Koh Wai Pakarang (Coral) Resort
Most luxurious option

What we say: 
A series of new wooden and concrete bungalows, Pakarang resort is what passes for high-end accommodation on Ko Wai. The rooms are by far the nicest, with proper mirrors and sinks in the bathrooms and real glass windows to keep the mosquitoes at bay. Just like a resort back home staff can organise activities such as fishing tours, diving and karaoke nights. There's also a basketball court if you want to dunk something other than your head.

You can get from here to there, but why not just be there
We stayed here because we were looking for our own bathroom and Paradise didn't offer that option - it was more expensive but we had the money to burn. In the end, we ate at other spots on the island as the food here was not great and ended up tip-toeing through glass between Paradise and here each evening as we returned after a mild full moon 'party' on Paradise with some good people and some instruments. Honestly, if you're looking to meet people and hang out, go to Paradise - this spot is nice if you want a quiet place to sleep.

Most upscale option
Reasonably good value for Ko Wai. I stayed here my last night on the island because the pier is was 2-minute walk from my bungalow. Rate was 400 Baht in April for a basic fan bungalow. They're closed during the low season - around May -> September.

Showoff restaurant
We stayed here for just one night in a bungalow that was so tilted it was exercise just walking from one end of the bungalow to the other. The restaurant looks really nice, and the staff has all matching uniforms, but the menu was a disappointment. The food was so-so and a lot of things we asked for they didn“t even have. Of the eleven different desserts in the menu they had only ability to make one. Easy to choose then... After one night we moved to Paradise, and we were much more satisfied over there.

Price hike
Like Kevin I also returned here in Feb 2007. I agree with him that Paradise restaurant has gone way down and the prices have increased, and Pakarang's is now much better, with a much a more extensive menu. We used to stay at Pakarang when the ensuite rooms were 350-400 baht but eat at Paradise and use the beach there - now that situation is reversed, as the bungalows on Paradise are still only 250 baht while Pakarang have doubled their prices in three years. (though they have upgraded the pathways and other facilities on the resort). As regular visitors at Paradise, they don't even charge us for the kayaks anymore, so when the beach starts to fill up with daytrippers, we got into the habit of slipping on to one and paddling over to Pakarang for lunch.

Still nice.
Paid 700B for the same bungalow that was 500B in 2005. Seems better now that Paradise is more overrun by day trips from Ko Chang and the restaurant at Paradise seems by my short test to have gone way down. Probably due to the excess volume of traffic. Coral is just the same and the staff are very friendly and helpful. There are two more cheap bungalow operations that I did not test the rooms or food.

OK huts, great beach
Rooms not great for the price compared to Ko Chang but it is so different with no cars etc. Not as much as Paradise, but plenty of day trip visitors from Chang in the afternoon. Rooms open to mossies but had bed net cover.

Better value than Paradise
These ensuite rooms are much better value than Paradise, but the restaurant isn't as good. Also the beach isn't that pretty. Normally we stay here and walk to Paradise in the daytime to enjoy its much better beach and restrauant and have dinner at Pakarang.
