The Chateau Hill Resort, Trang, Koh Ngai
Oh my. This hotel has a lote of things going for it and a lot of things not going for it. The location on the far north point of the Koh Hai beach is a little bit secluded and the beach in front of the resort isn t really swimmable. Go 5 min south and take a swim in front of the Thapwarin or Coco resorts.
The hotel was almost empty during our stay. Strang considering that most other hotels on the island were almost full. The staff s performance varied greatly. At the bottom level was Housekeeping, a bunch of incompetent and sloppy Thai dudes that was completey impossible to get a smile or hello out of. At the top was the pool bar staff that was friendly, helpful and easy going even though their english skills lacked some. That goes for everyone in the hotel. The woman in charge made a somewhat desperate impression, you would get a very displeased face when she saw that we were not gonna have dinner at the hotel restaurant. We were being watched in that way. Food was ok, not more. The best food on the beach is at Coco Cottage, no question about it. The best thing about The CHateau Hill is the pool. The best view in Thailand from the very top of the hill. The resort is situated on a very steep hill. Consider this closely if you re travelling with small children. You will be exhausted. We were. Remember to require the little electric car for going up hill. Room standard is ok. We stayed in the top deluxe room. Fantastic view again, large balcony. We stayed three nights at Coco Cottage after, which is more expensive and lower room standards, but with the genuine Thai ambience that everyone is looking for. But the Chateau Hill is not all bad though, the pool area and pool bar alone makes it worth while.
Very helpful as always.

Very nice.
We visited the hotel at the end of February where not many guests stayed at the Chateau Hill.
The restaurant was good. However the menu was more like a cafeteria choice - you could get any source to any combination of seafood, pork and chicken. Rather overwhelming to create your own dish. I do prefer that the chef decides some good combinations and present them as his professional creation.
The rooms are excellent. Good air condition and facilities and good views. We stayed near the top.
The coral reef is 250 meters from the shore. It is a long way to swim and at low tide the going is not easy. However, if you take the swim to the coral reef there is a lot to see.
Many kinds of corals, and colourful fish. The interesting part of the coral reef is from surface and 6 meters down. The bottom at high tide is approx. at 10 meters. The visibility was 10 meters.
There is not much to do on the island other than look at the beautiful scenery, swim, dive and walk on the beach an visit other restaurants along the shore. There are no tracks up in the hills.
I enjoyed the stay and the excellent and kind service.
Excellent - You are doing a fine job.
