  A peaceful, relaxing stay in a beautifully run boutique retreat.

  We spent nine very enjoyable days at Watercolours in Koh Chang in February 2026. This was our first visit to Thailand, and after the hustle and bustle of Bangkok and Chiang Mai, Watercolours was a peaceful and welcome change of pace. It took us a little while to write this review, as it wasn’t easy to put into words how much we enjoyed our stay. The property has the feel of a quiet retreat, with a small, boutique charm that sets it apart from larger resorts. From the moment we arrived, Thanya’s warmth and personal touch made everything feel easy and welcoming, and her team were consistently helpful, friendly, and natural throughout our stay. Our room was spotless, thoughtfully designed, and very comfortable, ideal for a longer stay. The quiet surroundings made it easy to fully relax and sleep well each night. The food was simple and very good, and we really appreciated Thanya’s local recommendations. The riverside deck was a highlight, a calm place to sit and watch life on the water, and the location made it easy to reach the beach with a short canoe ride. We also enjoyed having the canoe to explore the river and surroundings.

  The only minor downside was the access road, which is a bit basic and uneven in places. It wasn’t a major issue for us, but something to be aware of when walking into town. A bonus, though, was seeing a troop monkeys along the road.

  Un soggiorno in coppia di 12 giorni bellissimo in questo posto fantastico da dove si poteva pure visitare l isola sempli

  La tranquillità e la posizione bellissima tra fiume e mare…la bellezza e pulizia delle camere e anche del resto della struttura, la possibilità di poter usare gratis le canoe , la gentilezza e la estrema disponibilità dei proprietari e anche del personale, la piccola piscina e la possibilità di avere una ottima colazione o piccoli snack in giornata

  Niente :-)

  Smelly, unclean, dishonest and rude. Promised a refund, then they kept my money anyway.

  Good, quiet location on the water, free kayaks.

  Very strong artificial floral fragrance in the room that we could not tolerate, along with a noticeable grey water smell from the toilet area. We also found an unknown substance under the bed that appeared organic and decomposing (brown and yellow with softer areas). Staff offered conflicting explanations, modeling clay and AC glue, neither of which matched the appearance. We eventually decided we couldn’t tolerate the smell and had to find alternate lodging. The owner apologized profusely and agreed in person to refund the remaining two nights if we chose to leave, and we of course offered to pay for our first night. We relied on his promise and checked out. After leaving, however, the property refused the refund and kept the payment anyway. Their written response directly contradicted what we were told in person and included a false allegation that I had asked to use drugs in the room. Based on our experience, I would strongly recommend avoiding if you are sensitive to smells, and getting any agreements in writing before making decisions based on their word. There are endless wonderful places to stay on Koh Chang. In our experience, this is not one of them.
