Hotels in Koh Chang

"The Awa Hotel is well designed and beautifully set out. The staff are friendly and very helpful. We had a couple of problems ... no hot water when we arrived and the power blew in the room on the first night. We were impressed with the speed that the staff dealt with these problems to our complete satisfaction, when told of them. Great facilities but I do have one gripe with the breakfast. Overall, the breakfast facilities were excellent, the choice wide ranging and the staff very helpful. However, the vegetarian options were poor. Firstly, I pre-messaged them to alert them to the fact that I would need a vegetarian breakfast but that had obviously not registered with them. Over the next three days of our stay, the main part of the breakfast was a mix of eggs, fried vegetables and rice, which is boring and uninspiring. I would not have thought beyond the wit of a good cook to have at least one vegetarian based option available to all. Besides this significant disappointment, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

"I recently stayed in a pool villa at this hotel, and while the overall experience was okay, there were some issues. The villa itself was spacious and nice, but it felt a bit old and in need of maintenance. One major downside was the jacuzzi, which had a bubble function that wasn’t working. The shower was also frustrating, as the water heater didn’t function properly, giving only very hot or very cold water with no in-between. On the second day, we faced low water pressure, and the heater stopped working altogether. Despite informing the staff in the late morning and returning in the afternoon, the problem was still not fixed. It seemed like the front desk and the maintenance team didn’t communicate well, which was disappointing. As for the breakfast, it was just okay—nothing special but decent enough. That said, one good point is that the price is reasonable compared to other hotels on the island. If they can improve their maintenance and service, this place could be a much better choice. "

"I have been many times in this hotel over the years, and I keep coming back! The hotel is on a cliff, with a beach at the bottom. There are 2 swimming pools. The rooms are spacious and all give a view over the sea. Breakfast is in the top building, where a mountain cabin goes from the bottom building, to avoid a steep walk up or down. The grounds are a well kept garden, which could compete with a botanic garden. During the night you hear crickets and frogs, and all kind of other jungle noises. Monies visit the grounds as well, looking for fruits. If you leave a door open to the balcony, you can have a monkey visiting your room, and stealing an apple or other visible fruit. It is a very children safe place as well, as there are no cars nor motorbikes allowed on the grounds, apart from the parking. This is the place to go in Koh Chang!"

"Very clean, freshly renovated rooms (building K). Each room has a hot pot kettle. But mattresses are quite hard. Fresh water, shampoo, toilet paper and trash bags daily. Good breakfast buffet. Always different kinds of one of each: soup, fried rice, noodles, vegetable and chicken dish. Three types of fruit and salad bar. However, there is only one person preparing eggs and pancakes, which results in a long queue. And only instant coffee. Location is nice, but the hotel doesn’t practically have its own beach (as well as pool, sun beds and beach towels). During the low tide, it’s impossible to swim due to bushes of seaweed. The beach is nice for morning swims and evening walks. Also elephants are brought there for a swim multiple times a day."

"We loved everything, and the main criteria when looking for a hotel was walking distance to a good beach and a room as close to the sea as possible. So, we were very pleased! The biggest advantage of this hotel is its location on what we consider to be the best beach on Koh Chang. For this, we can forgive its other shortcomings. The main drawback is the distance from cafes, shops, etc. You have to walk about 15 minutes along the beach. Also, the monkeys that wandered the hotel grounds every day in search of food were a bit of a nuisance. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast; it wasn't anything special, but we didn't leave hungry. The rooms close to the beach are all renovated and fresh. Overall, we recommend it! We'll definitely be back 😊"

"The hotel's location is decent, with a 7/11, cafes, restaurants, and everything a tourist could need within easy reach. Unfortunately, we weren't thrilled or even satisfied with our stay. We stayed in budget rooms. Our room had very poor lighting; the small, frosted windows let in minimal natural light, and the artificial lighting within the room was also extremely dim. Overall, the room didn't feel cozy at all; it was like living in a cave. Perhaps this was due to the low season, but it felt like the hotel was in a semi-abandoned state; the pool's jacuzzi and fountains weren't working at all, and the grounds were poorly maintained. For about 3-4 days, what we presumed to be monkey droppings lay in the chill-out area near the budget rooms, and no one bothered to clean them up 🙃. The hotel staff themselves were nice and very friendly; we had no issues with them. The problem, we believe, lies with the higher management, who seem to have neglected the entire hotel. It's also important to note that the hotel is virtually integrated into the jungle, resulting in a lot of wildlife, including monkeys, on the grounds."

"I felt very warm and friendly from the moment I checked in. The hotel is really beautiful, the room is clean and comfortable, and the water heater heats up quickly. There is a reef beach in front of the hotel. It is so fun and interesting to catch the sea. If you want to play on the beach, it is a wise choice. It is very convenient to turn left after leaving the hotel to have a meal, massage, or rent a motorcycle. Our favorite is to eat at a small stall, which can cook dishes according to your needs, the kind that suits the Chinese stomach. It’s more than four kilometers away by motorcycle to Bangbao, which is convenient for booking various overseas projects. It is best to prepare more cash when staying in this hotel. There is no white sand beach here, and you may not be able to swipe credit cards. This place is relatively primitive, less commercial, very quiet, and more suitable for rest and in-depth travel. There are many monkeys in front of the hotel. , not chasing people, and lizard, a hotel I love very much, and will choose it next time."

"Rooms are clean and big. Check in as check out is smooth. The bar and restaurant looks new. The rooms seems to be renoveted. But the suroundings need attention. Some parts of the wooden floor on the restaurant where shaking as we walked over it. The bathroom is updated but shower was was weak pressure and the Shower head need to be cleaned. The restaurant food was, amazing good en fair priced. Staff is helpful and friendly. Most customers where young guests and the bar near our room was a bit loud. After all it was a plus. But loved more our stay at Bang Bao, it was more peacefully and natural . We're an older couple 🙏🇹🇭"

"If you love beautiful nature, clean sandy beach (not like white sand), human attitude is here. The price/quality ratio is just amazing! Private beach, next to a good restaurant on the seaside. In general, there is a good set of depth in the sea. A good massage salon with a stunning view. English speaking staff is rare. Water in bottles every day and little pleasures. A good Internet that catches even on the beach. From the downsides - perhaps too much distance from the venue, but that's all the beauty. The lack of a teapot and a refrigerator in the cottage, and the compulsory presence of a motorbike as on the back. I advise as much as possible."
