has two very expensive hotels on either side and direct access to the beach and the main road. Chalets are not at all Thai style, the description 1960 s holiday camp applies. included breakfasts were by FAR the best we had. a great pool but nowhere near enough pool or beach loungers.

About the hotel:
En riktig besvikelse! Tråkigt, slitet, rostigt, trasigt ja allt man inte vill att det ska vara! Klagade i receptionen och undrade varför de lägger ut så finfina bilder på internet när ingenting stämmer med verkligheten. Jag fick svaret att det är klart man visar sina bästa bilder??Förmodligen är det så att det finns ett antal (fyra tror jag) renoverade rum och det är enbart de bilderna de visar upp. Om vi ville byta upp oss kostade det 400 SEK per natt. Då skulle det gå att spola på toaletten också.. för det gick inte hos oss. Det var också problem med solsängarna, de räckte inte till en bråkdel av hotellets gäster. Första dagen fick vi gå till ett annat hotell och sen gjorde vi som förr i tiden - gick upp kl sex på morgonen och la ut vår handduk, tro det eller ej men det var den policyn som gällde. Här ska jag aldrig mer bo. Frukosten var mycket bra och personalen trevlig.

About the hotel:
Resort is good value. The pool is a nice touch since we last stayed at the island. Serious lack of sunbeds for the amount of guests, both at the pool and the beach. All beds spoken for by 6;30 in the morning!!

Great location in the middle of Chaweng. We stayed in a bungalow. It was ok but a bit worn down.Could need a renovation especially the bathroom.
Staff was friendly and breakfast good.

About the hotel:
Photos of this hotel resort are decieving. It is in fact quite old and run down. Our door had a big gap on the bottom which allowed insects to crawl in and out. The air conditioner made a loud noise and horrible smell. The shower was mouldy, and water leaked into the whole bathroom each time we showered. There was a bug in our bed sheet, luckily it was not too big. There was a safe in the room, but it did not have a key. When we asked the reception for a key, she said we needed to pay 2000baht as a deposit. I would have thought this was a standard. heard a couple of other visitors complaining of the hotel and service. The pool was decent, breakfast was ok. The best thing about this hotel was the location. It is on the main beach of samui, however there are plenty of nicer places to stay in this area.
About the reservation service:
Booking service was good and reliable. No issues.

About the hotel:
My family and I had booked a Deluxe room for 4 nights. On the 2nd day, we discovered BED BUGS and their eggs on the bed (at room no. 506)...no wonder there were blood stains on the bedsheet...we must have crushed some w/o knowing. So we requested for change of room, and the hotel staff managed to upgrade us to a bungalow. Bungalow was ok.
On the last day when we checked out, the hotel staff was very rude to us. We requested for transport to fisherman village before transferring us to airport. Apparently, there were some misunderstanding during the conversation (which I don t blame them at all as I m quite used to communication breakdown in Thailand). What I m unhappy about is, I was all along polite, trying to explain to the staff what I want. But the hotel staff lost patience, even raised her voice at me and insisted that she understood what I mean (when she actually didn t). To me, that is very poor customer service.
I definitely will NOT return to The Island Resort again.
About the reservation service:
Online booking service through sawadee.com is ok.
