I spent four days at Sala Samui Chaweng with my wife and we enjoyed every single bit of time there.
New and very well maintained facilities, nice location, beautiful rooms, awesome breakfast, high level restaurant and most of all amazing staff.
The resort is located right on the beach, on the northern side of Chaweng beach but not quite in the lagoon, so a proper strip of fine white sand is always available during high tide. Sea water is not as deep as in the southern part of Chaweng and swimming gets a little tough during very low tide, but we reckon the beach spot is still among the best ones in Chaweng.
The resort matches any of the 5-star standards you may expect and even though there are minor opportunities for improvement (as any other place in the world), the only thing you can do wrong at Sala Samui Chaweng is complaining. In fact every staff member demonstrates a genuine welcoming, friendly, polite and professional attitude that you can only feel grateful at all times.
We loved the way we were treated by all of them but Eye, Waii, Nam, Jui, Nice and Diew definitely outdid themselves to make our stay very special.
