Best beach in Chaweng

Twelve nights and days recently spent at Kings Garden Resort, missing the torrential floods, so I can report on a truly happy vacation! Location is one major factor making this resort a wonderful choice. Walking the kms of Chaweng Beach, one will not find a better position on the sandy shoreline. Most hotels insist on a swimming pool, intruding almost to the sea, leaving almost no sand on which to lounge. KGR has a large, sandy beach, reaching towards the sea from well-tended lawns and flower gardens, daily being pampered and developed by the landscaping staff. Large, leafy tress afford shade when the sun becomes too relentless, and snacks and drinks can be ordered from the attentive resort servers. The bungalows/rooms are brightly immaculate, cleaning staff replacing linen and towels daily; showers and air con work proficiently; the huge king size bed is super-comfortable and one sleeps peacefully. Only the few units closer to the beach road, with its blaring vans continually inviting visitors to kick-boxing events and band music from the pub across the road, might suffer more noisy interference. The breakfasts spread is excellent. Freshly-cut fruit; juices, which can be individually pressed; yoghurts, salads, Thai cooked dishes, eggs to order, bacon, sausages, cold meat cuts, a variety of freshly baked breads, do-it-yourself toasted sandwiches, a range of teas, and coffee, croissants and waffles, all contribute to the variety available, and we didn’t tire over the permutations over our stay. A short walk from the centre of Chaweng, with a boundless choice of places to eat, KGR is my first choice, especially as it is very competitively priced, with a staff always happy to accommodate the farangs’ needs! Will definitely return.
