Chantaramas was a gift from the heavens! After vacating our previously-reserved hotel because it turned out to be a nightmare, we were desperate to find something suitable nearby. Luckily, we happened upon Chantaramas Resort and our vacation was saved. From the moment you walk up, the entire site is designed to be as pleasing as possible, with super friendly staff there to reinforce the loveliness. Our room was spacious, clean, and elegant. The bathrooms are luxuriously giant - a separate toilet, shower, and giant soaking tub (large enough for 2!). The amenities at the hotel simply can't be outdone - a gorgeous infinity pool with a swim-up bar, multiple areas and surfaces to lay out on, a delicious restaurant with extremely fair prices, a warm peaceful beach cove perfect for wading around in. The front desk staff was always available to call us a ride, give us recommendations, make change, or answer any of our questions.
There isn't much within walking distance, but taxis are plentiful and highly affordable to the nearby attractions. The air conditioner in the room could've been a bit more powerful, and the breakfast buffet leaves something to be desired. However, for the price, this place was an absolute unexpected gem and I'm so glad we found it. We couldn't have been happier with our time here!
