Panviman Koh Chang Resort
From 6,100 Baht/night
Panviman Resort is located in the centre of Klong Prao beach. This is one of the quietest areas of beach on thew west coast of Koh Chang,. Even in high season you will only see a couple of dozen people out of the beach within a few hundred metres of the resort. There are no pushy beach vendors, no rows of deckchairs on the sand. Just a couple of small beach massage places and couple of laid back backpacker bungalow huts nearby.
It’s a good spot to get away from it all. The negatives are that the design of the resort maybe a bit too over the top ‘mock temple’ for some. The quiet location means that it is a bit of a trek to get to the local shops. Figure on a 15 minute walk to the main road along an unlit dirt track. The hotel does have a free shuttle service but this doesn’t run all day, only at selected times. And finally, the room rates are amongst the highest on the island.
The new pool access rooms allow you to cool off right outside your room, but also don’t allow for much privacy with fellow guests swimming past directly in front of your terrace. So, no real need to pay the premium for these rooms.
If a mid-size, 50 room resort in a quiet spot is paramount then go for it, but if you want 4 star standards on a good beach there are other excellent options available for less. Good, but unquestionably pricey compared to similar resorts on the island.
Room Rates for 2010-11: From around 6,100 Baht High Season
