We recently celebrated my 60th birthday in Koh Samui and booked 19 rooms at the Chaba for family and friends. While the hotel is not the best hotel in Samui, it has many good reasons why we stayed there. Rooms are very spacious and clean. The air conditioning is also very efficient. The hotel is situated on a very nice part of Chaweng Beach and has easy access to Central Festival and other attractions. The cost of staying at the hotel is very affordable in comparison to other hotels of similar quality. On the last night of our stay, we had a seafood barbecue on the beach which was great food and very reasonably priced at THB500. The pool and bar area on the beach make a stay at the Chaba a memorable experience. In summary I would thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone who was thinking of making a booking there.
