Ko Chang, Trat Province hotel rooms at the Independent

"Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely location with superb rooms. Room view was obscured by a tree but you can’t win them all. Food was great though resort prices are double you will pay for the same thing a short taxi ride away. Overall though it was nice relaxing stay. "

"The resort overall was excellent. Rooms were big ,but a lttle basic. Our only gripe-checking in was slow ."

"Excellent beach location and staff"

"Great room (private pool), quiet location. Too expensive bar and food at the hotel, but everything else was great"

"Amazing stay!! Highly recommend, the rooms were amazing and spotless and super comfortable with huge beds, the staff were always very polite and attentive. Everything was extremely clean. Breakfast was lovely in the morning and the bar/ restaurant had more choice cuisine than you could ever need! "

"Ive stayed here twice before & always been welcomed by the polite & friendly staff, our room was extremely clean & was always asked if it needed cleaning every morning excellent buffet breakfast & fresh eggs cooked to order. Already booked for next year. Special thank you to the lovely cleaners of our room 101 you're a credit to the hotel see you next year 😊😊"

"Firstly readers should note that the Resort has recently had a change of ownership, so past comments should be read with caution. The resort (like the whole island) was very quiet but Value For Money. However it should be Noted that there is limited Car Parking and the road to it is narrow with sharp bends. But is situated in an ideal area near shops, Bars, massage parlours and Restaurants (Buffalo Bills is Highly Recommended). Two negatives (which I’m sure in time will be rectified) are the Rooms are serviced every other day, but Bottled water and Coffee are delivered daily, meaning soiled toilet paper, food waste etc remain in the bin for two days. Also there are no advertised operating times for the Restaurant and Bar, meaning that when we returned at 21:00 for a nightcap the Bar had closed because it was quiet. I cannot blame them for closing, but there was no advanced warning this may happen. All said and done it was a very pleasant stay and would happily return as we were treated very well."

"Great price and on the beach"

"Fantastic hotel, restaurant staff were unbelievably friendly and helpful, especially Lin and her team. This is our fourth time here and we will be back next year for another 2 weeks chilling out."
