Scene
Contemporary and comfortable with family-friendly features
Chaweng Cove Beach Resort is a family-friendly beachfront property with simple, unassuming architecture and decor. That's not to say the hotel doesn't have character, though. A wall with colorful potted flowers and colorful pots along walkways add some vibrancy that's otherwise missing from most areas. Still, indoor spaces are comfortable and contemporary, with a laid-back style consisting of wood and wicker furniture, blue mosaic tiling, and some pops of orange in the poolside umbrellas and lanterns hanging from a tree by the beach. resort's beachside restaurant offers upscale wicker lounge furniture. This resort predominantly sees adult couples and friends, though with a decent amount of kid-friendly amenities, families come here too.
Location
On the beach, walking distance to bars and restaurants
Beach-lovers come to Chaweng Cove Beach Resort for its setting along the sand on the island of Koh Samui. While its location close to popular bars and restaurants is convenient, nighttime noise can sometimes be an issue. Light sleepers may want to inquire about requesting a room that isn't road-facing. Samui Airport is a 13-minute drive from the hotel, while the Big Buddha tourist attraction is 23 minutes.
Rooms
Spacious and attractively furnished room have upscale amenities
Spacious and contemporary rooms at Chaweng Cove Beach Resort range from Deluxe Rooms to more impressive bungalows and villas.

The bungalows and villas, however, have more attractive dark-wood furniture, dark stone or hardwood floors, and interesting local-inspired artwork. Standard amenities include air-conditioning, a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, safe, coffee- and tea-making facilities, and a minibar, as well as a purple bathrobe, slippers, and umbrellas. Not all rooms promise a balcony or terrace, and those facing the road may experience noise. Bathrooms vary, but all have a sleek and modern aesthetic, sometimes consisting of attractive mosaic tiling. All bathrooms promise a well-sized walk-in shower, hairdryer, and free bath products.
