, this was by far the best. The service, facilities and amenities were among the best we found in thailand. The staff were more than polite and helpful with a first class service. (my partner still sheds a tear when thinking of Aiyapura). I would highly recommend this resort to anyone who loves to be pampered and enjoys the tranquility of Koh Chang.

Unique Quality: The private pool suite was breath-taking,being able to swim and enjoy the un-interrupted stunning views was amazing. The accomodation was rated 5 star, in my opinion it is a 6 star. Myself, being a seasoned traveller, l have not enjoyed accomodation such as this before.
