About the hotel:
Good points were the excellent grounds, good service and small number of rooms which gave it a nice ambience. It also had a unique dining/breakfast area on the beach. It was good to see that, unlike most of Koh Samui the owners have not tried to build out the area with the maximum number of rooms/shops etc. However the not so good points were the rooms apparently recently refurbished in nouveau decrepit style,noisy airconditioning, mozzies,smallish pool and lunatics letting fireworks off on the beach.

Bad things: - hotel is not convinent for young active baby, because stairs very croud and do not secure for small babies - air con system is too noisy and very strong even in lowest mode - no buffet breakfast (menu breakfast only) Good things: - very friendly staff - very good swim pool - hotel gave us possibility to stayed in two interconnected rooms what was very convienent for big families with babies - really boutique hotel I would reccomend it for honeymoon or for couple without small babies.

About the hotel:
The hotel was quite all right and since there was availability they upgraded our room since we were there for honeymoon. It was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful.The only thing that we were not satisfied was the breakfast. For a four star hotel there should be a buffet breakfast but there wasn t. They serve breakfast to the tables and it was really insufficient for us so we had to add something to our own breakfast everyday. The location was good and we enjoyed our stay.We had a very early check in and we had a late flight at 18 pm and they also provided us the room till 5 pm and it was free and a late check out.

About the hotel:
I was attracted by the 100m of beach front and the picture of the pool. I had stayed next door at the Amari two years ago so I was familiar with this stretch of beach. The hotel itself was OK. Actually I must admit to walking around doing renovations in my head. I admit that my first change would be to knock the place down and build a resort with more rooms and less grounds. But enough about that. I found the place a little used up. Then again given what s available in the price range on Koh Samui it s about equal with the market. I love the pool. It really is the highlight of the place. The beach is also great but I admit to being put off by the run-off into the ocean along the beach and wouldn t swim there. I like the location wrt the merchants and restaurants of chewang. At most it will take you 10 minutes to find someplace to eat or spend all those Baht. My room was one of the basic room and it was fine. I didn t book the Ritz so there was no disappointments. The staff was great. I felt like each one of them actually cared about me and how my stay was. The best part of Thailand is the people and the staff was as good as I ve experienced. I travel alone but if you have kids, Muang Kulaypan should be your choice just for the love and care the staff give them. A solid 3-4/5 at a discount price.

About the hotel:
What an utter disappointment. It looked so pretty on the website. We did not have the promised ocean view that we paid extra for. The shower didn t work, there a limited chairs near the pool. The manager is not nice, and the other guests seemed miserable. Thanks to a group of guys also staying at the Muang Kulaypan, we bailed out after the first day and headed over to the Baan Haad Ngam and had an excelllent time.

The Muang Kulaypan is a real oasis of calm within Chaweng Beach area. The rooms are contemporary and very comfortable, the staff are very helpful and attentive. The only down side is Chaweng Beach area itself - the Blackpool of Thailand, very touristy.

| Kulaypan - The city of Inao In the reign of King Boromakot of the Ayudhya period, Princess Kunton and Princess Mongkut were fascinated by a story told them by their Javanese governess about charming Prince Inao (Inu Panyee Karatapati) of the Indonesian Shailendra dynasty (807A.D.), a great lover as well as a valiant warrior. From this time on the legend became a well-known dance drama in the Royal Thai court until the reign of King Chulalongkorn. |
|||
 |
 |
 |
| Rama V. Chaochom Manda Khian, the mother of my great grandfather (H.R.H. Prince Naradhip son of King Mongkut), and niece of Queen Somanat, was renowned for playing the role of Inao. In these times it was royal practice that when a prince was born, King Mongkut would lay a little sword as a gift in the baby is basket. For the birth of Prince Naradhip, the king added a dagger or kris as a special present for the Son of Inao. When I was asked upon to design a hotel on Chaweng beach, Samui Island; realizing fully well myself that the southern part of Thailand was once a territory in the Sri Vijaya Kingdom, Kulaypan - the name of the capital city in the story of Inao, sprang immediately to my mind. Falling in love with the location was a delight from the first moment. | ||

 |
| Through the coconut grove before me is a view all the way to the horizon... waves dancing on a shimmering sea, a small isle and the endless blue sky. Beauty, natural in form. Perfect light and color. I decided straightaway that we could never spoil such a truly wonderful vista. The view is ever marvelous: at dawn, the break of day, late morning and towards noon, in the afternoon and twilight, or even late at night you will find the indescribably beautiful seascape and heavens changing their charms with time, your spirit and your dreams. Come and be enchanted day and night at Muang Kulaypan. | ||
