John Purnell-Webb 2008-02-18 until 2008-02-19	Chaweng Cove Resotel, Chaweng Beach I stayed for one night only and am very glad of that. I booked it on spec, off the Net and it does not live up to its claims. I paid 2700 THB for a less than average hotel room without a balcony. There is major renovation going on under the hotel block and coupled with the street noise, it is less than desirable. I cannot comment on the bungalows but they appeared very close set and I think that privacy would not be guaranteed. Breakfast was crowded and the staff struggled with the numbers. Quality of food very average. I would not recommend this establishment.	Sawadee.com as always very good and efficient.
Larry Stout 2008-01-26 until 2008-01-29	Chaweng Cove Resotel, Chaweng Beach After checking out almost all the resortss in this area including each locations on site bungalows vs hotel I selected the Chaweng Cove. I am very pleased with their entire operation. They are professional in all aspects. The staff is friendly and heds to your every beconing. They are always present and ready to serve but they do not hang right by your side. I stayed in the balcony facing the sea. I believe it was better than the bungalows. I could sit on the balcony and see the ocean very well. The bungalows are on the ground level and face one another. There is a walkway between then leading to the beach. The view was restricted because of the close proximity of the bungalows on either side of the walkway. The beach is kept clean all day. Peddlers approach you only if you ask them. Otherwise they keep their distance and smile. The location is perfect. You are near one end of the beach therefore there is not a lot of through traffic (beach or streetside). The management serves 24/7. Among the normal Thai breakfast they have egg omelets. They have rental car and motorcycles onsite. You park in front of the office (always occupied) and walk to your room. Security is ever present and stops traffic to help you get into the street. They all make you feel welcome and let you know they are there to assist you. Believe you me - that is so important as I don t speak Thai. I would highly recommend the Chaweng Cove to all people.
Kenneth Young 2007-10-11 until 2007-10-20	Chaweng Cove Resotel, Chaweng Beach Excellent room,very well designed, clean with all mod cons. Friendly staff particularly in the poolside bar. Very good value for money. Breakfast minmal but enough, restaurant good during the day.	Always book with sawadee . com, never had a problem.
Paul Shipman 2007-06-14 until 2007-06-25	Chaweng Cove Resotel, Chaweng Beach Very nice location and staff. Feel it may be a bit crowded once renovations complete and if fully occupied.	Very efficient.
robert okane 2007-02-10 until 2007-02-15	Chaweng Cove Resotel, Chaweng Beach was very unhappy with room. did not know it was directly over the main roadway till we arrived. From 1PM to 8PM a truck would drive by with loudspeakers blaring telling you not to miss kickboxing event each evening. From 10PM to 2PM music from nearby disco made it impossible to sleep and when I tried to tell that to the staff, no one spoke english. Never had prior paid for breakfasts because always could now not get up that early.	happy as usual
STEINAR LINDSTROM 2007-02-09 until 2007-02-21	Chaweng Cove Resotel, Chaweng Beach What a wonderful place to stay. Great value for your money. We desided to book because our daughters had been her two years earlier. Lucky us. So nice people. So nice beach. Wonderful breakfast, lunch and dinner - and cheap. Walk around to neighbour hotels and was so happy that we had decided Chaweng Cove Resotel. For normenn: dette er virkelig valuta for pengene. Kan anbefales av oss og våre to vennepar som har vært her i uke 6 og 7 i 2007. Fantastisk strand, mat og vennlighet. Topp thai masasje på stranda. Ingen negative overaskelser i det hele tatt.	Perfect - everything.
Michelle Wing-Han Cheung 2006-12-26 until 2006-12-31	Chaweng Cove Resotel, Chaweng Beach I have to say I was very disappointed with this hotel. I contacted the hotel via their email, not sawadee website, regards a change in my reservation dates and received confirmation that all was fine and my dates had been changed and the room booked accordingly. However, when I arrived at the hotel, they had no record of the change and denied the email. I thought this rather strange as I still had the email. They were able to give us a room but only after a heated discussion. The rooms themselves are dated and the air-conditioning broke down on day 2 of our stay there (garden view bungalow). The bungalows are opposite each other so you look straight into someone else s room and therefore I had the curtains closed most of the time during my stay there. The staff themselves do come across as friendly, except when you have problems and then some of them develop attitude problems!! The place itself is disorganised and the staff don t seem to know what they are doing. I organised, and confirmed twice, my transport to the airport for my flight home with reception and then on appearing at reception at 9am (as requested), I was informed that the car had already left and I hadn t booked the transport. This really was the final straw with this hotel, especially as the person on reception was the lady I confirmed the transport with the day before. I finally caught a taxi myself to the airport which cost me less than it would have if I had gone with the hotel. The hotel itself is quite a way south of the main Chaweng bit so you can expect a 10-15min walk to the bars etc. The only good thing I would say about this hotel is that breakfast had a good choice of options available. Overall, I would not recommend anyone stay at this hotel. It is disorganised and overpriced and I can easily say there are cheaper hotels of equivalent or higher standard available to choose from.	Booking through sawadee website itself was easy.
Ray Meadows 2006-12-22 until 2006-12-28	Chaweng Cove Resotel, Chaweng Beach The Hotel has a nice appearance and all the people were very agreeable. This is certainly a nice place to stay. It is however, a bit far from the nightlife but that can be an advantage and its easy to get around. The beach is good here though they don t have enough beach chairs. They seem to have a shortage of hot water but after complaining twice they improved the situation somehow. Free breakfast comes with the room and is quite tasty but the eggs are risky (I threw one up). Apparently standard room means roadside so these would all be a bit noisy. Note that if you stay over 12/24 you will be forced to pay $60 for a very low quality Christmas buffet (we had to go to dinner afterward). Also be aware that room keys are not unique - you can use yours to get into other people s rooms if you are drinking and get mixed up.
ALEXEI PETROV 2006-12-09 until 2006-12-18	Chaweng Cove Resotel, Chaweng Beach Staff was very helpfull and friendly, but some of them almost don t speak English (I had to re-order the taxi to the airport as my first order was not performed for some reasons). Food could be way to much better. Location is good. Swimming pool is good. The rooms are in reasonable shape. But you can hear everything at the corridor, which is sucks sometimes if you have noisy neibhours
Archana 2006-10-07 until 2006-10-09	Chaweng Cove Resotel, Chaweng Beach I would not recommend this place to anyone. Nothing like as advertised in the sawadee photos. Around 30 new bungalows are being built in the resort and they are 50% complete. The whole place is like being torn down. Every morning we were being woken up by the sound of carpenters pounding on wood. It is the ugliest resort I have ever been to. Unfortunately it was also my first day of honeymoon. We booked a sea side bungalow and it was ugly to walk through all the new construction sites to get to our bungalows. So we would step out of the bungalow to be gawked at by a million construction workers or take care to not step onto their tools. Also Remember to pack your mosquito repellent as there are a ton of those pests in the rooms. The first day I called front desk to ask for repellents. The person did not understand a word of english. We were bitten whole night long by mosquitoes. And about the front desk staff, I have never seen or met more emotional-less staff ever. No smile to greet and most of them did not speak or understand english. Totally disinterested in everything going on. Location of hotel is good otherwise. BUT its a C grade hotel not worth spending a dime on.
