The location of this hotel is very good if you want to be close to the main town but not right in it. A short stroll down the beautiful sandy beach leads to the main town or its just a cheap taxi bus ride away. The hotel itself was quiet until one set of rowdy guests decided to party late into the night. The reception staff tried to intervene but not too successflly. It was the one blot on our holiday. The Thai people are polite and friendly and there are many places to eat and drink a short distance away on the beach as well as in the hotel itself.

Really good value when booked online Good quiet location on north end of Chaweng beach with a great beachfront setting. Very clean and comfortable rooms. Would recommend, a good standard at a good price and the overall experience is impressive.

very good price and right at the beach (chaweng which is the nicest on koh samui) the only thing i didnt like is getting a phone call at 8:30am asking us at what time are we checking out, when checkout is at noon.

Is in the very best position on the whole of Chaweng beach (and possibly, Koh Samui!). The setting is idyllic and the beach fantastic. Parts of the hotel are starting to look a little tired and the restaurant and evening entertainment were poorly supported compared to our prevoius visit seven years earlier. Pre-arranged transport from airport to Hotel failed to arrive until telephoned.

Cabana is well located, close to the main drag in Ko Samui. The hotel is situated right on the beach. Unfortunately when the tide is in, there is no beach and those keen on getting a sun tan are confined to the pool area. The restaurant at the resort is very expensive and guests tend to dine out at more reasonably priced places further along the beach. Staff at the resort, especially at reception lack warmth and are not particularly well trained. Rooms are spacious, TV package is poor, TV reception is not good. Breakfast is good. Pool area is spacious and comfortable. Getting a dry beach towel is problematic.

Room was fantastic. We had a double bed room (not Villa). Very big and comfortable bed, plenty of space around the room and a very nice bathroom. The room had everything, safe, water kettle, drink glasses, wine glasses, tea cups, wine/bottle opener, and mini fridge. The bathroom had a huge shower and plenty of space of two peoples toiletries. The balcony had comfortable chairs and a clothing rack (to hang swimming clothes). The staff was very friendly. Also, breakfast (by our surprise) was complimentary. This was a bit confusing since there was a sign at the front desk stating breakfast was 700 THB. The breakfast was great, had hot dishes (eggs, potatoes, bacon, pancakes) as well as the continental dishes (cereal, yogurt, fruit, bread, pastries). The only con was the staff's English. I missplaced a pair of sunglasses and no one could understand or seem to assist. This is more of a frustration at the time and should not count against the hotel. Other things to note, hotel is located ~15-minute walk from Chaweng main strip or restaurants and stores. I personally liked that since that part of town gets loud and busy. There was a very good restaurant near the hotel, Magnolia Cafe. We ate there everyday. Everything on their menu was great! I highly recommend staying here.
