PatrickMuller & Igor Preacco 2009-04-18	First Bungalow Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach We was recurring customer in this hotel since the last 10 Years, but no more again since this trip. First Bungalow never take care about your room reservation request, The last three years we have requested with two month in adavance, we never have the room requested when arrive, all time negotiation and have the requested room in the followings days. You will be charged to return to the airport and if the coach was not on Airport, you will never recived the promised money back for the service. If the Beach in front still a very good one on Samui, the price / Service level arrived at ground state! The good is good but very expensive regarding the quality you paid for a 4 stars in a 2 stars hotel. The price of the beer, coke and food is very expensive. A good recommandation, take a other hotel in Chaweng Beach, and enjoy the Beach in front of this Hotel, no use theyr service.	Very good as habit, no support at all from First Bungalow, Bad as habit
Brian R Pawsey 2009-04-10	First Bungalow Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach We always spend some time here when in Samui.Poolside bung. by far the best perfect for pool and beach.On the best part of the beach lovely location.Gone up quite a bit but still one of our favourite places to stay.Rooms comfortable and staff helpfull.
Helena Andersdotter Hegglov 2009-02-04	First Bungalow Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach Friendly and welcoming staff. Spacious rooms, clean and nice. Pool area very nice but for us, with a 6 year old, the pool was too deep. I could hardly reach the bottom with my toes. The beach was secluded and private but with alot of beach vendors. The hotel is a bit off the shopping and restaurants in Chaweng. I would rate this a good 3star hotel.	The booking was excellent!
Brooke Hoefler 2009-01-01	First Bungalow Beach Resort, Chaweng Beach When traveling to Asia always remember to have low expectations...however this is difficult to do when paying 150 euros a night. It was our dream to stay in a beach bungalow, but when we arrived it was very rustic, smelled musty, and needed updating. Breakfast was included, but we often slept in as it left more to be desired...plus the wild dogs that were always running around the food service area and the pool... After one night on the beach we had a look at the pool side bungalow and were pleased at the new renovations, quietness, and cleanliness of this location...and it was half the price! Overall it was an OK experience...perhaps I will look further down Chaweng Beach next time..	Booking service was great and always got back to me regarding questions! Thanks!
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.
