        Relaxed Place on the Water”

        Stayed the 1st night up the hill in a big room. Everything good but no Wi-Fi all the way up. Owner changed me to a room on the water. Smaller but great feeling and views. Both rooms where clean and the bed comfortable. Staff is very friendly and helpful. There is a nice coffee place 2 minutes further down the path. I had a really good time at the place and would recommend it to a friend. Keep in mind: it is far from anything and you best have your own transportation.

        Beautiful!!”

        Island View resort is located on the less touristy side (east) of Ooh Chang. You are close to beautiful nature and are able to relax completely alone! It takes an hour by taxi to get to the other side so definitely rent motorbikes if you can and wish to travel around the island by yourself. Restaurant food is delicious but can get pricy! You can get a canoe for the day and go to the the little island across the view! Very beautiful place to go!

        We had the whole resort to ourselves, the owner was very helpful, the only thing that was a let down was the boat docked at the pier right in front of our room obscuring the beautiful view. Overall a great place and value for money.

        Very pleasant stay in an unusual and quirky place”

        The food, the amazing location and the quirk atmosphere with unusual Hotel Management

        My and my family's stay at Island View was one of my best holiday hotel experiences to date. The location of Island View in a relatively unspoiled and uncrowded part of Koh Chang is outstanding and the lack of a beach at the resort is more than compensated for by the boating and water based activities available from sailing to kayaking to nearby pristine beaches. The food at the Hotel is very good with their signature fish dish being really excellent. The selection of European/German food is great too and I certainly enjoyed the sauerkraut and pork offering. One great feature which I've not seen anywhere else is the big drinks coller next to reception where an honesty policy operates so you can help yourself to beer and drinks whenever you want and you just have to make a note on a personalised tab. All prices at the hotel were very reasonable indeed and value for money is fine. The accomodation on the hillside above the resort is a little basic although the swimming pool is fine. However for the best experience I strongly recommend getting a room on the pier over the water as these are really great even if somewhat basic with limited wi-fi. For me the most enjoyable element of the stay was the service provided by Dieter and his colleague Jimmy and the rest of the team there which was good and very personal without the "sugar coating" you tend to get at some hotels. They say it like it is but they always try to find a good solution and their behaviour and attitude made the stay memorable for me to the point that I would certainly go back again in the future and recommend to others. So all in all a lot of fun for the 4 nights we were there and if you want a place to really relax and get away from it all, at a very reasonable price, with no nearby roads or motor traffic noise to disturb you then this is the place for you as long as one doesn't expect lots of luxuries and one has an open mind :-)

        Perfect For Our Needs”

        My wife and I stayed here last month ad we have only positive things to say about it. It is situated on a beautiful and quiet bay on the less developed Eastern side of the island. While it may be too remote for some it was perfect for us. We had a lovely spacious room on the hillside right by the pool with great views of the bay. Also outside the room was a nice jungle walking path, perfect for walking our dog. There are other rooms literally on the water that looked very nice too, but weren't suitable for us as pet owners. The food was very good and Dieter and his staff were gracious and welcoming hosts. The owner was extremely helpful about local sites to go and explore. The resort also rented us a small boat for one of the days at a very reasonable cost. Great for exploring the lovely islands and beaches in the bay. A real highlight. This is certainly a great place for those who are looking for quiet and are more interested in exploring the area than going out for a big night. It is worth noting this resort is waterside, but is not on a beach, which may not suit some. It was, however, perfect for our needs and comes highly recommended.

        hotel room in the sea

        I really enjoyed my weekend stay at island view resort and spa kho Chang. I have been to kho Chang many times before and this hotel was far from tourist the best palce I have stayed and live close to yacht club and fisher man village . I will definitely come back to visit kha Chang again. I booked type of room in the sea and island panorama view. The owner there were friendly. The room at hotel was perfect clean; and night time a lot of wind flow not need to turn on Air-condition. Loved to stay at this place.

        Perfect hideaway”

        Views and service

        For the right kind of traveler, this is absolutely the perfect place. At the end of the road, out on a pier, surrounded on one side by a jungle mountain and other the other 3 sides by water and tropical islands this small resort is a far cry from the bustle and nightlife of the west side of the island. But if you like immediately becoming friends with your host, wonderful, individually prepared meals, quite comfortable rooms (with wifi) and endless views, then you can't beat Island View. Dieter knows this part of the island, and gives a helpful briefing complete with maps and suggestions to get you started. The kayaks, snorkel gear and bikes are free to use and there are several day's worth of activities without ever getting near the road. We snorkeled and enjoyed a beach all to ourselves, toured the mangrove by kayak and walked the path to the lovely pool on the mountainside. Scooters are cheap...we payed 200 baht for a day and toured the rest of the island with ease seeing the beach towns, the elephants, waterfalls, temples and other beaches. We had several meals in other places but kept coming back to Island view for the food. All in all we had a wonderful time and even stayed one night longer than planned.

        FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWDS”

        REMOTE LOCATION - VALUE FOR MONEY - CLEAN

        We stayed over a week at Island View – lots of time to unwind. Definitely take the day long boat trip (500 baht per person) to see nearby beaches and do some snorkeling – you need four people but Dieter will match you up with someone if he can. There are kayaks on offer for free so you can paddle over to a really lovely beach (20-30 minutes depending on the conditions). We went once by kayak and once with another couple on the small powerboat (500 baht all in) and spent the day. You can swim off the dock and the water seemed to always be very clean but there is no beach right there and while you're on the water you have to travel to find sand. We very much enjoyed the food – everything was cooked fresh so when the dining area was busy it could take a while, but the food was delicious. Do try the whole fish specialty – it was great. There are bikes for free as well - make sure to book them ahead - to ride into the town, see the Temple, walk around the mangrove forest and visit the ATM. You have to pay IN CASH - no credit cards are accepted - and the ATM only worked with a VISA card, not a bank card - so be warned. It sometimes doesn't have money and then you'll have to rent a scooter (250 baht) and go to another ATM more up island and if you want to see the beaches on the other side of the island, this is the way to do it. It was great to be somewhere without crowds so if you're after a low key, laid back place on Ko Chang I'd highly recommend it.

        Stilt hotel in very remote and quite area of Koh Chang”

        I recommend this hotel for thouse who love sea, sailing and boating and who like to stay in remote place, far from overdeveloped tourist areas. This hotel located at the south of island, in very remote area. Songthaews from piers go to this hotel only 3 times per day (100 baht), taxis could be very expensive, but you can rent motorbike at the ferry pier and drive from pier to hotel by yourself (cheap and fun). This is stilt hotel (it stand on water, raised on pilings, around 50 meters from shore), with nice views from balcony, where you can relax and enjoy seaviews. Hotel offers free kayak boat renting and (expensive) charter boat tours around nearby islands. Food in hotel not cheap, but great quality (tom yum was tasty and with generous amount of shrimps). You can find also other food options slightly outside of hotel. Rooms quite comfortable for this kind of accomodation, with pictures of yahts and boats on the walls. Area very quite and very far from noisy life (25km to Centerpont Pier, 40km to White Sand Beach).

        Nice hotel above the water”

        If you need a place on the other side of Koh Chang where there is much more to do - go on. There are nice things to explore and this hotel is a place to stay. Free kayak for visiting mangroove and White sand island, scooters availability to go around and the food is nice, actually much better than expensive big seafood restaurant nearby!

        A Must Stay if You're a Low-key Person”

        quiet, view, quiet

        The location is fantastic if you want to stay literally ON the water, and as long as you don't mind being on the quiet side of the island (which requires you to travel by motorbike, kayak or on foot 1-2 hours to get to a sandy beach). Beautiful, restful location, good restaurant (also try Salakphet Seafood and Resort a few doors down), and lots of activities the staff (Jimmy) can arrange for you. Jimmy is awesome. He's super knowledgeable, friendly and helpful in all ways. Our stay could have been spectacular given all I described above, but instead it was only overall pretty good. I was disappointed. My partner had gotten sick the day before we were supposed to arrive at the resort so we were running a day behind schedule. We contacted the owner through Agoda to let him know (unfortunately it's not easy to communicate through Agoda) and we didn't have the owner's direct email address. When we arrived a day late he told us he had cancelled our reservation, and although we had already paid in full, he had given our "Comfort" (more expensive, better view) room away and tried to put us in a standard room. When we said we preferred to be in one of the obviously open rooms with the view in the "Comfort Room" pictures we had paid for, he lost his temper and started yelling at us. I understand that there can sometimes be a misunderstanding or a miscommunication (he said Agoda never contacted him to inform him of our notice we would be a day late), but hotel guests shouldn't be yelled at by hotel owners - that's basic Hospitality 101. The situation was finally resolved and the owner let us move into one of the open premium rooms, but only after we fought for it. Bottom line: it's a great location, and if you're willing to put up with a grumpy old man telling you what will make you comfortable, and if you're pretty low-key and don't care which room you're put in (they're all on the water), it's a must-stay.

        Great place for a complete rest.”

        Completely out of the way, non touristic, en bare nature.

        this is the place to come if you wish to move away from crowds and tourist traps. this resort is at the end of the road, the end of the island, facing an archipello of little islands to which you can kayak or visit by boat. each island has bare sand beaches and great snorkeling. this is a place where watches are not used, where time stops, and where things get done when you are ready, not the guide or the bus. although the hotel is not fancy it is comfortable, very clean and well kept. this little place is on my list for coming back again and again every time i need to charge up my batteries.

        Amazing view, really quiet, fabulous food

        The owner of the hotel is really helpful and very keen for you to get the most out of your stay. We ate all our meals at the hotel because the food was so good. The rooms were quite small but perfectly comfortable, more than made up for by being actually on the water. The views are stunning and there are plenty of opportunities for kayaking and sailing. The pool is very nice and again, lovely views. We thought that this resort was really good value for money and peace and quiet in Thailand is really beyond price!

        Peace with Adventure”

        The views and natural surroundings.

        We enjoyed our stay at Island View Resort and Spa. Even during low season, Deiter (the owner) was extremely accomodating to our desires. We were able to wake up to beautiful water views from the pier and sit in lovely silence. It was not touristy, which was fine because we had already done the other side of the island. It is more expensive on this side of the island. The menu is good, but it is pricey. Knowing this and having no transportation you may want to budget accordingly. You can rent a moto (we had a blast), but you will not want to spend over $10 a day on rental and gas many days in a row if you are budget-conscious. The Kiyaks are free to use. You can fish off of the Pier and going to the secret beach (though a trek and very hard for an inexperienced moto driver) was one of the coolest experiences of my life. My husband brought his knife and opened coconuts. We were able to enjoy sun, a good book, fresh coconute milk, waves, and the fresh water stream. If you are looking for rest and relaxation, you cannot help but find it here. We were so thankful for Deiter's hospitality and the change of pace.

        This is at the opposite end of the island, away from the crowds and Noice of the popular beach area. It's a perfect wilderness area, right on the water, surrounded by jungle. Very pretty and most peaceful. Wonderful views of surrounding islands. Great food, and a very helpful friendly owner operator. He has everything you may need including kaiyaks bikes motos

        The hotel is on stilts on the sea so you are surrounded by the ocean, great watersport activities available, very quiet

        We really enjoyed our stay. At first we were unsure of our host, who can come across as a bit "gruff" but as the days went by we came to love his "gruffness"! We were expecting Island View Resort to have a beach within walking distance but there is so much to do that it didn't make a difference. There is a small white sand beach across the bay and has a little boat that takes you across. It is a small deserted island so you normally have it all to yourself (we were a bit disappointed at the litter on the one side). We found coconuts on the beach and enjoyed some coconut juice! Kayaks and bicycles are available free of charge. We took advantage of the kayaks and rowed to White Sand Beach and the mangrove which is so quiet and peaceful. was exceptionally helpful with arranging any activities for us. We hired a boat which took us to 6 beautiful islands where we snorkelled - This was definately a highlight. Awesome! We would definately go back. Peaceful, quiet and beautiful.

        On the water, amazing crew, nice rooms

        Had an amazing time sleeping above the water, loved this house on poles, swimming all day. Wish I'd brought my fishing rod. To see those big fish from your balcony and hear them jump at night!! Owner is a great guy and his crew is excellent. Cleanest rooms we've come across and the food is outstanding. It's expensive food for Thai standards and takes a while because it's freshly cooked one by one. We went canoeing (free) , cycling (free) and did a 5 island trip (500 Baht). Come here if you love everything ocean related. No idea what you'd do here if you're not into swimming, snorkeling, boating etc.

        Peace ”

        We went to Kon Chang for a short break and decided to go to this side of the island and away from the beaches and weareglad we did. There isn't a beach as such on this side of the island but the hotel is by the sea and the setting is beautiful and abundant wildlife. The hotel is a very low key sort of place and if you are looking for a 4/5 star hotel then you will need to go elsewhere. However, if you want a hotel near fresh seafood restaurants and a place that is peaceful then this is the place. The service isn't that great and at times rather slow but the staff are friendly and try their best. Personally I found the service to be completely acceptable and added to the charm of the place.
