VAYNA Boutique Koh Chang

Had a wonderful stay with VAYNA hotel - the staff were very attentive and the beach had an amazing sunset with happy hour cocktails. They arranged full boat and taxi to Bangkok for us, our only issue was the taxi driver charged us again for the boat ticket which we had paid for via hotel and was very pushy for a tip on dropping us off. Which we again paid him more, always happy to tip for great service but he had already sort of scammed us and asked for a tip which we didn’t want to give. Left a sour taste on the stay which is no fault of the hotel as they don’t employ driver but better sourcing of firm used would be better for their future guests - just be aware, total price to Bangkok was 5000 baht after paying hotel 4000 baht and driver a further 1000

The rooms are pretty old but it’s fine. The bed is very comfortable and huge. The AC is extremely noisy and it points directly at the bed, so it gets very cold at night. We had to sleep with ear plugs each night. There is a construction side next to the hotel, and sometimes it started at 7:30 am so there was not much sleep for us. The breakfast was average. The site and the pool are beautiful. There are not enough sun beds and guests have a tendency of occupying them all day without actually being there. The staff is very nice and polite. Would come back, when the construction side is finished.

Rooms felt a little unfinished, missing a wardrobe/drawers, Huge building works going on next door, noisy when outside however not able to hear inside the room which was great. Beach front sand a bit dirty, felt like run off from building site, however staff great at clearing any obvious debris. Lack of sunloungers for the number of guest, beds reserved with towels from before 7am. Meant often did not get one. Breakfast was a little repetitive, same fruits and type of yoghurt each day for the 5 days. Spacious rooms, clean and modern. Staff very friendly, helpful and polite Hotel arranged a wonderful taxi from Bangkok. Located at the end of the beach, great location to wander down to other bars and restaurants. Not far from the main Road, shops 7/11, great restaurants, and a quick scooter ride (on a hotel hired scooter) to walking street and kaibae for more fabulous restaurants and bars. Smart TV with netflix loaded was great for watching after a long beach day and to escape the tropical rains. Happy hour frozen strawberry daiquiris were arroy mak mak. All in all a cute place, worth the money, shame about the building works however honestly didn't affect our experience at all, the sunlounger situation did though.

We stayed here five nights. Absolutely stunning setting. Rooms are great. F&B a bit more expensive compared to other places in the area. Great pool and right at the beach. Staff is so friendly and attentive. Would absolutely recommend to anyone enjoying their holidays. Location is on a great area of the island with lively atmosphere yet not too busy.
