Great location- but that's it!
by P&A from UK, 12 Dec 05
I was going to write about the dingy, dirty bathrooms. Or maybe the constant building work. Or the shower that doesn't reach the top holder so unless you're a dwarf you get a shower from the waist down. I could have written about the less than inspiring breakfast menu. Possibly I could have written about the intermittent maid service and the random nature of the towel replacement. Maybe I could have mentioned the electrics that seemed to work on a rota basis; or the mattress that could have been used as a foundation for a new cabana- which is sorely needed!! But I was told if you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all; so I'll shut up.

With a bit of luck good value for money!
by Petra Lang from Perth, Australia, 24 Oct 05
We liked the location, as it was not quite as busy as Central Chaweng but not too far to walk there.
The beach is pretty, the restaurant is right on the beach and is very convenient for happy hour drinks and also offers a nice breakfast buffet.
The bungalow rooms seem to vary totally. First we had an older-style comfortable room very close to the beach. We decided to try and extend our stay, but were told that we had to move. The second room was newer and furnished in very modern Asian style, but was further away from the beach and had only ocean glimpses at best. Staff was not very helpful in regard to extending our stay. Also, in both rooms we repeatedly had to ask for a technician to fix the hot water system.
The pool is rather small and there are only about 10 lounge-chairs but most people seem to prefer the beach, and being shoulder-season, we didn't have a problem there.

Everything possible
by lara from Norway, 23 Sep 05
Hi, I'm the one who had been to Chaweng Cabana Resort. In my opinion I think this place is very nice, comfortable, and relax. I like the garden, people works there they are friendly. However the service sometimes very slow, sometimes very bad.
The food always the same type and should be more clean. I hope I'll not see the hair in the food again and everything will be improved. I'd like to visit there again.

Fair and good location
by Vitor Alves from Portugal, 23 Aug 05
The first 3 nights the room (bungalow) is well located in front of the beach, is clean and comfortable.... the toilet is very smelly.... the next 2 nights we change the room to the building near the reception is clean, comfortable and the toilet is Ok. Resort is quiet and 2 min from the main street. The swimming pool is very nice. Reservation from Internet is cheap compare if you like to book directly in the resort. I have 2 children they stay in another room and they enjoy a lot, the resort and swimming pool.

Good value
by Barry Tong from Australia, 8 Aug 05
Had a seaview room (201) and it was right on the beach. Great position. Room was good and staff fixed the TV reception as soon as asked. All very helpful. Bathroom was a bit smelly at times but main room was great. Lighting at night was, well, you wouldn't want to be reading anything. They need to do something about that. Over all good value, just out of the busy section of the beach and would recommend it.

More a sleeping-domicile
by Claudius Rautmann from Germany, 7 Aug 05
Location was very nice, service always ready. The hotel was crowded. We had a lot of mosquitos in our bungalow so that we had to buy a mosquito-spray. Air conditioning was not too strong. It smelled a little bit smoky even it was a non-smoking room. The room didn't look very comfortable, was more a sleeping-domicile. But you pass most of your time outside.

Overall great - some renovation needed?
by Lee Parry from Cardiff, Wales, 2 Aug 05
Great spot, quiet but 5-10 mins walk to the action. Breakfast buffet overlooking the sea/beach a pleasure. Overall a great resort, superior room lovely - good size bed and bathroom/dressing room. Just a bit "tired" (lick of paint needed and a new roof on the restaurant!)

Great Value on Chaweng!
by Ian W from Perth, WA, 9 Jul 05
Recommend and would stay again. Note that this is modest 3-star, and older, but active refurbishment will improve most rooms greatly by Christmas 2005.
Best Points: perfect part of Chaweng Beach for swimming and sun-baking; layout of rooms, nice pool, and casual restaurant is compact and great; buffet breakfast is excellent; staff friendly and helpful when things go awry. Plenty of local restaurants and shops, so no real need to head to Chaweng centre every day, 2 Km away.
Points to Note: if you seek pool-bar action and a lively restaurant, this is not for you - quiet and ideal for couples and families. A 15-20 minute walk to nightlife area, but not a problem for most needs.
Renovations were on-going but not too intrusive.
Summary: a very friendly, quiet resort with great beach and garden setting - interesting mix of international guests. Excellent value under 2500 Baht/night (and definitely use AtSiam for the best rates). IW.

We will come back soon!
by Stefanie Kipfelsberger from Munich, Germany, 4 Jul 05
We liked the room a lot but not the bathroom (very old and not that clean). The location is perfect. The beach is very very nice and clean and all kinds of shops, restaurants and bars can be reached within a few minutes.

Good Hotel
by Anonymous user from Germany, 18 Jun 05
In fact:
This hotel is really central on all the activity....close to beach, close to all the shopping mall, close to all the restaurants....but this hotel is not noisy...so it will be perfect for anybody who like to stay central and also not expensive.
Rooms (we stayed Deluxe Bungalow) were clean and for a 3 star hotel really comfortable.
Staffs are always friendly and ready for help.
Tip:
Apply a mosquito protect (nylon house) for your bedroom from staff because there are a lot of mosquitoes in Room (but also around the Island).
On End:
I always will make a reservation again....good hotel.
