Last stayed in this hotel 5 years ago and sadly has gone somewhat downhill since then. Beware the extra 17% added to hotel bills-government tax and service charges. The service has slipped-staff not as friendly and helpful as before. The beach in front of the hotel is littered with plastic bags, bottles etc. Over-development is definitely taking its toll on... more

This hotel is wonderful! We stayed here for 12 days and can honestly say I was really gutted when leaving. The staff are fantastic ... always smiling and so attentive. The breakfast buffet is great and the meals in the restaurant excellant! We ate there a few times and were never disappointed. The italian next door is pretty good too!... more

We had our honeymoon here in the first two weeks of April 2008. It was fantastic. They set up the honeymoon suite with petals on the bed and even made us a honeymoon cake! The staff were all really friendly and the hotel immaculately clean. Definately on the best & cleanest bit of Chaweng beach, great for families. We ate... more

We've just come back from a 2 week holiday at the Chaba Cabana and had a fab time. The staff were all friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Unlike previous reviewers, we had no problems with the pool staff and found them all very friendly and helpful. A smile goes a long way and if you were nice and... more

My wife, daughter and I stayed at Chaba in mid to late February and was our first visit to Thailand. We found all the staff from reception, pool bar, cleaning and resteraunt to be always helpful, smiling and attentive. Really found by observation that those guests that treated the staff with disdain were not afforded the level of service that... more

A wonderful position on the cleanest part of the beach, but still close enough to walk to the busy centre and shopping. We found all the staff very friendly and helpful, especially the restaurant manager who helped us organise a 50th birthday for a friend travelling with us. He did a fantastic job, even down to a personal chef !!!... more

We stayed at the Chaba for 9 nights in February 2008, this was the beach part of our holiday which started in Hong Kong and finished in Singapore. The hotel is ideally situated at the north end of Chaewang beach, nice and quiet during the day and night but only a short distance from the madness of Chaewang. We strolled... more

We have just returned from a holiday at Chaba Cabana. A large group of us stayed there as we were going to a wedding at one of the neighbouring hotels. The hotel itself is not particularly glamourous but very clean and comfortable. My only real criticism is a lack of places to store clothes as the wardrobes are quite small... more
