Chaweng Regent Beach Resort

Mike Brockie

My partner and I stayed here for 4 nights and we had an amazing experience! We arrived early before our room was ready and the kind reception staff supplied us with fresh cold cloths, water and melon and then looked after our bags while we explored the resort. Our room was clean and tidy and the staff did an amazing job cleaning and remaking our room each day. The breakfast had plenty of options, the fruit was fresh and chef on the egg station was friendly and gave good portion sizes. The grounds were kept so beautiful and the pools were clean. Overall we had such an amazing time and we were sad to be leaving. We will definitely be coming back to stay here.

Sadly though our stay was good, we had a few incidents where the hotel was tarnished. Most of the staff are from Napal so their Thai and English is not perfect. When I arrived I had forgotten my Credit Card, I thought it would not be an issue as I had already paid and the money had been taken. The hotel did not accept this and said their policy was to now credit back (this would take 45 Days) and I had to pay again? Therefore as I write this the holiday has cost double, the receipt they have not provided me a full refund, I’m now £50 out of pocket -Barclaycard will now have to look to retrieve. In addition my last day we were resting in our room and we have workers banging and bashing. I’m sorry beautiful place but we should not have to sustain this.

I have been everywhere on Koh Samui. I know a lot of hotels but if someone wants a hotel with a location close to the city then I highly recommend the cottages and rooms are very clean the staff is very nice and friendly.The beach is at my window for walking and sightseeing in the morning and evening very good food. I don't understand people who give less than five stars hello everyone💪🏻🌴😎🙏🏻.

Pros: - Great location: on the beach, quiet, but also in the heart of / walkable to many shops, restaurants, and the night market. - Beautiful hotel with traditional Thai architecture. The room has wooden floor with many well thought out details - Great 2 pools: one ocean front, one for nice lap swim - Most helpful and friendly staff ever. And They are very nice and polite. The cleaning lady of my room did a good job and is honest. My husband left money out in the open and she never touched it. - the breakfast buffet is served at the seaside restaurant. Great view. And the table / chairs are very comfortable. - I like their library and various seating areas. They are furnished well and very comfortable to hang out in. Cons: - as many have stated, the wooden pathway needs improvement. It’s uneven and I fear someone will trip walking on it. The roof needs some power wash and the building could use some touch-up paint. - the gym is on the smaller side to my taste. ( I’m a gym buff.) it’s not big enough for > 1-2 people to do weight training at the same time. - the breakfast buffet can improve a tad. Generally they have a decent selection of fruit, salad, eggs, potatoes etc. The Thai food selection can be improved though. Someday everything is spicy which I can’t eat. Someday the selection has no meat at all. I’d like to see better menu design ( spicy + non spicy dishes, meat + meatless dishes). Good coffee. But I would like the hotel to put up a sign at the coffee bar informing guests to only use new cup / mug to take the coffee. Some people (not familiar with buffet etiquettes) re-use their old coffee mugs to refill their second/third cup of coffee. It creates an unhygienic situation spreading germs when their old coffee cups touch the coffee container spigots. P.S. I was debating between 4 or 5 stars review rating for the hotel given the pros and cons above. But I went with 5 given the hotel’s price point: my standard room is about

Excellent location, easy walking distance to everything. Rooms were spotless and housekeeping was faultless. Hotel is traditional style, the wooden walkways add to the charm and weren’t a problem. Great breakfast, lots of choice. The staff are so friendly and helpful, they really looked after us.
