We ended up here for one night after arriving on Koh Chang a day early and finding our chosen hotel full. They recommended the nearby SSP Bungalow so, given the time of day, we took up the offer.
For a double room & a twin room we were quoted 1500 Baht which seemed a lot so we decided to haggle with the resort seeming extremely empty. It took a good ten minutes for the staff to admit that there was a 300 baht deposit on each room that we could claim back the next day & another ten minutes the next day & the intervention of another guest to get them to admit to this & refund the money.
The rooms themselves are extremely basic with bed linen actually just being a large towel! Underneath one of the beds was a pizza box filled with what looked like rat poison - given the two inch gap at the foot of the main door I imagine this is a bit of a necessity. The flooring & bathroom appear to be varnished over concrete which leaves a very sticky surface. Overnight howling dogs, a common feature in SE Asia, contribute to a poor sleep.
The bungalows themselves appear to still be under construction at the back so expect noise during the day. You're also at least a ten minute walk from the beach and the nearby bars are all pretty sleazy 'mini-Pattaya'...We ended up here for one night after arriving on Koh Chang a day early and finding our chosen hotel full.

It may get better here once they've finished construction but until then I'd stay well clear unless you have no other options.More
