Small commentary on the photo. The hotel is good for a relaxing family holiday. In reality, it is 2-3 * but you can add another 2 * to the hotel for its location. Since it is located in the Chaweng area where there is a great beach and you do not need to take a taxi, tuk-tuk or motorbike in order to eat everything nearby, just opposite the hotel, it really saves money and time.

And the hotel is all in greenery and the street noise is not heard in the evening. Here, our tourists are welcome in the restaurants there is a Russian menu. The hotel staff is friendly and attentive (as far as their understanding of the service). If you decide to relax and have fun at the same time, this is your hotel. The main thing is that this is not Pattaya. Have a good rest.

I was on Koh Samui in October 2010 for the third time, in this hotel - the second... Before that I was in it in May 2010. Of course there will be a lot of repetition with previous reviews, but for statistics it is useful. : ) In general, I hope that you will not regret visiting this hotel. Its main "plus" is a good location.

I was on Koh Samui in October 2010 for the third time, in this hotel - the second... Before that I was in it in May 2010. Of course there will be a lot of repetition with previous reviews, but for statistics it is useful. : )
In general, I hope that you will not regret visiting this hotel. Its main "plus" is a good location. The hotel is located in the center of Chaweng. There are several restaurants in front of the entrance. The bungalows themselves are located in the silence of a tropical garden, and an amazing beach completes this splendor... The bottom is quite flat and perfectly clean. There are no algae, no pebbles, no sea urchins... one white sand..... Breakfast at the hotel is modest and monotonous - but to be honest, I like it better than in Turkey (aubergines in stock). There are usually two types of sausages (gov. and chicken), scrambled eggs, fruits, juices, well, cereals there . . jams . . coffee . . tea . . and all that stuff. The rooms are a bit old but clean. The hotel is perfect for a beach holiday. The restaurants opposite the hotel are tasty and not expensive. All tours if you take yourself three times cheaper than from travel agencies. If you come with a company, I recommend taking a fishing tour at a kiosk in the Lotus supermarket. It will cost almost the whole day with a transfer and lunch on board about 20 bucks per person. If you leave the hotel - on the right side they immediately opened an ice cream cafe - there are such delicious treats! and seafood is not bad right in front of the entrance to the hotel - a little to the left of the restaurant. And next to it, which is right opposite the entrance, there is delicious meat... If you do not pay attention to the minor flaws of the hotel, you will be very pleased. Now with friends I am considering the option of going there for the third time . . Good luck to everyone!

My wife and I were in Bangkok for three days with a further trip to Koh Samui. Bangkok is a metropolis, everything is moving, everything is being prepared, a huge number of tourists, life is in full swing, especially at night. The Royal Palace is the seventh wonder of the world, canals teeming with fish, fish shops, temples on the water, in a word, everything is just fabulous.

Hello. I stayed with my husband in this hotel and decided to share my impressions. The territory of the hotel is very beautiful, a lot of greenery, the beach is clean. The food was good, the food was varied. Compared to Turkey, we liked the cuisine here more. As for the rooms: the hotel consists of bungalows, they are all located 1.5 meters from each other and opposite each other. This is a big minus. While in the room, the curtains constantly need to be closed, everyone looks in the windows. There is no corridor, you open the door and immediately there is a bed, the light is very dim. Cleaned every day, not very good, began to leave $ 1, little has changed. But that's nothing. . . Lizards ran along the walls in the room, it's a horror! ! They had a nest above the entrance door, they were also full there, in the evening there are still a lot of frogs jumping on the territory, you go and look, so as not to step on. I didn’t see snakes, although the Thai guide said that there were a lot of them. I had a panic! ! As for restaurants, what would you need to eat together is about 30-35, it's 1000-1200 Thai baht. On the day for lunch and dinner, we spent somewhere between $ 70-100 for food. Very tasty seafood there, no words! When you leave the hotel from the left exit and right to the restaurant. it looks like a badega badega, but only it has VERY tasty seafood !! ! And it’s hard to stay hungry there, everything is dotted with cafes, there are salads, and meat (pork, beef, chicken, duck. . ), pizza. For dessert, in any establishment you are served pineapple and watermelon, for free, if you take some kind of meat dish, be sure to have potatoes and a vegetable salad in it. As for drinks, there is a supermarket on the street (outside the hotel), where everything is sold and costs 2 or even 3 times cheaper. We bought, put in the refrigerator in the room and did not buy anything at the hotel. Tired of eating in restaurants, you can take a taxi and go to a large supermarket, and there. what you want. We also bought sausage, bacon, canned fish (very edible), fruit, etc. If you want to bring souvenirs or clothes, buy on the island, bargain, prices are lowered by 2-3 times. Our guide said that you should buy everything in Bangkok, we arrived there and were stunned! Prices are cosmic, everything is very expensive. In the end, we didn't buy anything. Maybe my review will help someone. I will attach a photo with lizards. That's horrible!! !

Chaweng Buri resort. In the hotel-promotion-issued coupons at the reception for free: massage, tour of the island and dinner at the restaurant. Were in this hotel about 5 years ago. The hotel is also good. Food at the level of 4 stars. service too. Weaknesses : a lot of people cough - air conditioners they blow right into the bed, the air conditioners are old and poorly regulated (either cold or not), and the freon runs out quickly, and not turn it on, it's hot.

The hotel is also good. Food at the level of 4 stars. service too. Weaknesses : a lot of people cough - air conditioners
they blow right into the bed, the air conditioners are old and poorly regulated (either cold or not), and the freon runs out quickly,
and not turn it on, it's hot.
Airplanes fly nearby - but they don’t interfere much - it’s even interesting to watch.
Fireworks are carried along the beach and at night, until the morning, there is often such a thunder that the house staggers in the natural sense! but this is no longer the hotel. and tourists are idiots.
You need to take places on the beach at 7 in the morning or half past six. otherwise there is no room! the hotel is full! the scooters are left - buzzing and stink.
The rest is everything - advantages - soup on the beach - chic! , different fruits - the sea, the sand in the garden at the hotel. And dinner on the seashore is only in a beautiful dream.
the hotel is full, but there are no queues and crowds for breakfast. There is enough of everything. The breakfasts are varied, periodically repeated.
There are no snakes in the hotel!
At first we went to dinner on the street, but the last days we dined at the hotel - free salads and fruits, compensate for the expensive fish. The hotel even cooks pork skewers - pretty decent. In general, Chaweng is fine. The crisis is felt - there are not many people in the city - it used to be on Lamai. There are very few Germans, mostly English-speaking and ours. nine
The days went by and we didn't even notice! The sea is clean, slightly cloudy, but cool. There is no humidity. There is Internet in the lobby, but it's expensive - it's 1.5 times cheaper in the city.

I vacationed in Thailand with my family and friends at the end of April-beginning of May 2008. The tour was next - 5 days Pattaya - hotel Zign 4 *, 7 days about. Koh Samui - Chaweng Buri Resort 4 * and 2 days - Bangkok - Prince Palace Hotel 4 *.
I must say right away that I have been traveling with my family since 2002. We have already seen quite a lot, though from the "exotic" were only in the Dominican Republic. In addition, I manage a 4 * hotel in Ukraine, so I will give an adequate rating)
I want to note that I have never met such a people as Thais anywhere. Good nature, good manners and decency are instilled in them from childhood, this applies to people, and in hotels, and in restaurants, and in Thai villages. I make a note - it concerns only Thais, in Bangkok there are a lot of visitors for part-time jobs in taxis and tuk-tuks, I will describe my stay there later, I'm sure it will be very useful, it's a pity that when I was going to Thailand, I didn't find advice on the Internet, how to behave in the capital of this wonderful country).
So, Pattaya is an entertainment center (discotheques, night butterflies, transvestites, all sorts of night shows, good restaurants) You can’t swim on the beaches, the water is very dirty, you have to go to the islands, boats depart from the main pier, the ticket price is about 5 bucks per one person, it's to the island and back. Departure times every hour starting at 8.00 am. We went to the island "Lamae" once, after the Dominican Republic, we were not impressed at all, but there is a very cheap restaurant with awesome shrimp, such prices have not been seen anywhere else in Thailand. We lived in the hotel "Zign" 4 *, but he was already given 5 *, and I rate him 5+, super hotel, in art format, staff trained to fame, breakfast - 5 types of fruit, chicken, fish, 3 types of rice, potatoes , baking just a myriad of sausages, bacon, omelets, scrambled eggs, a lot of vegetables, a lot of Thai dishes. In the room there are bathrobes, slippers, mini-perfumes, water and other related attributes. Rooms are neat, clean, bathroom.
bath and shower units, there is a balcony. Two large, beautiful heated pools. In general, the hotel is quite new, the territory is well-groomed.
On excursions, we didn’t even see our guide, we moved everywhere ourselves, by taxi or tuk-tuk, it’s completely safe, the main thing is to agree on the price right away and bargain, the price can be reduced by 2 times. It is necessary to go to the Nong Nooch park, it is very beautiful, the elephant show is included in the ticket price (20 bucks per person). Further, the Mini Siam park, there are collected all the sights of the world, only in mini-copies, even St. Basil's Cathedral, which is on Crans Square, is) Entrance is about 8 bucks per person. Well, and definitely, you need to visit the 2-day excursion "River Kwai", very cool, we were at the hotel "Paradise on the River Kwai", as it is called in Russian, I liked it very much, it stands right on the water, near the shore, clear water , however, a large current.
So we swam in the pool the last days. Therefore, if it is possible to choose vacation dates, it is better to plan it before the May holidays.
Excursions, we take a moped, 10 bucks a day, it can fit 3 (small) people and travel around the island all day. You can drive around the entire island in a day.
It’s worth seeing a crocodile farm (show of crocodiles and snakes), visiting the observation deck, weak waterfalls, there is also an island of Buddha (interesting), there is also an orchid park, but we didn’t get there. Well, try spa treatments, they are offered by every hotel.
Advice, it’s better not to go to the Russian restaurant Mango, the portions are small, and alcohol costs sky-high money, for example, if in a good Thai restaurant, Thai whiskey costs 8 bucks, then in Mango, we paid 20 bucks. Moreover, in all restaurants, you can bring your own alcohol, you just need to ask for glasses and they will bring them to you.
And in "Mango" they told us, 20 bucks and you can drink your alcohol) By the way, in the markets, Thai whiskey costs 1.5 dollars (zoo ml), a good thing, try it and bring it to your friends.
Bangkok. Hotel Prince Palace 4 *, the staff is stupid, the service is lame, upon departure, the luggage was taken from us 20 minutes later than we appointed, and this is not acceptable upon departure, and you can be late for the plane. Breakfast, cleaning, room furnishing for 4.
We did not sit in the hotel for a minute, so I can’t write any more comments. And, for some reason, for 3 persons there was only one set of mini perfumes and two sets of towels. For 2 days you can take this hotel, it has a convenient location, all attractions are nearby.
Where to visit
1. Temples of the Buddha. (Grand Palace - for taxi drivers)
Now WARNING!!!!!
Temples are open from 8.00 am. Near the entrance there are some entities that look like Thais, but they are not Thais (remember, I wrote about the Thai nation, their decency, etc.
) even though they look similar. These are all sorts of people from the nearby countries of Thailand who tell tales that the temples are open exactly today, from 13.00, because today is the day of the sleeping Buddha and offer, for only $ 1.5, tuk-tuk services with city sightseeing. We fell for such a bait, lost half a day, took us to all kinds of jewelry shops, they have % from what they bring tourists to these shops, and the prices there are cosmic.
Also, the taxi drivers are very arrogant, again, they are not Thais, they ask you to stop by for shopping, and then I’ll take you to the place, immediately get out of the car or raise your voice, you understood several times) but this spoils the mood in order ..
By the way, taxi services and tuk-tuks cost the same.
there is no point in steaming on tuk-tuks, all taxis are air-conditioned.
There is a dress code in the Temples, legs to the ankles and shoulders to the elbows must be closed, this also applies to men, otherwise, you will have to rent things, but they are not the first freshness, so it’s better to dress in trousers and a T-shirt right away.
2. Oceanarium.
It is something!! ! entrance costs 25 bucks per person, children are considered to be up to 120cm = 15 bucks. Sharks, rays, turtles, penguins, etc. are great. It also includes watching a 4D movie, I won’t describe it, the impressions are class!! ! The oceanarium is located in a large shopping center "Paragon City", there are a lot of cafes with good food and prices, clothing stores, even car dealerships, super markets.
3. Baiyoke Sky.
this is a hotel on the 83rd floor, an observation deck on the 84th floor, the cost is 8 bucks, a cocktail, beer or juice is included in the restaurant on the 83rd floor. There is a shopping center near the hotel, it seems that there are normal prices and everyone is shopping there, but I won’t say more, I didn’t buy things in Thailand, but they brought a lot of fruit.
Here, in general, and all.
Yes, there are maps of cities in Thailand at airports, they are also available in hotels, restaurants, take them, they will help you travel a lot!
I am sure that the tips will help you, have a good rest and good impressions!

The hotel is located on Chaweng Beach, on the coast, like most hotels on Koh Samui. A beautiful sandy beach, an exotic landscape, and at the same time, if you leave the hotel, you immediately find yourself on the street, where there are bars, restaurants, shops. The hotel itself occupies a large area, one-story bungalows can barely be seen between the palm trees.
