We stayed, in April, one week with our 3 kids in one superior bungalow, and what can we say… Location on the beach is amazing, (each bungalow has a seaview), and the colors in the sky during the sunset are beautiful (ok, you don’t have the direct sunset, but you will easily forget it !). The bungalows are large, clean... More

We stayed here over a Thai long-weekend, when the queue for the car ferry was 3 hours long and we expected to be sharing the beach with hoardes of holiday-makers. Fortunately, Amber Sands was a haven, on the quiet East coast of Ko Chang - you wouldn't have known that the island was crawling. We had the beach practically all... More

Amber Sand Beach is a family-owned hotel which provide guests a peaceful and quiet environment. Room is built in a cottage-style and all have a beach view. For those who need to ESCAPE from noisy environment surrounded by pub and bar, this hotel is highly recommended. Room and its built-in restroom are clean and nicely decorated. Pool,lobby and its landscape... More

I don't think words can describe enough the perfection of Amber Sands .... it took us 5 minutes there to forget more than 24 hours of travelling, from Italy to Koh Chang.. It's like arriving to your private heaven, and our kids were so happy! Everything, from the garden, to the bungalows, to the restaurant, is taken care of with... More

This review is actually difficult to write, we chose this resort because of the reports written on this site, and our every expectation was exceeded. I hate to just repeat the same wonderful (and true!) things everyone else has said. Amber Sands was comfortable, beautiful, quiet and totally perfect for a relaxing vacation. Julian and his entire family were so... More

There is many reviews for this resort and most of them seem to capture the spirit of this resort. It is quiet and somewhat secluded, ideal for families with small children or couples (like us) who want to enjoy their vacation away from the loud crowds at night and want to actively explore the island during the day on motorbike....

We spent 4 nights at Amber Sands, and it was absolutely wonderful in every way. We had 3 kids with us (age 13, 15 and 9 years old) and they loved it to. We all want to come back! It took about 20 min to shopping and a lot of restaurants. We went there for a couple of hours and... More

I stayed at Amber Sands with a couple of friends in February for one night, and it was so good that we changed our plans and came back again a couple of nights later. I really can't think of anything negative to say about it: we enjoyed every minute, from the hospitality offered by Julian and Cheryl and their staff,... More

Me and my wife together with our daughter and her family, total of 6 people stayed in Amber Sands for 9 nights in January.

Gosh, how does one respond to such a comprehensive review? Your comments should give prospective guests a very thorough idea of what they can expect at Amber Sands, and is what Tripadvisor is all about. Your family fits what marketers are now calling “3G travel”, being three generations travelling together; grandparents, children and grandchildren. Being grandparents ourselves, we were very... More

This is a promise often heard / read (the "home away from home") but after travelling a lot and experienced a variety of accommodations, from very basic guesthouses to 5star-hotels, this is definitely the one that deserves it the most. Everything was perfect, from the moment I contacted Julian to make enquiries and finally book our stay. The resort is... More

Thank you Marie-S for your kind comments. It is wonderful to be given a compliment that compares us better than many other places including 5 star hotels, thank you. We do try hard to make our guests feel at home. On our web site we talk about being the sort of place where you can just put your feet up... More
