Ek and Dave(Ek is from a local Thai family, born on Koh Chang, while Dave is of Welsh-Canadian origin) founded their original hotel resort in 1998 on a prime piece of beachside property on Koh Chang s most desirable beach, White Sand Beach. Named in honour of their new baby daughter, Alina, the hotel was an immediate success. With its charming, family-style approach, personal service and friendly staff, Ek and Dave (and little Alina) soon found their resort becoming a favourite with locals and tourists alike.

Four years later, Ek and Dave purchased the property across the road, and plans began for their new expansion, Alina Grande. With every detail designed with the comfort of their guests in mind, Alina Grande opened in early 2006, and continues to grow and thrive, while never losing the personal touch that Alina Grande Hotel and Resort.

Elephant Riding : Chang means Elephant in the Thai language -- so what better place to experience these magnificent animals than Koh Chang? Take an elephant ride through the jungle from one of their island camps, and learn more about these intelligent and noble creatures.

Trekking : The development on Koh Chang is confined to the villages and coastal road, so there is plenty of unspoiled wilderness to explore. The jungle is home to numerous varieties of monkey, barking dear, wild boars and monitor lizards, as well as birds such as great hornbills, eagles and many more. Many streams run through the rainforest, and waterfalls abound. Our knowledgable staff can recommend a variety of guided treks, tailored to your particular interests, and ranging from easy walks to the more challenging mountain treks for the experienced hiker.
