Chaweng Regent Beach Resort

I'm writing this review from the hotel right now. My wife, son, and I had a very comfortable 10-day holiday. The hotel is located at the beginning of the main street in Chaweng Beach, a famous area of Koh Samui. It's situated in the lively atmosphere of Chaweng, but also offers endless peace and relaxation when you retreat to your room or hotel. The staff are generally very kind. I don't know about all the rooms, but the suites are quite spacious and provide all the comforts. The mini-bar is replenished daily. The breakfast has a wide variety. The internet speed is acceptable. The deposit they take upon arrival is a bit high. There are two beautiful swimming pools, one on the beach and one in the inner courtyard. And the inner courtyard pool bar is especially nice, and the staff there are very polite. The biggest problem at the pools is that even in the early morning hours, guests occupy the sunbeds by placing their towels there. The hotel management needs to be stricter about this. The beach is very beautiful and peaceful. During our visit (the second half of January), due to the tide, the beach disappeared until late afternoon, but in the evening it was incredibly peaceful. The gym is very clean, and although there isn't a lot of equipment, you can still keep up with your workout while on vacation. There were complaints about neglect on booking sites and in reviews here. While these comments are valid, I didn't see much neglect or wear and tear. Yes, there are minor things. And also, the resort is practically in the sea, so this kind of wear and tear is normal. But still, I don't think it's a 5-star hotel. However, I was quite satisfied with my stay and, as someone who has seen other parts of Koh Samui, I highly recommend it to anyone coming to Koh Samui.

I here’s my Honest review to be honest I would never stay here. This place is horrible and I do not recommend it at all as I am currently staying here. Room Condition Was Not Up To Standards Our room was not cleaned properly, as the mattress was dirty, and the bath water was not clear but instead was murky. Basic standards of cleanliness and working plumbing should be provided in a resort of this category and price range, and their absence is unacceptable. Lack of Flexibility Concerning Our Diet We are on a special diet; thus, there are several things we cannot eat. After swimming with the children, they wanted to eat something as they were hungry and so that they would not have to get out of the pool. Our only option was to bring food ourselves as the pool restaurant could not provide anything that would suit our dietary requirements. We did not want the children to get out of the pool, get changed, go to the pool restaurant, and then return to the pool afterward, thus spending a lot of time on a relatively minor task. The Pool Attendant Was Unfriendly and Refused to Provide Any Alternatives Despite Our Situation Pool attendants stated that outside food was not allowed at the pool. When we explained that it was due to our dietary restrictions, and we only wanted our children to eat something so that they would not be hungry, they were completely unfeeling and did not suggest any alternatives. They showed no reaction whatsoever when we informed them of our dietary restrictions, and no one even thought of checking with a manager if there was something they could do to help. It was a relatively simple solution to the problem, but the staff was utterly unprepared to handle it and reacted with indignation at our seemingly modest request. As Such, Our Children Had to Leave the Pool Area Hungry with No Alternative Being Provided A Similar Situation Occurred When My Daughter Ordered a Piña Colada at the Bar. Since There Was No Menu, She Could Not Know What Was In the Drink, and It Turned Out to Contain Lemon Juice, Something She Did Not Want. Again, Nothing Was Done to Assist the Guest Despite the Obvious Inconvenience Caused. The staff bluntly told the customer that she should have known to ask for the drink without lemon juice, despite there being no menu at all, thus making it impossible to know what was in the drink. Again, no alternatives were suggested, and no apology was given. There was no recognition of this as an issue, much less an issue created by the staff. The entire problem was presented as a personal error on the part of the guest, who was being unnecessarily harassed by the staff. The Same Arrogance Was Demonstrated Toward Us, Despite Us Being Completely Unaware of the Circumstances of the Pool and Room Attendant This was not an isolated issue but instead occurred throughout our stay at the resort. In each case, responsibility was placed on us even though the initial mistake had been made by the hotel employees at the pool, restaurant, and room. The same dismissiveness was demonstrated toward us even though we had not made any errors ourselves. The Lack of Flexibility Demonstrated Was Inexcusable in This Context It is the responsibility of hotel staff to be considerate and flexible where appropriate and to take responsibility for mistakes and failures to perform their duties. None of these considerations were shown in our experience at Chaweng Beach Resort, where we felt insulted and even unwelcome by the staff. The hotel has an unacceptable attitude toward its guests. Final Impressions Between the unclean room, the rudeness of the staff, their unwillingness to provide any alternatives for food and drink despite our dietary restrictions, and their failure to take responsibility for their actions, I would not recommend this resort to anyone. Families with children and those on special diets have my most sincere apologies, and I suggest that they find a more welcoming and flexible resort elsewhere.

Chaweng Regent Beach Resort – Meine Bewertung; Wir hatten einen angenehmen Flug und wurden im Hotel freundlich empfangen. Das Zimmer war sehr schön, geräumig und für zwei Personen vollkommen ausreichend. Auch das Badezimmer war groß und sauber. Die Lage des Hotels ist hervorragend. Wer mitten im Geschehen sein möchte, ist hier genau richtig. Entlang der Chaweng Beach Road gibt es unzählige Bars, Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Das Central Samui Einkaufszentrum ist in etwa 25 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar und bietet alles, was man braucht, von Geschäften über Restaurants bis hin zu Elektronikläden. Anfangs war der Fluglärm für uns etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, da die Flugzeuge sehr tief über das Hotel fliegen. Nach wenigen Tagen haben wir uns jedoch daran gewöhnt. Für uns war dies letztendlich kein Grund, das Hotel schlechter zu bewerten. Der Strand ist sehr schön und sowohl am Strand als auch am Pool waren ausreichend Liegen vorhanden. Bei den Pools leider wenig ruhe weil zu unserer Zeit sehr viele Familien mit Kinder dort waren. Direkt vor dem Hotel gibt es eine Felszunge im Wasser, dadurch ist das Meer dort nicht ideal zum Schwimmen weil diese das Wasser bei Ebbe abhält, bei Flut bzw. so ab 14:00 kommt dann das Wasser auch wieder gut rein und fast bis zu den Liegen dann ist es deutlich tiefer. Geht man jedoch etwa 200 bis 300 Meter weiter, findet man sehr gute Bedingungen zum Baden und Schwimmen. Das Wasser ist angenehm warm und durch die geringe Tiefe kann man weit hinausgehen

This is not a 5 star hotel but only 3 star. I paid 366 Euro per night for me and my daughters. We had 1 double bed and a sofa bed! They could not even install a normal bed although there was enough space. Rooms are quite old as well. Wifi was terrible. I slept several times in 4 and 5 star hotels and the difference is huge. Some of the staff are very friendly, others aren't. At the coffee for example they are not friendly at all. This hotel is too expensive, i regret not having chosen for another one. Will not come back.

Bel resort a poche centinaia di metri dal centro di chaweng. Penalizzato un po per la grande bassamarea che c'è dalla mattina fino al pomeriggio. La spiaggia diventa più bella verso sud dove il fenomeno si nota molto meno. Personale super gentile e disponibile. Colazione normale nella media. All'interno del resort troverete fantastici scoiattoli e se sarete fortunati verranno a farvi un saluto proprio nel terrazzo con.e è capitato a noi.

Been traveling for 5+ plus years overall and this is by far the best value for money resort you can get. Poolside room is what the doctor ordered and Joe Joe at the pool bar knows how to pour an alcoholic beverage. All the staff were very very very friendly and accommodating. Location to Chaweng beach and night life is perfect. We have been here multiple times and it just never disappoints. Highly recommend - photos don’t do it justice.
