Chaba Cabana Beach Resort

Close to the beach. Very comfortable. Good atmosphere

Perfect. The views at breakfasts are just incredible and it is only a 10 minute walk along a beautiful beach to get to town. There are restaurants on the beach just 50 metres away that are fantastic too. I have read reviews on here that the staff are rude, this is not the case. They are not rude, but some of them can be quite shy. I guess people might construe this as being RUDE. (I know people in hospitality shouldn't be shy, however, it would be quite intimidating dealing with people from all over the world who speak different languages.) The rooms are ok. But you are in Thailand, your room is just for sleeping!! Further note, a VERY kid friendly hotel. Be prepared for screaming and lazy parents !!

Rooms smelled of cigarette smoke. Bed given for third adult in a room was ridiculous, a child couldn't even sleep there. Place was old and not looked after. Staff were not friendly or accommodating. We packed up after one night and found another hotel, lost our money but could not have stayed another night there. DO NOT GO TO THIS HOTEL.

Staff super friendly and helpful. Rooms are lovely and cleaned every day, really comfortable and relaxing! I would definately be back here and would recommended it to anyone!

The hotel is in a fantastic part of Chewang Beach which is clean and quiet.

We found the Chaba Cabana a pleasant stay. Hotel is located right on the beach and not far from the action in Chaweng. Whilst the rooms are a little dated they are clean and comfortable. Hotel Restaurant and pool area is very good and staff very helpful.

We were firstly disappointed at the lack of communication, I made an error at the time of booking however to rectify this took hours on the phone and had to call several offices to resolve, my error entirely and this had no prejudice on the overall experience but a note to others to be extremely careful at the time of booking. We paid circa $130 per night and was disappointed to find that it was less than $100 per night when we actually got to the hotel. It was clean however rooms are dated and the decor around doesn't look like it's been updated since the 80s Staff were friendly however simple things such as an iron / ironing board that we needed were not available! The hotel advertises Free Wi-Fi however the connection was extremely poor and the last night it dropped out completely. Breakfast was adequate an no complaints about the food. Staff were friendly and for the most part helpful. After travelling with friends that were staying at nearby resorts, we will return to Koh Samui again but won't be staying at this hotel.

Loved this hotel!!! Perfect for what we needed, away from the crazy main drag of Chaweng beach but not too far on a moped to go over there... we had dinner and the hotel restaurant on the last night and it was our best meal over our entire trip over 3 weeks in Thailand. The most amazing seafood platter all fresh with beautiful buttered rice. The staff were so helpful. The rooms were clean and beds comfy. Just a lovely resort and would definitely come back here!

The stay was the last week of November and supposedly low season, however other than 15 minutes of rain for the whole week the weather was great. Located right on the quieter end of Chaweng beach, only a 5-10 minute walk along the beach to all the bars & restaurants in shopping area. The staff were really friendly and accommodating especially the girls working breakfast at the restaurant, the cleaning staff and reception.

Pros: decent and big rooms, quiet getaway, private pool and beach, got shuttle bus but service is not enough, good breakfast Cons: a bit too far from downtown, a bit difficult for drivers to locate when returning from downtown, training on staff's hospitality is needed, more shuttle bus services is needed.
