We were slightly underwhelmed when first arriving but very quickly came to love the place and even extended our stay twice. The location is stunning, the rooms were spacious with good aircon and had amazing views from the balcony. There is also a large pool. The staff and management were so helpful and friendly with great communication. The surrounding area is some of the nicest on Koh Chang with hardly any tourists but still lots of good places to eat and Aoy’s bakery next door is a must visit!

A tv would have been good for the evenings.

Beautiful accommodation with the most amazing views. Friendly staff. Our room was huge. I could live here. The sunrises are amazing. I would wake up at 5.30 and watch and listen to Koh Chang come to life.

Our second time there and we will definitely be back. We stayed in one of the new properties- which was lovely! Staff are amazing, tasty free breakfast, beautiful views and nothing is too much trouble- if you need a bike give them a days warning.

On the quieter side of the island (East side) which was amazing after staying for a few nights in the west. The property is so quiet and peaceful! The rooms were dated but clean and comfortable. The communication was amazing, any questions were answered quickly and tours / taxis / laundry were organised with ease. Easy to hire a scooter and get to amazing beaches nearby. Breakfast every morning on the floating restaurant was an amazing way to start the day. I highly recommend the 3 island tour… wow!! I would 100% come back to Island View.

Be aware that the road around the island does not go all the way around, it’s missing only a few km and this place is at the end of the road on the more remote side. All the taxis from the ferry where going the other direction for only 150baht but I had to take a taxi alone and pay 1000baht to get there. Also make sure you bring cash with you because the next atm is some km away, but if you don’t have transportation the hotel staff will take you there for a little fee.

I was underwhelmed when I first arrived, but this place managed to prove me wrong in just a few days. It’s located at the very end of the non-touristy side of the island, very secluded and remote. The rooms are basic but had everything you need. I stayed in the hillside and had a private balcony with seaview and sunrise. The pool is great and that are is actually very cozy and beautiful even though it’s been a bit neglected. The staff is super friendly and they almost felt like family for my stay which was so appreciated. The breakfast is super basic with a choice between a fruit plate or eggs+toast but it was simple and great. If you walk a bit further there is the loveliest cafe that has amazing coffee, sandwiches and cakes in a cozy atmosphere- I went there every single day and became friends with the owners, lovely people! I recommend kayaking over to the small island where there is a beautiful beach.

Breakfasts could be more varied :).

Beautiful place, great views, perfect for sunrise Lovers, extremely clean! Very nice Owners, wonderful hospitality.

There wasn't things I didn't like, but you could have couple of sunbeds at pool area and a bit more furniture in the room to make this nice place even more comfortable. :)

Island View Resort has beautiful view and you really could enjoy peaceful atmosphere there. You could borrow the kayaks from the resort and make nice trip to near by islands. Staff was lovely!!

Stayed in February 2025

i would only add small shampoo and deckchairs at pool area, maybe tiny upgrade of breakfast :)

beautiful room with amazing view, place for relaxing, personal very helpful, they rent scooter which are necessary to get somewhere and they have also kayaks for free. good thing to know, there is no beach. two restaurants nearby

Stayed in February 2025

You definitely need a scooty there and they couldnt organise one for us :( The Toilet was a bit smelly

Lovely host and crew, such a nice view from the rooms, clean. Nice breakfast spot Its still a bit under construction but the ares is cute. 2 restaurants and one great Cafe in walking distance.

The mattress is a bit hard but that is quite common in Thailand. Like most comments say it’s on the eastern side of the island so be sure to have a scooter ready to get there as transports and taxis tend to not go on that side of the island or at very high prices

Clean and quiet. The staff Is very friendly and gives plenty of tips on what to go do and see around. There is a bakery just around the corner that serves delicious sandwiches. It’s remote so you really get the feeling of being in a local place

Unforgettable experience, great place for relaxation, we were at Kai Bae many nights before coming to this place, and it was the best decision. The staffs were so friendly, everything was so comfortable throughout the stay. We took the kayak to white sand island, and it was very nice especially we got a chance to picnic there and do some snorkelling. The breakfast was good, amazing swimming pool surrounded by nature and really nice view.

Stayed in January 2025

Everybody was kind and helpful. Beautiful view to the see. We could use a kayak and a motorbike and had a very pleasant Time there. Thank you.

It is signposted at the car park but not really when you get there. It all looked locked up, but we rang and the lady running it turned up. She and the staff were really helpful once we found them. The pool is gorgeous and clean but could do with a few extra chairs by it. Bathroom amenities were limited and differed between the three rooms but the staff provided everything we asked for.

The views from the room are incredible and it's very quiet. You can't fault the cleanliness but this is no frills. Simple, comfortable and with a balcony looking over a beautiful view. There is a cafe nearby and a couple of nice restaurants so easy and relaxing for a couple of nights stay.. We enjoyed the chilling. Breakfast over the water is nice but simple fare. There are kayaks to hire which was nice too and an island to paddle to, but we never quite got round to it, The overall experience fits the price and we all enjoyed the peace and would go again for the views.

I'm not sure this is really a downside, but people should be aware. The resort is indeed peaceful and tranquil (perfect for what I wanted), but it is pretty much right at the bottom of the East side of the island and so for some it may feel a little too isolated. Transport on this side of the island is not great (almost all focused on the busy West side), and so if you do want to do any exploring you should be confident in your ability to ride a scooter (also in high season try to contact the property to arrange this before you arrive), or at least be prepared to pay a lot for a songtheaw taxi every time you want to go anywhere. Even the nearest 7-11 is probably 45 minutes walk away if you don't ride a scooter (although there are a couple of much more convenient local stores close to the resort). So enjoy the peace and quiet - but be prepared for it :)

Loved my stay here. A perfect location to get away from the crowds and just relax, surrounded by beautiful scenery in a peaceful, traditional Thai fishing village, with the property being right on the water with great views of the surrounding bay. Staff were friendly, smiling and very helpful, dealing quickly with any questions and helping out with renting a scooter before I arrived; they also recommended and arranged a small boat/snorkeling trip to some of the nearby islands which I really enjoyed. There are not many restaurants in the local village, but those that are there have a good selection of tasty food. There is also an excellent cafe/bakery a 1 minute walk away. My room (garden view) was fairly basic, but clean and comfortable with a large balcony offering a great view of the sea and islands opposite.

Make sure you arrange a scooter before you arrive. You need it at this side of the island. We did get a scooter, but it was hard to get one. Be prepared beforehand. Not really a negative for the accommodation, but a tip for anybody staying here.

The location, the personnel and sleeping on the water. It’s a great location to explore this side of the island. It’s probably the best part of the island if you like quietness. Not much people around here. The personnel is very nice and friendly!

Stayed in January 2025

The location is perfect for relaxing and enjoying our vacation. Meet and exceeds the expectations from the booking, even better than the pictures. The staffs were very welcoming and helpful with any inquiry. Beautiful sunrise from the balcony, the room has just been recently renovated so we were very happy.

At first my husband had a hard time with the mattress, but the resort set us a topper on the mattress and it was heaven sent.

Such a beautiful place with stunning views from the room. This place truly is paradise. We reserved the room just for a night but ending up staying a week. Day trip to other islands are a must. Staff are so friendly, Kanya was always so helpful to us, she's the sweetest staff we've met so far. The resort gave us an upgrade to a really nice room. It's next to the swimming pool, with stunning views. Definitely won't be our last time to this place.

Nothing at all! We had an amazing time there.

The experience at Island View Resort was beyond our expectations. It's peaceful there, it is what an island should be really about. The staffs are amazing, they may not speak English fluently, but they try their very best to communicate with you. The swimming pool has the best view from the top. You may need to drive quite a distance to go there, but trust us, it's worth it! The breakfast is quite optional as well comparing to the price of the room. We really enjoyed it there, especially paddling with the Kayak to an island nearby. The balcony is huge, amazing view from above and beautiful sunrise as well. Will definitely go back there! 10 out of 10!
