Independent in Koh Chang Tai from NZ$39

"What a great place to be - lots of nature, great staff and excellent food, especially the breakfast buffet. "

"Shantaa Resort was very peaceful and serene. Bedrooms and bathrooms were great. Restaurant served amazing dinner and made to order breakfast buffets. Pool and beach were also great. Concierge was helpful and able to book us a driver for our 1 day island exploration. I would highly recommend Shantaa to anybody. "

"This is our fourth time. The Pool Suites are really worthwhile - well set out with large balcony and of course pool. The beach at Khlong Prou is possibly the nicest beach in Koh Chang where the hotel is. The staff are really excellent - Miss Nui, Miss Mod, and Mr Sadam and Mr Zin - english to thai might be wrong - and many other staff really nice and helpful. Can recommend the offers where you get credit of 1000 baht a day - means you can use as you wish - restaurant in hotel is excellent and 15 per cent off in low season. Food is thai style if you want that. My partner did a course in fruit carving and that was well run and fun. Gym and pools are excellent. Has transfers to town which is not far. "

"Just Amazing. Beautiful resort and beach. Good food. Lovely staff. 100% will return here. Stunning island, great snorkeling. Very comfortable clean rooms."

"Great location and lovely hotel. Close to many amenities and would definitely go back. The breakfast is also great with plenty to choose from. 5 stars!! "

"Amazing stay on stunning grounds. They have a cable car to take you from top to bottom. My only complaint is you’re not allowed to have your own water bottle in restaurants. Seems like the opposite of what places should be encouraging today!"

"I enjoyed four nights in a bungalow on the front line of Kae Bae beach. The accommodation was very comfortable and it was such a pleasure to look directly out to the beach and water from the front door. And there was a lovely porch there to sit on and enjoy the scenery. In addition, the entire staff was very friendly and helpful. The town area is just a 6-7 minute walk away, but a concierge was available to take me in a cart. Lots of dining and massage options in the town area. Overall, I had a great stay and will hope to return one day…"

"Wonderful restaurant and cute bungalows. AC worked, and the pillows were comfy. We really enjoyed our stay."

"The best breakfast. Amazing location. Great fire shows at evening "
