Tourists also give excellent marks to the chefs and waiters working in the hotel restaurants. Most guests admire the delicious and varied dishes served both buffet style and a la carte.
There are also valuable tips in the reviews. For example, many people recommend not renting a car, but a bike, for traveling around the island, since it will be much more convenient to travel on mountain roads.
In this Thai paradise, some tourists were able to find a negative point: there is no possibility for independent walks. Many wanted to walk independently from the hotel to the sea coast. At the same time, the tourists were not scared at all by the remoteness of the sea from the hotel, but the route itself, passing along the highway without a dedicated zone for pedestrians.
In general, all travelers were satisfied with their stay, if there were any trifles, then they were completely compensated by other advantages of the hotel.
Koh Chang Resort & Spa fully met their expectations. Most tourists would not mind returning to this Thai island, namely to this hotel.
