Bamboo @ Koh Chang

We spent one night in a room with a sea view, but from our room we could only see the roof and a tree. The hotel is tired. Very democratic. Breakfast is a la carte - we took American. On the beach you can sit on chairs from the hotel. There are sun loungers near the pool, but since the hotel is on the shore, you can see the sea from the sun lounger and it feels like you are lying on the shore. In the evening you can hear music from neighboring hotels, but it is not critical. In the evening, the hotel restaurant sets up tables on the shore where you can have a snack. Overall, the hotel is good.

The location of the hotel in general is not bad, but it is better to take hotels further towards the mountain, they have their own beach at high tide, there are steps right there and the sea beats on them... in general this did not interfere. Sunbathe on the sun loungers by the pool, or pull them onto the sand when the tide is low. The building is closed from the road by another building so no noise can be heard. What I didn’t like and the hotel needs to change, it’s honestly a shame. 1. Wi-Fi, which kind of catches, then the Internet just doesn’t work, it’s either no or it’s constantly lost, in the rooms (in the main building opposite), there was a signal, but it didn’t work, on the balcony it looked like it was catching something , not much better. Somehow I worked at their cafe, well, the signal was good, but the Internet almost didn’t work either, connections were constantly being lost. Honestly, this is a shame for the hotel, get normal internet. There was a screwed-up Wi-Fi at the hotel cafe, we took the password, we thought it would be better, but no, it’s about the same... 2. the cost in the cafe, the price tags are simply not adequate (25-30% more expensive), the cafes next door to the more “chic” hotels were no different from the cafes along the road, and we ended up having dinner there often. 3. further incorrect information on Trip says that there is a buffet, that’s why I chose it, but in fact “breakfast is on the menu, with a very limited choice of 5-6 items”, the best thing was an American breakfast of one type, despite the fact that the hotel next door had the same breakfast, 5 types of American. 4. Trip writes that there are safes, in fact there are no safes, or they may be in some rooms, but why write there are if there may not be any? We checked in quickly. They didn’t take a deposit (although at the reception it was written that they do take it). At first they didn’t give us coupons for breakfast, when we asked how to have breakfast they said you had a reservation without breakfast included, we were indignant, the girl checked, saw what happened with breakfast, and gave us coupons. There were 6 days, the rooms are not cleaned unless you ask (towels are changed if they need to be replaced), in general this did not bother us, since we did not litter. Water and toilet paper (well done, at Kokuda they rested in the toilet almost at 0 and then they just added it) were left at the door every day. There was a kettle, but tea/coffee was only available on the day of check-in, new ones were not added. The location of the hotel relative to interesting places is not bad, at the exit there is a kiosk for shakes, on the beach on the right there was a cafe with cocktails all for 100 baht (not bad at all). Along the street there are cafes and massage parlors with normal prices. I rented bikes to the right after 200-300 meters (they didn’t want to haggle on the price against the hotel), it was possible at the hotel, the price was the same as everyone else’s. With Wi-Fi, of course, there was a terrible setup, to come on vacation to run around either the hotel or the cafe in search of normal Wi-Fi... as a result, the hotel next door through the wall (a little further from the bamubu) was with open access, it just flew, no brakes 100 Mbit interruptions!!! Lucky were those who lived with this hotel, it clearly broke through the wall, but it didn’t break through to our room anymore.
