"We had a big and beautifull room with a big and comfy bed. The bathroom was also spacious with a big enclosed shower, great for not showeing the hole bathroom and everything in it while taking a shower. Our room was on the 3 floor so we had a nice view over the pool with palm trees. We did not use the pool that much. It is a tiny pool with only 4 sunbeds so you have to be early to get a spot. But its only 10 min walking to the beach. Very clean. Very nice and helpfull staff. Great location....

"The staff were friendly and the recreational facilities, such as the pool, were excellent, but there were issues with everything else. First of all, even though it was check-in time, we were told our room wasn’t ready and had to wait quite a while. The dormitory room was infested with mosquitoes, and to make matters worse, there were even bedbugs—it was a nightmare."

Top Koh Samui Hotel Reviews

Chaweng Garden Beach Resort

Chaweng Garden Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here in Sept for 6 nights in Garden view double room. Couldn't fault our visit the room was clean, the bed was so comfortable, everything worked, the balcony was a bonus for us. The breakfast was amazing with plenty of choice. We really liked the location, right on the beach which is wonderful but close to the main street in Chaweng. The noise from a nearby late night venue was a worry when we booked but we could hardly hear anything. Lastly all the staff around the resort were perfect, very polite and friendly. Would definitley recommend Chaweng Gardens it is 10/10 from us."
