The Chill Koh Chang is one of the resorts to put on your shortlist if you just want to get away from it all and have a week or two of boutique luxury on the island.

The smallest room is 50sqm and all are fitted and furnished to a contemporary 5 star standard. White washed walls , white linens, dark woods and colour being provided by the occasional cushion is the order of the day. The well trained staff and calm, friendly ambiance exude professionalism.
I know someone who travels the world on business and rates the Sky Room as one of the best and also best value hotel rooms he has stayed in anywhere. This is 100sqm with living room, bedroom, jacuzzi and huge balcony with sea views. Ideal for a honeymoon or just a romantic getaway.
This isn’t really a resort for families though. It is more geared up to luxury seeking couples who want to spend their days idling by the pool, which stretches the entire length of the resort from reception to the beach.
Two negative aspects are the beach, which is nothing to write home about. It’s narrow and nowhere near as good as the southern end of Kai Bae. This issue is also shared by the adjacent Gajapuri Resort and AWA Resort.
The other is the price of food & drinks. The awesome breakfast buffet is included in the price. But if you fancy a snack or a drink by the pool, be prepared to pay a hefty premium A small beer or fruit juice costs well over 200 Baht including various taxes. Ridiculous. Fortunately, there are plenty of places to eat, drink and buy refills for your minibar on the roadside within two minutes walk.
Overall, a great place to stay. But if you’re looking at one of the ground floor pool access rooms, check the reviews as a few people have mentioned in reviews and also in emails to me about problems with dampness. Probably due to the lack of fresh air circulating and the tropical plants in the landscaped gardens. The beachfront villas and rooms on higher floors get a sea breeze and so don’t have this issue.
😀 - The staff were amazing - so attentive.

Lovely staff were the saving grace 😀 - Super lovely staff and really lovely grounds. The infinity pool was a lovely way to start the day overlooking the beach, and the restaurant in the morning overlooking the water was a stunning way to get the day started! 😞 - The rooms were super dated, like they hadn’t really been maintained much since the hotel was built. It didn’t really seem high quality to me and definitely felt older than it looked in the pictures. The same goes for the spa - the spa felt quite dated and for that price range I expected a much more luxurious spa treatment. At that quality you’re better off paying 300 baht across the street.

Great hotel, but room is not advisable for two children 😀 - The restaurant was first class. There is breakfast practically all day, which makes your stay very flexible. The pool is great, the environment is very green and jungle-like. The restaurant offers first class dinner options. The wellness area was wonderful. The beach was better than expected. There are stones in the sea, which is not the hotel's fault. However, you can reserve kayaks free of charge. 😞 - We had an unpleasant experience at the check-in that felt like a scam: We had booked a family room with a double bed for the adults and a sofa bed for two children (6 and 8 years old). However, it is not possible to fold out this sofa bed and let two children sleep on it (picture below). When we expressed our great surprise at this, we were asked to pay 2000 Baht for an extra bed - in a room that was expressly rented for two adults and two children! When we asked whether 2000 Baht was the price per night or for the entire stay, we were told that this was for the entire stay. We agreed - disappointed - because our children needed a normal (!) place to sleep and the hotel did not see any own responsibility. When checking out, however, we were asked to pay 2000 Baht per night (!), which clearly contradicted the information we received upon check-in - and mind, for a room that we had booked for two adults and two children! We then agreed on a one-off payment of 2000 Baht - but we still have the unpleasant feeling that we were not treated honestly and the hotel rented out a room for 2 adults and 2 children which was NOT made for two children, just to later charge you for an extra bed.
