3 Star Koh Samui Holidays

T.j. Rissing

My wife and two daughters stayed at the ibis for five nights in August. The breakfasts were some of the best we had on our month in Thailand and the evening live music and fire shows were a huge hit. The rooms are a little on the small side but definitely great for the price that you pay. We stayed in the family adjoining room and it was definitely appreciated over all the previous bunk bed suites on our trip. The staff were all extremely friendly and the landscaping was amazing. Our family definitely appreciated the labeled species of plants and trees. Just be careful on the stepping stones in the main area ... I don't think they are spaced for tall people 😂. Most of ours time was spent at the pool or walking to fisherman's village. But definitely take the road, not the beach... Very difficult to walk in the sand. The walk to fisherman's village is totally doable in about 15 minutes and definitely go if the night market is happening. Similar hotels in the area cost more than 10 times the amount for similar amenities... Don't wait to book as they fill up fast! Thanks for a great stay. We hope to return soon!

Well positioned, very clean, great breakfast especially for children, nice staff, rooms are tiny but we requested an upgrade to a bigger room and reception were really helpful, we booked a trip through the lovely lady in reception, laundrette and scooter hire plus a few bars and restaurants close by. Fisherman’s village was a half an hour walk, or the hotel offer a shuttle service. No beach due to high tide, but 3 nice pools, food and drink were expensive but as to be expected. We would not return here due to the amount of children present ( European school Holidays ) but we travelled Thailand and this was the only hotel with lots of children.

A truly relaxing stay at ibis Our stay at ibis was everything we hoped for and more. The location is absolutely perfect — right on the beach, with stunning ocean views, peaceful surroundings, and that magical tropical vibe that instantly puts you at ease. From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel welcome and cared for. Every staff member was friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm throughout our stay. A special mention goes to Toto from the restaurant team. Although he wasn’t there during breakfast, he made our lunches absolutely memorable. His kind smile, thoughtful service, and positive energy brought a special charm to every meal. It’s people like him who truly make a difference in the guest experience — thank you, Toto! The variety of food offered throughout the week was also impressive. From Thai favourites to Western comfort food, everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. The only small downside was that the pool closed a bit early at 7 PM — we would have loved to enjoy a quiet swim under the evening sky. But honestly, that’s a minor detail in what was otherwise a perfect stay. We’re leaving feeling relaxed, happy, and very grateful. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a beachfront getaway with heart, soul, and great service.

The hotel is easily accessible from the airport by taxi. The area around the hotel is safe, and it’s also safe to walk along the beach at night. The hotel is simple, in line with others in the chain. The furnishings are basic but functional. The suite I stayed in (with a double bed, living room, and kitchen) was adequately sized, on the ground floor with a view of the inner garden, pool, and beach. The bed was comfortable. There was a fridge, a safe, and useful accessories (like a flashlight for outdoor use and an umbrella for the monsoon season). The bathroom had fixed hygiene products that couldn’t be removed. There was also a TV with some satellite channels. The breakfast was decent, with some tropical fruit and various continental breakfast items. There was a station for made-to-order omelets and scrambled eggs. A couple of Asian dishes were available. There are many excellent restaurants in the area, offering great quality and prices. The hotel’s restaurant is good and a convenient option in bad weather. Prices are fair. There are several pools and a poolside bar offering excellent Asian dishes and decent international ones. The cocktails and fresh fruit smoothies served poolside are excellent, with fair prices that become great during happy hour. Next to the pool area is a pavilion for Thai massages. Despite being open-air and wall-less, the environment is relaxing and the massage enjoyable. Prices are in line with nearby centers, and discounts are available for special treatments (like balm massages) at the base price. From the pool area, you can access the private beach, which is clean and overlooks a beautiful, clear sea. The garden, pool, and common areas are constantly maintained, clean, and well-kept.

It’s a perfect place to relax with beautiful white sandy beaches and clean, comfortable rooms. The location is right in the center, close to tourist attractions and very convenient for travel. Every staff member made me feel truly valued. The front desk team was always ready to help with everything, and the restaurant staff were friendly and provided excellent service. Even though I came here alone, I never felt lonely. This is truly the spirit of Thailand kindness and genuine hospitality. I will definitely come back to stay here again.

We've been staying at this hotel every year for several years, and we still love it. The staff is extremely kind and helpful. We always book room #115, "Ocean Building," ideally located near the pool and the beach. The room is comfortable and always spotless thanks to daily housekeeping. The only slight downside: every morning, a cooking smell wafts into the room, which is quite annoying. The setting is superb, with perfectly maintained gardens; you really feel like you're on vacation just walking around the hotel. The breakfast is just okay, very limited not memorable. The service at the beach restaurant/bar, on the other hand, is remarkable: whenever a guest needs something, two or three staff members immediately jump in to help. The menu offers a wide selection of Thai and European dishes, all delicious. I would definitely give the staff and beach services a 10/10, especially Mr. Joe and Miss Kae, who are always helpful and lovely. We will continue to stay at this hotel as long as this team is still here, otherwise we'll be looking for a different hotel 😆😜🤣 Thank you 🫶🏼 Mr. PH…. from #115

Nice hotel with a great location. Breakfast is decent — you get what you need. The staff will prepare eggs in any style: fried, boiled, scrambled, or as an omelet. Very good! Sun loungers are available both by the pool and on the beach. Rooms are clean and spacious. Note: There is a lot of noise from a pub if you’re staying on the riverside, especially near the road.

Review and ratings are based on the fact that it's a 3* hotel. We had a room in the building by the sea and it was quite spacious. Being on the 4th floor we also had a sea view. Breakfast was relatively basic, with only one Asian dish and the usual international choices. Pool was very near the beach and you could use either easily from the loungers. Hotel staff were all very friendly. A short walk to the Central shopping centre and Chaweng nightlife

The resort is nice, located on Chaweng Beach, a very popular area. The rooms are clean and not noisy, and the staff are friendly. The beach also good!! I can see the dogs swimming really lovely 🥰 👍

Pros: Good location. On beachfront which is beautiful and very clean. Great buffet breakfast with a great variety of salads and Thai food.Excellent friendly service from breakfast crew Tong and Yong.Tong in particularly, is very helpful, hard-working and cheerful, with good communication skills. Up to date TVs and lovely bathroom. Clean and very good standard of hygiene. Cons: Rooms are too small. No real outside space- a tiny token balcony 1 foot by 4 foot. Hotel is quite noisy with constant annoying music. Not 4 star in my opinion.

Robert

A good hotel with professional friendly staff. Room was spacious and clean with plenty amenities. Location is excellent, beside many bars and restaurants. Lots of families so does get loud. Only thing let it down in my opinion was no evening bar to chill at, if you want to escape the hustle of outside bars.

BALKRUSHNA VAGHASIA

Very pleasant hotel with access to beach where you actually can swim. Good Breakfast. Nick at the reception helped me design itinery and she was very kind. Access to market and shopping at the walking distance. Couldn't have asked more.

Nina Radia

The hotel was clean and comfortable. Great location (the Main Street was jst outside the hotel and everything including cheap laundry, good massage parlours and plenty of restaurants on the street) and amenities. The staff specially Green and Annie were incredibly helpful and welcoming. Made our stay enjoyable!

There is an employee named Lin who always gives help and speaks nicely and helps people no matter what time of day. A good guy just for him is worth coming to the hotel. He is kind and gentle.

Shanzay Shahzad

The one thing I liked most about it is near to 24 hrs cheap which is very cheap and the staff is friendly the pool is also very good. There were a few 🦎 lizards in the room which I am afraid of but overall it was good. And one more thing the place is not quite which can also be loud at times especially when you’re sleeping 💤 usually early in the morning and before noon.

Ettore

Very poor service, they also made us pay for two water bottles we did leave in the room. Very noisy air conditioning, no flexibility on the checkout. Feels like a trap for tourists and not really close to the best beaches. Better choose coral cove 10 minutes away

I am unsure how there are positive reviews for this hotel. The pictures of the room on booking are totally misleading and outdated. I stayed here for a couple weeks as I was training Muay Thai. The room was already a bit dirty when I first got there but it was doable. During my stay it obviously got more dirty, which is normal, but as there was housekeeping everyday I thought they would clean it and it would be fine. However, housekeeping doesn’t clean anything! All they do is make the bed and give new towels. The floor gets dirty and don’t even get me started on the bathroom! The showers are disgusting I can’t believe you let your guests shower in such a dirty bathroom! I didn’t feel clean once. Also the bedsheets have so many stains on them that make you not even want to sleep in the bed. I asked people at reception twice for my room to be properly cleaned and they said yes but it never happened! The pool also is not cleaned enough and there are other hotel guests that are loud and dirty which the staff doesn’t do anything about. The hotel definitely needs to be updated. I saw a poster outside saying it had a re-opening in 2021, well it needs another re-opening because this hotel is not worth the money at all.
