Charm Churee Village Resort

I do not understand how Charm Churee can have received such good reviews. This place is falling apart and left in a time warp. Charm Churee if falling apart in more than one way. The huts - called villas here - are in very bad condition, the staff is surly and the place is in isolated location. The sea views are great but only some are close to Jansom bay / beach. I would not stay here again and I do recommend to reconsider if you have eyed this property as a potential place to stay while in Koh Tao.

We planned to stay there for a few nights, but extended our stay for several more. Really nice bungalo with balcony. Didn't try breakfast but evening restaurant was nice (but in the expensive side). The snorkeling right from the beach is in another level! Nice atmosphere all around the facilities!

Charm Churee is over a large area with great views of the sea and it has a cosy private beach. Several areas were being renovated while we were there, as it was during the low season. The villa was amazing, spacious and seemed to have a touch of traditional thai construction. The resort is about 10 mins walk from the centre. If you are sensitive to noise, make sure you check and request that you arent at the opposing side of party area of the bay, as you can hear the beats via the water; not that bad though. Staff was helpful and attentive. The least appealing side was breakfast, very limited and with no variety. You are better off not paying for it and catching something in the centre.

We booked through Agoda. The Hotel Charm Churee Villa charged our credit card with the amount of THB 21600 THB (EUR 559) before arrival. At check-in, they did not accept the Agoda booking. Eventhough the hotel stay was already paid. The hotel wanted us to pay again and charged again EUR 559. Unfortunately, we paid this amount once more. The hotel promised to refund the first payment. But until today, 3 months later, we have not received any refund. The hotel does not reply to our emails. We can proof the booking and double payment and can provide the supporting documentation. I strongly advise not to pay this hotel before arrival. Or you better book another nice hotel. This saves a lot of trouble. It is really a case of fraud. In case a manager reads this rating: I can proof everything with the supporting documents, we have all the evidence. If required, I can and will disclose all the documents.

We stayed in the eco room number 5, The room a bit old but everything still functional and clean. Stuff and service were very nice. We walked to Sai Nual beach for snorkeling and they have very well equipped for guess too on the way they have some nice viewpoint spot. We saw baby blacktip shark, big seashell, Anemonia with Nemo and a lot of fishes. Goodtimes

Charm Churee is a close 10min walk to the town, but far enough away for the peace and quiet that I want in my accommodation. The rooms are beautifully furnished, really comfortable beds, and they even supply flashlights and umbrellas. Arrival and departure transfers to/from the pier are included, but I missed seeing my arrival transfer in the sea of taxi hustlers as the pier. Make sure to turn LEFT (not straight) when you exit the pier, to find the hotel and meet/greet transfer drivers.

Ok so this hotel is in essence a really nice hotel . It’s a bit tired but for what I paid in the eco room I had a lovely little bungalow and was very happy . So this is a bit of a mixed review . The location is perfect if you don’t want the nightlife of Sairee Beach but it is a little remote if you are travelling alone . That’s not a critism just an observation . Don’t book here if you have any issue climbing steps !!y advice book a room with breakfast as it’s expensive . Now onto the restaurant. The food is actually very good and fairly priced however the restaurant staffs are at times a little lazy . People lounging around on their phones is not reflective of a 4 Star I think it’s adverstised as ? I like a glass of wine at whatever time I feel like on ewhen I’m on holiday and felt a little judged for that . That could of course just have been me . Overall it’s a good stay but I would look around if I were you . There are great deals all over Koh Tao

Loved the private beachfront and the beautiful Jansom Bay beach (apparently one of the most beautiful beaches in Koh Tao). It's 15-20 min walk to the city centre.

After terrible first impression (no road on Google maps, a lot of mosquitoes, tooooo much walking to reception) we had a great stay at resort. Stuff is more then friendly and helpful, rooms are quite big and we didn't had any problems with mosquitoes since there are two rooms, so if you keep bedroom door closed, you are good.

My 74 year old mother with a physical disability was given a complimentary upgrade to the sea front villa for our entire 12 day stay because of her mobility issues. Mr Jaxs even waivered all service fees because she could only use room service. Can not recommend highly enough.

we had the deluxe double room. it had plenty of space with a decent size bedroom, separate room for relaxing within mosquito screened walls and a balcony overlooking the sea. we had two nights, but extended to three since the private beach with great snorkeling potential (free snorkeling equipment available) and options for very reasonably priced tours from other companies made our stay on koh tao blissful. The staff were very warm and welcoming and the food was fantastic and very good price (20% discount for people staying in the resort). Dining area right on the front of the sea with views across the bay. If we ever get back to this area of Thailand we will definitely stay here again.

Very good hotel.

Very nice location, close to the pier and center of the town. Helpful staff, vintage but very climatic, rustic bungalows with full equipment inside and a view on the sea and jungle. Peaceful Jansom bay as a private beach for hotel customers. We'd like to return!

We booked our stay with charm Churee after looking at pictures of we thought was our room. Turns out our room was a bit rougher than we anticipated and had a large lizard living in our bathroom. There was a guy that followed us and checking all around under things in behind things for critters we assumed. Seemed no one had stayed in our room for quite a while. The pictures on agoda for our room we're completely different and not nearly as nice. The resort itself has lots of potential, but could use some renovations. The beach was very nice.

The resort is wonderful, romantic, unique for its style, atmosphere and for its beach - really great (small calm bay with transparent blue water and fishes right under your feet, and good snorkeling just 2 meters away from the beach). Nice staff! Clean territory and rooms. Very nice bungalows (different but all seem very nice). Good breakfast. Amazing restaurant for dinner (very romantic, just above the sea!). The resort is perfect for couples! Not so much for small children (we were with 1,4 years old daughter) - steep stairs and paths to the rooms, to the beach, to the restaurant, and even inside the bungalow there are stairs! We had great time there (7nights) but I wouldn't recommend it for families with small children. For romantic couples - 100% recommended!!!

Pros the private beach is so beautiful Staff very friendly Cons. Hills, need a big referbish rooms are very remote

Beautiful place. One of the coolest resorts I've stayed in. Amazing design and breathtaking cove excellent for snorkeling. Saw three stingrays and a bunch of fish. Would highly recommend. Very nice staff.

I would say best location on the island. Only 5 min ride to the main beach where shops etc are but far enough from any noise. The best private beach, with one of the best spot for snorkeling just for guests. Rooms are so cute and colorful. The starlight restaurant is the Most amazing place to have dinner. Can't wait to go back

Liked the location great views from room and restaurant and the private beach was very nice. Disliked that the pool was not operational, not sure for how long. The are mosquitoes and they get in from everywhere so use the mosquito net. And the noise from the boats that start very early in the morning are very loud.
