During a month long trip my two hours spend at this hotel was the absolute lowlight. We emailed ahead to reserve a delux cabin for 3 which was not provided on our arrival. The owner was unavailable and being tired from a long journey we looked elsewhere. On returning to collect our things the owner was back and rather then... more

Don't be fooled by the clever photography on their website: the Orchid 'Resort' is tiny, the 'delux' bungalows are very small with minimal space and amenities, and the pool is a postage stamp of water you would have to be the size of a river-boatman to appreciate. The flowers are pretty but the location is rubbish and the staff are... more

If you're looking at this place you're probably looking at a midrange place, maybe hoping to find something a little special. This place is not it. A list of positives and negatives about the resort: Positive - clean rooms, good breakfast (a cooked breakfast is not what you're imagining if you're from nz/australia etc, it's much less exciting), a real... more

We stayed here in Dec 2008 for 5 nights. Although the resort is lovely to look at with orchids, huts, pool and sitting areas. The staff leave a lot to be desired. After travelling through Thailand staying in many budget guesthouses from Chiang Mai to Bangkok where the people and hospitality were wonderful, we found the Orchid second rate. The... more

We have stayed here for 5 nights. A nice Dutch owner, good bungalows, good service, the food was OK. The beach is just a 1 minute walk and the owner will take you every day to a beach close by for free if you want. Now that is service! If you are looking for a Thai feel; don't go there.... more

We second poppy'200's and cltaylor's reviews of this hotel. Reservation was made on their website with prompt reply from the Dutch owner. When we got there one evening in November at about 9PM, it's another story altogether. The staff just looked at us with no reaction. The Thai lady in charge was extremely rude. She yelled at us instead of... more

I do not agree with the previous reviwer. We have just returned from a really enjoyable stay at the Orchid Resort, Nov 19-Nov 27. The hotel is situated in Bailan Bay, a more quiet part of Koh Chang which suited me and my boyfriend perfectly. We stayed in a sea view deluxe bungalow for 2000 bath per night, with a... more
