Sometimes you take the wrong turn, looking for a shortcut you never find, and you arrive at the Mangrove hideaway... and that would be a very lucky day indeed. This is Koh Chang like it probably was 50 years ago before the backpackers and Russian invasion... an old Thai village house... well with tasteful decoration and a touch of modern... More

We spent 3 days in Mangrove Hideway Resort and it is one of the best experience we had in Thailand. We are a couple of expats living in Bangkok so we went to many places and Boutique Hotels in Thailand but this one is probably one of the best spot we experienced! Jean-Luc and Olivier are really welcoming and would... More

We first discovered the place: an old village house fully refurbished and decorated with great taste. A mix of tradition and modern confort. We then discovered the environment: a fisherman's village full of "real" Thai life disconnected from the tourist industry. The hotel is walking distance from the temple, the board walk on the mangrove, the water fall in the... More

We called the Mangrove Hideaway our “home away from home” for nearly a week. I can’t say enough positive things about our experience here and my review cannot capture all of the attention and details that the whole team put into our honeymoon stay. Everything was just perfect. The welcome we received from Olivier and the staff was very warm,... More

When we arrived at this beautiful peace of land I coulnd't believe it. Having just left a ferry filled with crowds of tourists, we reached this silent georgeous haven twenty minutes later. The Mangrove is a chraming estate with many thoughtful details, a beautifull pier, a great attic relax zones with hammocks, a massage area and all the comfort you... More

Unfortunately our stay was SO good at the Mangrove Hideaway, the benchmark was set so high we had to change our booked accomodation twice in Thailand after leaving! The rooms and common areas are all tasefully decorated and the little things like toiletries, towels and bedding are all way above the standard in Asia, and make such a difference at... More

It was so unfortunate that we could only get 3 nights to stay here for our wedding anniversary, and and every superlative that has been written here by others says it all.

My experience staying at this gem is hard to put to words. Having traveled extensively around Thailand with friends, I decided I needed to splurge and have a week to myself. After reading about the beauty of Koh Chang I stumbled upon this hotel on trip advisor. Every good thing that has been said about the hotel is true. Oliver,... More

We stayed at the Mangrove Hideaway in January 2013 for 4 nights to get to see the other side of Koh Chang after staying on the Klong Prao beach side earlier. Despite reading all the fantastic reviews, we were still totally blown away by the beauty of the Hideaway itself, the charm of the fishing village Salak Phet and the... More

There's a lot of things you can do on Koh Chang. You can go fight for some personal space on White Beach. You can party your head off on Lonely Beach. You can feed your tourist dollar to a large hotel from an international chain ... Or, you can go to Salak Phet and spend some time at the place... More
