Chaweng Buri Resort, Chaweng

Chaweng Buri Resort, Chaweng

Is conveniently located at the beach in the middle of Chaweng.

When one first steps onto the compound of this resort, you may think that you have wandered into an old southern Thai village. That’s because the Chaweng Buri Resort is set in a tropical paradise and made up of 117 chalets, which includes one beach side suite. But this resort is anything but old-fashioned - it offers a host of modern amenities including a free form swimming pool with Jacuzzi, a sauna, spa and massage services. Despite all this, the beach is still the main draw here and this one is not obstructed by a road and tends to be peaceful and quiet at all times.

Chaweng Buri hosts two restaurants and a beach/pool side bar;

-A poolside restaurant " The Place" which serves fresh seafood, continental and authentic Thai cuisine

-A beach-front dinner terrace "Rom-Mai" which serves light meals and the Barbecue terrace "Sai-Lom" which serves Seafood, Steaks & Salad.

-There's a Thai night show every Friday at "Harry 's Bar" (Beach/Pool Bar) - Tropical fruit shakes, cocktails, thirst quenching drinks, spirits and snacks.

There are over 220 sun deck beds with parasols and the hotel also offers baby sitting amongst other services.

Chaweng Buri has been in Chaweng for more than 15 years when I write this review and the location is perfect along Chaweng Beach. The Resort also receives very good reviews from previous visitors and I can recommend a stay in this medium priced resort.

Peace Resort, Bophud

Peace Resort, Bophud



Has been established back in 1977 by the Pupaiboon Family between Bophud and Maenam and has been growing strong ever since. Starting out as a typical simple hut on the beach place, just like for instance World Resort or Zazen Boutique Resort not too far away from Peace Resort, they have been upgrading gradually and nowadays Peace Resort counts as a nice upgrade resort with actually upscale beach villa's within walking distance of the rustique Fisherman's Village.

Friends of me stayed here and had a great time.

The tranquility on the premises and the lovely Bophud beach location with landscaped tropical gardens make for a unique stay during your vacation at Peace Resort.

The resort supports;
Superior Garden Villa, 55 units (1 bedroom ) 32 sq.m.
Deluxe Garden Villa, 31 units (1 bedroom) 42 sq.m.
Deluxe Wing , 20 units (1 bedroom) 37.5-48 sq.m.
Deluxe Veranda, 11 units (1 bedroom & living area) 49 sq.m
Beachfront Villa, 5 units (1 bedroom & living area) 49 sq.m.

Each bungalow is a mini-suite with your very own porch and furnished with modern conveniences such as air-conditioning, mini bar and bath amenities.

The resort is very child friendly with and supports a children outdoor playground and a children pool.

A medium ranged priced resort with some high end ranged beach villa's which welcome you with traditional Thai hospitality, with the added bonus of it being run by a Samui family.

Enjoy your stay.
