We visited this resort in May 2013 with a family of 5 (including three children, aged 4, 6 and 8). We only spent two nights, as the family room was only available for two nights. The only downside of our stay, was the length of it: two days is too short... For the rest, it was super: Clean rooms, beautifull... More

There are already many reviews on here that talk about the set up the facilities and location so I wont get into that. For us the place was perfect. Set in beautiful gardens with a very accommodating host who made sure we had everything we needed for the 7 nights we stayed. We slept like babies, enjoyed chilling round the... More

What a great place to relax and recharge batteries! Ideally located away from the noise and bustle of the west coast, this comfortable small resort provides a peaceful place to relax in comfortable deck hairs overlooking the sea and the Thai mainland, with Cambodia in the distance. Kayaks are available for a bit of exercise if you feel the need.... More

We recently stayed at this beautiful resort on the quiet side of Koh Chang and would thoroughly recommend it. Accommodation is in thatched bungalows set in lush gardens next to the beach- a little bit of paradise! The owners Julian and Cheryl do all they can to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible, and the food at their... More

We visited Amber Sands in mid-February and the first thing we were wowed by were the fantastic gardens - walking into the property was quite a magical experience. The pictures on the website although lovely, really don't do it justice and that feeling of having your expectations exceeded is something that you feel throughout most things at Amber Sands.

Thank you Clairabellq for your review and for your kind comments. We always get a kick out of guests telling us that they prefer Amber Sands to some of the bigger fancier and more expensive hotels and resorts on Koh Chang! And even better is when they move from one of the 5 star resorts to stay with us, which... More

Thank you ludwigBangkok for your kind comments. Many people are surprised to find our quiet peaceful resort tucked a short way down the east coast, but not too far from "action". Somebody told us the other day that Amber Sands was in the perfect "half way" position between the busy White Sands, and the unspoilt scenic Salakphet. We're very pleased... More

We have stayed at Amber Sands on two occasions - October last year and February 2013. Both times we've loved this resort. Julian and Cheryl are superb hosts - they strike the right balance between wonderful customer service but not 'hovering' over guests. We stayed in the Family Room (8) and it's ideal for a family with 2 huge rooms.... More

The perfect place for a restful vacation. Superb landscaping with planty of orchids. Great food, especially the red curry which I ate four times. Not much to do here but it is the most relaxing place I have ever stayed. Top-notch management and wonderful staff. Loved it!

We're so glad that you both enjoyed your stay and found it restful and relaxing. Our gardens give our guests and us much pleasure and we'll continue to develop them, but the orchids under the able care of our gardener, Diem, are especially lovely, you're right. We have a long way to go to reach the standards of that spot... More

My husband states that this is the best place in Thailand for a beach holiday. Accommodation accurately depicted on the website. Menu is simple, but fresh and tasty. Team could not be more helpful in terms of advice with day trips, restaurant recomendations etc. Only sorry we didn't spend longer here.

In England they have a TV advertisement that has the well-known phrase “it does what it says on the tin”. That is how we want to be remembered, and how we set up our web site, for example. We don’t want those glossy photos that one often sees or fancy words and when you get to the hotel, you experience... More
