Rachel Jackson 2008-08-14	First Bungalow Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach Easily the best location on the island. Great hotel, excellent staff and the biggest swimming pool around. Loved our stay here, perfect for children. Nice beach and the breakfast was really good and very filling. Loved it	Will use again as very impressed with how easy it was.
Hanne Hetland 2008-08-05 until 2008-08-09	First Bungalow Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach Nice location on the beach (Chaweng Noi Beach) and good breakfast. The pool was very nice. Staff didn t know english that well. Have to take taxi to the center of chaweng road.	very good and reliable
Christina Ring 2008-06-18 until 2008-06-24	First Bungalow Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach There´s only two good things about this hotel and thats the beach and the pool! I have a hard time finding words to describe how bad the rest is!!! We booked a Seaview bungalow and I can tell you that there was nothing seaview about it at all! Two or three of the bungalows had a seaview and an ok location the rest is not worth the money at all. I have learned the lesson to never book a hotel where I have to pay in advance. We wanted to leave the place but it was too much money involved. Staff at the front desk were rude and had absolutly no interest in helping the guests. For example, the Internet was down for several days and they didn´t pay back the money for unused time to guests that was checking out. The restaurant took forever to serve your food and when you got it it´s cold. We tried it a few times just to see if we had been unlucky the times before, but no. Many guests left the restaurant because just a few in their company got what they had ordered. To sum things up, this is an overpriced hotel that only has the beach and the pool to offer. I´m sure you can find much nicer places with equally good beach and pool acess for this money! I´m glad that we had stayed at two really nice hotels before this one, because First Bungalow does not represent the land of smiles! We (a family of four) will never stay there again!	Great!
Glenn Robinson 2008-06-06 until 2008-06-20	First Bungalow Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach Hotel reviews are there for a purpose...to inform people of what the hotel is really like. I just wish I had taken heed to the many reviews about the first bungalow. If you wish to be insulted by incrediably rude, arrogant and disrespectful reception/front desk staff then most certainly you need to book at this resort. No problems ever with the room cleaning staff, in fact they should be the ones on the front desk if they could speak English. I blame the management of this hotel for training their staff on how to be offensive. I m sure that others have had a wonderful holiday experience at this place but for this family of six, we will never return or ever recommend it to anyone.	As always, a very professional, easy to book with company. Have always and will continue to use Sawadee when coming to Thailand
N Watts 2008-05-09 until 2008-05-15	First Bungalow Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach Located on corner it was beautiful spot and the front beach bungalows are worth it. The Resort is not as flashy looking as a some, and its several minutes more walk to the busy side of town but the beach is much more secluded. I asked my girlfriend to marry me there and she said yes. The perfect setting. Staff friendly. We hired a scooter and motorbike from across the road and you can get around the island at your own leisure.	Excellent, efficient and prompt service and e-mail replies. No problems when it came to checkin into hotel.
sean mustoe 2008-04-12 until 2008-04-15	First Bungalow Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach The resort is a little out of town but shares a rather exclusive beach with five or six higher end hotels in a large cove populated by married couples over 30. I immediately upgraded to a beach bungalow which was metres from the beach and worth every penny. Relatively quiet beach and sensible folk. Accomodation was good, but satellite TV had few english channels and few quality channels. Good buffet breakfast which made you get up for it ( 6-10 am). Loved my stay because of the location and nice beach. I have reservations about having to pay over-priced taxi fares and less than friendly staff. I reported brown jellyfish in the water where i was swimming, in vicinity to rocks. A member of staff ame to see me in less than friendly manner and i had to remonstrate with her I was trying to be responsible for good of guests. When i paid, nobody thanked me for my stay. Still a good place to stay, and good massage service on the beach. Do your homework on brown jellyfish though.
A & J Still 2008-03-23 until 2008-03-29	First Bungalow Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach First we were booked for the new building room which was a disappoinment. No window,only frostedclass door to toilet and balcony. There was no view, depressing. Later we got a nicer room around the pool. Pool area was beautiful. Price-quality is not very good, a bit overpriced. Beach is wonderful but you need to reserve sunbeds early which is quite dull. Breakfast tasty and sufficient. Overall it was ok for 6 nights stay but we rather not visit this hotel again.	Excellent!
Herfurth Ricarda 2008-02-20 until 2008-02-27	First Bungalow Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach Wir haben 1 Woche im Resort verbracht. Als wir abends ankamen, bekamen wir ein Zimmer, das wir nicht gebucht hatten. Kein Fenster im Schlafraum, nur im Bad. Von der Balkontüre vom Bad aus blickte man genau auf den Balkon vom Nebenhaus in ungefähr 1 Meter Entfernung. Wir beschwerten uns, bekamen aber erst am nächsten Tag das gebuchte Zimmer, allerdings mit Einzelbetten nicht Doppelbett, wie bestellt. Der Pool war am 1. Tag schon ziemlich trüb, am 2. Tag war er grün und es wollte ihn niemand benutzen. Die Gratisliegen am Strand musste man am besten morgens um 7 Uhr reservieren sonst war alles voll. Die Sauberkeit im Speisesaal ließ zu wünschen übrig, Geschirr und Kaffee waren oft aus und man musste oft bei dem unwilligen Personal nachfragen. Strand ok. Auswahl Speisen beim Frühstück recht gut!
Alicia Bradley 2008-02-16 until 2008-02-20	First Bungalow Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach Quite nice, the room looked really new and was quite clean except for a small influx of ants every afternoon. The pool is really nice and is a good location, only a short walk into town. Having to walk up and down four flights of stairs every time we wanted to get to the room was a bit tiring but everything else was good. Don t go to breakfast too late as they stop refilling things around 9:30am. Really great hotel and only a short walk to town. We would probably stay here again.	Very easy to use and great to compare hotels around the area you want to stay in.
Richard Rudd 2008-01-29 until 2008-02-05	First Bungalow Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach I have been travelling around thailand for about 15 years and stayed in everything from a shack to some really top end hotels... This one is not to be recommended for the following reasons: 1. Bungalows are the most expensive but in a terrible condition, 2. SOmebody died on our beach while we were staying there because of rip tides that exist almost all year round. ( There are several drowning deaths a year on Chaweng side but nobody wants to publicise that!) The hotel doesn t even have a safety boat - when you consider the rip off rates this place charges, they can definately afford one!!! 3. The day to day staff are great but the front of house staff have got a seriously bad attitude. 4. The hotel refused to transfer us FOC and made us pay for airport transfers- My advice: DONT stay here! Its overcrowded, impersonal and plagued by idiots selling stuff you dont want... Go to Phangnan or LAmai or bophut/ Big Buddha beach for a far better trip.... - On the other hand, if you want to be ripped off, treated like cattle and find it hard to find anyone but Russians around, this would make the idea holiday! - What a shame because I love Thailand, and this place betrays it!!!!	Always good and this time no exception
