Chareena Beachside Reviews

The room was great and clean, and the service was excellent. The breakfast was delicious, and it's halal too.

The single-bed room was less comfortable than the twin-bed room. Overall, I recommend it. The location is super. The beach is better than on the other side. Comfortable sun loungers. The food is delicious.

It was a nice stay! Highly recommended for muslim travelers, they do provide halal meals ❤️

The bungalows are located between Daya beach and Sita. The restaurant is beachfront, and bungalows F1 and F2 are also beachfront but set back slightly. We stayed in F1, which offered a direct view of the beach, though Charena's sunbeds were between the bungalow and the sand. We were only at the hotel in the mornings and evenings, so we didn't see many people there. If having your bungalow directly on the frontline is crucial, this might not be the best option. Bungalow F2 has a direct view of a fence and a partial view of the beach, while F1 has a direct beach view. There's also a neighboring concrete, white bungalow with panoramic glass, but I'm unsure if it belongs to this hotel. Pros: Free transfer to and from the pier on arrival and departure days, excellent location at the quieter end of the beach yet within walking distance of the 'Walking Street' in the center (we often walked there multiple times a day as all the shops are there). The breakfasts were good: egg dishes were cooked to order however you liked – just tell them what you want, and they'll bring it to your table or you can pick it up. Everything else was self-serve: muffins or waffles/pancakes, chicken rice soup, rice, chicken in various curry sauces (always different but equally spicy), chicken pasta (in different styles) or non-spicy noodles. Fruits like watermelon, melon, pineapple, and papaya were rotated. Every morning, two bottles of water were delivered to our veranda. For room cleaning, you needed to request it that day. They changed towels, made the bed, and swept or mopped the floor (I didn't see). At the bungalow entrance, there was a hose with a showerhead to rinse sand off your feet, and a broom to sweep sand away yourself, preventing it from spreading inside the room. We swam once at the very end of the beach by the rocks, where there were fewer boats. In the morning, the tide was in, and it was deep enough; in the afternoon, it was low tide and very shallow (this applied to all beaches). We booked an extra bed with breakfast for our child and paid an additional 500 Baht per day on arrival. However, the 'extra bed' was just a mattress placed on the floor between our bed and the window. Our child ended up sleeping with us; the main bed was very large, and it was comfortable for three of us. As for creatures, we saw some centipede-like caterpillars a couple of times, mostly in the bathroom, but once one fell from the ceiling in the room. There was a constantly running mosquito repellent (fumigator) in the room, so there were no mosquitoes inside, only on the veranda. We bought coils from a pharmacy, which helped a lot. Our bungalow's air conditioning was on its last legs, only cooling effectively in the morning. However, overall, the bungalow wasn't excessively hot with it. The hotel was generally quiet and peaceful, except for one day when a group of Thais arrived – we think they were friends of the owner or staff. They were very noisy from breakfast onwards, waking us up at 3 AM with loud shouting right outside our bungalow. Overall, we really enjoyed everything and were very comfortable; we don't regret choosing this hotel. The administrator was lovely, coming out to see us off when we left for the pier, which was a very nice touch. * We really want to return; 8 days wasn't enough!))

Fantastic location, exellent servics,staffs are polite and helpful. They provide transfer service which is very convenience. The room is basic but sufficient, comfortable bed, but if you want a new towels, you may have to ask. Breakfast is also tasty. We had a good time in Chareena beachside. Thank you for transfer service, we are really appreciated it.

Simply top-notch, I was very satisfied. Good room, breakfast, and everything was clean and quiet. I would stay here again.

We stayed in bungalow #7, and everything was clean. The AC, fridge, wardrobe, and shower were all in good condition, and it was a great price. It's a first-line property, just a 2-minute walk to the beach. We really enjoyed the breakfasts; there was a surprisingly large selection of tasty food 😋. Of course, there are minor downsides, just like anywhere, but nothing significant enough to affect our mood or vacation.

I really liked the hotel. It's quite close to Walking Street. Comfortable sun loungers and friendly staff. A transfer was arranged, but if you don't have luggage, it's easier and faster to walk. The breakfasts were excellent!

The hotel is really nice, with a comfortable and spacious bed. The room is pretty and clean. The bathroom is decent. Beach access is right in front of the hotel. The staff is very friendly. Minor downsides: the air conditioning is noisy, and the breakfast isn't great.

A place I will definitely return to! Thanks to the staff for the warm welcome! Everything needed for a comfortable stay is here. There are mosquitoes, but only in the evening and only on the veranda. We didn't feel their presence anywhere else on the property. Highly recommend!!!

Good location. Good Room attendant. Room attendant is kindly and helpful. Wifi is not working. Breakfast is ok.

The accommodation offers excellent service, and all the staff are lovely. The breakfast was delicious. Everything was perfect! If I come back to Koh Lipe, I'll definitely stay here again.

The location is indescribable. Directly on the beach, the bungalows are in the sand (applies to A and B). Friendly staff, good breakfast. Very comfortable, large bed and air conditioning in the room. Basic facilities, but that was enough for us. What wasn't so good: we had cockroaches in the room, about 5-6 cm long! Luckily, they only showed up on our second-to-last day.

Cleanliness, friendliness, and peace and quiet. All in one!
