Chivapuri Beach Resort

沙灘很臟，退潮的時候海灘上超級多垃圾，海里很多礁石，不適合游泳，酒店基本沒什麼服務，早餐也沒什麼選擇。 和朋友在booking上定的同樣的Junior suite，但我們在攜程訂的同款房型被降級成了小了一半的大床房，酒店海美其名曰給的小房間是海景房，我們在攜程付的價格已經賺到了。最後攜程協商沒成功，但是給了一百塊補償優惠券。 總之極其不推薦這個酒店

不錯的地方

Best position on beautiful beach, lots of sunbeds dotted around among the trees, enabling you to have your own space. Lovely, welcoming and friendly staff. Good food including the breakfast. We were absolutely blown away by our spacious beachfront villa, and our view of the sea in the mornings when waking up! The room was a more expensive option but we felt it was well worth it! We appreciated the lush well maintained gardens, the staff were constantly tending them and sweeping both them and the beach, keeping the area spotless! The property also has a lovely, good sized pool. We also enjoyed good massages at a very reasonable price. There are many beach restaurants nearby, which allowed us many different options both for lunch and dinner. There are also some nice eating options on the road at the end of the beach. The area in the evening is generally pretty quiet, which suited us but if you want late night life this beach area may not be for you. You can get a taxi or songthaew nearby during the day quite easily, we went to Bang Bao pier, and had a delicious seafood meal there one evening. Our only slight negatives were the thin sunbed mattresses, not good for those with achey backs, however seem to be the norm on Koh Chang, and accessibility getting in and out of the pool could be improved, which would help older guests or guests with mobility issues. Despite these slight negatives overall we would say this is one of the best beach hotels we have stayed in anywhere.

First let me say that these are our opinions and each person has something that is important to them and not to others. This was our experience. We flew into Bangkok airport as we had an event to attend in Pattaya than went back to Bangkok before heading to the resort. It was less expensive for us to hire a private driver to take us to the resort on Koh Chang than it was to fly. We found out that there was a air strip on Koh Chang but they can charge whatever they want as there is only one airline that goes there. So we opted to drive, a 6 hour journey, which included a ferry ride over to the island and taken directly to the resort. Our thought was we could sleep and see the landscape on the way. It really wasn't bad there and back. So thankful that we didn't have to deal with a taxi once we were on the island. In the beginning when getting onto the island we were on a normal road, but that change to a very narrow, winding and steep road which turned into a one lane road, then to a gravel road and finally a dusty bumpy road. So don't worry, you are headed in the right direction. I have to say when we first drove up to the resort, I was a little hesitant. This is a small resort. The reception area is wide open (no walls) area with wooden benches with a few throw pillows here and there. The one reception person was kind and friendly, but the other not so much. I would say this was the only unfriendly person we met the entire time at the resort and she was only there for a few days and then was gone. We arrive around noon and were told check in wasn't until 3, I believe, but we did get into our room earlier then they said which was nice after a 6 hour drive. The room was old and tired but spacious. There are maybe a dozen little buildings that had one room up and one room down. I heard there were a few rooms that had two bedrooms for families. We were in a back building on the top floor. The windows on the back of the room lookout onto the area they lay all their debris. Wasn't a nice thing to look at that is for sure. We just kept the blinds closed. When you walked up the steps there as a balcony area with a sliding glass door, but also had a normal door to enter as well. The balcony area had a bench seat along the one area to sit and one chair was provided along with a laundry rack. Some of the wood on the balcony needs replaced as it looked like it was rotten. We also asked for another chair to sit on and was told it was being repaired. Some of the other buildings had chairs and loungers along with big pillows for their bench (these were all the buildings in the front). It would have been nice to have another chair so we could have sat outside like others. Inside the building, there as a king size bed, desk area (which also had a large mirror with a hair dryer (in the desk drawer) as this is where you had to dry your hair as there was no plug in the bathroom, a kettle that made hot water, a wardrobe cabinet, a single bed type thing, I guess

We loved this sleepy vibe; the beach is perfect for swimming with lots of natural shade and has alternative restaurants within 5-10m walk for drinks or dinner. The hotel has a lovely pool, with a child section and fountains and the decking is well maintained. There are foot and body showers. We ate a dinner of fish on the bbq which was delicious and cooked perfectly. The fire show added interest. Staff are welcoming and helpful; translation can be difficult at times but they are dealing with many languages. There is a well stocked book swop,jenga game and noughts and crosses available. The wooden swings are popular with adults and children. The wooden sun beds are comfortable but some backs need repair or replacement. Swim towels are thick and plentiful. The gardens are well maintained with some lovely grafted orchids and swinging lanterns. The hotel organised our transfer from Kai Bae for 700 TBH. The last section is unmetalled but has very few potholes and we have travelled far worse across the world. The hotel is well placed for visits to Bang Bao fishing village and The Ghost Ship. The speedboats pick you up off the beach for trips to the local islands or the national park via the pier. The hotel also organises private boats. There are a few sellers of sarongs and bracelets but it is predominantly quiet and peaceful. We stayed in the superior double; perfect! The shower had good pressure and hot water, the hanging rack was useful for drying clothes and the bed and pillows were the most comfortable we have had on this 3 month trip. Cleaning was great and the towel animals showed pride and care. The foot tap was useful on the patio. The air conditioning was quiet and effective. The massages were great; a good strength and at 300 THB for a standard massage were competitively priced. The breakfast eggs were well cooked; there were yoghurt jars, muesli and fruits and salad, and a range of bread. Expectations matched price. There were some Thai options too. A water cooler and glasses are available in the lobby; bottles in the room are glass and can be refilled. The lobby played quiet relaxing music; this resort attracts authentic and respectful sun seekers who want peace. Beach bags are provided, slippers, flip flops etc. There were some SUPs and kayaks available. Pug in mosquito burner was provided in the room. There is very little evidence of litter and jetsam on this island. We will definitely return here. Thank you for our early check in. Even better if: 1. WiFi was stronger and more consistent 2. Face towel and welcome drink needed given the distance some guests will have travelled 3. Conditioner was provided for hair 4. The safe key is attached to the door key which controls the lighting etc so undoing the safe makes it more difficult in the dark. 5. The coffee pots are hotter; guests boiled the kettle to resolve this
