We had a very good lunch here with very good food and some good cocktails. Loved sitting at tables over the water. Such a great location. We can highly recommend. We were here in February 20 and there were not many people due to the Covid19. We did not have to book table but I think this would be necessary any other time in high season.

Great place

Let me start off by saying this place was a dream to stay at. And then let me give you a heads up that you can see the water underneath your room through the many slits in the floor. That was a major mind game for me! Also, you may not have the water pressure or amount of water you’re used to when showering. With all of those things out of the way let me list off the reasons I loved it and would go back. We got to Koh Chang at 9 AM from an over night transfer and had no idea where we would go or really what we would even do. We just headed the Buddha View to see if they would hold our bags and they immediately dropped everything to clean our room and get us checked in. Over the few days we were there they treated us like family and not just like tourists. Not to mention, they had the best sunset views on the entire island. 

If you have time, for sure spend a night or two here

We had three rooms booked for our family of five adults. Unfortunately the en-suite rooms were already fully booked so we had to have rooms which shared bathrooms down the hallway. As we had the only three rooms without en-suite it just meant we shared two bathrooms between our family members. Now I am an en-suite bathroom kind of girl and I was not happy when my husband booked this but I quickly forgave him when we arrived! 
The Buddha view is lovely, there is a large restaurant and bar built over the water from the main pier. The views are beautiful from this dining/bar area. The seating is comfortable, from low cushioned  seats with feet dangling over the water to ‘normal’ tables and chairs. We loved the feet dangling option! There is a lovely breeze, very welcome and a few sun beds at the end of the property. 
The rooms are small, all wooden with a very sturdy sliding door. There are small gaps in the floor and it’s possible to see the water below! The ‘window’ is a large wooden hatch which you prop open. It is dark in the rooms with the hatch shut, but with it open people walking into the restaurant can see into the room. We kept our hatch shut most of the time. The rooms have very efficient air conditioning and a washbasin, a wardrobe and a large comfortable bed, lovely linen and everything immaculately clean. 
The two bathrooms have a spacious shower, loo and vanity basin, again immaculate. 
It was amazing having the beautiful bar/ restaurant space to ourselves in the early morning, a fabulous view to wake up to. It is not deluxe stay but it was an experience I really enjoyed. 
I can highly recommend the food, a decent menu with plenty of choice for dinner. Our vegetarian found choices. . Cold drinks are deliciously cold. I had eggs benedict for breakfast with fresh orange juice and coffee, all excellent. 
The staff were absolutely lovely, friendly and helpful, always smiling. 
If you are diving with BB divers (some of us were)  this place is steps away from the shop and the boat! 
Definitely an experience I enjoyed and would recommend if you want to try something different from the big chain hotels and resorts.

Lovely visit

We didn't stay in accommodation just dined here a couple of times.  Loved sitting at tables over the water.  Pad Thai was brilliant as were all the dishes.  Beer ice cold and service really good.  Such a great location.  Highly recommend

Great Food

This could be the best Resort on Koh Chang with all its outstanding features that no place on Ko Chang has. However, the downside here could make you decided not to stay here.

The settings and environment here is just superb and impressive. It has a deck that stands on water and  is  the best place to enjoy the Sunset or  a Moonlight swim. Ladder and shower are provided at the deck.

This resort has a very attractive dinning hall looking over the Bang Bao Bay. There are two glass tables that you can sit and dine over the water. 

As this resort is located at the end of the Bang Bao Plaza,  the dining hall is nice and cool all the time with fresh sea breeze.
No place else at Bang Bao Plaza has this privilege.

As you know, Bang Bao Pier is the only Pier that you get on board for outlying islands snorkelling or diving. The Boats are just around the corner and save you a ride.

There are only 7 rooms in this resort. All rooms are air conditioning and of the same configuration with no windows. Three rooms have no bathroom but just a washing basin. Two bathrooms are located at the end of the corridor for share. Four rooms are having a pretty sizeable self bathrooms.

These room are all with wood partition and therefore not sound insulated. The sliding doors are noisy too. 

For the ones who drove here, you have to park your car outside the Plaza and carry your luggage for about 350 meters. Parking fee is Baht200 per day from 9 am.

There are no night activities at Bang Bao Bay.   Shops and Restaurants in the Plaza will all be closed after 9-10 pm.

Yes and No

The best gems are found after a little treasure hunt.  This is absolute the case with Buddha Vieuw. A short walk over the pier will bring you to one of the best situated restaurants I've seen. The food is fantastic with a wide variety of choices both European and Asian. We had a wonderfull dinner. And thanks to the staff for helping out with entertaining the wee one

Oprechte gastvrijheid en topkeuken

Cool different location. Nice staff. cool over the water experience. Cant wait to go back. Very relaxing and different kind of vacation. Boats in the area will take you wherever you want to go. Cant wait to come back to the Buddha.

great food!!!!!!!!!

What a place.
Such kind personel, great food and Nice service. Exceptional view + vibe.
I got very sick one day and the personel came to my room. They washed my body, gave me sine pills and some water and i was fresh next day

Amazing

Great location at the pier of Bang Bao. Try the seafood BBQ or some local and Western dishes served with a great seaview on the pier. Staff is great they make you feel unique. The restaurant has also some nicely small guestrooms for those who like to enjoy from sunrise till sunset really at the sea. Quality food, lovely setting, great cooking, nice staff!

Enjoy food and athmospere

The ambience and location were just the kind of romantic setting any couple could ask for. That, and the exquisite food and wonderful service made our evening here an experience for the memory books. 

Many thanks.
