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.

Lovely hotel right on the beach. Nice pool area overlooking the beach. The tide does come right up to the wall when it’s in but when it’s out the beach is gorgeous. Nice breakfast. All staff were very helpful and friendly. A special mention to Pamjam who looked after us. From making sure we had coffee in the morning at breakfast to bringing us… Read more
Lovely hotel right on the beach. Nice pool area overlooking the beach. The tide does come right up to the wall when it’s in but when it’s out the beach is gorgeous. Nice breakfast. All staff were very helpful and friendly. A special mention to Pamjam who looked after us. From making sure we had coffee in the morning at breakfast to bringing us drinks to our beds. Lovely restaurant just a short walk down the beach that does a fire show some nights. We enjoyed our week. Read less

I really don't know where to start, if your thinking of coming to Koh Samui, I cant stress to you how perfect the Chaba Cabana Hotel is. I came here in late April with 3 of my friends, and I have to say after 28 years of being on this planet and a frequent traveller, this was hands down my best holiday thus far, and I can say that was mostly down to the kind, happy, & hard working staff and beautiful location and cleanliness of this wonderful hotel. The staff could not do enough for you, the rooms were extremely clean and had everything you needed, the food was of excellent standard, and the location is just perfect. Special shout out to Tuk Tuk and the rest of the staff members who really made our experience at Chaba one to remember for a life time ! I've never reviewed a hotel but I just couldn't help myself - I'm still sad that I'm now back at work and not sipping on a cold Chang by the beach :( ! We've already booked to come back next March, but for 3 weeks ! That's how amazing this place was. Thanks you so Much to everyone at Chaba for making our trip to Thailand one to remember for a life time, and we cant wait to see you all again in March 2025 ! Big Love Tommy & the boys xxx Read less

Fantastic resort , deluxe villa was just immaculately clean and beds so comfy , the room had everything you need and just a stones throw from the best beach I’ve ever been on . The pool,area was clean and well looked after always a free sun bed and staff so helpful laying our towels out and bringing drinks to pool . The breakfasts were lovely with fresh coffee and the egg lady was amazing ! We ate here one night as they had a bbq and entertainment which was wonderful . Easy walk to shops albeit on a busy road . Will definitely stay here again it was well worth the long journey . Read less
