Annika Koh Chang

4.4(810 reviews)

Nestled on the island of Koh Chang in Trat Province, Annika Koh Chang offers a laid-back retreat for travellers seeking comfort without the formality of a large resort. With consistently positive guest feedback, the property strikes a balance between relaxed island living and reliable amenities, making it a solid choice for those exploring one of Thailand's larger and less commercialised islands. Guests can expect warm, comfortable quarters alongside a range of on-site facilities including an outdoor pool, a restaurant, a bar, and a spa. The atmosphere leans toward the unhurried side, which suits Koh Chang's general character as an island better known for jungle-covered hills, quiet beaches, and a slower pace than the more developed resort islands further south. The combination of dining, drinks, and wellness facilities means guests have the option to unwind on-site without needing to venture far. Koh Chang is accessible by ferry from the mainland port of Laem Ngop, near Trat town, so travellers should factor in travel time when planning arrival. The island sees its driest and most pleasant weather between November and April, making this the peak season for visits. Booking in advance during this period is advisable. Those arriving during the shoulder or wet season may find quieter conditions and potential rate advantages, though some island facilities operate on reduced schedules between May and October. Checking the hotel's website directly for current availability and seasonal information is recommended.
