We are 5 satisfied with our vacation, 4 satisfied with the hotel. The hotel has its own quirks. Well, first of all, the deposit is only in baht. The exchange rate at the hotel is very unfavorable and there is only one exchanger nearby, which you still have to get to, God willing, it will work. Therefore, I recommend everyone to change money at least with the guide on the bus, although they also make money on the course, but not like at the airport or at the reception. The most favorable rate will be in the city at yellow exchange offices.

Where to spend this deposit then? You can eat and drink at the hotel and charge the bill to your room, then the amount will be deducted from the deposit. Although, the hotel restaurant is much more expensive than in the city and in Thai markets, but sometimes you are too lazy to go somewhere and eat at the hotel. Cooked well, tasty.

The hotel is aimed at the Russian contingent (mostly), there are a lot of signs and announcements in Russian, the staff understands a little Russian (reception), but if there is a problem, they suddenly stop understanding. There are fines for everything here - God forbid you lose the key to the safe, break something or get dirty!

This is the only hotel in the area located on the first line, so all guests from neighboring hotels come here (many hotels have the same owner), so sunbeds can be a problem. Well, how is it that we specifically chose a hotel on the first line and on you, we can’t find a free sunbed, it was occupied by those who bought a tour of three on the 3rd line and came here (because the hotels have an agreement with each other). Also, these same guests do not hesitate to swim in “our” pool.

The pool is not bad, but when relaxing with children at the pool, keep in mind that there are very deep areas here (1.8 m), so keep an eye on it so that the child does not fall into it.

There is a beautiful area around the pool, many flowering and fragrant trees. The beach is not bad, the views are simply amazing - towards the Temple of Truth.

But the part of the territory to the right of the sea is simply stupid, some kind of forest with trees and not a single bench. It’s worth somehow improving it or organizing recreation areas, it’s in vain that it’s empty. The trees there grow are interesting, with aerial roots.

We had a hotel room with a sea view in the main building. I advise everyone to book rooms with a sea view if you are checking into a hotel on the shore. The furniture in the room is from the past, but the equipment is not bad. Everything you need is there: a tea set, baths, a robe and slippers, there was even an umbrella. Internet only at the reception (in the end we connected the package to a local SIM card and had Internet everywhere).

There is one path from the hotel, along which there are several cafes, fruit stands and shops, and on the same side there is an exchange office. Through alleys you can reach the highway (Naklua) - the road to the city (by tuk-tuk for 10 baht). Almost near Orthodox church we found a thai market.

The hotel's location allows access to the fish market. I advise everyone to visit - everything is splashing in the troughs, they will cook it for you on the grill for 30 baht, you can sit and eat in the park nearby.

For other entertainment you need to go to the center - this is Walking Street and shopping centers. And, of course, excursions are a must; there are so many of them in Pattaya, it’s difficult to decide right away. I want to visit everywhere.

At home I started looking for trips, and of all the local companies, I was more inclined to Nika Travel. Upon arrival at the hotel, we contacted the manager, he came to our hotel, we made an advance payment, and paid the rest when boarding the bus. We took excursions on offer and received free trip to the Lagoon (how great it is there!).

All liked it! I won’t describe it for too long. At the hotel they didn’t take a guide, it’s not profitable at all (although they say our prices are lower than on the “street” and “promotions”, but in the compartment there is no benefit), we never take excursions from a tour operator, from local firms always better quality and price.

Holidays in Pattaya are interesting - we liked it, there is a desire to return, maybe even to this hotel, although its policy makes you a little tense on vacation (deposit, lack of Internet in the room, safe at the reception).

Good afternoon

We were resting.
Good afternoon
I am writing a review in hot pursuit.
We vacationed as a couple from February 10 to 20, 2018.
We are not picky tourists, we have been to different hotels and hotels, we saw a lot of horrors, so the negative reviews about the hotel did not bother us. The choice fell on him, because this is his first trip to Thailand, and sitting at the computer it’s hard to have a complete picture of the country. But after reading the comments and reviews, surfing Instagram inside and out, we chose Garden Sea View.
What I can say based on the results of the holiday is that the reviews are all true, but you need to sort them for yourself. I will try to describe my opinion being loyal.

Check-in.
Like everywhere else at 2 p.m. We arrived already in the dark, so we didn’t wait. A deposit of 2000 baht is taken immediately and only in this currency. There is an exchange office nearby (the dollar varied from 30.70 to 30.00 during our stay. For comparison with the street - from 31.40 to 31. They also change euros, rubles, etc. We did not use the ATM in the lobby, as in principle anywhere did not use). Upon check-out (at 12:00) it is returned, but we used it to zero (we ate in the hotel cafe). The baggage room is a corner in the staff office.

Number.
We took Deluxe Sea View during the period early booking- they moved into it. 4804 is a large building to the right of the main one, if you are facing the main entrance. Quite spacious room on the 8th floor with 1 large bed and 1 small bed. There is a table and chairs - you can take it out onto the modest balcony. Opposite the bed is a table with a flat-screen TV with a bunch of Thai and Chinese channels. We watched the channel from Pegas and Russia 1 (poor image quality) in Russian, and there is also channel 49 - popular films in English without advertising. There is also a mini fridge with bottles in the room drinking water(volume 0.5, quantity depends on the number of residents), which are updated for free every day (if you leave for the whole day and leave them untouched, don’t expect additional ones, so we always took them even to the beach) and a very creaky wardrobe with bathrobes, slippers and umbrellas. (Regarding this product - don’t even think about using it, these things are closely monitored, so if you take them out of your room, spoil them, God forbid you want to take them away as a souvenir - you’ll be fined. Moreover, these are not disposable things, and they wash them or no - I definitely won’t volunteer to talk.) There is also a pretty good safe in the closet (if you don’t have one in your room, welcome to the safe at the reception). The room has a kettle with cups/spoons, next to it are tea/coffee/sugar/dry cream bags. It's all free and replenished.
The bathroom combined with a toilet is also spacious, with a large mirror. There is a hairdryer, shower sets (shampoos, soaps, caps, etc.). The bathroom itself is not the first freshness, but not critical. What was more surprising was that if you use the shower, it is not removable and not adjustable; my young man, to put it mildly, had difficulties, since he is very tall, I had to bend down all the time.
There are a lot of lighting fixtures in the room, but I never found out where most of them turn on (most likely half are broken).
Air conditioner. Really noisy, but not as much as some tourist reviews scare. The next day you get used to it and don’t hear it until the end of your vacation. But it is very functional. You can cool the room to 10 degrees in 2-3 minutes, very convenient!
Soundproofing has been worse. In the room itself, we didn’t hear the neighbors; in the bathroom there was little water and flushing. But what really made noise was some kind of mechanism from the 1st or utility floor on the 5th day of rest. Suddenly you hear the sound of turning on, as if the mechanism had come into action, after a couple of seconds there is a final sound - owners of non-silent washing machines will understand - as if things are falling while the drum is spinning. And at night it really bothered me, I woke up. They never found out what it was, the receptionists spoke exclusively Thai, and decided not to waste time and effort.

Cleaning
She's gone. Towels are changed every couple of days, every day they are folded carefully and the bed is made, the trash is taken out, and hygiene items are added. Bed linen was changed 2 times in 10 days. (According to our tourists living in the main building on the 2nd floor, they changed everything every day). Be prepared for the fact that there will always be dust in the room - this is the norm for Thais. No theft was detected. But they decided not to tip. Once they left them, the cleaning lady took them and did her job worse than usual.

Nutrition
They cook more for tourists; I only came across spicy meat at the hotel once during my entire vacation.
Breakfast according to the system Buffet. Every day scrambled eggs, vegetables, fruit, pastries, tea, coffee, rice, 2 types of sausages and tasteless ham, as well as two types of soup. Hot food varies (noodles, meat, vegetables). Sometimes they prepare something extra, but not every day (omelet, Thai soup, etc.). There are also decent juices, water, cold/hot milk.
You can have lunch/dinner in the restaurant in the lobby or 2 cafes by the pool (the menu is the same, you can use a deposit).
They also make sweet pancakes by the pool.
Prices are about 15% higher than on the street, the food is prepared about the same.

Territory
Big, green, alive. Exactly alive! There are many birds that scream/sing/chirp from morning until 3-4 o'clock. Sometimes it's pleasant, sometimes it's annoying. According to the mood of the warblers) Roosters and cats are running around, dogs are running along the beach. A "squirrel" was seen in the palm area. Lizards mostly appear in the evening and crawl around the hotel corridors. You can take a lot of photos without leaving the hotel.

Beach.
Quite big. The water is surrounded by a floating barrier, so there is little to no debris. Sand, shells, pebbles. You can play volleyball and beach soccer. There are sunbeds around the beach under palm trees, but they are not placed on the sand itself. From the beach, the Temple of Truth is visible from almost all points. What surprised me was the lack of lifeguards! So be careful. Fish swim in the water, sometimes biting plankton.

Pool.
One in the bungalow area (small)
The second one is between the main building and the beach (large, two-level with a waterfall and islands of palm trees). There are also sun loungers/palm trees around. There is a small area for kids. Very beautiful.

Wi-fi
It's a big mystery. There are plenty of distribution points, only one lobby works normally, and as all tourists write - in the lobby. But to be honest, it doesn’t happen from day to day. Sometimes you could catch him by the pool, sometimes even at breakfast, and sometimes he didn’t even work in the lobby. I constantly have to re-login. Very uncomfortable. But at the same time, the signal reached the beach for several days.

Service
He's not here. So if you want something, I don’t envy you. More precisely, you will either be poorly understood or not understood at all. While on vacation I had a birthday. I did not receive a bonus from the hotel. And we ordered a gift from Russia (flowers), so they threw them under the door of the room. I don’t understand what the problem is with bringing it into the room itself. It was very unpleasant. We didn’t go for a massage, we didn’t buy anything in the hotel stores, the gym area is a thing of the past. There are no huge “Toilet” or “Shower” signs, so look and you will find. Beach towels are ok but ancient.

Other
Mostly Slavs and Chinese vacation here.

Flight
The Azurami were flying. There, on a large plane, in which there was almost no space (it was difficult), the food was mediocre. Thank you, they gave me a sleeping kit (pillow, mask, earplugs) free of charge. Back - it was small, but at least there was space, the food was much better. Keep in mind, if you fly the same way - 100% charter, be prepared for a change in time and date of departure, for refueling in India on the way back. (And then the 9 hour flight changes to 11).

Tour operator
Anex. They greeted us well, gave us water and tourist sim cards (for a call to a guide or an emergency somewhere, a day of free messengers, this opens up the opportunity not to sit in the Lobby and not be nervous, but to go to the local supermarket "7/11" and for 89 baht you They will connect the internet for a week, although we didn’t use it). The guide told us a lot and completely along the way. The journey back to Russia was terrible. This is just some kind of test. They picked us up 6 hours before departure (maybe we were just unlucky) and froze them on the bus.
Hotel guide. THIS IS A SEPARATE TOPIC. I haven't met such a boor for a long time. Name is Orhan. Don't even think about going to a meeting with him if you don't plan to go on excursions with Anex. I still remember it with horror. For 2 hours at the meeting he talked about his past, some acquaintances and friends, and answered all our questions reluctantly. If they asked again, he showed aggression. I pushed 5 excursions, which I myself considered it necessary to tell about. Moreover, he discouraged all desire to go anywhere at all. He answered questions about other excursions that were interesting to us in such a way as to make it clear, “You won’t go there and that’s all.” You know, this is not a guide, but some kind of tradesman, whose key argument is “You won’t find it cheaper,” which, of course, is not true. He persuaded us to go to a free sightseeing tour. I read in reviews that it’s a waste of time that they take people shopping. But I didn't think it was ALL DAY. ABSOLUTELY ALL DAY FROM STORE TO STORE. And here is a huge deuce for both Anex and Orhan. They just stole the whole day. But if you love shopping, go ahead. Of course, it's not all bad. Between shops, the guide told quite a story interesting information(I remind you that this is our first trip to Thailand, maybe that’s why it was interesting) We visited: an orchard (we tried fruits, walked around, tasted exotic teas), a snake farm (we looked at snakes, a snake show (quite funny, you won’t regret it), there was an opportunity for an additional fee try a snake, tasted snake tincture), hill big buddha(but since we were brought there at the end and at dusk, we couldn’t fully enjoy it). And ending the topic hotel guide. He gave false flight information. Our call with questions received a bunch of “Dear” (this is his favorite word) and rudeness, sent us to hotline Anex to figure it out for ourselves. In general, they called Anex, Azur Air, looked on the Internet, in short, they found out everything themselves, they also wrote on the information stand for the other guests, but Orhan never showed up at the hotel. My advice is not to get involved so as not to spoil your mood.

Infrastructure around.
I advise you to study reviews of the hotel with Google maps in front of your eyes. I did just that, so I knew about everything about the area. The hotel is located in the Naklua area and there is one road leading from it, and all the shops and cafes are located on it, there are tour desks. Here tourist area, therefore, as everyone said, it’s more expensive than in the city. But in principle, the prices are reasonable. You can get it from the first Family Mart Pattaya map for free. Two main tips - many goods are cheaper in the pharmacy (located at the turn of the main road) than in the supermarket, there is also a yellow exchange office - it is more profitable than the first one, which is closer to the hotel. We ate (mostly) at the Coconaut Cafe (from tourist reviews below). Upon entering there is a specific smell that you get used to, super wi-fi, good-natured hosts, sports broadcasts and a large selection at very reasonable prices!
The location of the hotel is really remote from the city center, you will have to take 2 tuk-tuks or a taxi.
There is nothing in the hotel for children except a swimming pool.

Excursions
I studied this issue in advance, so we went from the Russian guys: Discovery 7in1 (entertaining, almost everyone offers something similar in Pattaya in different variations. Here you have zoos, plantations, farms, and temples. Rich and fed), Military Beach ( Or the Blue Lagoon - incredible beautiful beach on the mainland), and went to the island of Koh Sichang (the island of luck, just an incredible journey ending on yet another blue beach). If anyone is interested in more, please contact me, I’ll send you a link, they have a whole website.

Bottom line.
You can go. This is one of the cleanest hotels for swimming in Pattaya, everyone talks about it. There will be no crazy parties or any kind of hell here, so for a relaxing holiday, if you want not to be bothered, it’s ideal. I think everyone will find their own pros and cons here, and different things will happen to everyone, everything will depend on a dozen factors. We haven’t been on a beach holiday for a long time, so we had a great rest and turned a blind eye to all the little things. In general, it all depends on your personal plans and desires for your vacation, but personally, I could easily come here again =)))

In the family building d, it is very dark in the evening and there are no lanterns. On the first evening, in the dark with a sleeping child in my arms, it was very difficult to find my number. And the room for families, we lived with three children, does not really have a closet. There is practically nowhere to hang clothes. At the same time, there is a closet in building B. Very expensive hotel restaurants. This hotel is located a little far from the village; in the evening there is no shuttle service from the hotel. We walked along the sea. Children like the funicular, but of course it goes very slowly.

Lived in this hotel in 3 rooms. One room in the building for families. And 2 rooms in the building on the first level. This hotel has an excellent beach, many trees that create shade, convenient especially with children. There are steps at the entrance to the water; when we visited, it was high tide during the day, so there was plenty of water. Good, varied breakfast. A baby cot was provided upon request. Excellent sea views, 2 swimming pools. In the building where there is breakfast there is a lighthouse that you can climb to.

Inflated prices for everything: restaurant, massage, kayak rental... Nearby the same thing is 2-3 times cheaper. The beach could have been cleaner. The hotel is not bad, but the equipment needs to be changed: the air conditioners are noisy, the plumbing is not up to standard. The key (one) to a room in a 4-star hotel is nonsense.

I was a little surprised that the beach was separate for residents of the villas. It was strange, it seemed like the building was right under your windows and there was no way out to it. I think this is pointless, because swimming to it is not a problem. It’s easier to immediately make a path from the body)

When we first arrived, we saw that all the buildings were from the 80s, and we were a little upset. But then we realized that this, even though it was built a long time ago, was a luxurious hotel with a rich infrastructure, gorgeous views and excellent service. We took a room in a building by the sea.

The hotel is amazing! With a beautiful well-kept area, very friendly and attentive staff. Very tasty and varied breakfasts, clean pool, room cleaning and linen and towels changed daily! The sea deserves special attention! Very clean, transparent, there are islands nearby that you can reach by kayaks. The room is cozy, with everything you need, the internet works well)) Ideal for a family holiday, you don’t have to worry about the quality of water in the sea and pools, the cleanliness of the beach, the kitchen! Every day there is yoga on the schedule at the hotel, massage on the beach for a fee. Thank you very much to this hotel🌷

Monkeys, we had to call a man with a slingshot, the distance from the nearest village is both a plus and a minus at the same time, there are mosquitoes and because of them there is no way to ventilate the room - a mosquito net at the entrance could have helped here, but instead of it there is tulle, and it is not very useful

A huge room is perfectly clean every day, a comfortable, well-thought-out area, there is a call for a free electric car, a cable car with 4 stops, the pictures on the booking are completely true, there are excursions and transfers right up to the airport (the price is almost 12go) right at the hotel, rental of kayaks, subs, speedboats, sun loungers and umbrellas, as well as beach towels are free, the beach is protected from the tide, there is a spa and massage both separately and on the beach. BREAKFAST!! It is something...

It’s a little inconvenient that the entire hotel area is located on a slope and to get to the beach from the ultra-low buildings you either need to wait for the funicular or walk along long winding paths for about 15 minutes, although everything is quite close

The hotel fully corresponds to the description and photo. Luxurious jungle, well-groomed territory, gentle warm sea, smiling staff willing to serve you. For me, this is my favorite high-class hotel, the best in terms of price-quality ratio on Koh Chang. I am a regular customer and hope to remain an ardent fan for many years to come.

If you really want to find fault, you can write about the lack of bathrobes. Still, 5* implies the presence of such.

Liked everything. Before deciding on the choice of hotel, we looked at several others on the neighboring beaches, including one, and definitely came to the conclusion that this is the place for us) We stayed in the family deluxe, room 9003. Excellent location - nearby breakfast, parking, funicular stop, swimming pool. The room is very spacious, two rooms, clean and comfortable. From the window you can see the sea and the nearest islands. The beach is perfect. Small, of course, but clean and safe. The sunbeds have a map of the bottom - you can see where the bottom is sandy and shallow, and where there are corals and deep. The beach is cleaned and clean. We didn't notice any fleas/flies. Whereas on the neighboring beach the algae is not removed, there are heaps on the shore and there are a lot of bitten people. Very hilly area. Walking is a bit difficult, but there is always a cable car or an electric car that will quickly take you to the desired point. The pool below was closed for renovation, but that didn't bother us at all. Upstairs there is a beautiful swimming pool with a slide and a stunning view of the sea. On the beach in the restaurant there is a kayak rental service - convenient. Monkeys run around the area, but they are more fun than dangerous. I liked everything very much.

“change the hotel management, the fish is rotting from the head....”

• . Rest
• . Pair
• . 4 nights stay

The attitude of the staff towards the guests is completely indifferent, there is no top management in the hotel... the hotel is not worthy of five stars at all... the room was booked 3 months in advance, and by the time of arrival, the hotel had begun reconstruction of the pool, which the staff did not even bother to warn about. ..the holiday passed to the sound of jackhammers...We stayed in this hotel two years ago, so there is something to compare with. The hotel claims to be five star, but in reality it is not. The rooms are very poorly cleaned, they just wipe the floor, wash the bathroom and that’s it. This is not enough for five stars. The room is not comfortable and all the furniture is old. The towels are gray. The dishes are not washed in the room - I washed them myself. Overall, it's pretty cool. The mini bar is almost empty - they could have thought about that. As for breakfast, it's not great. Everything is standard: omelets, fruit, sausages, tea and coffee with pastries. Not much variety for vegans. 2 years ago it was more soulful in this hotel. When cleaning the rooms, we carefully laid out all our things, folded our bathrobes and removed excess wet towels. We will not go to this hotel again.

We were in this hotel in the spring of 2018 and we can note that the hotel has become worse: the old authentic wooden buildings on the territory are collapsing, the rooms have become indecently dilapidated, and at the same time, in the middle of the main territory, several ugly concrete “villas” have been built with pretense.... , the area around them was blocked off((. The mountain trailer - the one that takes you up the mountain for breakfast and to the upper building, which already runs very slowly and cannot cope with the flow of guests even in the off-season, was constantly turned off in the rain, and then simply closed for repairs ((As a result, everyone is transported back and forth in ancient open cars from which monstrous black smoke comes out when climbing a steep mountain - and passengers breathe in these exhausts while driving through the beautiful green jungle(((. In our room the air conditioner and socket were faulty , some of the furniture was missing, the dilapidated duvet cover was worn down to small holes. As a result, after repeated calls and attempts to repair and fix it, half the next day the staff and I looked for a suitable and free room in the building and moved - we found it and no longer paid attention to the loud buzzing old one. refrigerator and broken cabinet door(. The pool downstairs is closed for renovations until October - it's noisy construction works. The two oldest buildings next to this pool are therefore impossible to live in. The upper building, where breakfast is served and the most decent new rooms, have difficult access due to a non-working trolley and smoking machines. Our building is next to the ocean - it was the only one convenient option, but the rooms...... And by the way, another surprising circumstance - the beach located under the windows of our building - does not belong to the hotel, but belongs to the neighboring three-star one ((and the bungalow cabins under the windows also belong to the neighboring one. Conclusion: the place is good, but the management and management decisions are inadequate, strange and illogical; the staff is nice - but we did not understand and did not see that anyone really manages it, there are a lot of staff - but everyone is a little lost and disorganized.

View from the window. Good breakfasts. The staff is trying - doing what they can - this slightly smoothes out the overall sad situation in the hotel. Large green area. Small green Island with the beach nearby - which can be reached by kayak in 15 minutes. Kayaks for rent 200 - 300 baht - there are several rentals nearby. Monkeys come to visit - on the balcony and in the rooms. If you know how to behave correctly with them (don’t feed them, don’t leave food in the room or on the balcony, don’t play or tease, don’t touch) - you can get a lot of pleasure watching a large monkey family) - she came to us to relax after robbing the neighbors numbers)), a decoy mother with three children of different ages. From time to time, terrible screams and female squeals were heard throughout the entire building from guests from neighboring rooms, who found their rooms and balconies looted - monkeys stole food, cleaning products and light clothing. The monkeys are not to blame (this is their territory: the island of Koh Chang is a nature reserve) - the hotel guests who play, feed and tease are to blame. We prepared, knowing the situation at the hotel - we read how to behave.

It took us a long time to choose a hotel in Ko Chang. We chose Sea View and were not disappointed. Excellent hotel for price-quality. The rooms are large, in my opinion they all have a sea view, as they look on one side. We stayed in Superior, which is in the main building; there were two exits from the room - to the building and to the beach. There are several buildings, located on a slope, but accessibility is good; the upper building (where breakfast is) can be reached either by funicular (large elevator cabin, 5 minutes to the top), or by electric car (the delivery service is fast), or on foot. Breakfast is excellent for every taste. There is European and Thai cuisine here, a lot of pastries, omelettes, eggs, only 5 types. Moreover, there are dishes available all the time (both at the beginning and at the end of breakfast time). Two swimming pools, not counting those at each villa. One pool pershore on the beach, the second at the upper building. Two restaurants. We had lunch and dinner on the beach at Sunset. Excellent cuisine, service, presentation of dishes. Everything we tried was very tasty. Especially Tomyam, spaghetti with crab, tom hakai, pathai. Leisure- kayaks, boards, badminton. Great beach. Special thanks and gratitude to the service staff - everything was very kind, professional, and not intrusive. It is clear that a well-coordinated team is working. We had a great time at your hotel!…

Somehow, things didn’t work out for us right away with this hotel: at first we couldn’t pay through the hotel’s website with a card for a long time, it gave an error and that’s it. After several days of correspondence, the payment finally went through. Upon arrival at the hotel, for the first time I was faced with a requirement to show the card with which the hotel had withheld funds and unexpectedly - you cannot show the card - pay again, the previously paid will be returned in 45 days, despite the fact that the hotel requested full information about the card when booking and paying . Attempts to explain ourselves led to the understanding that the reception desk was unfriendly, customer-oriented high season is put aside in a dark corner. The location is unique - between large beaches, which creates a certain tranquility, but at the same time a variety of the same fruits offered by the hotel onbeach clearly loses to beaches with more free access. From the beach beautiful view on the sea and rocks - here the hotel lives up to its name. There is also a gorgeous view from the restaurant, plus there are several places around the area where you can also enjoy the sea view. The hotel is ancient, the elevation changes, electric cars and the funicular are a very pleasant solution, one of the advantages of this hotel. Two pools, the lack of lighting and backlighting after sunset caused bewilderment. A large green area, birds, monkeys, and the monkeys are quite greyhounds, a sort of gang of small gopniks collecting food rent on the balconies)). They say that somewhere there is a person who disperses them with a slingshot, but during the week we did not meet such a person, but we met monkeys every day. Breakfast is good, the restaurant has a view of the sea and sunset. The dinner menu is rather limited. Barramundi fish is delicious, fried and steamed, springrolls with duck are not bad as an appetizer. The beach bar has a small selection of drinks. A big plus is that there are few mosquitoes. A small minus - in some places there are heaps of dry cut branches scattered throughout the forested area, although maybe I misunderstood the coloring of the green area of ​​this hotel. From Friday to Sunday influx Chinese tourists, apparently that’s why these days there aren’t enough sun loungers on the beach for those who come closer to 12. The Family deluxe room is spacious with two rooms, one bathroom. There is only 1 key for a 4-bed room, and only hangers), there are 4 more, with robes hanging on them, somehow not enough even taking into account the robes. Free water per bottle per seat per day. Beach towels are not changed either on the beach or at the pool, only in the room. But this did not create a big problem, since we had assembled a replacement set. View from the room for the most part covered by trees. A TV in a hotel is usually not necessary, due to the small number of Russian-language channels and the presence of other pleasures for the eyes, but here we thought about the tradition of watching the President’s New Year’s address. The size of a TV from childhood - now, at best, these are on refrigerators in the kitchen, because from three meters you can no longer see anything. I don’t comment on the New Year’s Eve celebration itself; New Year’s Eve without snow, the Christmas tree and Santa Claus isn’t the same. But running out of sparkling wine in the bar by the middle of the holiday is not at all our way). The quality of room cleaning is decent, no complaints. But on the beach the cleaning is worse, like a hotel area, guests start going to the beach at around 7 o’clock, and the incredibly slow 3 ladies with long breaks for conversations only start selectively sweeping the area and wiping the sun loungers at 8 am. One can observe the picture among the staff in this hotel and in the restaurant: the waiters, turning away from the clients, are discussing something funny for a long time. One gets the feeling that despite the peak season, not enough workers were hired and their work was not monitored. One Saturday, Saturday Karl!!!, after 8 am, when the beach was already partially filled with people, a sand-sifting machine was launched onto it, which, with a roar, gasoline stench and sand dust, introduced new sensations into the relaxation process with clean air and quiet the sound of the surf))) This pleasure lasted an hour. The same story repeated itself on Sunday. The service on the beach is also not great - we ordered 2 glasses of white wine, among other things. After 10 minutes a lady came with a menu - which white one? They chose - they pointed at Chardonnay on the menu, she ran away repeating - Chardonnay, having fun about something, after another 10 minutes she came running - there was no Chardonnay, they pointed at another white - she ran away to order. As a result, I brought one glass of red😩. In my opinion, the quality of service is quite low, but this problem is fully compensated by the views and territory. The sea is shallow, the bottom is with pebbles and corals. Rare fish. Jellyfish and other monsters were not seen. Warm and transparent. Great for kids, too small for adults. It should be noted that before 10 o’clock in the morning, things left unattended on beach loungers are carefully collected and taken to the cafe, so there is no particular point in occupying the sunbeds in advance and leaving for breakfast. WiFi - 3 connections per room, keeps dropping out. In the city we dined twice in the restaurants mentioned on the Satang website, the first J.E.Seafood - spicy, despite the request for nospicy, scallops, hard steamed fish and tasty rather large boiled shrimp, I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. The second one is Filou, more of a cocktail bar, I pleasantly impressed with the selection of cocktails and other drinks and the cuisine. Delicious, properly cooked asparagus with seafood, grilled squid, fried perch, shrimp - I definitely liked it. The menu is quite large. The selection of drinks is also wide. Party atmosphere, closer to midnight live music. We went here twice and never regretted anything. After 6 pm there are not always free tables - you have to wait. The rating of the Sea view Koh Chang hotel on Booking and the Tripadvisor awards for this hotel are completely incomprehensible to me. It’s not that it’s a bad hotel, but there are definitely much better ones, so it seemed to me that the ratings were greatly inflated. There is no desire to be in this again. The quality of service does not correspond to the cost of living in my opinion. Although perhaps this opinion was formed under the influence of the absolutely heavenly sensations received at Shantaa Koh Kood, where I wrote this review and about which I will write separately.…

Dear VitSt16, Greetings from the Sea View Koh Chang! Thank you for taking the time to leave us such an extensive piece of feedback. We are sorry to hear that we didn't "t meet your expectations. We are unaware of the issues you encountered when trying to book and pay and we are currently investigating if this was an error from our website or if it was related to your card provider . The reason we asked to see the physical card that was used to make the reservation is to verify that you were the owner of that card and to check the signature at the back, this is a common procedure when booking and paying in advance and it is explained during the booking process and in the booking confirmation. We are sorry if you felt that our staff was unfriendly because they requested to see the original card however, this is a standards procedure for them to do as we otherwise could be subject to chargeback from the bank. Our private beach is usually one of our most positive talking points amongst our guests however, it seems as though you didn't quite enjoy it. You mentioned that the beach has poor accessibility but we fail to understand why as you can walk from our private beach to the next town center within minutes. We are pleased to hear that you liked our resort views and facilities including the funicular (the only one on the island) and our golf carts. Our swimming pools have the lights on only until closing time as we close them at night for security purposes. We have plenty of natural wildlife in Koh Chang and the monkeys are one of them. You can find them anywhere on the island and we cant do more than scare them away should they start being intrusive and we have staff constantly walking around to prevent such situations, however, it is impossible for us to control all the monkeys that move freely through the jungle we are located in. Thank you for pointing out that our breakfast and the views from our Lighthouse restaurant is amazing. It is surely the restaurant with the best view on the island and we are well-known for it. Our menus are very extensive and depending on what food you feel like eating you can visit our Lighthouse Restaurant (Thai) or our Sunset Restaurant (Thai and Western). In terms of room amenities, we provide as standard 5 hangers for the wardrove however, more are always available upon request. Pool towels are available at the room, reception and our Sunset Restaurant and it is indicated on the information sheet placed on top the beach towels in your room. We are glad to read that you liked the cleanliness of your bedroom and that you saw that we have 3 staff members cleaning the beach since the early times of the morning, we will pass your comments to our Executive Housekeeper in order to speak to the public area cleaners and to retrain if necessary. We do clean our beach regularly and we understand this may be of an inconvenience to you but we believe that most guests appreciate that our private beach is one of the cleanest in the island and that is because we work hard to get it as clean as possible . We hope this last experience with us hasn't permanently tarnished your perception of our resort and we hope you give us a second chance to prove to you that this has just been an exception. Best Regards, Tom Storup Rooms Division Manager

All reviews are true - the views are gorgeous, convenient communication with the beach despite the mountain, accessibility to the nearest population (three shuttles in one direction from the hotel, or you can walk), private beach with free sun loungers and umbrellas, 2 sets of beach towels, water in free in the room and in the gym, luxurious (and already varied!) breakfast. All this is in a real jungle, very green and beautiful. Yes, there are monkeys (rarely, because they scare them away) - can be solved by calling a person with a slingshot)), there are mosquitoes (few) - can be solved with fumitox, the prices on the beach are high, but this is a question of convenience. And you don’t have to assume that the room has just been built just for you. The hotel is excellent and definitely recommended for a visit.

Excellent hotel on the mountain with its own funicular. Luxurious views of everything - sea, jungle, waterfall. Great beach. It's shallow at low tide. We reached the corals of the neighboring island. We lived in a large building near the sea. Fine. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to Kai Bay along the beach in the shade. You need to go up near the reception to the barrier, cross the bridge and immediately turn left. Index Porn Bungalow. Not a joke. Return to the sea and go to the pier with boats. Then follow the road to the right to 7 Elevan. There is a shuttle 3 times a day. Sometimes it's crowded. In the low season there is an ambush with exchangers. There is a bank on Klon Prao and it is open 7 days a week. This hotel has several nuances that you need to pay attention to. Shoes! Constant inclines, feet sweat or after a shower. In the wet season it’s easy to walk on the slopedangerous! Monkey!!! Cute, fluffy, impudent thieves with decent teeth. Any scratch from this beast can cause trouble to your health. This is the only serious reason not to come here with small children. And for romantics there is Romantic Road! Check with your hotel about the flowering time of frangipani (a type of magnolia). There will be a lot of photos and impressions. The rest is in other reviews.…
