Koh Chang Paradise Hill is a modern, minimalist 3 star hotel, situated on the inland side of the main road, opposite the entrance to its sister resort ‘Koh Chang Paradise Resort& Spa’. Guests have access to facilities at both resorts.
There are 96 rooms at Koh Chang Paradie Hill Resort but thankfully only two choices of room types. Deluxe Pool View or Deluxe Garden View. Both are available with either a Double bed or two Single beds. The pool view rooms are priced slightly higher. As far as everything else goes they are identical.
The rooms are built in four, three floor low rise hotel blocks. These are stark and rather boring concrete blocks. There’s no attempt to blend in with the natural surroundings.
Inside the rooms decor is minimal. with bare concrete floors and just the essentials for furniture. It’s a bit drab, but thankfully there are colourful cushions and a bright bed runner to liven it up a bit. The bathrooms are also a bit drab. They’re modern and clean but nothing you will want to post on Instagram.
As most guests tend to head to the beach, the pool area is often quiet. There are two pools, one which is ideal for swimming laps and another which is shallow and therefore a great place for young kids to splash around and cool off. Adjacent is a pool bar which serves a range of soft drinks, cocktails and beers.
Koh Chang Paradise Hill is a good resort, no doubt about that, but to me it just seems a bit boring design-wise. But it’s a safe choice for visitors. There won’t be any unexpected surprises. It’s new, clean and comfortable. The location is good – just one minute walk to the beach. Everything you need is within 5 minutes walk – pharmacy, bank, supermarket and good choice of small shops and restaurants.
Definitely recommended if you’re just confused by choice. The basics are all done well, but there’s not a standout feature.
Alternatively, for example if you prefer smaller hotels, then the nearby Bhu Tarn Resort is worth checking out. Or if you want a smaller resort of the same standard but in a busier area then The Erawan on White Sand beach is a popular choice which also gets great reviews.
