Chivaree Hotel and Resort

If you want a Holiday Inn experience, this hotel may not work! If you want a traditional Thailand experience, this is the best place. The rooms are air-conditioned, beds are made every day, pillows are great, washroom and shower are outside but privately enclosed. It's very important to have shaded areas to recline and enjoy the ocean view. Many hotels lack shade, but Chivaree is great. The pool is ocean front, the beach is beyond excellent. Restaurant has the best cook on Chao Lao. Breakfasts are excellent but don't expect European sausages! Staff are kind and very accommodating. I will only stay at Chivaree and return yearly, sometimes for a month or more.

We are the couple in the holiday frist time in this hotel booking dCheck in without service mind from front manager not smile not thing can not pay credit card . Over charge motorbike for rent 400 thb. Per time (is not for 24 hours and bring back) rent in the morning have to bring back 16.00 pm. ( they did not inform us any more before rentals) Room was clean but toilet and shower is open air alot of mosquitoes in the room and toilet. Food was very good but very poor breakfast .

My fourth visit to Chivaree. Staying a month this time. It's not a Hyatt but better in most ways! Walked a few miles down the beach this morning, saw four locals and two tourists, that's all. Peace on Earth, literally. Merry Christmas
