Chai Chet Resort — Hotel in Ko Chang

A hotel with a large well-groomed area, a magnificent swimming pool and good buffet breakfasts. My rating is 3 out of 5, points reduced due to minuses.Pros:1) Large view pool with hydromassage and fountains, free towels, many sun loungers.2) The hotel is located on a cape, the area faces east and west, where there are beautiful sunsets.3) A varied, hearty breakfast buffet: soups, hot dishes, snacks, fruits, vegetables, etc.4) It’s quiet at night and in the morning, no one disturbs your sleep if your neighbors are normal people.5) The air conditioner is powerful but quiet. Wi-Fi allows you to watch streaming video without delay.6) Every evening there is a fire show on the shore.7) 5 min walk to 7-Eleven, Lotus and makashnitsa supermarkets. Unlike 7-Eleven, Lotus sells cheap ripe fruit by weight and allows you to pay by credit card without any restrictions.Minuses:1) There is no private beach, because... The coast is rocky, but the hotel is adjacent to the large beach of the neighboring hotel.2) The restaurant is located outdoors, it is very hot after 9AM, I advise you to have breakfast no later than 8AM.3) Very large groups of Chinese come to the hotel, but this is not always the case.4) In my standard room there was no hot water (the heater was broken), the safe did not work (the power supply was torn out, and they did not give me the master key), there were no shelves for clothes in the closet or in the room, there was no shower.5) Staff theft: when leaving, I forgot a shirt and a USB flash drive in the room. In the evening I wrote to the hotel and asked to keep these things at the reception in order to personally pick them up in 2 days. They told me that they found nothing in my room. My things could only be picked up by the staff who did the check-out or cleaning the room after...

We were able to check in early which was nice for us, Villa Garden room. It shared a deck with another room with a view of the garden and ocean. The deck also had a regular sized table and 2 chairs, great for working on a laptop, visiting or playing games. The room was clean, had a large king bed (2 doubles pushed together), choice of soft or hard pillow, nice. Fridge, coffee, kettle, TV (Thai), 2 bottles of water provided. Bathroom with nice shower, separated from rest of bathroom by short wall. Good wifi. No problems with noise bothering our sleep. ||Breakfast buffet was a selection of Western and Thai, all good. They varied everyday. Also egg station, bread for toast, fresh fruit and salads also.||We loved their pool. It was large with a view of the water and deep enough for swimming but shallow enough to stand in and visit. It had lounge chairs around in the shade and sun and some had umbrellas. There is a separate small pool for the little kids. Nice vegetation around and a bathroom close by. The restaurant is next to the pool so handy to order food and beverages.||All along Khnong Prao the beach, it is getting smaller over time. Nature is taking the sand slowly and since we started going there several years ago, several metres of beach has disappeared affecting all resorts along that beach. Chai Chet has a large shaded area that opens onto the beach and had loungers for sitting. When tide is out, the loungers can be taken onto the sand for the sun lovers. We enjoy the shade and had ample room for that while enjoying the view. ||The staff were very helpful and friendly. We've stayed there several times in the past and will stay there again...
