The resort locates on the roadside of north klong prao. If you are looking for the medium size cottage with the thatch roof, do not go any further. This is one of the real small boutique resorts in Koh Chang, nice and perfect gardening and landscape. If I have to answer which resort in Koh Chang best presents the Bali style, Botique resort will be one of the two that I have in mind. Even the location itself is not on the beach, you can walk about150 meters to access the public beach. Opposite the resort, there are restaurants, shops, ATM and mini mart in Koh Chang plaza, which you do not have to go to white sand beach to fill up your fridge. Also the resort provides the Thai Traditional spa. This is one of the good choices in Klong prao.

It appears as though the owners have learnt from last year's mistake of over-pricing the rooms so now, at under 3,000 Baht/night in the high season it's not a bad deal for what it is, which is a comfortable new 3 star that you could happily leave your Mum at and she'd be well looked after and pampered no end in the excellent spa.  I'd say it was a good choice though, in case your beachfront choice is full during the high season. 

In the second quarter of 2006, it's sister hotel the 'Chang Buri Resort & Spa' will be opening on the opposite side of the road offering far more luxurious, not to mention expensive, accommodation.  Guests on this side of the road stay in luxury villas where no expense has been spared, note the liberal use of teak wood, small private pools etc. 

Location wise, for both resorts, it's no problem to arrange stuff as there are tour agencies, car & bike hire places on your doorstep.  It's a 5-10 minute walk down the road to reach a good stretch of sand as the shoreline outside Chang Buri comprises more of stones than sand. In the opposite direction, after a 30 second stroll you'll be met with a selection of neon lit roadside beer bars populated by comely young Thai maidens all vying for your wallet's attention.
