Intercontinental Koh Samui Resort

Pongnattee Sawatdeedaeng

I had such a wonderful stay here! They kindly upgraded my room to an ocean view, which gave me the perfect spot to enjoy a stunning sunset right from my terrace. The staff were all super friendly and helpful throughout my stay—especially Hunter, who was incredibly welcoming and really great at his job. Pompam made check-out quick and smooth, which I truly appreciated. The design of the hotel is beautiful in every detail. I love how well the architecture blends seamlessly with nature—it feels peaceful and thoughtfully planned. Highly recommended! I’d definitely come back again.

Location: Perched high with uninterrupted 180° ocean views and a peaceful, crowd-free beachfront. The only downside is limited ocean access due to a coral reef. Villas and rooms are well spaced for privacy and quiet. Rooms: Spacious, clean, and well maintained with classic attractive interiors. Not new, but very comfortable. Atmosphere: Beautiful, calm and subdued (during our low season visit), with plenty of poolside lounge chair/cabana choices and two dining-room options. Value: Excellent for a 5-star resort. Spa treatments are pricey but comparable to other international menus. Some of the best massages and facials we've ever had - consistently outstanding across several family members. Service: 10/10! Every staff member — from front desk to housekeeping — went above and beyond. Amenities: Impeccably maintained pools (six in total), restrooms, and all public areas. Daily beach grooming. No mustiness despite the heavy rains and timber interiors. The resort always felt warm and serene.

Stayed here for work. The resort is really nice and our room was large with a balcony and had a great view over the sea. The food I. The restaurant was tasty and the staff were friendly and efficient. Lots of wildlife around and we saw a couple of (harmless) snakes - one on our balcony and one at the entrance to the lobby. The staff were great in catching and later releasing them. Cocktails and nibbles are in served every day from 5-7 pm. The three downsides are: 1) it is built on the side of a steep hill and so some villas are up a steep pathway. This means buggies are needed and is inconvenient if you leave something in the room. 2) our room was fortunately attached to the lobby annex so was only a 1 minute walk to the lobby. However, the planning was not good - Thailand is a tropical country so heavy afternoon rain and thunderstorms are not unusual. There was no continuous cover from our room to the lobby, only cover along part of the corridor. Incredibly, the last 10 metres from the corridor to the lobby is completely uncovered so you either get a bit wet or you need to try to attract the attention of the staff for an umbrella. 3) the location is quite remote which may suit some. But it essentially means that unless you want to pay for transport to a nearby town for a massage or local meal, you are somewhat confined to the resort. As I said, this may suit a lot of guests.

We had a wonderful getaway from Bangkok to this resort on Samui Island. Although it rained heavily and the water in front of the hotel wasn’t clear enough for water activities during our stay, we thoroughly enjoyed the Club Lounge services, the swimming pool, and breakfast at Amber. We did nothing but relax, eat, and sleep — which was perfect for our vacation in Samui. I will definitely come back to enjoy the sunset from the Club Lounge while sipping on their excellent wine collection.

Absolutely incredible. You will be treated like royalty. There are so many staff members ready to help you with anything and everything, everyone is extremely friendly and respectful, greeting you at every corner. I was only here for one night and wish I could've stayed longer. The location on the island is perfect for sunset. I was here by happenstance with a last minute booking with one of my free IHG reward nights and couldn't have picked a better destination. They upgraded me to a sea view room which was the cherry on top. Also, the breakfast buffet is MASSIVE and has both lunch and breakfast options of the highest quality, both pre-made and made to order - everything delicious. Overall, I only have great things to say and will have to come back again!
