This is my first review on this site after years of reading others. I'm writing because of the superior quality of Koh Chang Paradise Resort. We stayed only two nights (big mistake) on the 10-11th of January 2012 in one of the family pool villas with my wife, my sister and her husband. I am a long-time road warrior with numerous large global companies so I have a good basis for my review.
The quality of the accommodations were the best I've seen in a resort. Teak furniture, wide-plank oak flooring, huge flat screen TV, very comfy king bed, jacuzzi bath tub, and eight-foot monsoon shower head provide 5-star luxury. The private pool and jacuzzi in-between the opposing guest suites creates a private environment similar to other resort accommodations but at half the price.
The staff were typical for Thailand; friendly, helpful, eager to please, willing to do anything to make sure our stay was impeccable.
The breakfast was very good with Thai/American/European selections. Food at dinner was very good, and the prices were very low; dinner with wine, multiple drinks, and dessert was $135 for four.
If your plans include a beach resort in southeast Asia, I'd look into this property. Fly from BKK to Trat and take a taxi to the ferry or look into having the resort pick you up at the airport.
