The Intercontinental is in a beautiful location on the West Coast of Koh Samui with stunning views and sunsets.
The room was extremely spacious and was nicely decorated.
Staff were amazing and went out of their way to make sure our stay was enjoyable.

Beautiful location, high quality food and drink and brilliantly attentive staff. Lots of children during school holidays but couples or solo travellers can use the adults-only pool, which is empty and peaceful. Thoroughly recommend!

Inter continental Koh Samui is located in the secluded area called the Baan Taling Ngam beach. It's 50 min ride from the airport and it seems there's no neighborhood near by.
Also since the hotel is built on a cliff, to reach the restaurant or the beach, you always need to call a buggy. You could walk down a flight of stairs to get to the beach from the lobby, and it's quite fun as you have to pass a suspension bridge, but it's difficult to do so several times a day as it is very hot. So buggy it is.
Staffs are all very sweet but they are not very skillful at their jobs. Nobody comes to me first, I always have to go ask for things even when checking in! Also I had experienced difficulties communicating with the staffs in English.
Furthermore, the HandiGo app they make you download as soon as you check in, it's not very helpful as they don't reply to your chat for 30 minutes and even then, you some times experience difficulties in communication.
Finally, the hotel is known for its great veiw of the sunset. However, I stayed three nights and didn't get to see the sunset, not even once!, due to the weather. So if you are choosing this hotel for the sunset, check with the weather before you come.

It was a great experience stay at intercontinental Samui. Great staff and service, the location seems quite far from the urban areas such as fisherman’s village but hotel has shuttle bus three rounds a day to go to those places. And if you just wanna stay in the hotel and chill, it was actually a great location, quiet, great sea view, perfect sunset! You have to see the sunset on the beach there! Breakfast was just ok, coffee was good though. Overall it was worth it.

Warm hospitality and wondeful experience, thoughtful service - a special mention of the dining experience, they remembered my child’s favourite snack. every staff were friendly and helpful, from daily breakfast and dining, spa treatments, room service and concierge. The view was beautiful and we had a lovely time.

The hotel is secluded which is great but also requires for transportation to anything outside the hotel. If you want to eat in a local restaurant rather than the hotel it's a 30 min Car Ride away. As long as that is acceptable to you no issue but if you like to go outside the hotel from time to time this can be an issue. There is nothing around the hotel area that can be deemed as acceptable, at least not what we have been able to check out.

A stunning resort. The Ocean view room was perfect, private and quiet. There are several pools, each with its own charms. The beach and sea swimming are not the best, but I did see some people swimming and snorkeling. The best things about this resort are the location and, most important, the people who work there. Friendly and kind - I was very impressed with the dining room staff, in particular. But everyone I encountered was professional, helpful, and pleasant. As others have said, there’s not a lot nearby the resort but it is very self-contained. I was solo and enjoyed four days of pure peace and down time. I will say that the Thai food on offer in the all-day dining room was uninspired and somewhat expensive after Bangkok. But that is my only criticism.

we had a pleasant stay an the Intercontinental. the staff are excellent and friendly. food was also very good. our only real issue was the room size of our classic room ocean view. its promoted as being 760 sq feet but when we got there we were shocked how small it was. thats because they fail to mention that 1/3rd of the floor area is a terrace which really cant be used for most of the day as it gets full sun and no shade. the room is more 500 sq feet with very little wardrobe space as they had to set up clothes racks for us.

Resort is located on secluded beach, the good of which is privacy and the bad is that hotel is severely over-priced (with no alternatives to buy anything). Expect New York City prices, drinks at $15 each (never a happy hour), meals at $30 per person. Also, the resort requires vigorous exercise, with 300 stairs up front the beach to the top of the resort. Good news is that the resort is Covid-careful, well run in that important respect.ps: We paid $900 nightly for two-bedroom family villa. A walk down the beach revealed at small resort with similar rooms at a tiny fraction of that price.

Amazing location and service. Extremely isolated from the hustle and bustle of Thailand which makes it ideal for a family holiday. We were there during Covid 19 virus so it was very quiet so did lack some 'atmosphere' but still very peaceful.

Excellent property with very friendly and attentive staff. We stayed in a 2 bed club villa and made full use of the facilities - including the Lounge, the restaurants, various pools, the Spa and also hired the speedboat for half a day.

Overall speaking this is a very pleasant journey. We stayed at a two bedroom villa, kids love the spacious room. We have enjoyed two in villa dining. Kids love the kids club sooo much, the activities there kept them busy and indulge with fun.The really down side was the last two days during our stay, the hotel hosted an activity with a private function ( some sort of fashion show). We were bar to access to some areas, those VIPs are treated differently, they are the VIPs and other guests become minority. We were unable to call buggies or it took us much time, this made it didn’t want to leave the room as we afraid we needed to wait for a long time for buggy. The loud music at night woke us up. We were unable to have lunch at the main restaurant on one day. Though the duty manager has tried her best to explain and gave us a bottle of free wine as a token of our inconvenience. I guess next time the hotel should consider to shut down the hotel for guest when they hold function. I might hesitate to come back again due to this experience.

The hotel is beautiful and the service is perfect. However, it is a bit isolated from almost everything so you need a car or a scooter to get in touch with the real Koh Samui and locals.
Prices for restaurants and bars at the hotel as well as all non-complementary activities are just too expansive (they charge London prices) therefore you feel a bit trapped given the isolation of the hotel.

The view from the hotel and the beach were just perfect. It was a pleasant stay overall. But communication with staff was sometimes difficult as most staff at the hotel are not good at English; it took us too much time just to communicate our needs. And since the hotel is at a very secluded location, transport to the center is not very convenient, and the taxis from the hotel feel like a rip-off, especially when one of the drivers charged us more and rushed us to our next destination before communicating properly about it.

Amazing views and nice facilities for a relaxing break. Food in the restaurant was good but very very expensive - no other real alternatives close by. Adults only pool being used by children a lot of the time. Friendly staff.

Intercontinental is a trustworthy hotel brand, so the service was of high quality, as expected. Overall, more than satisfactory if not excellent.
Choice of toiletry was good. Harnn. In-room free teas were TWG. Good eye. Seafood buffet was excellent on the grill side. But the buffet selections ended up overcooked in the warmer presumably due to low demand. There were only 4 tables occupied. Nonetheless, in that case, there must have been a way to manage the freshness of the food. One problem here as the cost of the buffet was 2,990THB ++ per person. At this rate, I would expect an impeccable level of quality.
Overall, a great hotel. The infinity pool was my favorite. I swam so much there. Kids under 12 were not allowed there which was very nice.
