Baan Haad Ngam Boutique Resort, Chaweng Beach
We booked a superior room. On first look it was excellent.Very good housekeeping and brekfast! But there were some problems: it always smells awfully from water channels, the conditioner works very loudly especially in the night. Very small hotel and there is no beach at all!

perfect!

Baan Haad Ngam Boutique Resort, Chaweng Beach
Three of us stayed 4 nights in early July in two adjacent beautiful rooms near the top of this small friendly resort, which sort of cascades down the slope to the beach . A very friendly welcome late at night on arrival, matched by friendly and helpful staff all through our stay. The lovely but small pool is right at the water s edge (but about 2 metres above the beach level). The beach in front of the hotel is covered by the sea at high tide (sand seems to have been washed away) and at low tide it is a fair walk out to the water; further along the beach towards Chaweng town, the beach is a little steeper and easier for swimming. Great breakfast in the restaurant overlooking the beach (easy to eat too much) and lunch there is good too. All the staff were friendly but 30 year old Oh was outstanding... he told us his story, taught us some Thai and was ever helpful with menus, pool gear, directions etc . We did not eat at the hotel restaurant at night (turns into a pricey Italian restaurant) but ate at various places nearby along the beach ( however you may need to deal with quite a few mosquitos if you eat right near the beach) .
Our rooms at the top of the hotel were beautifully designed and very clean (yes, a few geckos but they were welcome) . A huge TV but we did not turn it on. There was sometimes an unpleasant smell near some of the free standing villas close to the pool and beach, possibly stagnant water in the decorative ponds.
Two of us used the hotel s house massage (easy to book)... more expensive than the various places along the beach but more private and very good. We booked a small car through the hotel to drive around Koh Samui.. slightly more expensive than in Chaweng town but very convenient for booking and pickup/drop off and full insurance included.
Taxis to and from Chaweng town should be no more than 150 Baht, but the walk along the beach is a nice alternative. Internet expensive in the hotel, but cheap at a travel agency 30 metres away on the corner of the main road (very persistent suit seller next door).
Summary : a boutique hotel, quiet, very friendly, close to the airport (but no flight noise), no public areas other than the restaurant where guests can gather... if you want a larger hotel, more people and a noisier time there are plenty of other options. Yes we would like to come back.

I stayed at the hotel with a friend of mine in early feb. we were overall happy with the location and set up of the hotel, but were a little suprised by the make up of the guests. The hotel was situated on the north end of chewang beach. we liked this b/c it is more removed from the people peddling their goods and other beach traffic. We stayed in the middle tier room (which was described as much bigger than it really was) and i would say other than being closer to the pool was no better than the lowest level room. i would have downgraded for the $100/night difference. as for the pool, it was beautiful and looked right out over the water, but it got quite crowded in the morning (cleared out every afternoon) and there were a TON of children. we didn t expect so many families. it got quite loud at times and kids were running up and down the decks.
the food at the hotel was excellent, if you love good itallian, and there were many other good places to eat around it. the hotel also made taxi accomoations easy. they actually had someone on hand to take you anywhere. the people at the hotel were also very helpful and pleasing.
overall, i would recommend the hotel. no room will offer a view of the water (unless you are in the top room which i wouldn t recommend b/c it is right on the pool). regardless of the pool being busy, we never were not able to get a chair in the sun or the shade, whatever our preference.

The hotel was perfect for our needs. It was small and personal. the rooms were a great size and the restaurant was excellent. I highly recommend it.

Very friendly staff and atmosphere. Nice, relaxing, detailed landscaping. Room decoration and facilities are high standard and have taste. Hotel amneties high standard (note: no fitness facilities). A disadvantage would be the location, as hotel is situated at the northern tip of the Chaweng Beach, so transport to center should be by vehicles unless you are very athletic. Another minus would be that this hotel, even though located at the beach, does not have any sand beach, maybe the only beach resort in Chaweng without a sand beach.

No problems whatsoever. Thanks.

lovely hotel, with great attentive staff. Food is excellent, although you can get cheaper in Chaweng. Music while you eat could be improved! We had a villa and it was amazing, clean and well looked after, would go back!

Pleasenet staff / cramped hotel with large rooms in need of refurb. A/C nisy and inefficient. No beach a real disadvantage / food only average for breakfast. Recommend the Nora Beach Hotel 100m to the north brilliant and same cost. Better hotels for the price around the north.

very good and efficient

Great relaxing place - we have been to Samui three times and this was by far the nicest spot - Hotel & staff superb location - very quite - yet only a walk on the beach to get to the nightspots - ofr an inexpensive cab ride away. I hope to return same time next year -for a truly relaxing 12 days. They treated us like movie stars - and we felt great.

Best in the business - used for over ten years. Neve had an issue they could not help me with.
