Chivatara Resort & Spa Bang Tao Beach

+ Amazing

+ From the pictures we expected the hotel to be much bigger and found it more a simple 3-star. The rooms are clean, staff is friendly and helpful. The pool could be renovated but was maintained and clean. Gym is a little room with 4 machines and not many weights. Breakfast is simple but ok. It’s a 5-8 min walk to the beach and left and right of the hotel you find bars and some restaurants. Overall we had a good stay in this hotel for a couple of days.

+ Jag och sonen bodde här under en vecka och vi var så otroligt nöjda! Trevlig och serviceminded personal, bra priser i restaurangen, bra städning och hjälp med det man behövde. Fint poolområde och otroligt nära Bang Tao beach, ca 5min promenad. Kommer definitivt återkomma om det blir av. Enda nackdelen var att man inte visste hur ofta poolen rengjordes då man kunde bada efter kl 20, trots att det stod att den stängde då. Såg aldrig till någon som rengjorde.

+ Despite advertising a shuttle from airport on the website, hotel staff were either unable or unwilling to arrange and failed to respond to several calls/email requests. Pleasant enough staff despite that.

+ This mid range hotel gives you all you need and was good value with a decent size room, balcony overlooking a lovely pool (with a pool bar!) Amd close to the beach, just a few minutes away. Brekky was ok with lots to choose from and the evening food was delicious. The staff are always willing to help and were really nice and easy gong. Traffic in and out of Bang Tao is difficult and taxi / tuc tucs charge extra for it. If your looking for 4* this was good value for money.

+ Great stay at Chivatara resort with family of 4 (two young kids). Super friendly staff, loved children :) Room was spacious, ground floor stay good with young children. Restaurant was located in the middle of the hotel, under a canopy. Good breakfast, egg-station included. Hotel has 3 children's pools, but depth was 60cm, so not the most suited for babies. (Perfect for a bit older kids) Otherwise good pool area, even very deep pool in the middle. Small kids play area outside in the garden, nice kids play room inside as well (but air con was temporarily broken) with various toys. Small gym as well, with good air con. Located on a busy street with shops, restaurants and bars. Bangtao area quite busy traffic with taxis (when going in and out of the area), easy access - but not the calmest area (if that is what you are looking for). Local night market quite close by. Short walk to the beach - great beach places with many restaurants offering beach chairs and children's toys and ev
