Guest sentiment

A 40-room island resort on Koh Si Chang reached by a 20-minute speedboat from its sister hotel's pier in Sriracha, with sea-view rooms and beachfront pool villas.

Last updated August 12, 2026

Novotel Koh Si Chang is a boutique, roughly 40-room island resort that opened in 2020 as the offshore half of a dual-location property with Novotel Marina Sriracha on the mainland, connected by a private pier running a 20-minute speedboat service. Rooms span Island Deluxe sea-view categories through to one- and two-bedroom pool villas with private plunge pools, all with tropical, natural-material design and sea-facing balconies. Guests consistently praise the tranquil, uncrowded setting, an infinity pool overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, attentive staff and fresh seafood-forward dining, with the main watchouts being the island's limited nightlife and dining beyond the resort, and that reaching it depends entirely on the scheduled speedboat crossing rather than a road.

The research view

What the research keeps finding

Medium confidence

Themes that came up again and again across independent reviews — not a single opinion, but the patterns that repeat.

Consistently praised

  • Opened in 2020 as a genuine dual-location hotel with Novotel Marina Sriracha, sharing branding but operating as two distinct properties 20 minutes apart by boat
  • At roughly 40 rooms, it's a notably smaller, more boutique property than most other Novotel-branded hotels in this directory
  • Sea-view pool villas with private plunge pools are the most consistently praised room category

Worth knowing before you book

  • Room count of 40 comes from an August 2024 Thaiger article; the hotel's own Accor listing does not state a total room count, so treat this figure as reasonably but not fully confirmed
  • At least one 2026 guest review noted industrial ships visible near the property from some rooms/lagoon views, worth checking room assignment on booking

Frequently asked questions

How do you get to Novotel Koh Si Chang?

The hotel is reached by a roughly 20-minute speedboat crossing from a private pier at its sister property, Novotel Marina Sriracha, on the mainland -- there's no road access to the island. Guests typically arrange the crossing as part of their booking, and it's the same route used for day-trippers visiting Koh Si Chang.

Is Novotel Koh Si Chang a big resort?

No -- it's a notably boutique property with roughly 40 rooms, including sea-view categories and one- or two-bedroom pool villas with private plunge pools, making it considerably smaller and more intimate than most other Novotel-branded hotels in Southeast Asia, and the island's only hotel overall.
