"The place is quite lovely, and the staff is polite mand always ready to assist the guests. It is super clean and tidy, and the food is amazing. However, there are things that I cannot overlook. The Internet is one of them, we did not have an internet connection at this hotel. The wifi signal is horrible. There are too many ants. We had a room on the fourth floor, and they managed to climb up there. If you leave some food on the table or a desk, there should be an ant party within 30 minutes. The place is kinda old, it doesn't feel like a four-star place. Some things are outdated. The restaurant is pretty expensive compared to the other restaurants close by (mango sticky rice is 200 compared to an average 100 outside)and the beach bar was closed due the renovation. We had fun here and we will be back. I highly recommend this place for families. This is not a critique but a guideline on how to improve. Cheers!"
"Very good , good big room , lots of things to do , great price at time of booking considering what has to offer compared to other places in the area , good breakfast not the best I save that for star convention in rayong ..
Overall considering we on am island at the mercy of controlled prices was as a fair deal , stay again in a couple of days .."
"This hotel is perfect for a relaxing getaway in a natural seaside style. It offers a pleasant atmosphere, fresh air, and friendly, attentive service. The breakfast is also delicious. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with well-designed separate areas for the toilet and shower. There are two swimming pool zones and a variety of engaging guest activities, such as morning yoga, afternoon boxing, and water exercise sessions."
"My recent stay was exceptionally satisfying; I absolutely have to give it a five-star review!
Starting with the facilities, the hotel boasts excellent amenities throughout. The decor is modern and elegant, and everything is fully equipped. From the bedding and lighting in the guest rooms to public areas like the gym, elevators, and hallways, everything is meticulously maintained. The attention to detail truly stands out.
Hygiene was equally impressive and reassuring. The room was spotlessly clean, completely free of any strange odors. The bathroom fixtures gleamed like new, and the bedding clearly appeared to be regularly changed, which offered complete peace of mind. The public areas were also kept immaculately clean, contributing to a very comfortable atmosphere.
The service, without a doubt, was the biggest highlight of my stay. The front desk staff were incredibly warm and helpful, readily answering all my questions, and both check-in and check-out processes were handled with impressive efficiency. Throughout my stay, the staff maintained a constant smile and were quick to resolve any issues, making me feel genuinely cared for. A particular instance that stood out was when I needed an extra blanket; I called, and it was delivered to my room in under five minutes. Their efficiency and positive attitude truly deserve high praise!
Overall, this is an excellent hotel that ensures a comfortable, relaxing, and worry-free stay. I highly recommend it for both business travelers and families. I will definitely choose to stay here again if I have the chance!"
"We've been coming to this hotel since it was names the Sea View. The new management has done some great things, but hopefully they'll continue their improvements. The service is stellar, from the moment you walk through the door, to the time you leave, everyone is helpful, professional, and happy to help. The beach is clean, the area is quiet, and it's never crowded. Ideal for anyone looking for a calm place to read and relax. Every room faces the ocean, and the views are stunning. The two areas of improvement are:
Renovating the rest of building B. It seems that the first floor has been renovated, but floors two and three are still the same ones like before.
Improving the breakfast. The previous owners offered the best breakfast on the island. The current breakfast seems a bit quickly put together, not befitting a place like the Sylvan.
In spite of these two things, we would stay there again and again.
I hope this helps."
"The address on Ctrip is wrong! It's wrong! Give Ctrip a bad review! I used this address for navigation and went to the wrong place, kc! Just enter its English name on Google. The room is actually very shabby, and the guest room is still upgraded, with a sea view room. Then there is a strong musty smell, just like a hotel I stayed in Shengsi before, but that hotel in China is 1500, and it also has a private beach but no breakfast. The location here is amazing, with its own beach and swimming pool, but the room smells musty and not very clean. The air conditioning is also relatively poor, and the bedding is also relatively worn out. The breakfast is okay, very mediocre, but at least there is milk. The Giraffe Hotel in China costs 1500 a night, and there is no milk in the morning. In short, around 300, it is super value! Forget about pursuing quality, but pursue cost-effectiveness, it is not too bad. It is clean, but it is old, the house by the sea is damp, and there is a strong musty smell. Worth it."
"Nice hotel cut into 2 parts by a street. Modern part towards the sea with a nice pool and different bungalows. Older part hillside with an additional pool. No elevator. No sand but rocky beach. Friendly staff. Good breakfast buffet 7-10 am. 7/11 & macro store next door."
"The hotel is just a fairy tale! We lived on the 2nd floor, a villa. Everything is done so beautifully, lots of molding, a wonderful shower room, lots of greenery. Beautiful pool. Breakfasts are excellent. The hotel is located on the best beach on the island! In the evenings there is a fire show, shops, cafes, pharmacies are within walking distance. Special thanks to the staff! If Koh Chang, then only this atmospheric hotel."
"We really liked the hotel. Large well-kept territory, good breakfasts. We really liked the villa on the slope for its privacy, large patio. Lots of photo zones. The room lacked basic hooks for towels and a dryer. I recommend it and would like to come back myself."
"Great hotel price wise. Big swimming pool with nice slides. Nice private beach feeling. The breakfast is normal. The room is big with a very big balcony including seating. The only minus is the small bathroom. But the shower area is good with hot and good pressure water. Friendly staff, food and drinks are fair and no ++. We will come back."

Amazing
BBrianna PierreCame here with a friend for a Christmas holiday and it was great. The guest manager was a delight and he was very personable, helping with breakfast and conversing with guests about places he loved on the island and life in general. He seems to actually love his job which is refreshing. The rooms were delightful and clean and the bath tub was so soothing as was the view. But note that the resort is at the top of the island so if you want to go to beaches like bang bao bay or lonely island you’ll have to hire a car or taxi. Luckily the resort helped us with that. A staffer named Q even helped my friend find a spot for a late night snack. Overall our stay was great. I would suggest adding a vending machine to the resort for snacks when the kitchen is closed as well as maybe having an additional shuttle available for beaches farther away to allow for guests to sign up to pay a travel fee that they could split evenly. (For example, Mondays is lonely island, Tuesdays you may go to bang bao bay etc). Other than that everything was easy and well accommodated. Would definitely stay here again.
GGuest UserWe have spent 6 nights in Santhiya Tree Koh Chang, even though it's rainy season, we still LOVE it there!
Design: we stay at the Pool Suite Water View, almost whole building made by carved wood, traditional Thai design and lots of character, looks very beautiful & classic.
Staffs: very friendly and excellent service
Pools: 60m long pool at the breakfast restaurant with some seats facing the pool & peaceful mountain view. Another pool right in front of the beach & close to the villas. Both pools clean & big. Santhiya Tree use pa kao ma thai sarong as beach towel, love it!
Food: delicious buffet breakfast & lots of variety. Food & drinks at the Chantara Restaurant is high quality & very yummy. The duo who sings at the restaurant are brilliant singers, you won't get bored with their performance.
Room: spacious & clean, lots of electric plugs & even beach bag for use. They burn lemongrass/ citronella oil in the bathroom to keep mozzies away & room smells good.
Massage at their spa: very good & reasonable price, sound of the waves makes the massage so relaxing, must try.
Shuttle bus to main street: every 2 hrs they can drop you or pick up from main street as there resort is not at the road side. Not sure if it's because of low season, hope the shuttle service can be more frequent.
Thank you everybody at Santhiya Tree Koh Chang for the great service and smiles. Will definitely come back for another holiday and highly recommend if you're looking for a fantastic place to stay! This beautiful place takes your stress away :)
P.S. there's a small part of the road right outside the resort leading to the entrance is unsealed with lots of potholes, pretty bumpy for cars and their shuttle bus, suggest Santhiya Tree do something with it.

AArron Dhaliwal SinghSerenity resort
Amazing hotel - would highly recommend staying here.
We stayed at serenity resort for 2 nights on arriving at Koh Chang from Bangkok. The location is so so idyllic and relaxing, absolutely beautiful. We also stayed on the west side of the island for a couple of nights and while it is quieter on the east side of the island (ie, there is no point in leaving the resort in the evening as there is nothing really to do on the east side after dark) this is exactly what we were after.
The staff could not be more helpful and accommodating. Food and drinks at the restaurant were great and reasonably priced. Very clean and comfortable accommodation. Lovely view.
As other reviews have said, if you are staying here you will likely want your own transport so you can explore. We rented a moped from the resort at a very reasonable price. If you want to rent a car make sure you have an intl driving permit (takes a few mins to obtain but must do whilst in the UK). There’s barely any traffic on this side of the island so the drive down to long beach at the south of the island felt very safe on a moped despite the hills (and would be the same in a car). The resort staff recommended us to do this and then get kayaks over to Koh ngam, which we did and was a great experience!
The other option is to rent a taxi for a day (we were quoted c2500 baht for 6 hours) and they can drop you wherever you like and wait for you.
Thanks again for a lovely stay at serenity resort!!

Great
AAntonIf 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.
皮皮蛋_001The resort is nice and I got a great deal in the off-season, but there are a couple things to point out.
The room was quite clean, but the bathtub had quite a few long black hairs in it, which were very visible so I'm not sure how they were missed.
The resort sits on white sands beach, and the beach is great, but all bars near the resort are ”girl bars” as some people euphemistically say. Other beaches on the island have fewer of these, they all seem to be concentrated on one strip by white sands beach.
I would stay here again as it was a great value, but I thought some potential guests might like to know these details.

JJ_KGHWe loved this hotel and after travelling around and speaking to others I definitely think this is one of the best resorts on the island.
Pros:
+ The staff! They are so lovely and made our stay more enjoyable.
+ The rooms are great with a small balcony.
+ The pool area! We loved dipping in and out of the pool, and the Jacuzzi!
+ Food was nice
+ you can hire bikes (mopeds) from the hotel
+ price
+ The grounds are beautiful
+ The hotel will help with Taxis etc
Cons:
- The nearest 7-11 etc is over 20 mins walk
- There were lots of ants round the pool area … we found out there was an infestation this year (not just on this island). It would be great if staff could go around spraying the area. I am not sure if they did.
We are regularly at a small independently owned place called Sapporat’s, owned by Deano and his wife ***. You do have to wait a while for your food (because *** is the only one cooking) but it’s so worth it! Great home cooked food and a lovely atmosphere looking over the river. It’s only a 5 minute walk away from the hotel.
We were also recommend a cooking class by Deano and his wife … with Bonnie. It was amazing. We started at 9:30am and didn’t finish until 2pm. You eat at the class and can even take your curry back with you. You also can choose from a selection of dishes, you don’t have to make the same as everyone else!

PPierre le FauconA hidden resort located in klong prao area that provides good tranquility, surprisingly found the real room is looks better than those displayed photos. The room is spacious, bright in excellent condition of cleaniness, housekeeper did great job as always. It's not a new premises so some furnitures were aging but they wouldn't spoil your stay. We stayed at room with plunge pool unfortunately couldn't enjoy it in the consecutive rainly days. Even unable to ride the kayak or watch the fireflies in the evening. Perhaps should back in winter seasons to avoid of wet. The gardening is absolutely greenly beauty, a truly resort for hideaway. The hotel is next to the river without beachfront need a free shuttle to there. Overall I have extended my stay for a relaxing break, also massive thanks to all staff as they were so attentive and friendly.

RRodgersHotel was lovely, right on the beach and could to the local shops.
We had a terrible issue with flies, and even though we ensured all the doors and windows remained closed, these tiny flies still appeared from the drains. We had to ask the staff to come every evening to help (which they did) but it wasn’t the best welcome back after a day out to have flies on all our personal belongings, especially when the main area was in the bathroom.

EElenaGalanovaAmazing hotel with friendly staff and beautiful territory!
My son and I stayed here for 6 days and everything was wonderful — spacious clean rooms, delicious coffee in the room every day, and a huge luxurious pool (there are two more on the property, but this one was more than enough for us). The breakfasts were very tasty and diverse!
I especially want to thank your staff members Sa and Hand — without them, our vacation would have been much less fun! They are absolute superheroes: every day they organized different activities and played with my son Sasha, even when it wasn’t part of their responsibilities. We had beach football, Thai boxing, an art workshop, and more. Sa and Hand, thank you for your kindness and positivity — I wish you all the best!
It was also such a lovely surprise to receive birthday wishes from the whole team, even though I wasn’t expecting it.
The beach and sunsets are stunning — honestly, there’s no such thing as a “low season” here. Thailand is beautiful at any time of year! I came prepared for constant rain and no sun, thinking I’d just enjoy some solitude without the crowds — but in reality, we had sunshine and great weather every single day.
Thank you so much! I truly hope to come back again!

GGuest UserA relatively remote hotel. The facilities and environment are clean and comfortable. The restaurant opening hours are too short. From 8 am to 6 pm, it is inconvenient that there is no restaurant nearby.
