Not sure if want to go back
by Tena from WA, USA, 19 Aug 06
We stayed there for 7 nights. Reception is not helpful. We would have moved out if we did not make the advance payment. Room is just a OK. Location is good.
The bungalow room is smaller than the deluxe room. However, deluxe room bathroom very smells as the roof connects to other rooms. if someone goes to the toilet and you turn on the fan in the bathroom, you will get the unpleasant smell.
You can get a good price for the boat to full moon party or tour trips with the hotel, but the coordinating tour company is not professional and the management very unorganized.
Breakfast never gets ready at 6.30 am. as it mentions in the coupon. Staffs don't put much afford of better service.

Dissapointing for Beachside Resort
by Ms Marish Delmundo from QLD, Australia, 2 Apr 08
Hello,
We Stayed at the Island Resort & Spa and was pretty disappointed. Our friend recommended the place to us and it was not at all what we expected. The bungalows was old and needed repair and paint. The shower had no pressure and you were submitted to only one temperature and an awful rotten smell that came out out of it when you first turned it on. Windows wouldn't open to let fresh air in.
There was not enough chairs and umbrellas for guest to sit at the beach and the breakfast buffet was very average. I don't think it was worth the money we paid to be at the beach location.

Value
by Anonymous User from Australia, 11 Sep 06
The place is cheap and cheerful and good value for money. This is not an upmarket resort, but well positioned. If you are looking for somewhere that is not going to break the bank, this is the place. But, if you want a luxury resort stay next door at the Regent.

GREAT PLACE
by WERNER C from AUSTRALIA, 7 Feb 06
I stayed at this resort for 5 nights and found the buffet breakfast supplied was awful to say the least. I recommend not to have breakfast there. Apart from this the place was very good value for money.

6 of us stayed here and we all agreed that we would still stay here if we do come again.
by Isabella from HongKong+Taiwan, 14 Feb 06
Stayed for 5 nights. This hotel is really value for money. Great location for cheap bargain hotel, and the rooms are clean enough but room service is extremely slow (however they still serve with a smile except the reception) and no pool but got the beach (a bit shallow but can walk a little further). Can rent scooters with the hotel and book tours, just across the road you have the supermarket and pharmacy with lots of restaurants nearby. And just 10 mins away from the airport. If you are looking for a clean, convenient, and cheap accommodation, this is it!

Recommended good value for money.
by Jacqui Ward from London, United Kingdom, 14 Feb 06
Comfortable rooms set within beautiful well kept gardens, rolling straight onto the beach. Great breakfast included. Clean rooms, linen seemed to be clean but was a little musty. Staff helpful and friendly.

Very nice hotel
by Martina from Hamburg/Germany, 15 Feb 06
Had a garden bungalow - very nice and clean. Excellent breakfast buffet, very friendly and helpful staff.
We were only disappointed with Chaweng/Samui itself, because it changed too much since our last visit 11 years ago - koh phangan is definitely the better address.

WILL RETURN TO THE RESORT AGAIN
by MARTIN NORMANTON from WALES, UK, 20 Jan 06
Rooms were spacious and clean, although shower/toilet area could be bigger, The food and staff at the beach front restaurant were excellent , especially during happy hour, where we drank a FEW cocktails.
The gardens were clean and pretty, and housekeeping returned when we eventually got out of bed. One downside was the main gate security.

Good
by Robert Wood, 11 Jun 06
Very nice & quiet location if a little far from the best part of the beach. Rooms very nice, comfortably furnished & spacious. No problem using the mini-fridge for your own food & drinks. Breakfast buffet was fine.
Overall better value than most along this stretch of Chaweng. Our only real gripe was housekeeping keep forgetting to replenish the water & having to call reception for this. Would definitely consider staying there again.
