Natalie McDonald 2008-10-01	Seascape Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach We booked 3 nights at Seascape and had a quiet comfortable Standard Bungalow which was suitable for 2 people, reasonably clean and housekeeping did a good job keeping it tidy and changing towels, toilet paper etc. The water that filled the toilet and came out of the sink and shower was a little yellow though so we had showers at my parents resort further up the beach (which was well out of our price range)!! We were happy for the price we paid for it and the staff were all very helpful. We booked an elephant trek and a 2 day dive trip through the tours desk at reception which was convenient and they also gave us discounts. Our complementary breakfast was ok - a good variety of hot and cold foods although none of it was covered so there were a few flies on some things. We hired motorbikes for 150BHT per day and they also provided helmets which was reassuring as the roads can get a little hectic and arent in the best condition in some areas. The hotel is located on a nice quiet area at the southern end of Chaweng Beach and we had perfect weather so the beach was warm, calm and clear and deck chairs and beach towels are provided for all guests. There is also a pool at the hotel although it is a little small and on the second day we noticed there were lots of floaties in it. Like most resorts on Chaweng, they have massage tables on the beach although these cannot be charged to the room. We didnt eat at the restaurant (except for breakfast) although we had a couple of cocktails from the bar which to be honest werent the nicest ones Ive had. The location of the hotel has several restaurants on the street outside the hotel and all of them offer western and local foods. There are tailor shops and other small boutiques although for a wider range of shopping it would pay to head further up the strip which is a bit of a walk but probably easier to hire a motobike or grab a taxi. Overall I would recommend Seascape if you are after an economical, quiet and relaxing stay on Chaweng with the convenience of all the shopping nearby.	No problems booking - prompt and informative service.
Bukina Tatiana 2008-09-10	Seascape Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach Хороший отель по уровню обслуживания и вышколенности персонала. Прекрасное расположение и тихий отдых. Спасибо.	Большое спасибо за прекрасно организованный отдых.
Jennifer Murphy 2008-08-28	Seascape Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach On arrival we were devastated to see that the bungalow was not to the standard that was advertised to us, I was not happy when I arrived, as the bungalow appeared to be unsafe for two young girls traveling alone, I would not recommend it, also it was way too small to be sharing with a friend, it would be better for someone backpacking and not staying for 2 weeks like we were. The pool that was advertised was more like a paddle pool and way too small but we were lucky to be on the beachfront and so we used this service instead. The restaurant was very expensive considering we were in Thailand so we walked outside to a little place which was called a bakery but they served everything, a sandwich was only 80-100 baht but in the restaurant in the hotel it was 200 baht for the same thing but it was a lot nicer in the bakery. We had to argue with the reception when we arrived as they were not willing to accommodate us when we tried to explain what we had actually booked. The cleaners in the hotel were very trusting, as there were many occasions where money was left in the room by mistake on my part and it was never touched. If your thinking of bringing your laptop I wouldn t bother, as the internet was very expensive to use from your room but they have internet services in the reception which was ok. Other than that, I sound as if I had a terrible time but I didn t, they promised to change us to another room the morning after I arrived and they kept to their word and reduced the price of the other room to help us be happy and enjoy our stay which I did, I would stay there again as I know what to book and what not to book.	Booking of the service was fine but it was slightly misleading, but when I did have a problem I called the head office and they gladly gave me the info i needed.
Bernard Delaney 2008-08-07 until 2008-08-19	Seascape Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach Lovely little resort right on the beach at the south end of chewang walking distance from everything, Staff very friendly and helpfull. Standard bungalow was a little small but fine for the price, clean and tidy. Will stay here again.	Use it all the time.Great and reliable.
Peter Henry 2008-07-30 until 2008-08-06	Seascape Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach Seascape Beach Resort is in an excellent location on the beach at the southern end of Chaweng Beach.We had booked the lowest price acommodation and were offered a small bungalow close to the resort entrance.We declined the offer and negotiated an upgrade,to one of the spacious, and much more expensive, bungalows overlooking the pool.It was worth every penny and we had a great 17 days holiday.The staff and service were excellent,a wide choice of dishes was available for breakfast and the resort food was very good.Situated on the same stretch of beach as Poppies resort, where one night cost £200, we thought Seascape was much better value and would thoroughly recommend it.	Having used Sawadee several times before we have come to expect first class service and once more we were not disappointed, thank you.
David Nicholson 2008-07-24 until 2008-07-31	Seascape Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach These beach bungalows are lovelly, with clean bedding, towels, and good cleaning each day. The staff are friendly and helpful. It is ideally located at the quieter end of Cheweng Beach, which means you can get a Baht cab to the more noiser end for 20 baht each. The breakfasts were very nice, with fruit, bacon, eggs, pancakes, and good coffee. The restraunt food is local and authentic and not over priced for a hotel beach setting. The pool although small is clean and very refreshing. The bungalows open out on to the beach and tables are set out for BBQ s if the weather is dry. We had a lovelly meal there, a little more expensive, but the staff, food and service was well worth it.	Excellent no problems
Zafraynn 2008-07-16 until 2008-07-20	Seascape Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach Sawadeeka...We booked the single bangalow thru the internet for 4 days. I also requested for airport pick-up(THB400 each way). Upon arrival at airport the pick-up was there waiting for us as expected. The ride to the hotel is about 15 mins only thru some small villages. At the hotel, Check in was no problem. Takes about 10 mins. we were given room 402 which was right across the reception. I immediately declined this room as it will be busy & noisy being directly across the reception & quite close to the main road. Akwa hotel is directly across this road & playing loud music which can be heard from my room. I returned back to the reception to have my room changed. They told me that there was no more room. When I was persistent, they however had another room for us. They gave us room 410 which was about 50 meters away. Closer to the coffee house & beach front. The people at the reception was not as friendly as expected. They find that it is difficult to smile at you as you have taken up their TV time! There is a TV next to them that they were watching all the time. The room is a little run down. The aircond controller wasn t working. The technician came in 2 mins when called but he can t fix it as it was already around 9pm. He said that he would fix it the next day but never turned up at all. So we were stuck with an aircond where we can t control the temp at all. Then, there was the problem with the water pressure in the shower. It was so low that it was so difficult to shower. We complained the next morning. The technician came to have a look but couldn t fix it. So now we were again stuck with a low water pressure in the shower thru out our stay. Then, there was this rattling noise behind our room which prevented me from a good night sleep. It was from a water pump for the swimming pool or something I guess. This they managed to fix the next day. The room actually requires new paint & decor. Same goes to to toilet. There was also some problem with the mosquitoes. Everytime we entered the room there were mosquitoes . We fumigated the room the 1st night but the mosquitoes were always there everyday. We have no idea where they were coming in from.... maybe from the toilet drainage system. The people at the reception were not very friendly when you complain of anything. Same goes to the tour desk lady when you want to book for a car or something. Breakfast was the same every morning... toast, eggs, bacon, coffee, tea, fruits ..... On the 3 night, the aircond was giving us some problem. It was shuting on and off by itself. We asked for a table fan. They gave us one but this fan also has some problem. It was stuck to only 1 speed. At high & we can t control it. There was also some kind of smell coming into the room so we had to buy an air freshner for the room. As our flight was delayed we were charged another THB500 for extra 5hrs stay which was resonable. However the only consolation was when we checkout we were not charged the 3% for using credit card for payment. This was due to the problem we had with the aircond. However, the entire stay was OK. Most staff were friendly. The single bangalow room is a bargain for only THB 1500 a night if you only stay in the night & busy out the rest of the day. The pool is OK & beach front is also OK. You can get a good place on the beach to relax or swim. But the pool will close around midnight. The deluxe bangalow was seen as better so is the hotel rooms but cost 2 times more. Overall it was an OK hotel as location on beach was good & you have plenty of amenities around the hotel. Food, Convenience stores, Car/Bike rentals & shops.	Booking from the internet was easy & replies were prompt.
AFANAS`EV ANDREY 2008-07-05 until 2008-07-12	Seascape Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach Negative, very negative, using Russian word DERMO . We stayed in Seascape Beach Resort 4 years ago, changes: 1) Bungalows are dirty, nor repaired. 2) Staff is unfriendly, not polite. 3) Linen became yellow (from white). Not recommended.	Great.
j clayton 2008-07-01 until 2008-07-03	Seascape Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach Seascape is one of the cheaper beachfront properties on chaweng, and as long as you choose your room wisely it s a good choice - though don t expect it to be anything like Poppies next door! We initally booked a standard bungalow but on arrival took one look at it, a small dark unappealing room, and immediately upgraded to a garden view room. I m really glad we did, as the rooms are very pleasant with a huge double bed and decent bathroom. Only thing was that the garden view rooms are on the ground floor and people walk right past your window so you need to keep the curtains closed. The place is right on a particularly nice stretch of the beach - it s much quieter than further north, and the sea seems clearer. We had a very pleasant time here.	worked great for us
Mark Ramsay 2008-06-25 until 2008-06-29	Seascape Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach Nice place rooms are a bit dated but still nice enough for the price. Location is great right on beach, nice pool with good service, buffet breakfast was great. Every one there was helpfull and friendly would stay again. Mark and Frances, NZ
