SYLVAN Hotel in Chang Island

This resort is incredibly quiet, perfect for a vacation. It has a swimming pool, water slides, and you can even go kayaking. There are lots of little monkeys that wait by the door for food, they're super cute. I'll definitely come back to stay here again. The beach is also great.

Absolutely loved it! It's so beautiful and worth every penny. Everyone was very satisfied! The breakfast was rich and delicious, and both the breakfast restaurant and the sunset restaurant were fantastic. We'll definitely stay here again in the future. The two pools were perfect for the kids to explore.

Fantastic! The villa is spacious and incredibly quiet, offering maximum privacy with breathtaking full ocean views from the best location. My only regret is that the private pool water was too cold to swim in, but everything else was perfect!

This hotel truly exceeded my expectations. It's built right on the beach while nestled against a mountain, and there's even a funicular that runs through the property. The beach is very clean, and the shallow water is perfect for swimming. In the evenings, you can rent kayaks to explore the charm of the island. The room's amenities were just okay. If you're a light sleeper, I'd recommend staying in a room closer to the beach rather than the basic room types, as it can get noisy. However, the hornbills at the hotel are absolutely iconic – it feels like you're staying in a national park!

Amazing Hotel 5☆☆☆☆☆. 7 nights
2 complaints,
Entertainment you have to pay for a front Table to watch or listen to Entertainment at the restaurant. Not cheap! 😬
Now to the serous stuff.
Had to report unacceptable behaviour from the cleaner.
Something was going on with the safe, we are 100% sure 1000 bk was removed from a purse. Complained to reception supervisor and money returned. Ill leave this problem here. Please pay attention Beware!
Thank you for a great stay! Happy days.

The hotel is old, like really old, it was built in 1989 and it's very visible. The bedsheets, towels are so old and dirty like 2 star motel.

Deluxe family room looks like rooms in 1989 also. Not modern at all. We upgraded to villa (had to pay a lot for this) and it's good, a bit old but much better, with beach view and private territory.

The territory of hotel is really beautiful and big, it's like a park and beach is great. You can also take cayak to get to the small island nearby. The birds (hornbills) that live at the hotel are really beautiful and worth seeing!

Everything closes really early - even game room - it's just a room with board games and we wanted to play there and the staff told us that they were closing at 7.30 p.m! Why not open this room until 10 at least ?

No evening activities at all. Everything gets quiet and dead at 7 p.m. There is beach cinema announcement at reception on Sundays, but when we arrived on Sunday, the staff told us that there will be no movies ?


Otel ochen staryy, prosto drevniy, postelnoe bele i polotentsa v uzhasnom sostoyanii. Semeynyy nomer na gore - eto prosto uzhas. Detskiy basseyn na gore ushatannyy.

Edinstvennoe dostoynoe v etom otele - villy s vidom na more. V nih normalnaya mebel, polotentsa i osoboe menyu na zavtrakah.

Prekrasnaya territoriya i plyazh. Ptitsy-nosorogi - eto vostorg.

Obezyany nas ne bespokoili - no my zhili na ville ryadom s morem. Dumayu, v lesnyh nomerah ih polno..

V 7 chasov vechera v otele vse zakryvaetsya, polnaya tishina. Nikakih razvlecheniy.

Plyazh prekrasnyy, nadeyus, chto otel zaymetsya renovatsiey nomerov, privedeniem ih v sovremennyy stil.

Absolutely beautiful hotel with amazing views, very peaceful and quiet, despite lots of families with children. Resort is huge which feels like a beautiful jungle. Very easy to get around with staff on tuk tuks. Regarding the service, most beautiful people, always smiling! Beach at the hotel also very peaceful. Spa is next level, had best massage in my life!
Would definitely recommend this hotel!

The villa was fabulous! Feels like you're in the middle of the jungle, but still have your privacy. Full beach view and amazing overall vibe.

It's the best resort to stay in Koh Chang! In comparison of two other resorts. There was a great experience: the breakfast, the swimming pool, the beach, the room. A cake and towel elephants on a birthday)) Highly recommended

Staying at this hotel was a great experience. 
The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Since it was our first visit to Koh Chang, they offered excellent suggestions for sightseeing, dining, and told us about the pop-up night market at the temple. They also helped us in organizing a half-day itinerary around the east side of the island.
The room was spacious and clean, and conveniently connected to the pool and beach. While some insects and mosquitoes were present, they weren't a major issue.
The breakfast buffet offered a lot of food choices and a slight different menu every day, with stunning views from the restaurant at the top of the hill. 
The hotel has its own private beach, which offered a lovely spot to watch the sunset. We rented a kayak for 200 baht per hour and paddled to the small island across from the hotel, where we discovered even clearer water and white sand.
The hotel is a bit far from the main city street and requires a taxi to access 7-11 and other restaurants, but transportation can be easily arranged with the hotel.
