The hotel design is very nice with high ceiling lobby, the big swimming pool and the small Sala ( big bed with roof ) by the pool and the bar. All the staffs are very nice, helpful and friendly.The rooms are very big with 2 comfortable bed rooms, each with TV and toilet. The living room is perfect for long... More

Just returned from an amazing trip in Thailand and staying 4 nights at The Chava Resort. It was a highlight of our trip. The 2 bedroom apartment was absolutely amazing. The staff were wonderful and friendly. We had our two daughters with us who are 18 and 16 and they loved it there. Surin beach is definitely the place to... More

Smart hotel close to Surin beach. Very stylish lobby and pool, rooms were huge and comfortable although uninspiringly neutral in design (2 bed apartment, very functional and comfortable but lacked character). Pool was very nice, breakfasts good but cocktails less so. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful, made the stay very pleasant indeed. The taxi rank outside the hotel is great... More

This a 8 months late but can't get our stays in 2009 and 2011 out of my head. The resort is classy, peaceful and all the staff have a "can do" attitude. Room service super, breakfast a lovely start to the day, apartments everything and more you could want (except washing machine) and location ideal for beach and beachside restaurants.... More

Just got back from 5 nights at the Chava. Our 2 bedroom suite was huge and very nice, and the service was always friendly and excellent. The breakfasts (furnished) were very good. Although Surin Beach was nice, it was very, very crowded, and not the quiet beach we expected. If we went back, I would try to get a suite... More

We are staying at this hotel which provides excellent service and is very strategic as it is located very near to the Surin beach (next to Marriott Courtyard and Twin Palm). Interestingly, we passed by the hotel many times historically without realizing that it is a place worth staying! We have a two bedroom suite which is very spacious and... More

The best holiday in my life.... great resort, great location, wonderful staff and superbly relaxing. Next time we will stay longer. The rooms are enormous, more like a home than a hotel and the amenities superb. Well done Chava, we'll be back! More

My daughter and I stayed at the Chava in October for 5 nights. The apartment was the nicest I have ever stayed in. The staff were just beautiful and couldn't do enough for us, even providing a birthday cake for my daughter. Larry welcomed us and gave us some advice on what to see and what to skip. It was... More

Staying at the Shava Resort is an amazing experience. It's a rare combination of outstanding facilities and excellent service. This apartment resort easily competes with the best hotel in Asia. Facilities: The very large and luxurious apartments are well located, scattered around the swimming pool. We can see that lots of details (water, fruit, tea/coffee, amenities, etc…) are present in...
