kunash Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Hi there. i am looking for a 5 star hotel in the Chaweng beach area. i know this area is quite long, but am looking for a hotel which is close to all the bars and restaurants. ( a bit like the hilton in hua hin ). i have never been to samui before, so am looking for your help. I did book the x2 hotel in rayong earlier this year, but on arrival found out the hotel was about 15 miles from rayong town. so was a little disappointed. dont want to make the same mistake. so i am looking for a recommendation of a 5* hotel, close to all the action, in chaweng beach. please. thank you Edited July 21, 2010 by kunash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brd Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 many places all around the green mango soi area on the Chaweng mid beach pick one for 2 nights and if not happy you will have plenty of choice to find an other one as occupancy is very very low right now in Samui. No problems at all. In real terms you do need a roof under which to sleep........ and security included.....Ark Bar is fun with Accomodations etc...etc......but be careful if and when going to Koh Phang Ghan it is very wild over there and be aware in Koh Samui danger exists.

smokie36 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 5* places on Chaweng beach roll in at around 15k Baht a night......try the Chaweng Buri for around 3k Baht....as said alreeady you just need somewhere decent to sleep and this place is good value for money. Not 5* but 5 mins walk from Green Mango and bang on the middle of the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdman Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 If you stick with 5* the next to the action on Chaweng would be the Briza, the Centara Grand and Poppies. Closer and 4*(+) Chaweng Regent and Amari. More 3*(+) in the center like the Baan Samui, Chaweng Buri and of course many smaller ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrChopper Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Best 5* star - The Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdman Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 yes, I forgot, the Library is a small, decent luxury resort right in the middle of Chaweng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koheesti Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Library is nice but there isn't much to do there. I like Centara - you can belly up to the bar without getting out of the pool and they have a gym where you can work out and look out at the sea.

limbos Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 The Ark Bar is anything but a 5* as suggested earlier in this thread. Centara Grand beach, Library possibly Amari. My choice would be Centara. Not guest friendly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everydaysthesame Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 not sure if any of those mentioned are genuine 5 stars. be careful if you want actual 5 star facilities. if by 5 star you just mean 'really nice upmarket hotel' then poppies is fantastic.

The only other place in Chaweng which really qualifies is Centara all the rest of the well fronted pretenders are overpriced imo. But decent hotels are available for much less.
