Moana Resort & MuEi Bar

4.5(80 reviews)

Moana Resort & MuEi Bar sits on Koh Chang, one of Thailand's larger Gulf islands known for its lush jungle interior and relaxed coastal atmosphere. The property combines lodging with an on-site bar, the MuEi Bar, making it a convenient option for travellers who want accommodation and a social space in one place. Its strong guest rating reflects a consistently positive experience across a modest but engaged pool of reviewers. Guests can expect a laid-back, island-style environment that suits those looking to slow down rather than seek out high-end luxury. The pairing of a resort with a bar suggests an easy, informal atmosphere where guests can unwind without needing to venture far. The property is open every day of the week from 08:00 to 20:00, which is worth noting for travellers planning late arrivals or early departures, as access outside those hours may require advance coordination. For practical planning, Koh Chang is typically reached by ferry from the Trat coast, so factoring in travel time from Bangkok or the nearest airport is advisable. Travellers are encouraged to check the resort's Facebook page directly for current room availability, pricing, and any seasonal updates, as that serves as the primary point of contact for the property.

Book Shoulder Season

Compare OTAs and Direct Rates

Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.

Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive

Private pool villas in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai start around 2,500–4,000 THB/night — a fraction of Bali or Maldives prices. Search specifically for 'pool villa' to surface hidden gems.
