Das war unsere 3 Station von Thailand. Wir wollten nicht weg. Als wir abgereist sind in den Norden von ko samui,… wir kamen jeden Tag nach Chaweng zurück. Natürlich ist es Geschmacksache aber vom Strand bis hin zur Lage, stimmte hier einfach für uns persönlich alles. Wenn wir wieder nach Thailand reisen, dann zu 100% the Library. Die Villen selbst waren makellos sauber und bestens ausgestattet – es fehlte uns an nichts.. Unser Fazit: Von der Lage über die Unterkunft bis hin zur Herzlichkeit des Teams – für uns war es eine glatte 10 von 10.

Excellent hotel, in the heart of chweng beach road, but you wouldnt know it once you were inside. Stayed in a hidden pool villa, which was amazing. Restaurant/Bar very good. Small beach and two pools which were also excellent.

Calme et chic

Un oasis de calme et de bon goût dans un Chaweng de plus en plus délirant Propreté parfaite, salle de sport bien équipée, très bon service, spa de qualité. Plus cher que d’autres hôtels classés 5 étoiles, mais complètement justifié par la qualité des prestations.

Pretty red pool. Great food and drinks. The surrounding areas are a bit tired and dirty. Rooms are a clean with a fresh style. Worth a stay if you want something a little less Thai like. This is more European vibe.
