RECOMMENDED KOH CHANG SPA & RESORTS BY TRAVELLERS

~1~
The Spa Koh Chang Resort
15/4 Moo 4 Baan Salak kok, Koh Chang 23170, Thailand


A beautiful and tranquil spa and resort on Koh Chang. The Spa Koh Chang Resort sets in the most beautiful scenery of gardens. The landscape of this Koh Chang resort shows with the love lavished on the design of this property's gardens. Set slightly inland on a small lagoon, with a scattering of rooms up a hillside. The resort provides a great vegetarian restaurant, massage room, yoga roof, small pool, and even a little outdoor gym.

This place is a real garden of eden - very tranquil. You can't see the sea, but can hire kayaks to take yourself there through the mangroves. They lay on a minibus to the busier beaches 3 times a week. If you want to chill out in a beautiful environment, The Spa Koh Chang Resort is perfect. Not super-lux, but certainly comfortable.

Koh Chang Cliff Beach Resort
38/4 Baan Klongphrao, Koh Chang 23170, Thailand



Koh Chang Cliff Beach Resort is a place you will be pleased with splendid seas and tropical breezes. If you do not want a swimming pool crammed full of loud noise, then stay at this resort, and take one of the extremely private cliff top houses. Enjoy sea-island-jungle views from a balcony, it is the romantic view completely satisfied for one who adores the olden days of Jim Thompson's Thailand.


The sheets, decor and even the bath fittings are of an unexpectedly high calibre. The food is however, sub par, compared to the excellent buffet breakfast one expects at four star hotels in Bangkok.

A giant hammock on the beach, sailing and paddling equipment for hire and a covered massage hut built on rocks overlooking the sea for the most relaxing rolling surf Thai massage you could ever want are waiting for you when you trek down from your own little house on the cliffside.

Koh Chang Tropicana Resort & Spa
26/3 Moo 4 Klong Prao beach, Koh Chang 23170, Thailand


A recommended hotel at Koh Chang for Young singles, Girlfriend getaway, Older travelers, Families with young children. There is an excellent restaurant in Whitesands which is built in a tree. The food and atmosphere is great. But the hotel food in Koh Chang Tropicana Resort and Spa is expensive compared to Thai prices. There are good restaurants to eat at. Next door is the Blue Lagoon cookery school - this is excellent.

The room in this Koh Chang resort is lovely. Lots of trees and shrubs so you can feel private and a large amount of space with massive bed and lounge area, plus mini bar and huge shower and toilet.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the place was spotlessly clean. Amazing location in a very quiet area, considering the current amount of development on Koh Chang.
