The Mangrove Hideaway Koh Chang

Wir waren zwei Nächte im Mangrove Hideaway.
Die Unterkunft ist liebevoll hergerichtet und die Zimmer und das Badezimmer schön. Leider gab es weder Frühstück noch ein Restaurant oder eine Bar in der Unterkunft, obwohl es so in der Beschreibung stand. Es gab bis auf einen winzigen Tisch mit zwei Stühlen keinerlei Sitzmöglichkeiten auf der Gemeinschaftsterrasse. Dementsprechend konnte man sich eigentlich nur im Zimmer aufhalten. Wir haben dann in einem netten Guesthouse in der Nähe gefrühstückt und wurden dort herzlichst empfangen.Außerdem war fast nie jemand vom Personal greifbar, so dass man sich ziemlich alleine gelassen vorkam.
Schade, die Unterkunft ist eigentlich schön, nur hatten wir das Gefühl, dass die Betreiber keine Lust auf Gäste hatten.

The place ls amaizing , the staff super Nice , and very quiet to relax yourself , but be aware that the closer beach is 30 min driving motorbike, and to reach the hotel from pier taxi Will charge You like 800 / 1000 bat . Staff was so Nice that they reserved a local taxi for our way back , and Even cheaper 600.
If You Wanna relax its perfect but You need to know how to ride a bike .

Very nice place in a less touristic area. The room was excellent, everything you need and it was clean. There is a beautiful view to the see from the deck. Only slightly negative thing is there aren’t many restaurants in the area, but the few you find are very nice. Closest ATM is about 3 kilometers away. Otherwise very nice and calm area.

Les commentaires précédents n’ont plus lieu d’être.L’hotel à été racheté, de surcroît avions réservé deux nuits ( surbook) donc avons été replacés dans un autre établissement que je conseille d’ailleurs SALAKPHET RESSORT

I like the atmosphere, relaxing and beautiful areas..Tiem was so nice and helpful man..
- long to restaurang

I were there just a night, I got a motorbike lift from the staff to visit the fair at the nearby temple (Wat Salakpet). The place is so lovely, I enjoy my stay very much. A bike is free and the staff is really helpful in setting it up ready. Biking through coconut orchard and fishing village, buying dry fishes back home...I really enjoy that morning.

This is a really nice place to stay if you have the money, absolutely gorgeous terass where you can enjoy the view of the bay as you eat your breakfast. Really nice lounge area upstairs and overall a very relaxing and quiet vibe. There's also a shop across the street. Breakfast is worth the price.

Salakphet is a quiet place and basically everything closes at 9PM. Use the free kayaks offered and see the Mangroves up close and paddle in between the houses to see the real local lifestyle (I also recommend walking around the village onto the different piers). For a more western vibe head to the Fishermen's Hut restaurant that's run by a Swedish guy, good food and excellent boat trips from there.

Things to see close by: Boat trips(Talk to the Swedish guy at Fishermen's Hut), Long Beach, Mangrove Walkaway, the Temple, Kayaking and the village itself.

Die Freundlichkeit und die Hilfsbereitschaft ist in dieser Unterkunft- selbst für thailändische Verhältnisse- herausragend exzellent und kaum zu übertreffen.

If you enjoy a little bit of quiet during your travels, this is a good place for you. The staff was very friendly and could accomodate requests for activities (e.g. have kayaks for free and scooters for rent). The food options in the area are not plenty, but dinner and breakfast (banana cakes!) have a variety of good options.

If you book activities with this hotel, I would advise to doublecheck if an English speaking guide is available as we had a little bit of trouble with that. Nonetheless, we really enjoyed our stay.

Utrolig dejligt sted. Meget afslappende og roligt. Hyggelig lille fiskerlandby.

We were here with my spouse. Mangrove Hideway was really good place to take relax. Breakfast was good and the staff was friendly. If you want very much privaty maybe this is not good place for you. Otherwise; highly recommended Mangrove Hideway.

We didn't stay here, but booked a private snorkelling tour for our family of 5. We were picked up/dropped off from our hotel (Amber Sands), which was ~ 20 minutes away. We left at ~ 9am and returned aroun 3;30pm and had 5 stops on the surrounding islands, including lunch on an empty beach that felt like scene from Castaway. The crew were great. They always seemed to find the empty beaches, brought bread for the kids to feed the fish and were great help with the kids. Considering the price was not significantly more than 5 tickets on a larger boat, I highly recommend considering this option for any groups of 4 - 8.

Der erste Eindruck ist ganz schön. Man kann allerdings wenig machen. Der Grund weshalb wir nicht nocheinmal dort hingehen würden , waren die Kakerlaken, die wir 2 Mal in unserem Bett hatten. Noch bedauerlicher war, dass die Zimmer keinen Safe haben. Es gibt welche an der Rezeption, wo wir einen genommen haben. Eine Stunde vor Abreise mussten wir dann feststellen, dass viel Geld, welches in diese Safe war, fehlt.... Uns wurde vorgeschlagen die Polizei zu rufen. Da wir aber zu unserem Flug mussten haben wir das abgelehnt. Ersetzt wurde nichts !!!

My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights to explore the Eastern side of Ko Chang and we fell in love with the Mangrove Hideaway. It is a peaceful haven where you can really appreciate the nature that surrounds it. With views of the mountains and mangroves and surrounding fishing village, it is a very unique place to stay. The attic zone upstairs is awesome and a great place to unwind and read quietly at the end of the day. It has hammocks, cushions, cosy lounging areas (and a cute cat). We stayed in the duplex room which offered a downstairs and an upstairs area and we really loved that bit of extra room. The whole place is super clean and so nicely decorated. The staff are warm and friendly and helped with recommending things to do. We had our own scooter which I think you need in this quieter part of the island and it allowed us to travel to and from the West coast ourselves (around 45 mins to an hour) and to venture to Long Beach (beautiful, go!). We ate at the restaurant twice and the food was lovely and home cooked. They had a mixture of Thai and Western dishes reasonably priced. The home made coconut ice cream is a winner! There aren't a whole lot of eateries nearby so we were very happy to eat here. The staff also went out of their way to return some items that we accidentally left in our room which was really kind of them. If you are looking for a place to stay to see the beauty of the East coast then 100% stay here!

Very nice, well maintained place. Lots of nice details. Service was top class and also the food very good.
The location is in a local village, not made for beach vacation. But we knew that and that’s what we were seeking anyway.
On the negative: the room was decorated very nicely, but only two small windows looking at the walkway and the wall of the next building. Also internet was down for at least 2 days, but apparently in the whole village, so not just a hotel problem.
What we considered a pity is that it seemed everybody wanted to be for themselves. So seeking privacy, quietness and perfect service, this is your place.

un endroit magique au milieu du village des pêcheurs , repos , détente , calme , avec très peu de touristes , un accueil très agréable , il faut louer un scooter pour visiter le coin , nous ne sommes resté que 3 nuits , elles resteront inoubliable ! nous avons pris la chambre standard qui est très bien .....

This has to be one of the most ideal locations we have visited. Quiet and relaxing, located on the southern end of the island away from the more commercial touristy areas. Located in fishing village on the coast. Staff extremely helpful will arrange taxis and shuttles to get around island. Also arranged trips to elephants, boat trip for swimming and to local restaurants. Authentic Thia food served here which was excellent. Hotel arranged return private taxi from Bangkok for us which was a 5hr road trip. All rooms have a/c and are very comfortable. We would have no hesitation in booking this hotel again.

Excellent quiet hotel ideal for a quiet stay in a lovely fishing village with excellent day trips available to remote beaches and islands

This place is stunning both the room and the surrounding. Lots of cute natural stuffs. Breakfast is homemade and organic. You will feel calm and relax to stay here. But they also have kayak, bicycle and activities to do so. On the attic have chilling area for your massage, chilling or reading. Try the jacuzzi on the roof! Worth for money in my opinion.

We stayed there for almost two weeks Dec/Jan and found it pretty nice and cozy, since it is really far away from the crowds on the West side, but we were very surprised to learn, that the french management is no longer in place, Luc and Olivier left the country. So don´t expect the rich support they offered. Since there is not much to see and to do (beaches are far away and not so easy to access) you better plan for 3-4 days and move on to Bang Bao f.e. The new management is not very customer experienced and more interested in accounting, but Nat the wonderful service allrounder tries to compensate, he is really lovely! The good news is: Luc and Olivier will return and open a new place in early summer!
