Fantastic”
The stay at "The Garden of Joy" was fantastic. Customer service and care from Valentino and his wife(sorry I have forgotten your name) was amazing. They were so friendly and helpful in everyway. The bungalows,set in peaceful and tranquil gardens were terrific, the serenity we both enjoyed. The beach was a rocky beach WHO CARES the swimming pool and spa over looking the ocean made up for that. I cannot tell you how highly I regard this place, service from the host's and staff AMAZING. This place was the highlight of Koh Chang. I had heard so much of the island, so we took the chance and went. The island was disappointing from the non performing waterfalls, to the 3metre wide sand beach strips on the touristy side of the island, surrounded with rubbish. Very poor. The monkeys on the side of the road however were entertaining, you could compare this sentence to the taxi service eagerly awaiting the next unsuspecting and naïve tourist at the main arrival port. "The Garden of Joy" was the saving grace of the island. Word of warning use the Centre Point Ferry port on the mainland as it lands you approximately 3 kms from the hotel, otherwise if you arrive at Koh Chang terminal it will cost you somewhat more, and be warned the taxis will tell you the fee is to the road NOT to the reception office at any of the hotels, that is an additional charge. Saw and heard them scam a group of Italian tourists.

Comfortable”
No complaints whatsoever,from the moment we arrived until our departure we was given first class treatment.Although the Hotel is isolated this was a bonus being away from the boom boom music in the rest of Ko Chang, the hotel is ideal for couple and families. The rooms are immaculately clean as are the lovely swimming pool, the Hotel grounds and dining area.We had a great time using the free use of the kayaks;the Italian owners of the hotel are unique, thank you for a most comfortable stay.

New chance for the resort”
(+): reasonably clean rooms, clean pool (which is very infrequent in Thailand), huge garden, quiet location, good variety at breakfast (with real western bakery items) (-): the noise of scooters passing by the garden bungalow, lack of curtain (all the staff was looking into my room every time), lack of cupboard and towelrack in the room, restaurant generally higher price category - given there is nothing nearby, you have no other choice to eat; some gardening work needs to be done to get the garden back to its glory, but I'm sure with the new owner these issues will be addressed.

A wonderful New Year break.”
From the initial greeting to our final farewell 4 days later we found only one irritation. Polite, efficient and friendly staff who spoke excellent English. A very welcoming owner and superb food from the inclusive breakfast to the extensive menu. Totally recommend their specialty Sea Bass and Mango salad. The resort is on the east side of the island and away from the more lively west cost although the west coast is easily accessible. Our minor irritation.... The boiled eggs could have done with another minutes cooking.

Quiet and Peaceful”
Very tranquil hotel on the quieter side of the island. At times we felt as if we were the only guests there. We weren't. The villas are spaced quite well which offers good privacy. They are basic and clean. The only noise to be heard day or night is the local wildlife. Good wifi in rooms and restaurant. The Thai chef cooked dinner for us a couple of nights. Very fresh,tasty and made to order. The feel of this property for me was more of a guest house, with only a handful of staff, the service is quite personal. If you are looking for a place to escape everything (including people) this is it. If you want to party, go to the other side. Note: taxi service at night to this side may be difficult to obtain, you will have to pay for their return journey.

A wonderful resort set in magnificent grounds and on the beachfront.”
From the moment we arrived, we were taken care of most splendidly. The resort itself is in the middle of large lush surroundings. There is a lovely swimming pool right on the beach complete with jacuzzi. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and the breakfast was unbeatable with a chnoice of just about anything we could wish for. The added bonus for us was that we could take our dog there and the locatio nof the bungalows right on the beach were perfect in that respect. Thoroughly recommended.

Clean and well maintained hotel far from white sand beaches”
Hotel is located on the east coast of island. Beach front -with some sharp stones. In general beach area is very short, narrow and small. Swimming pool is basic and to small for adults. It may be suitable more for children. White sand beach on the west coast of the island - about 15-20 min.drive along the coast. It is not a walking distance to the white sand beach. Only TAXI may be used if you are not willing to hire a car or motor bike. Bicycles are available on the reception, but be carefull - if you are not lucky, you can get bone fractures. In general hotel bicycles are not suitable for small mountains due to non-effective braking system.

Great place to exlpore the island”
The location is perfect when you want to explore both sides of the island. The beach on the resort itself has nice views but is not sandy. This is compensated more than enough: the place has kajaks which you can use for free so you can explore the coastline and kajak to nice small nearby beaches. The place is quite, so you get your rest but for the rest there is everything you need: car and motorbike renting, good restaurant, fantastic breakfast, jungle nearby, etc

East side of Island”
Beautiful grounds. Multi lingual staff. The food in evenings was tasteful and varied. It was not easy to get to other restaurants in the evening. A very nice pool. Bunny Rabbits, cats, dogs are in resident. Along with a big billy goat. Transportation WAs short in supply and they price gouging. #uber are you listening?

Last days of old management”
A nice, well-priced, bungalow option, in a quiet beautiful setting. The minimal staff that were employed seem to enjoy the guests amongst their daily routines. Food was excellent and moderately priced. If you want quiet, this is the place. If you want street food, bars, shopping, then you should go to West side of island.

Staying in a Garden”
Found this place last minute during our travel. The bungalows seemed like it was not ready for guests but the owners managed to accommodate us. The shower spray had only 3-4 holes working so it was difficult to shower. The beach is not so friendly to walk so that was a disappointment. However, they bake their own bread for breakfast and that was delicious.
