Chaba Cabana Beach Resort

Koh Samui, Thailand

Virgin rating

The hotel

In arguably the prettiest spot on Koh Samui, the Chaba Cabana Beach Resort is a bright and cheerful island escape on the soft white sands of Chaweng Beach – studded by palm trees. From rooms to reception, it’s been designed with a tropical tribal flavour. Cashing in on its beachfront spot, its pool stretches out towards the sands and its restaurant windows open up to reveal infinite views of the sea. But, if you can tear yourself from the vista, it also puts you just a walk from the shops, bars and restaurants of lively Chaweng itself, making it ideal for relaxation and recreation.

good location giving great views across the bay, sea is as clear as, allowing people to walk along way out Very peaceful and relaxing with a short cab ride into Chaweng centre with lots of bars and restaurants, Jimmy Wus bar was a favourite with live bands on every night staff here at the hotel are very friendly and accomodating, nothing seems too much trouble.Good choice of food at breakfast ,fantastic fresh omlettes cooked with a smile we arrived 23rd October for 9 nights and didnt see any rain, temperatures got as high as 36 c .I had 2 nights in hospital nothing to go with hotel but staff moved us into ground floor accomodation as I had a mobility problem which was lovely. The owner asked my wife how I was every day whilst in hospital which was appreciated and even took my wife to the hospital when needed We would like to give a shout out to jampen for his efforts and friendliness for our family as nothing was too much trouble, a great asset to the hotel Read less

We are at the hotel now and it is a truly stunning location with steps down to the beach and bath temperature sea. We have travelled the world extensively and it blew us away, the Thai’s who work here are amazing, friendly,helpful and so so polite as they all are. The rooms are nice and do what they say on the tin, the only gripe is you open the front door and you are literally in your bedroom for all to see, if you are having a lay in. Could do with some kind of screen or break for a bit more privacy. The WiFi is shocking and unless you are in the lobby or restaurant you won’t have any signal which in this day and age is more than a little annoying especially with 2 kids in tow. The view of the beach from the pool will keep you coming back for more ! Read less

Right at the corner of Chaweng beach. Quite steep to get to at first if you riding bike or driving but you will get used to it if everytime you leave the hotel or come back. The beach is awesome clean, the breakfast is international and by the beach, the rooms are great. We took a villa as we hate climbing stairs. No lifts in resort. The normal… Read more
Right at the corner of Chaweng beach. Quite steep to get to at first if you riding bike or driving but you will get used to it if everytime you leave the hotel or come back. The beach is awesome clean, the breakfast is international and by the beach, the rooms are great. We took a villa as we hate climbing stairs. No lifts in resort. The normal rooms have flights of steps at level 3 highest so carrying heavy luggages will be hard. Great ocean view & really peaceful at nights. All the guest service officers are friendly and attentive. We rent vehicle from hotel. Good quality and no deposit required. Will come back. Read less

We had the most amazing time staying at Chaba Cabana. The rooms were great, the food was great, the location and facilities were great. But best of all were the amazing, friendly staff.

Our first time to Koh Samui, and a lovely hotel. The welcome was great, free taxi, the room was massive and very clean. The pool was fresh, which was great for how hot it was, and a welcome.

The pool bar and food was good, and the breakfast was lovely. It was a walk into town, so we got a grab each time, as the road for the first 200m can be interesting. Overall, great staff and did everyone to make your stay lovely. Thanks everyone, we will be back Read less
