Chom By The Sea

Wonderful welcoming staff who are always on hand and help you to feel happy and comfortable. The pool was great and the hotel is as it says, by the sea. Lots of bars just up the beach. Great view of longtail boats waiting to take you to one of the islands which go frrom Ao Nam Mao pier. Fantastic value for money if you book early. We booked an additional week as we loved it so much but due to it being over the Xmas and New Year period it was double the price. Breakfast is hot or cold but only toast, eggs and fruit for us - I didn't fancy rice and cooked veg!

Nice hotel with the pool and sunbeds overlooking the beach. Room clean and comfortable, pool is small but ok (apart from a few missing tiles). Breakfast is not bad. If you're expecting 4 star luxury this isn't for you but it ticked out boxes. A few minutes walk up the beach gets you to Joy Cafe. A bar serving food and drinks literally on the beach. Live music every evening from about 7.30 until 10pm. It's so laid back and the food and service is great and not that expensive. The highlight of our stay at this hotel.

This hotel is great value for money. The rooms are spacious, the bathroom was newly renovated, quiet air conditioning and fridge in the room, the local breakfast options are good and filling, the swimming pool is a good size to do some lengths in or just cool off in. The views from the pool and restaurant area are amazing looking over the pier and the hills. The location is out of the way from Ao Nang main area. But there's some nice, cheap local restaurants nearby (check out the amazing roti place), a few supermarkets as well, and you can either hire scooters or get the local shuttle bus to the beach. The staff are super friendly and helpful and managed to answer any queries we had.

Breakfast good, different everyday, cleaning was great, pool lovely, location was lovely for us but not in the centre if that's what you desire, Joy beach and dinners locally amazing also the pier very close, tiny authentic store across the street was great and most of all Mac is great on reception- his help and friendly demeanour made our stay lovely. Bus outside for access to Ao Nang Beach very cheap, easy and often.

A very cute room. The pool has a nice view. There is not really a beach where you can sunbathe in the front, but that was ok for us. A 10 minute walk further there are places like joy beach where you can enjoy the beach. The town itself is not booming. There is no sidewalks, so don’t expect much. The accommodation is a good base to stay an make a small trip with a boat or rent a scooter and explore the area. Staff is very friendly!
