Palm Island Hotel, Chaweng Beach
It is a very so-so hotel i must say, the room is just very basic include all other facilities like reception, and so on. The pool is the only thing that is nice and another positive thing is that hotel locates on the northern Chaweng which is more quite and just next to the beach. I found other hotels close by more tempting to stay, next time i will pay some more to stay at other hotels. You may also need 10 minutes work to the center Chaweng area. 
Work fine as it used to be.

Hotel is on beginning of Chaweng beach.Rooms are small but large balcony. Have a great view to the pool and the sea. Pool is clean and ok for swimming. I stay there for 4 nights, it was fine there.  
easy to do and fast confirmation.

The hotel was so-so only but staff friendly & helpful, food fresh & cheap. Nice swimming pool, good location! We couldn’t get the seaview room nor hut hence stayed in a garden view room. Verdict : NOT fantastic [probably a Sea View room or hut might be better choice, there was no telephone in the room, therefore no room service, poor shower].

Palm Island Hotel, Chaweng Beach
On a positive note, the owners have clearly invested in the swimming pool, which is very nicely done and looks attractive in the photos on the website. It is a shame that the same cannot be said of the hotel rooms which are very tired indeed. We stayed upstairs with (so called) Garden View. The garden was a patch of neighbouring wasteland that looks set for development. The decor was non-existent and funiture especially drab and cheap. The shower room, though functional, was basic to say the least. The restaurant area is sparse and featureless and did not seem to attract any evening diners. The location is ok, but overall, The Palm Island needs to be at least 25% cheaper to represent fair value for money. 
Whilst there was no problem with the booking service, I resented having to pay 100% up front for a hotel that I wanted to leave after a few days.

first of all. there was a confusion when we first check in. sawadee did not fax them our payment even though sawadee already charged my credit card. the hotel staffs treated us with attitudes. they said it s not their responsibility to call sawadee and confirm these things but ours. luckly, about an hour later, everything is straighten out. secondly, the seaview rooms in this hotel are misleading. the rooms are facing the sea, but you cannot see the sea. the view is blocked by the garden and the pool. therefore, seaview is pretty much the same as gardenview. other than that, this hotel is alright. the rooms are a little old. but at least you are not surrounded by little flies when you are eating in the bar or hanging around the pool

The Rooms were clean and big. The garden is very well kept and the pool is nice. The Beach was a bit disapointing. When it s low tide you can t swim in front of the Hotel. We had to walk down to the end of Chaweng every time we wantet to go swimming. Because it was always low tide in the daytime. The Hotel staff was not helpful and friendly at all. I would not stay here again.  
No Problem

The hotel was lovely. We stayed in the main hotel block on the upper floor and found both the rooms and the pool extremely clean and bright. Being upstairs and away from the pool and beach also meant the rooms were very peaceful. The hotel is at the quieter end of Chaweng beach but was all the better for it. Our only slight criticism would be of the bar and restaurant which could perhaps do with a bit of updating. However, they were perfectly adequate for breakfast and basic thai food. All in all, we had a fab holiday and were extremely happy with the hotel. 
Extremely user friendly. No problems at all.

Palm Island Hotel, Chaweng Beach
The room was as to be expected though the furniture was a bit damaged and the room could use a fresh coat of paint all in all it provided a good quiet location on the beach close to the main section of chewang but far enough away to be quiet and comfortable, breakfest was inexpensive and simple, the swiming pools were in good shape, the ocean is shallow about avg 3 ft deep up to 1000 ft out in the area of the hotel which was unusual, the beach was clean and uncrowded and the staff was helpfull, all in all It was a nice place to stay and I would consider staying their again. 
the booking was handled without any problems
