The Garden Resort is located in the center of Kai Bae on Koh Chang just 200 meters walk from the beach. Lots of shops, bars and restaurants are within walking distance. We feature (among other things) a beautiful salt water swimming pool and pride ourselves on a very personal service towards our guests. Garden Resort: Koh Chang's best kept secret!

Koh Chang is still very quiet but that was fine for me, only one other couple staying here while I was here. Very comfortable beds and room in general for the price point. Pool was very refreshing. Dutch owner always happy to help if you want to know something. Located on the main street on the island but set back so no noise. Lots of restaurant and bars on your doorstep. Situated between lonely beach and Klong Prao makes it exploring on a scooter easy. The only thing that i can say is lighting when walking to room could be better, had to use torch on my phone to walk along the footsteps leading to my room by the pool at back of property. Food not being served on property right now because they dont have the guests to be able to do this which is understandable, plenty choices close by.

Great breakfast, amazing host, great location, access to loads of films. We loved our stay at the Garden Resort!! I wish we had stayed for longer. The hosts made us feel so welcomed and you get the personal attention that bigger resorts lack. They have started an open mic on a Tuesday which was so much fun and included some great talents. I would definitely recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!!

At least twice a year we visit Ko Chang, and than we always Stay in Garden Resort, Kai Bae. In the middle of Kai Bae, but once you enter the resort it is serene. The owners are great and together with the staff friendly and very helpful. The rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable. Good mattress. Fridge, flatscreen with apple tv, thousands of movies on their own Nas system. Everything you need for a plesant stay. In the back a nice Salt water swimming pool up to 3 meter deep. In the front there is a nice bar with big cinema with surround sound. So on a rainy day you can still enjoy the hospitality. Breakfast is simply great. Very extended with daily fresh bread. You can find cheaper places on Koh Chang, but no second Garden resort. Highly recommended

What a beautiful resort.
Great banter with Mause. Jeab is a fabulous cook, breakfast is second to none. Snow (their puppy) is absolutely gorgeous and usually available for a cuddle.
We're at the end of an 11 night stay and we've had a ball. 5 minute stroll down the road to the beach where the elephants bathe every morning and evening, it's really lovely to see them enjoying the water.
Restaurants in this area are fantastic. The pizzeria at the entrance to the resort is really, really good. As is the Mexican at the other side.
Very comfortable beds and pillows. High quality be linens and towels.
Music night on Tuesdays is great fun.
The resort and rooms are spotless. We're already planning our return visit next year.
Thanks for the laughs, Mause. You give as good as you get, that's for sure. We've had an amazing time.

Very nice and family-friendly accommodation on Koh Chang at Kai Bai Beach. Very nice bungalow with 2 rooms with door in between so children could live in one part and parents in the other. Close to the beach and a nice salt water pool in the area, simpler but good breakfast. Would love to stay at this hotel again and very affordable.

Mouse and the team make this such an amazing place it felt like we had stayed with friends. Rooms are clean, comfortable with a lovely terrace and have an amazing film selection. The pool is an added bonus. Breakfasts are a treat! The location is perfect with some great thai street food restaurants and a 7/11 next door. Tuesday nights are a bonus. It was perfect! Thank you Mouse.

What a great place to stay. Management and staff excellent, our rooms were by the pool and rooms had everything you would need in them and very clean. Bed was excellent not hard mattress at all and fluffy pillows. Location is good as plenty of places nearby eat eat at. I personally recommend this place and will be going back.

We were hoping to have an extra relaxing stay before heading off to more serious activities afterwards, we couldn't have made a worse choice. The room was like a hotel room, not a bungalow. One wall is completely glass, facing the path between the bungalows, and there were lights shining into the window all night, which gave us the feeling that it was daylight outside, even with the white curtains drawn. This coupled with the throbbing base music coming from the street, and the main restaurant/bar of the resort, we couldn't sleep until the wee hours of the morning. The bed was like sleeping on concrete with a thin mattress over it. One of the staff spoke English well, but the rest very poorly, more than once a miscommunication took place.

If you want to go and party all night and then come home to dip in the pool - which admittedly is very nice, but not huge - and then stay up late to watch cable TV, then stay here. But why pay such an exceptionally high room rate to accomplish this? After more than five visits to Koh Chang over 12 years, this has to be the worst place I've ever stayed on the island, at the highest rate. After 15 years of regular visits to places in this and higher price ranges, this has to be one of the worst I can remember.

Response from Garden_Resort, Owner at Garden Resort
Responded 26 Dec 2011
Dear Jennyjupiter, We have no records of your stay at our resort. Over the last two months we didn't have any guests from Portugal or anyone called Jenny, Jennifer or a similar name. However, I would like to correct some things you wrote in your review. The Garden Resort has 20 rooms: 6 stand alone bungalows and 7 semi-detached bungalows (2 under 1 roof). All the bungalows are placed a minimum of 4 meters apart. So I don't really understand what you mean by your comment 'the room looks like a hotel room'. Only the walk paths are lit at nighttime with 5 Watt lightbulbs, just enough to see the path. There are however porch lights on every bungalow porch. The switch for the porch lights are inside the rooms, so you can switch them on or off whenever you like. With the porch light off, there is no light shining in the room. Our bar/restaurant mainly caters for in house guests. The kitchen closes at 10 pm and the bar at midnight. The music is kept at a level that normal conversation can take place. On most Thursdays we throw a party with a free BBQ and live music, that's the only time when the music is audible in some of the rooms, but even then we stop the music at 11:30 pm. Hardly the wee hours of the morning. Most of our guests actually appreciate the Thursday nights. In general there is very little noise coming through to the resort from the street, but there are some bars in Kai Bae that sometimes throw a party. Since these places are located about 200 meters from the resort, the noise they produce is hardly audible from that distance. On many occasion we get the comment that our guests finally had a comfortable bed, unlike in most Thai hotels. That comment can even be found in many reviews here on Tripadvisor. 5 of our 12 staff members speak English quite adequate. The other staff (maintenance, gardning, cleaning etc) don't have to deal with the customers directly so for them there is no need to do so. Our salt water swimming pool is 7 x 13 x 3 meters. More than adequate for a resort our size. In fact it is bigger and deeper than the pools of 4 nearby resorts that have 40 rooms or more. Kind regards, Mause Koekoek General Manager Garden Resort

Hi elecav, There are shared taxi's driving around all the time. So getting around the island is very easy. Kai Bae Beach is very nice and within only 300 meters from Garden Resort. Klong Prao Beach is a few kilometres away, but the shared taxi will bring you there for app 50 THB per person. To White Sand Beach is charged at 60 THB per person. Kindest regards, Mause Koekoek Garden Resort

Hello Juanaise5, Our rooms, even when not occupied, are vented everyday by running the aircon for at least an hour to prevent dampness or other smells. Also the problem with the neighbours waterpump has been resolved. In general, all our rooms are pretty quiet, especially the poolside rooms, but that is also depending on the staying guests. Feel free to check out the reviews, not only on TA, but also on other internet fora before you decide. Kindest regards, Mause Koekoek Garden Resort

Hi there, Sorry about this (very) late response. I must have missed the email from TA. Anyway: In my opinion, one of the best massage parlors on Koh Chang is 'Kaew & Deaw Massage' in Kai Bae, just off the main road near 'Mango Tree' bungalows. Kind regards, Mause Koekoek Garden Resort

Dear Maryorogo, Garden Resort is located in Kai Bae, 16-19 km from the ferry pier, depending on which ferry you arrive. Once on Koh Chang, there are shared taxi's waiting to bring travelers to their destination. From the pier to Garden Resort is charged at app 80 THB per person. Garden Resort is not located directly at the beach, but the nearest (sandy) beach is just 250 meters walk from the resort. Kind regards, Mause Koekoek Garde Resort
