The hotel and rooms were very clean and had comfortable beds. We were greeted by the owner who explained services on offer and was very informative about where to go and what to do whenever we asked. The two Thai ladies were smiling and friendly. Our stay was quiet and relaxing watching the birds over the river morning and night and just a 10 minute walk down a fairly well lit track to the main road with many restaurants of all kinds and bars with temple just along the road.

We enjoyed everything and this is not a negative in anyway just a be aware that due to the hotel being over the mangrove there is the odd smell every now and then but isn’t that bad and doesn’t hang around. Again not a negative and didn’t affect our stay. We had a great time and enjoyed the peace and quiet away from the main road.

I can’t say enough good about our fabulous time at Watercolours. The peaceful location right on a river and also just five minutes from the ocean is ideal. The welcoming deck is full of plants and flowers. The ambiance is magical. The rooms are large, beautifully decorated, and clean with enough space for big beds as well as a couch. The staff aimed to please. They help with everything from providing breakfast and lunch to booking tours to helping set up their free kayaks, canoes and paddle boards. The owner was so kind. When we said the bed for our daughter was too hard, he bought a mattress topper the next day. He doesn’t skimp on anything. Even the shampoo and conditioner are good quality. We loved it and will return.

Loved everything.

The hotel was just very beautiful, at the river. It was very relaxing and quite. There was the option of renting a kayak or SUP. The workers and the host were very kind. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe and I enjoyed my stay very much. The restaurant also served very good food, and it was also close to other good restaurants, especially the family-led bar directly at the beach, which was only 5 minutes of walking distance.

It was a little bit far away from the small village, like 15 minutes walking distance. But for only 50 baht you could call a taxi.

We loved this place very much; such a hidden gem! It has a unique secluded location in a mangrove forest, on the edge of a river, close to the sea/beach. Although we had seen the location on the map, it was still surprising. (Note it is quite close to other resorts, but you do not notice they are there). This boutique resort has only 5 rooms along a corridor with plants and birds. The rooms are spacious, very beautiful, each in different vibrant colours, with lots of attention for detail. The terrace on the river looks out on the restaurants and resorts on the other side. Both in the day and in the evening it is very pictoresk. The place is amazingly peaceful and quiet. One could just delve into their well filled book case and read or just meditate. The canoes can be freely used to explore the river and the beach nearby. Yusuf and Khun May are incredibly nice and took good care of us. There was a great choice of breakfast options (not included in the room rate), and there are several restaurant options near by on the beach, river, and in the village. Just this: it is very quiet in the evenings, so this may not be for some of you!

We loved the serene oasis it afforded on the estuary away from the main tourist areas, the vibrant colours and design, the fact that it was small and felt like a relaxing home, great host and staff and all sorts of helpful information for booking trips, and the use of kayaks and scooters.

We liked it all although would recommend use of a scooter to get to see the rest of the island and choice of places to eat. We were there when there wasn’t much beach because of the diurnal tides so had to walk or go on the scooter to get to the beach.

I loved the resort the minute I walked in. The location is beautiful. It is a 5 minute kayak ride and a 5 minute walk to a beautiful long beach. The resort is on a river. It is so peaceful and near to town and many restaurants. The river was perfect to swim in with lovely views. Quiet deck with stunning views of the river. The room was amazing, big, well designed, private, and so comfortable. The resort was very peaceful, with the small gardens and nature surrounding the resort. The staff made me feel at home. They were so kind and genuine. The menu was limited as you would expect at a small resort. The quality of the food was excellent. It was OK for me.it was convenient if I wanted to eat the resort. There are many great local restaurants that you can walk to from the resort. A few of them were directly on the ocean. It was a great value for the price. It was so nice I changed my stay at another resort from two weeks to one week to spend another week at Water Colours. I rarely give a 10 for a review. I could not find one thing I did not like. When I visit Koh Chang, I will stay at Water Colours.

Nothing

We have been to the place two years ago and it was already nice at the time although we didn t like the bungalow rooms at that time. There are very nice new owners, the bungalows don t exist anymore and the other rooms are just really great and spacious. It is quite a peaceful, calm atmosphere, peaceful background music, comfy beds, clean, and exactly what we were looking for to chill. Of course, in this area it is nice to have a Scooter. And if you need something you just have to ask. If you like action and lots of people there are other places on the island. I rarely write reviews and also are suspicious with ten stars reviews but with this stay I was surprised in a positive way.

I usually do not write detailed reviews but I had to for Watercolours. This place really makes you feel at home. The place looks beautiful and it is a true paradise. The owners are extremely helpful and involved. Any question I had about restaurants, snorkeling tours, fishing, beaches: they were ready to help. Every night we took the kayak to the beach where we watched the sunset and drank beers. With a short 5 minute scooter ride you are in the center of Koh Chang with great restaurants, a supermarket and other things to do. Thanks for the wonderful stay.

The first thing when we arrived was that the owner told us: Feel like home. And we did ❤️ Everyone is nice and the whole hotel feels like a big house. The lobby/restaurant is a very comfy place. Jumping in the morning in a Kajak or paddling to the ocean for the sundown.. just amazing ❤️ you can even swim to the beach :) very nice and comfy place in the mangroves (lots of fishes etc to watch!) And for us the best place where we could stay. Especially because of coco the cat, the warming and welcoming owner and the friendly staff :) Hope to see you again ^^

Nicely located near the mouth of an estuary next to Klong Prao beach, Watercolours is a riverside resort, where guests can watch the world pass by at a leisurely pace. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and nicely decorated. We enjoyed taking a kayak out for a ride and eating at the restaurant overlooking the waters. The staff were attentive and helpful. Would confidently recommend to others.

Free beach towels and no time limit on using the kayaks and paddle boards without charge would be an improvement.
