Rooms clean and very plesent,pool a bonus, the only negative comment would be that the breakfast was ok but could have been better. I would book in to this hotel again.
mark walder 2008-04-16 until 2008-04-20	Banpu Koh Chang Hotel, White Sand Beach This is a very friendly resort and I will certainly stay there again. However the resort does need some serious refurbishment in order to make it reasonably comfortable. I stayed in a standard room which felt very stuffy. The air con unit was rather weak and took quite some time to bring the room to a reasonable level of coolness. One of the twin beds sloped from right to left and I felt I was in imminent danger of rolling onto the floor. The bamboo deck chairs on the balcony were extremely uncomfortable and really should be replaced. Voices talking and the sound of the tv from the next room could clearly be heard in mine, as could the traffic noise from the main road. The view from the balcony was very disappointing - no sea view as claimed in the hotel s brochure, merely a roof and tree leaves. On the plus side the staff cleaned the room efeciently and the bathroom was stocked with a lovely lemon grass scented shower gel. In the restaurant the staff were lovely, but rather shy as only the Captain was confident at speaking English. Her name is Poom and she is excellent, if overworked, poor girl. However the waiters do need training as to when to clear tables and also how to make sure that the diners have everything they need such as condiments. Perhaps the worst aspect of the hotel was the state of the small swimming pool. Despite the best efforts of the pool attendant, the water looked green, cloudy and greasy on the surface. My eyes stang as I used it and went very red afterwards, suggesting an overuse of chlorine. Perhaps the best solution would be for the hotel to change to a salt water system. All this said, I liked the smallness and general quietness of the resort and the very friendly staff. I will try to stay in the more expensive bungalows on my next visit and see if this overcomes some of the problems I have mentioned above. My best memories of the hotel are the view of the sea from the sun beds and trying to chat in Thai with the charming restaurant staff.	Excellent - no problems whatsoever.
