Koh Samui Hotels

What an experience! This was our last night in koh samui and the only disappointment was that we hadn't spent more time at this resort. The hotel grounds are spectacular with tropical surroundings and a jaw dropping view every way you turned! The buffet breakfast was wonderful as in fact was all the food at this hotel. The beach was clean white sand and the warmest clearest sea I have ever seen. I could still see my nail polish on my toes when neck high in water! The sun beds were comfortable and even had these round sun loungers for two! There are a lot of steps though so you will be working off that deluxe breakfast. The rooms were gorgeous and the power shower was divine and after our boat trip it felt like heaven. Cocktails at the bar were better than any other we tried in Thailand (aside from Bangkok of course). Pricey but oh so worth it

You are surrounded by beauty, crystal clear water and sea/island views. The hotel is very relaxed, and you can enjoy just being there. Either in an elevated position or down at the beach. Its very comfortable. Staff are attentive and accommodating. Also very friendly. We loved every minute of it.

Lovely location with amazing hosts! The guest managers were superb and made the experience so much better. While the hotel is old(er) its still in great condition and hence cheap compared to other resorts. Def worth a stay

Hotel is great, the staff is very friendly. Everything at Impiana is perfect and the beach is most definitely the best one in Chaweng. It is very clean and the vue is awesome. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a relaxing vacation. The only negative aspect is that the hotel is somewhat far from the main street in Chaweng, you can use the hotels shuttle which is available 5 times during the day otherwise you have to use the buses or taxi which can be expensive. Compared to pattaya or other places in thailand the buses and taxis drivers are very greedy and they will do everything to overcharge you. You might want to rent a scooter or car during your stay for the cheapest transportation.

Room was fantastic. We had a double bed room (not Villa). Very big and comfortable bed, plenty of space around the room and a very nice bathroom. The room had everything, safe, water kettle, drink glasses, wine glasses, tea cups, wine/bottle opener, and mini fridge. The bathroom had a huge shower and plenty of space of two peoples toiletries. The balcony had comfortable chairs and a clothing rack (to hang swimming clothes). The staff was very friendly. Also, breakfast (by our surprise) was complimentary. This was a bit confusing since there was a sign at the front desk stating breakfast was 700 THB. The breakfast was great, had hot dishes (eggs, potatoes, bacon, pancakes) as well as the continental dishes (cereal, yogurt, fruit, bread, pastries). The only con was the staff's English. I missplaced a pair of sunglasses and no one could understand or seem to assist. This is more of a frustration at the time and should not count against the hotel. Other things to note, hotel is located ~15-minute walk from Chaweng main strip or restaurants and stores. I personally liked that since that part of town gets loud and busy. There was a very good restaurant near the hotel, Magnolia Cafe. We ate there everyday. Everything on their menu was great! I highly recommend staying here.

Luxurious clean comfortable rooms, well decorated. Close to the exotic beach. Footsteps away from the main Chaweng strip. Excellent breakfast. Lovely staff. Would definitely revisit this hotel.

Great place to stay, very well looked after by staff, clean, beautiful beach right at the front and shops the other side. Swimming is very shallow at low tide but easy to walk, Excellent clean and white sand. The cleanest beach and sea I've seen in Asia

The staff at reception were very friendly and welcoming. Our room was fantastic. We were in a first floor room near the pool. The room as spacious and spotlessly clean, very colourful and compete with a variety of complimentary toiletries, drinking water and a hairdryer. The pool is a great size with lots of sun beds and a poolside drink service. The hotel is on the beach in one of the quieter areas on cheweng beach. All staff were polite and friendly. Our room was cleaned daily and the cleaner was happy to give us extra things we needed. The hotel provides umbrellas for rainy season. There are cats that live around the hotel. They are very friendly and low risk due to the cat and dog charity that gives vaccinations in the island. We bought some cat food from a shop across the road from the hotel and fed them which they were very happy about! Cheweng road is very busy but full of good places to eat and good shopping. The Samui people are extremely friendly. The hotel has a tourist desk with sells day trips. One of which is a monkey and elephant show. We greatly regret going on this tour as it was cruel and very difficult to watch. If you like monkeys get the boat to go visit the monkey school in Surat Thani where monkeys are trained with love and respect. Altogether a fantastic experience and we look forward to going back!

I stayed at the Nora Chaweng Hotel in the middle of my month long trip through SE Asia. The room and staff were so much better than the other places I stayed at during my trip that I ended up resting here instead of spending time on the beach. The WIFI worked. The location was great. But if I were to give one more reason to stay at the Nora Chaweng Hotel, I'd say the OMELET bar! Your complimnentary breakfast includes having a staff member custom make your eggs to order. It was the best OMELET I've ever had in my life! Just outside the front door is a great travel agent that was able to book tours and plane tickets for us. Her plane ticket prices were lower than those we found online. The only negative is the bed is just as hard as every other bed in Thailand. The trick is to fold your comforter in half and then lay on top and cover yourself (like a taco).

Perfect location, beautiful resort and private pool and right on the beach and walking distance to all shops and restaurants. Very friendly staff I would stay there again. They even made up our bed with a nice happy honeymoon display and put us in a top level room.
