I liked the hotel according to the photo and description of friends who rested in it last fall. My husband and I decided to wait for good prices for it. We constantly monitored and checked offers from tour operators. We received an offer from TPG that it would be foolish to refuse.

I liked the hotel according to the photo and description of friends who rested in it last fall. My husband and I decided to wait for good prices for it. We constantly monitored and checked offers from tour operators. We received an offer from TPG that it would be foolish to refuse. In addition, in the office, the girls themselves praised the hotel from their own experience, telling us what's what. Remarkably transferring the flight, we quickly and comfortably got to the hotel. We were accompanied by a separate guide Alex, a very attentive and reliable person. At the reception, they immediately told us that the room was ready and helped us fill out the paperwork, and also asked us to make a deposit for the room. The hotel employs cheerful and simple people who treat each guest equally well and, if necessary, will give you time or help. The room fully corresponds to the descriptions, bright, spacious, well furnished. Room service is excellent, quality cleaning every day, bring water, towels, replenish coffee, change bed linen. Very good internet in the room, you can safely call your family and even watch movies. Large bed, air conditioning, mini-bar, safe, kettle, TV. The bathroom is very conveniently designed, there are very high quality cosmetics, you can take a bathrobe and slippers. The territory of the hotel is not just big, but huge. There are two fairly large swimming pools, one of which has a children's area. For children, there is also a playground with a sandbox and swings, not far from the beach. In the hotel you can go in for sports, since an excellent and modern gym is equipped for this. The spa has a massage room, we went for a honey massage - well, just a buzz, be sure to try it ! ! The hotel has a great location, there are many cafes nearby, you can eat new cheap and tasty every day)) Although, there are no noisy and party places nearby, everything is quiet, peaceful and calm. The beach is just very cool, clean, it is clear that they are taking care of. A large number of sun loungers, white beach towels can be taken by the pool. On the beach there is furniture for relaxation, it is especially well located in the shade of palm trees. The vodka was unreal! ! Transparent and warm, not a single rain! The entrance to the water is amazing. many bathed with children. The hotel has delicious, albeit monotonous, breakfasts. You can eat very satisfyingly that you don’t want to eat before dinner. Soups, sausages, cheeses, cold cuts, side dishes, fresh or stewed vegetables, herbs, vegetables, eggs, breakfast cereals, yogurt, fruits, sweets, toasts, jams. And of course - tea-coffee-juices. Perfect for a 4* I think. The hotel is just a fairy tale, we stayed here for 5 nights and spent 2 more in Bangkok, where we managed to visit many attractions, thanks to a sightseeing tour by a professional guide. Everything is great, thank you for a great stay!

The hotel is located on the first line, Klong Prao beach. Quite a large and very green area, literally everything is buried in greenery. Two types of accommodation: bungalows and two-story buildings. Bungalows are scattered throughout the area. The buildings are away from the beach. Two swimming pools, one with a slide for children in the depths, the second with a sea view.

Bungalows are scattered throughout the area. The buildings are away from the beach. Two swimming pools, one with a slide for children in the depths, the second with a sea view. One restaurant by the sea.
The Delux and Superior rooms slightly differ in area in favor of the Delux. Balcony with chairs, clothes dryer. A lot of wood, sometimes creaky parquet and a bed. Shower with bathtub and another "eco-shower" separately with a closed roof. Air conditioning and ceiling fan.
The room has a safe, hairdryer, kettle, TV, refrigerator, coffee, tea. Two bottles of water daily for free. There were no slippers, bathrobes, toothpaste and brushes.
The entrance to the sea at the hotel is terrible, the stones are shallow. But if you go 400 meters to the right, the entry into the sea is very good, without stones. There are high/low tides.
Friendly and helpful staff.

We chose the hotel on the advice of a travel agency and did not regret it! The main thing is that the Centara network provides a great vacation and transfer through Bangkok (to relax after a long flight to Centara Watergate, visit Wat Pho, take a walk around the city in the evening, and then see the oceanarium, shopping) to Chang, and here such a hotel is a little paradise! All positive reviews were 100% confirmed, all the service, all the staff, starting with Anna at the reception, food, room service (air conditioning dripped, two guys repaired it in five minutes, and without any tips) animation on the beach, live music in the evening in the restaurant , magnificent territory, cleanliness and order - beyond praise! We lived in a group of 2-story buildings around the pool (leave the room on the 1st floor through the veranda directly onto the lawn, dive into the pool, drink coffee before breakfast - this is the wife’s mode : ), and then after dinner escape from the heat under a canopy with a tablet and a good wi fi, alternating jacuzzi with cold beer - this is my regime : ) - that's a dream come true! ).

The location of the hotel is just great, a quiet sparsely populated beach, we walked daily along the neighboring hotels, and 10 minutes to the main road with catering, massage, elephants and trade. Excursions are worth taking on the road, and one Koh Wai is enough (there are few fish, so we didn’t drag our masks in vain, they are given out on a boat), but only on a speedboat, to a waterfall, an elephant farm, to White Sand it is better to take a tuk-tuk by yourself, in the evening after the heat, wandering along this street is the biggest entertainment, especially pancakes near 7-11! In general, Koh Chang and Sentara are beyond competition!

I liked the hotel in general, the territory, the rooms, the food. My husband had a birthday, they brought a small cake to the room (not so hot, of course, but nice) and candles (6 pcs. ). So cute! I didn’t like only the beach, pebbles, corals and a lot of jellyfish entering the sea, it was not possible to swim, we all know that jellyfish sting.

Also on the beach there is some kind of flying creature or ants, I don’t know, but my female skin was all in bites and itched terribly. I asked the guide, she confirmed and showed her hands) And the jellyfish are in season! We're out of luck

This was my first trip to Thailand. I chose the hotel for a long time, I liked the reviews about it. Everything was more than confirmed. On arrival at the hotel I was given a drink and refreshing towels twice. The room was better, they even offered to choose. Instead of Deluxe they gave me Cabana. The room has a bathtub and an outside shower.

On arrival at the hotel I was given a drink and refreshing towels twice. The room was better, they even offered to choose. Instead of Deluxe they gave me Cabana. The room has a bathtub and an outside shower. I took a full board, I do not advise others - it is very difficult to eat, everything is very tasty and a lot. First of all, I was struck by the lack of a "battle" for sunbeds, towels, etc. , there are 1-2 people in the sea, the pools are also not crowded. At the reception at the hotel there is a Russian - Denis, he immediately showed me the infrastructure of the hotel, helped with organizing excursions and so on. The restaurant cooks for a long time, but it didn’t bother me at all, where to rush when the sea roars nearby. The beach is sandy, in the morning the low tide is over 100 meters. At high tide, the sea approaches almost completely to the hotel. The bottom is mostly sandy, but there are stones overgrown with shells, you need to be careful - you can cut your legs on them. The hotel is suitable for a relaxing and comfortable stay.

I decided to add a review, because I myself always read them before a trip, but I myself have never written before.
We liked the hotel. Settled immediately, quickly. Upon arrival, a wet towel and iced tea. The room was on the first floor, with a terrace, the lawn was run across and the pool immediately. They cleaned every day, bed linen every third day. The breakfasts are good - we don’t eat like that at home! If in order, then: var. eggs, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, sausages, delicious fried bacon, Thai rice, noodles, pasta, potatoes, stewed chicken or in breadcrumbs, meat, vegetables - cucumber, tomato, green lettuce leaves are different , corn, there were several times sushi, fruits - pineapple, watermelon, pomelo, bananas, very tasty papaya (I understood why they love it so much), various sauces. From drinks - water, milk, tea and coffee, juice (in my opinion, not freshly squeezed, but tasty). Naturally, there are two different types of pastries, croissants (warmed up), toasts. The waiters mark you on the list and immediately pour tea, coffee at will. When you need to pour it, raise your hand. fit right away.
A special delight, these are two pools - one on the beach, the other near the buildings. Pleasantly cool water, which is great in the heat! Evening illumination, very romantic place!
It was a small entertainment - to come from the beach and see what they created from towels, they did not repeat in 16 days!
There is very little entertainment either on the island or in the hotel. Think in advance how you will entertain yourself. We took e-books, movies, embroidery, pumped up solitaire games, story games, and crosswords for my husband.
In the evening we ate in cafes along the beach, in principle, the same everywhere. The difference is in small performances: a soloist with a guitar and lyrical songs, a fire show - boys with torches, two girls sang in our hotel.
The beach is decent, a little small, it takes a long time to enter, but it's because of the river, a little to the right, to the neighboring hotel, the depth is faster there. There are stones in the water, but you can see them, so they don't interfere.
We rented a moped at the hotel, no need to give a passport as a deposit. We went to the waterfall, we swam there. Ride on elephants, I didn’t really like it - it was rocking, but we did it for the sake of photographs. It’s very cool to feed them! After the trip, they give you a watermelon, chopped, cold - nice! We went to the observation deck, filmed the sunset (there are also beautiful sunsets on the beach). We took a kayak from the hotel, swam to the nearest island. We took a walk to two islands from the hotel. Nothing extraordinary, but as a variety you can. They take one - they swim with a mask, they watch fish (there are not many, but there are). They give fruit, water, lemonade and they take them to a small island, where we went canoeing, there are swings made of ropes and you can climb rocks, with on the opposite side - crabs. In principle, nothing, but it fills a lot with a wave of garbage - it’s not pleasant. Since people are being transported, they could clean up. The captain himself does not speak Russian and catches squids in the parking lots. There is another proposal for 5 islands, maybe more fun.
They say there is a disco somewhere - we did not go. You can also shoot at the range. There is no more entertainment.
On the beach you can play tennis, darts, paint a handkerchief or a figurine for 150 baht. Probably, there is a volleyball ball, but no one played with us, so I didn’t remember.
Massage is available on the beach and by the pool, and in the SPA Center. They did it on the beach not at our hotel, it’s cheaper there, but it’s better to take your own towel or sheet with you, otherwise, as it turned out, there is one for everyone!
Table tennis near the pool (we played there in the evening).
Very beautiful area. There are fish in the river that is around the bungalow, of course, everyone was fed. There are fish in the pond and near the SPA Center.
In general, they were satisfied, because. and I wanted to relax in the form of "lazy cats" !! !

Great hotel! My husband and I went on our honeymoon to Thailand. First there were 6 nights in Pattaya, and then on Koh Chang. This hotel is very impressive service. Wet towels and a cold drink were provided upon arrival. The travel agency marked us as newlyweds when booking the room. We were booked a Superior, but at the reception, without any requests and additional payments, they raised the level to a bungalow, which was a pleasant surprise.

Then there were more, we went into the room and were stunned - we were laid out on the bed with flowers and Happy Honey Moon sticks. The next day, a cake with the same name awaited us in the room. Very pleasant and attentive service. The rooms are perfectly clean, towels are changed every day, beds are decorated with flowers. Very good restaurant on site and the staff speaks English very well. I liked everything, huge territory, 2 pools, beach, restaurant, food, service! I want to come back here! ! We highly recommend!! !

We rested at the KOH CHANG TROPICANA RESORT & SPA 4 * 30.04-11.05. 2011. Came to Thailand for the first time. I was with a friend and three children 2.7 and 8 years old. Rest was a success for all 5+! What can I say about the hotel - excellent! Upon arrival, we were offered drinks and refreshing wet towels. Settled in quickly. The territory of the hotel is well-groomed, with numerous bridges, lakes, fountains. Everything is literally immersed in lush greenery. The air was fragrant with some wonderful aroma (later I found out that these are frangipani flowers smell so delicious). They put us in a deluxe bungalow (No. 219 and 220), although they paid for a cheaper "superior".
The room is large and spacious. Huge bed, sofa bed, armchair with footstool, coffee and writing table, TV, DVD, refrigerator. There is a bath and a shower (separate from the toilet). Cleaning and change of bed and towels was daily. Every time, returning from the beach, we found towel figurines decorated with flowers on the bed (regardless of whether you leave a tip or not)
There are 2 swimming pools on the territory - a smaller one near the beach and a large one near the SPA. SPA is a completely separate issue. Be sure to visit it. I have no words to describe all the emotions! ! Wonderful procedures, after which you feel reborn. I was on an aroma massage, did a body scrub, aloe wrap (good after a long stay in the sun), foot massage, pedicure. Service at the highest level! For the first time it is better to go together, because. 50% discount on the entire price! Prices including discounts - aroma massage 750, pedicure - 350, scrub + body wrap - 1100.
Nutrition. Breakfast - buffet. The menu is varied. Both vegetarian and meat; and Thai, and European, and Japanese. Loved the salad dressings. The menu is updated daily by 30%. Those. every day - croutons, toast, butter, omelettes, pancakes, ham, bacon, sausages, cheese, jams, drinks, vegetables / fruits, etc. , etc. , and hot dishes changed EVERY day. Since we had a small child with us (it was inconvenient to go somewhere every day), we also had lunch and dinner at the hotel restaurant (once we visited the Russian restaurant Yo-MOYO....and were far from delighted. Expensive, tasteless... ). So, about the hotel restaurant. The price tag, of course, is a little higher than just in a cafe. But close by. Prepare European, Japanese, Italian and Thai dishes. I really liked the shrimp in tamarind sauce - yummy (shrimp-160bat, rice - 20, a glass of juice -90, bottled water-40, tea - 50, hot noodles with broth - 180, pasta - 180, pizza - 160, meat steak 350 -700.2 chicken sandwiches - 160, alcoholic cocktails from 170. Some dishes were huge portions for two, some for one).
Beach. The hotel has its own beach, there are no outsiders, if only vacationers from neighboring hotels (which were also very few). But you can just as well walk along the shore to their territory. Low tides are strong in the morning. Tide in the evening. Entrance to the sea in corals. For me personally, this is not a problem. I don't consider this a disadvantage. Moreover, all the beaches of Koh Chang "suffer" from this. The sea and the beach are clean. True, there is no azure blue water. For this, you need to go on a tour of 5 islands (which I did and recommend to everyone). Plenty of sun loungers, they weren't booked in advance. Beach towels by the pool. There are 2 hammocks and a swing by the water. In the morning, merchants of jewelry and souvenirs walk along the beach. Smiling and unobtrusive. Reduce the price immediately by half, then agree.
About vacationers. There were very few people. Basically, these are Thais and Germans themselves, there are practically no Russians (which is what I wanted).
Hotel staff. Attentive and polite. English is spoken at the reception and in the restaurant. Just say everything clearly and slowly (better than 2 times)))
Infrastructure around the hotel. From the hotel there are 2 roads to the main. If you go to the right, then go out to the elephant farm (the cost of 1 hour excursion = 500 baht) and to the shops. On the left, the road will lead to cafes, shops, where there is everything you need, incl. 7/11, all kinds of shops, bike rentals, a bank. But the main shopping is best done on White Sand beach. To get to which by tuk-tuk 50 baht per person. To the fishing village of Bang Bao take 100. If you order a taxi at the hotel, it will cost 450 baht per car.
I also wanted to note that when we arrived at the hotel, they apologized to us and, due to some reasons, they offered to live in the neighboring Barali Resort & Spa 4 * hotel for the first 2 days. They took it there. As a token of apology - a free dinner or spa visit. This hotel is excellent too. I don't even know which one is better. Both liked it.
My conclusion is that the hotel is suitable for those who want a romantic, calm, comfortable, relaxing holiday. Probably not suitable for lovers of noisy parties.

The restaurant is located on the seashore. trample on in the morning. The water in the pools is clean, there are two types of jacuzzis, a children's pool. There are no slides. For young people, of course, it's boring. There is not much entertainment. Peaceful quiet rest. You can dine at the hotel or in the village nearby. The price is not much different. There is also a supermarket there. It is better to buy alcohol in it. In cafes 2 times more expensive.
The only thing I didn't like about the island was the sea. Pay attention to this moment. We were personally very upset by this. The sea is shallow. To go waist-deep 200-300 meters, you have to wander through the shallows, stepping on all sorts of stones and corals. By the time you get there, you don't feel like swimming. Due to the shallow water in the sea is very hot, even disgusting to swim. It's hot outside, I want to cool down, but it wasn't there. And don't believe the photos of the blue lagoons. You definitely won't see it there. The sea is muddy, there is no life except for crabs. The truth is only in the palm trees on the shore. In general, we swam mostly in the besein. The only pity is that we traveled so far because of the besein with bleach.
The only thing I didn't like about the island was the sea. Pay attention to this moment. We were personally very upset by this. The sea is shallow. To go waist-deep 200-300 meters, you have to wander through the shallows, stepping on all sorts of stones and corals. By the time you get there, you don't feel like swimming. Due to the shallow water in the sea is very hot, even disgusting to swim. It's hot outside, I want to cool down, but it wasn't there. And don't believe the photos of the blue lagoons.
