Chan Chaeng Beach

Location is a bit walk from Chaweng beach happening areas. But this brings some well deserved quiet as well. The hotel itself is perfectly arranged - everything is in close proximity. Walking from the sea to bar area is a bit walk up the stairs but frankly not an issue. Rooms were practical and well furnished.

Bandara was everything we were looking for for our family holiday with a 13 and 9 year old. Great facilities, a pool we lived in, a kids club they both enjoyed and made them feel independent, and a fantastic location on the beach and edge of Fisherman’s Village. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I was also easily able to arrange a pick up from the airport which made arriving to the island very easy with kids. We couldn’t recommend Bandara high enough if you are looking for a family resort in the Bophut area of Koh Samui.

Excellent location. Fabulous room. Resort on the beach front. Fabulous breakfast and great food all round. Staff extremely welcoming and helpful. Only a 20 minute walk along a well lit busy road to Fisherman’s village with its local food outlets, bars and boutique shops. Lots of day trips available at very reasonable prices.
