Chaweng Regent

Koh Samui, Thailand

Virgin rating

The hotel

The Thai-style, low-rise cottages create an intimate, tropical atmosphere here. You’ll be surrounded by palm trees and right on the gently shelving white sands of Chaweng Beach. There’s plenty to do if you feel the urge - maybe a spot of snorkelling or beach volleyball? Or head to the spa for an exotic Thai rejuvenating treatment. Enjoy international, seafood and Thai dishes at Chom Talay beachfront restaurant, plus there's plenty of local restaurants to try just a short walk away.

Our second visit this year and it didn’t disappoint. My husband wanted to return to celebrate his “big” birthday and he couldn’t have been spoilt more. The warm welcome we received was second to none. It’s worth the money to book the airport pick up. Tutu has the biggest smile and you soon forget the long journey. Jeen is always so caring too. Our request for the same room was honoured and the decorated bed made such a nice touch. The benefits of an older hotel is the spacious storage and room to spread out. Lovely Nora kept it immaculate as usual. The renovated beach decking area is fantastic and the sun beds are without doubt the best you could wish for. The views are breathtaking. It was nice this visit to have the opportunity to kayak, which is included for free. Jet, Wee, Ditt, Mos and Joe are the best guys ever, not only super attentive but always a kind word. We have become very fond of them. We cannot describe the genuine kindness we received, we were showered with big hugs and warm greetings from ALL the staff. Breakfast caters for every single tastes, such variety and beautiful presentation. Thanks to Title, Yea, Oil and Jang. The location of this hotel is such a bonus. Leaving the tranquility of the hotel and grounds, as you step outside, everything is on your doorstep. Chaweng is a safe area and it’s nice to walk up the strip. This time it was nice to have the addition of Daniel the manager and Weis. They work hard to ensure any queries are dealt with swiftly. We are already planning to return again. We love this hotel. The biggest thanks to everyone of the staff. Can well recommend this gem of a hotel! Read less

We stayed at Chaweng Regent for 3 nights and we arranged for the Hotel Event Coordinator, Khun Air to arrange our wedding on the 2nd night. The hotel itself was very nice and the staff were wonderful, welcoming and accommodating, looking after everything we asked for and even preempting our needs. Our room was modern and smelt amazing. The cleaning staff did a great job every day making the room refreshed and beautiful. Khun Air organised us a lovely wedding, she was well organised and incredibly kind. We were surprise by her looking after us the entire stay. I definitely needed that! Our wedding exceeded our expectations and the flowers were the most beautiful I've seen. The celebrant, make up & hair lady and photographer were all lovely and very skilled. If you are wanting to get married in Thailand, Khun Air and Chaweng Regent make it easy with only good surprises at a very reasonable cost. Nothing is too much trouble. We are from New Zealand and found it easy to organise via email and whats app. Read less

This resort deserves WELL over 5 stars!! My husband and I came here for our honeymoon, and Chaweng Regent Beach Resort delivered an amazing and romantic experience. Tucked away in an ideal location, you are close enough to the hustle and bustle, food, nightlife and shopping that you can take a short walk, yet once you walk through the entrance the location is peaceful and feels like a remote, romantic get away. The resort itself is peaceful, absolutely gorgeous, and incredibly romantic. And for the adventurous, there are tucked away treasures and private spots scattered throughout. The lanscaping is luscious and tropical, and the bungalows are luxurious and private. Ours had a private entrance and small fenced in yard, with a semi-outdoors hotub. The beach right in front of the property is so gorgeous and pristine it did not even feel real, nor did pictures do it justice! We walked up and down the beach, and the section in front of this hotel had the cleanest crystal clear waters and sand. Further down sometimes there was more seaweed and grasses, but this area was perfect. The staff and service were incredible! Staff were kind, and surprised us wih a few extra niceties for our honeymoon (if you go for your honeymoon, mention it in the notes when you book your stay and when you arrive!). We were a little hesistant to honeymoon at a property that was not adults-only, but it was never problem! It seems there are more kid friendly areas and that is typically where they stayed. We are not lounge-by-the-pool vacationers, so I can not speak on that much, except to say that there are two big pools. One is located right off of restaurant and seemed to be where families congragated and people liked to sunbathe and hangout more. The other seemed a little bit more private and was more of an adult friendly area. The view from the central pool is of the prisitine beach. The prices are very reasonable, the food is great, and I believe you get great value and access to beautiful amentities for the price. Extras like the beachfront candlelit dinner, massage packages, and meals were all of great quality, were priced very well- not too high or too low- and were well worth what we paid. We did walk around and look at some of the other hotels we had considered, and were SO glad that we went with this one. Staying further down the street would have also meant being right behind all the clubs and bars. Chaweng Beach is a geat area if you want variety, but if you are looking for quiet in the evenings, you want to be further down. This property let us be within walking distance when we wanted to go out, and then have peace and tranquility away from it all when we didn't. The room was comfortable and romantic with relaxing Thai design elements and lot's of natural light, and the location is both tranquil and convenient. The staff is amazing and kind, and Aui in particular showed us the most amazing hospitality. Just ask, and they will give you ALL the tips, help you get a cab or other tansporation, give you recommendations, etc. I recommend them to EVERYONE traveling to Koh Samui. Our stay here could not have been more perfect, I would give 10 stars if I could! Read less

Terrible hotel, do not go near! They are unreliable, unresponsive, and treat their guests as a joke. We booked the GRAND ROYAL SUITE BEACHFRONT, but we didn’t receive what we reserved. We were given a side room with a view of the pool and constant noise. Since you can see the sea from the side, they consider it a “sea view,” ignoring the fact that it’s not the promised front beach front. We were not willing to stay at the hotel because they didn’t honor our reservation and gave us a different room. We had to endure pool noise, dining hall noise, and sunbeds for the central pool right outside our room. We left the hotel, and they refused to refund us, even though we paid the full price for 4 nights. We booked another hotel on the island. During one of our beach walks, we realized that other guests were staying in the room that was supposed to be ours, the one we paid for. We have video evidence of everything, with dates. This is outrageous and shows complete disregard for the customer’s money. On Instagram and their website, they advertise the beachfront room with specific photos, but you might not get what you saw online. They have three such rooms, two of which are truly beachfront, while the third is further back, with a very noisy pool view. In short, they wasted an entire day of our vacation. They didn’t give us the room on time, and when we wanted to leave, they delayed us. We had to find alternative accommodation for a couple with two children. Read less
