Chaweng Noi Resort

Awful place and definitely not ad advertised. Dreadful welcome at reception-very unprofessional. Ants in the room,no safe,no TV and no working lock on the door. I would say this is just about good enough for a backpacker but I would definitely not recommend to anyone.

Very nice people , took good care of us

Poorly managed and maintained. Not good at all

Everything about this accommodation is wrong. It is neither a resort nor a hotel. It is situated at the back of a **** shop on an uphill gravel road strewn with potholes in what seems to be converted offices of shops with some extra bungalows built on. Taxis refuse to enter and you’re dropped of on the busy main road with all your luggage, having to lug it uphill and in the process ruin your suitcase wheels. The pictures are misleading and creates the impression of a beach front resort - the photographer deserves an award. The entrance indicates that you have arrived at law offices. Inside, the knotty pine ceiling grooves are stringed with what looks like pearls but in fact are little round balls of spider egg sacks. The kitchen is behind the full glass façade of a law office, with lettering on the window and all. We were immediately put off and asked to see the rooms before we checked in. The host was immediately put off with our request but did allow us. Our rooms were not what we booked at all. We informed the host of our grievances: • We asked for single beds, both rooms were double. • The furniture seems to be a mix of whatever is left at garage sales – no matching night stands, chipping paint, wonky side tables. The same goes for the electrical equipment - the hairdryer's wiring in particular. • The rooms smelled like old sweat. • The linen was clearly not changed since the previous guests – besides being full of slept-in wrinkles and smelling like sweat, we found hair and hair pins in our bed. • The curtains had moth egg sacks on. • There were no night lights. • There was no coffee kettle. When asked for one, we were given a leaky one. • The empty space underneath “villas”, on stilts, are used as rubbish dumps – it is filled with garbage, empty bottles, even a used condom. • The patio table seems not to have been cleaned in years – there is black mold between the glass top and the table surface. • The bathrooms don’t have hot water. When asked for hot water, the staff had to fiddle for what seemed like hours to get the little geyser-thingy working. • The TV only has pay-per-view channels. • The bar fridge has a stock list on the door indicating it is full of items, yet it only has two bottles of water inside. Be sure to report this to the host immediately if you don’t want to be charged for all the missing items. • There is not complimentary coffee or tea. • The rooms are full of bugs. We all left covered in bites. • The rooms are noisy with flimsy walls. Our rooms were located a meter from where trucks and cars park, with noise all night as vehicles come and go and shine their lights into your eyes. There is no free parking as there is no parking really, only an empty space next to the “resort”. • The guests seem to stay here for particular reasons only. Rooms are frequented by different local women all day and night. • The entire place is covered in cut-off pieces of fake lawn, making it a smelly, mushy experience to wa
