Hotel was ok, but not quite as nice as expected. It is advertised as a hip asia hotel but the rooms look as if they just haven t been finished yet! There were lots of tiny little ant/spider things that appeared in the bathroom and I mistakedly left a glass out on the dressing table after having somr orange juice, when we arrived back in the room it was covered in the things! Breakfast wasn t great and the pool area is small - only six sunbeds. The biggest gripe is that they do not have safety deposit boxes in the rooms or in reception. When we asked about this we were told that our things could be put in the boss s office where we would have rather limited access to - sorry but that wasn t good enough for us! White Sands Beach may well be the most built up resort on Koh Chang, but come 11.30 to midnight it is dead - unless you want to hang with the backpackers on the beach that is! That said Koh Chang is a beautiful island and I would highly recommend renting a bike and going around the place. The east side is lovely and definitely worth the treck down the unfinished road to find long beach! If I return to Koh Chang I would choose to stay in Kao Bao (sp?) as it had a much better feel to it that White Sands. In the end we checked out 3 days early as we had seen all round the island anyway. Extended our stay in Pattaya instead!! [R24 integr.ERR:escaping]

breakfast was often not hot. only one electrical outlet in room: none in bathroom. pillows were all too thick and staff unable to find good replacements. Staff were pleasant.
