"Hotel was lovely, right on the beach and could to the local shops.
We had a terrible issue with flies, and even though we ensured all the doors and windows remained closed, these tiny flies still appeared from the drains. We had to ask the staff to come every evening to help (which they did) but it wasn’t the best welcome back after a day out to have flies on all our personal belongings, especially when the main area was in the bathroom."
"It was our first time staying here, very quiet and peaceful the breakfast area was really amazing, beach view and very peaceful! ☺️ also, the amenities they had like kayaking and golf ⛳️ areas was pretty cool too. It’s really near to the pier so it was very easy to get back home after the trip.
Also after you exit the hotel and reach the road there’s a gasoline stand PTT and 7-11 so it was an easy access to that too, very convenient."

"We have spent 6 nights in Santhiya Tree Koh Chang, even though it's rainy season, we still LOVE it there!
Design: we stay at the Pool Suite Water View, almost whole building made by carved wood, traditional Thai design and lots of character, looks very beautiful & classic.
Staffs: very friendly and excellent service
Pools: 60m long pool at the breakfast restaurant with some seats facing the pool & peaceful mountain view. Another pool right in front of the beach & close to the villas. Both pools clean & big. Santhiya Tree use pa kao ma thai sarong as beach towel, love it!
Food: delicious buffet breakfast & lots of variety. Food & drinks at the Chantara Restaurant is high quality & very yummy. The duo who sings at the restaurant are brilliant singers, you won't get bored with their performance.
Room: spacious & clean, lots of electric plugs & even beach bag for use. They burn lemongrass/ citronella oil in the bathroom to keep mozzies away & room smells good.
Massage at their spa: very good & reasonable price, sound of the waves makes the massage so relaxing, must try.
Shuttle bus to main street: every 2 hrs they can drop you or pick up from main street as there resort is not at the road side. Not sure if it's because of low season, hope the shuttle service can be more frequent.
Thank you everybody at Santhiya Tree Koh Chang for the great service and smiles. Will definitely come back for another holiday and highly recommend if you're looking for a fantastic place to stay! This beautiful place takes your stress away :)
P.S. there's a small part of the road right outside the resort leading to the entrance is unsealed with lots of potholes, pretty bumpy for cars and their shuttle bus, suggest Santhiya Tree do something with it."
"The best place to stay on vacation in Koh Chang. We've been here so many time and never want to stay anywhere else. KC have everything you need and all staff have service mind. The beach is very clean and no stone. They just renovated the new breakfast and restaurant area which is very nice."
"We've been coming to this hotel since it was names the Sea View. The new management has done some great things, but hopefully they'll continue their improvements. The service is stellar, from the moment you walk through the door, to the time you leave, everyone is helpful, professional, and happy to help. The beach is clean, the area is quiet, and it's never crowded. Ideal for anyone looking for a calm place to read and relax. Every room faces the ocean, and the views are stunning. The two areas of improvement are:
Renovating the rest of building B. It seems that the first floor has been renovated, but floors two and three are still the same ones like before.
Improving the breakfast. The previous owners offered the best breakfast on the island. The current breakfast seems a bit quickly put together, not befitting a place like the Sylvan.
In spite of these two things, we would stay there again and again.
I hope this helps."
"The hotel is not bad, there is nowhere to swim, the beach is rocky. A moped and nearby beaches help out. When booking, a double or two single beds were indicated, we chose two single beds, in the end we stayed in a room with a double bed. A small thing ruined the birthday. The trip hotline did not solve the problem, nor did the hotel administration. They cleaned every day, the pool is not big, the breakfasts are tolerable."
"Professional service. Maybe the hotel is a little smaller. The few days I went with my wife there were hardly any customers. . . Exclusive access to the rooftop swimming pool. . . . . Very cool. . . Hahaha"
"Given a beautiful plant with very beautiful garden, unfortunately everything in repair-being condition, it could be a top plant if you invest some work ...such as. Sleep rooms or not put together furniture but renew or supplement suitably ... all small things but many for it.
The staff is super and breakfast is sufficient and good."
"Originally booked on booking, the reservation was unsuccessful. I specially came to Trip.com to see if there is this hotel. Because Xiangdao is relatively niche, the reservation was successful and the date was wrong. The housekeeper also helped to contact the hotel for more check-in dates. It was still a big Trip.com! The hotel is too much beyond expectations. I thought it would be open for a long time, but the price is very high. I have my own private beach. It is great to watch the sunset. It is a foreigner's holiday. I am very good at the front desk. I have heard the best Thai English. After returning home, I still miss her a little, and I will choose brail when I have the opportunity to go to Xiangdao again."

Amazing
MMinaThe hotel might be a bit old and the location might not be a plus point but the services and facilities that have been provided are excellent. At the hotel has swimming pool, pool bar, basketball machine, table tennis, kayak and paddle board. There is buggy service which really makes our stay are super convenient. To go outside, they also have the accommodated shuttle bus but since we drove there so we haven't had chance to use their transportation much. Our family was having such a great time there. The owner and his staff are very caring and look after the guests very well. We surely stay in this hotel again if we have chance to visit Koh Chang again.

Amazing hotel - would highly recommend staying here.
We stayed at serenity resort for 2 nights on arriving at Koh Chang from Bangkok. The location is so so idyllic and relaxing, absolutely beautiful. We also stayed on the west side of the island for a couple of nights and while it is quieter on the east side of the island (ie, there is no point in leaving the resort in the evening as there is nothing really to do on the east side after dark) this is exactly what we were after.
The staff could not be more helpful and accommodating. Food and drinks at the restaurant were great and reasonably priced. Very clean and comfortable accommodation. Lovely view.
As other reviews have said, if you are staying here you will likely want your own transport so you can explore. We rented a moped from the resort at a very reasonable price. If you want to rent a car make sure you have an intl driving permit (takes a few mins to obtain but must do whilst in the UK). There’s barely any traffic on this side of the island so the drive down to long beach at the south of the island felt very safe on a moped despite the hills (and would be the same in a car). The resort staff recommended us to do this and then get kayaks over to Koh ngam, which we did and was a great experience!
The other option is to rent a taxi for a day (we were quoted c2500 baht for 6 hours) and they can drop you wherever you like and wait for you.
Thanks again for a lovely stay at serenity resort!!
AAntonIf you love beautiful nature, clean sandy beach (not like white sand), human attitude is here. The price/quality ratio is just amazing!
Private beach, next to a good restaurant on the seaside.
In general, there is a good set of depth in the sea.
A good massage salon with a stunning view.
English speaking staff is rare.
Water in bottles every day and little pleasures. A good Internet that catches even on the beach.
From the downsides - perhaps too much distance from the venue, but that's all the beauty. The lack of a teapot and a refrigerator in the cottage, and the compulsory presence of a motorbike as on the back.
I advise as much as possible.
GGuest UserGood hotel, although not new. Convenient location with many cafes and shops nearby. The territory is good, a lot of greenery. Breakfast is modest, the main diet is eggs in different versions. In addition, vegetables, fruits, herbs, pastries.
Two pools: in a large one, it seems, sea water. We did not swim there, as the water is very warm, not at all refreshing. In a small one, the water is better, clean, you can freshen up)
The beach is very beautiful, but not swimmable at all! Stones. You can enter only in coral slippers. We did not swim in the sea near the hotel.
There are kayaks, the use of hotel guests is free.
The staff is friendly, as are the locals.
But special thanks to the girls at the reception. Very hospitable, friendly, always ready to help!! And thanks to the hotel driver, he also helps with luggage upon arrival and departure! Very pleasant and helpful!
We will stay at this hotel again! ❤️

皮皮蛋_001The resort is nice and I got a great deal in the off-season, but there are a couple things to point out.
The room was quite clean, but the bathtub had quite a few long black hairs in it, which were very visible so I'm not sure how they were missed.
The resort sits on white sands beach, and the beach is great, but all bars near the resort are ”girl bars” as some people euphemistically say. Other beaches on the island have fewer of these, they all seem to be concentrated on one ***** by white sands beach.
I would stay here again as it was a great value, but I thought some potential guests might like to know these details.

GGuest UserTerrific low key resort for those that prefer it. On the beach with nice views. Staff were very friendly and the facilities were sufficient. Cheap also for food and drinks. It is a bit out of the way for those that may want more options outside of the resort, especially at night. That said, we were happy to spend most of our time at the resort. Good massage services also. Will happily stay there again.

TTan93Definitely a perfect place for hideaway. Stayed at the garden villa with private jacuzzi, have the river +sea view from the villa.
The resort is by the river and not far away from the beach. We can ride the boat provided by the hotel to the beach for free. Kayaking is available at THB 150 per hour and it’s quite fun. Location wise, there’s no 7-11 or any convenient shops within walking distance but all reachable with a motorbike, which is rentable at the lobby of the resort. The staffs are very friendly and helpful, will definitely come back!

GGuest UserA relatively remote hotel. The facilities and environment are clean and comfortable. The restaurant opening hours are too short. From 8 am to 6 pm, it is inconvenient that there is no restaurant nearby.
JJason2023I booked last minute so availability in Koh Chang was limited. Duckling was one of the highest reviewed accommodation.
Pros
Close to the main shops, restaurants etc, 10-15 minute walk to nice beach
Staff are very good
Bike rental is cheap, no deposit, trustworthy - you definitely don't need to hire anywhere else
Rooms are spacious
Water provided upon request
Bar has games, cold drinks, nice atmosphere
Cons
No safe in the room
Massive ant problem
Room only cleaned when requested
JCB digger was view but then some rooms don't have windows....
Its dry season, the river is just rocks and pipes
This place is good value. If you don't want a resort with a pool on the beach, you want good value accommodation with friendly staff who treat you like a friend rather than a customer and close to the main road
This is 2* place that could do with some changes (like having the shower gel, shampoo combo near the actual shower, not the door) but overall i was happy with the stay.
If i went back i would spend maybe 4 nights on Koh Chang, 1 at Kai Bae, 1 at Klong Kloi and 2 at White Sand. Lonely beach is a 1 hour visit.
If you book the return bus from Ekkami to Koh Chang ferry, it picks you up at the same place it drops you off (at the ferry - 80 baht to cross, mini van to Kai Bae 100 baht). There is not much at the ferry point so don't plan to stay there too long.
Returning back there i took a Songthaew from the main road (has a yellow sign in the window saying 'Pier'). Then crossing, took around 1hr 15mins. 100 baht for Songthaew.
