Chaweng Regent Beach Resort  

This hotel is in a good location at the north end of the main street of samui. However you do not hear or feel like you are in the busy tourist strip of samui once you enter the resort. It is quiet and not directly under the flight path like ark bar. The gym is good and have free group classes throughout the day but when you go it is usually just you and the personal trainer!. Free scuba diving classes in the hotel pool. Breakfast was good. Beach is nice in front of the hotel but there are no waves as there are down south. Cooking school at the south end of chaweng is a must. Also go to the thai markets behind the boxing staduim and day trip to the national park island. Fish banquette at 3 hotels north of regent(one with the amazing architecture).

However there was no information given about good restaurants, spas, things to do in samui. They just referred you to a tourist desk where they tried to sell you day trips at a much higher price then if you go 100 m outside the resort to a tourist info shop. No personal opinions were given.

The design of the room was great. It was our honeymoon so they upgrade our room for free and put flowers on our bed. They also send as cake with candles for free.

Great location on the beach, convenient to explore the town, go shopping,restaurants etc.The resort had a lovely ambiance to it. The staf was attentive and helpful

We've booked a Premier room- we expected more luxury. The towels were old and frail. For 2 mornings we had no hot water and just after some complaint it was fixed.

On one side of the hotel is shopping paradise (for my wife) and on the other side of the hotel is beautiful beach (for me).

The breakfast was good but could be better considering the room cost. A better variety needs to be offered so that if some one stays for a week, it is not just the repeat of the menu

Good location very central

Overpriced

Location was excellent, close to all Cheweng shops and restaraunts and right on the beach. Beautiful property. Staff very friendly and helpful. I would definetly stay again.

Room size was a bit small

The spa packages

The bathroom

Excellent Location! Lovely rooms! Lovely staff... And the beach is just right there!

Beautiful peasceful location wtih friendly staff. Hotels facilities where good. We stayed in a Royal villa which was excellant. ~Although inside the hotel grounds it is very peaceful you are 2 mins walk from the bars, restaurants on the main strip.

The position : near to best part of Chaweng beach and near to night life. Elegance of the resort.

I went there also in 2006 and I think it will need a little bit of renovation

I love it because the hotel was on the beach and in the town but in the same time inside of the rine forest

The rooms have need of maintenance

The location was very good and convenient. It is set right on the beach and in the middle of chaweng street, which is like the happening part of the island. Not ideal if you are looking for quiet location but excellent if u want to be near the shops, restaurants and pubs. The hotel was very clean and all needs were taken care of. Food is really good in both their restaurants. The staff are polite and courteous.

Although our total stay at the hotel was good, the first and the last day soured things a little bit. First of all, our room was not ready at the check in time and had to wait till 4pm, which was very annoying as we were really tired after all the travelling. Secondly, they were extremely stingy when it came to offering free transportation to and from airport to their customers when they have spent like 75,000 odd Thai Baht at their hotel. Be careful what u read on website. Offers don't apply if u book through agents, which is what happened to us but was not mentioned anywhere on the their site.
