May be too far out of the lively center for some
Some design elements are dated
There are 43 rooms at this mid-range property set on the quieter, south
side of Chaweng Beach. It’s a great location for those wanting to be in a
beachfront spot but away from the noise of the town center, though the selection of bars and restaurants down here is far thinner. Rooms are simple, with traditional Thai decor that's a bit old school, plus minibars, free
Wi-Fi, and balconies. Some have private outdoor hot tubs as well. Facilities include a pretty spa with beachside treatments, an outdoor pool, a well-liked beachfront restaurant, and a pool bar. Those
looking for a more contemporary and trendy decor should try the OZO Chaweng
Samui, which is closer to the center of town, though rates will be higher.

Scene
Quiet, traditionally styled hotel away from Chaweng's party scene
Peace and quiet can be luxuries in Chaweng, but this traditional hotel -- at the far southern end of the beach -- manages to offer both in a pleasant package. The resort's old-school vibe is clear from the outside, as pagoda-roofed buildings emerge from tropical greenery. The hotel's lobby is fairly small, but bright, and -- like the rest of the resort -- it has a distinctly Thai atmosphere. There are large colorful paintings on the walls depicting seascapes,
traditional Thai boats, and temples. There's a computer station which guests
are welcome to use, a comfortable brown fabric sofa, and some contemporary
cream and dark wood chairs. The reception desk is made of dark solid wood too,
and there are vases of fresh flowers to perk things up. The property has a calm, quiet
feel, and a slightly dated look, and attracts guests of different ages. It's a more family-friendly resort
than many in Chaweng, as there are good facilities for those traveling with
children including babysitting services, a children's pool, children's menus in
the restaurants, and cots and high chairs are provided too.
Location
On the quieter south end of Chaweng Beach
This beachfront property is set on the south end of Chaweng Beach. Guests
will find it much quieter in this area than being right in the heart of the
raucous party town, but it’s close enough to visit easily. The immediate area is pretty sedate, with just a few bars and restaurants within a five- minute walk, and most of the hotel's neighbors are other hotels. Chaweng Walking Street is a 15-minute walk from the property. Those who want to head
to the well-known nightspots like the Ark Bar and the other attractions of
Chaweng’s center, such as the Central Festival Mall, can get there
in about 10 minutes by taxi. Other popular
tourist attractions nearby include the Big Buddha and Bang Rak Beach, which are
both around a 15- to 20-minute drive from the resort. Koh Samui Airport takes 15 minutes to reach by car.
Rooms
Simple rooms with traditional Thai style, balconies, and free fruit basket
The 43 guest rooms at the Samui Paradise Chaweng Beach Resort are
decorated in traditional Thai style, with wooden flooring and charming wooden furnishings. Throw pillows and abstract wall art add a little life to the otherwise straightforward spaces, though the look is a bit dated and we did spot some wear on the wood floors in some rooms. They are fairly light, as they
have lots of large windows that look out onto the sea or the resort’s tropical
gardens. Villas have a cabin-like look, with lots of wood paneling on the walls. Most rooms are on the compact side of things, though some have a bit more space.A range of categories are available, Standard Rooms to Grand Villas, which are set in the hotel's gardens, to the Honeymoon Suite which is right on the
beachfront and has an indoor hot tub, large balcony, private garden, and
swimming pool. All rooms have welcome fruit baskets, free bottled water, flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, air-conditioning, safes, minibars, tea- and coffee-making facilities, balconies, bathrobes and slippers, and free Wi-Fi.
Bathrooms are spacious and modern, with large walk-in showers. Some have a
white color scheme with wooden-clad walls, while others have neutral,
contemporary tiling with sections of mosaic.
Features
Outdoor pool, plus beachfront restaurant and lovely spa
The hotel has a small swimming pool that's surrounded by tropical
plants and redwood decking with sun loungers and parasols. There are two hot
tubs and a separate children's pool. The pool bar is open during the day for
drinks and snacks. The other dining option is the Paradise Restaurant
which is set right on the beach and open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It
serves a mix of international and traditional Thai cuisine, and also features
lots of fresh seafood -- the dishes are well-liked by previous guests, though breakfast is not included in room rates. There's a separate children's menu and a bar as well. The
property also has a lovely spa where treatments such as traditional Thai massages can
be taken in the open-air pavilion next to the beach. It also has a hot tub and
steam room. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, and concierge services are available.
