"Overall: incredible hotel in a beautiful peaceful location. The staff made it! (Absolute credit to Ocha in Saffron for her impeccable professionalism and personal attention. Also Diamond, Poom in the pool bar and Fa at breakfast. Thank you!) Excellent drinks menu and happy hour 1600-2000 between different locations. Delicious food. Rooms 10/10. Not a complaint, but FYI: a bit off the beaten track - not much on the doorstep and very little in the way of provided entertainment (which we'd expect in a secluded resort) - so prepare to pay approx 400 baht each way for the 20 min journey to eg Fisherman's Village."

"We stayed here in Sept for 6 nights in Garden view double room. Couldn't fault our visit the room was clean, the bed was so comfortable, everything worked, the balcony was a bonus for us. The breakfast was amazing with plenty of choice. We really liked the location, right on the beach which is wonderful but close to the main street in Chaweng. The noise from a nearby late night venue was a worry when we booked but we could hardly hear anything. Lastly all the staff around the resort were perfect, very polite and friendly. Would definitley recommend Chaweng Gardens it is 10/10 from us."

"A beautiful hotel on Samui island. The staff are incredible, the hotel beautifully maintained and so large you feel like you’re truly away from it all. Don’t miss out on visiting the spa (try the coconut flow), or taking one of the complimentary gym classes (Muay Thai training with Mik and Sean was absolutely fantastic!) Last but not least, the food and restaurants. Aum took brilliant care of us at Breakfast, Jakky supplied endless fresh coconuts at the pool bar, One Rai was unbelievably good (special thanks to Raj & chef Armaan who explained so much about the flavours and dishes) and also Pak Thai for traditional Thai food (Beauty was incredible with her food recommendations and education on local dishes!). Also don’t miss the Fire show on the beach after dinner! We can’t wait to come back!"
