Six of us stayed at Amber Sands for two weeks. Julian and Cheryl made our holiday complete. Nothing was to much trouble and they were always happy to have a chat and impart local information. If you are looking for peace and quiet in a beautiful location then this is the place to come. We can't thank them enough for... More

My friends and I stayed at Amber Sands for 8 nights with my toddler. The place is gorgeous, and the rooms are very comfortable, well maintained and affordable. I really liked the fact that the resort only has 8 bungalows, so it's very quiet and peaceful. My son really loved the pool and the beach. Julian and Cheryl went out... More

What else can be said after all the previous reviews ? Julian and Sheryl and their lovely Thai chef (also in charge of the waitresses) are very welcoming and their 8 large rooms very nice. Each are different (i stayed in 2 different rooms there) and i can't say which one was best (the number 5 for its natural all-bamboo... More

We spend quite some time researching where we stay; we wanted to chill out in a quality and tranquil setting with good service and where we felt welcomed, Amber Sands exceeded our expectations. You will find Amber Sands will not disappoint it is far better than any review can say. We certainly agree with other reviews if you want noise... More

We searched the internet for a tranquil get away from it all hideaway in order to re-charge our batteries. We run a luxury bed and breakfast in the UK and we can totallly relate to Cheryl and Julian who are constantly striving to achieve the perfect sanctuary away from the stresses of normal living in their small and exclusive resort....

Lindie and I visited Amber Sands for 8 days in late October 2011, after a few days on one of the other islands and all we want to do is go back to Amber Sands. We went with the intention of chilling out and did just that! Julian and Cheryl were fantastic hosts, the ambience is totally relaxed, the accommodation... More

Thank you so much to Julian, Cheryl & staff at Amber Sands - this small resort, with the BEST food on Koh Chang, is not only relaxing and idyllic but delivers personal attention, and a homely atmosphere! All our needs were seen to, whether standard or not, and Julian and Cheryl were just so accomodating! The kids loved it and... More

Thank you AnneBurrell for your kind comments. It is very reassuring to hear from yet another source that our restaurant food is the best on Koh Chang. Thank you! We have a number of regular customers who come to our restaurant from two nearby property developments where they own houses, and they too seem to enjoy the food, ambience and... More

Dont look any farther for a place to stay on Ko Chang. If peace, serenity and charm is what you are looking for...GO!!! The 7 thathed huts that surround the pool all over look the pool and sea. But my favorite place to sit, and it was hard to select one...was a thatched raised platform over the water. So when... More

My husband and I with our 8 year old daughter had a lovely 2 week stay. The downstairs beach hut was wonderful and enough room for all three of us. The food was yummy and the pool and the sea were lovely. We took sea shoes as the sea is a bit rocky but fine for kids to play in... More

I did not read reviews on Tripadvisor before choosing the Amber Sand Resort. I made my choice based on a lunch I had here in February 2011. But I did read the reviews during my stay there. Some of the (very few) negative reviewers complain that the Amber Sand Resort is on the wrong side of the island. True! If... More
