Camp Chang Hinlad

Stayed at Weekender Resort 12/25-12/31/2023 after last minute booking to meet friends. Glad we did. The overall stay was pleasant except 2 things 1)Stingy on toilet papers. We get back from excursion late into the night and housecleaning rarely replenish toilet papers. We ended up buying a 4pc pack at 7/11 for backup 2)The attendant at breakfast buffet was rude to my friend who happened to pass by jogging on the beach, stopped by and chatted, had 3 pieces of fruits and the lady started raising her voice. Instead of yelling, I would have been happy to pay for additional plate. My friend left after being yelled at. With the money we paid for, having extra pieces of fruits being eaten should be paid for plenty. Other than that, the place is clean. It did smelled like mildew when we first checked in because it wasn't AC and the whole place was probably closed up in the heat & humidity for some time. I have allergy to mildew and dust mites and it took me a couple of days to get over it, thank God.

Loved the layout of the property. Our villa(with plunge pool) was very close to the main pool and we never had any trouble getting a sunbed. Another pool was located right on the beach near the bar/restaurant area-it was perfect. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful especially Tim, she gave us directions, suggested places to eat and really looked after us. There wasn’t anything to dislike and we shall recommend it to others.

Lovely resort with most staff being very polite and helpful. Only negative was that the service can often be very slow around the pool bar and some pool bar staff were lacking the welcoming Thailand smile. Otherwise, a very enjoyable stay.
