The hotel is great. This is my third time being there. I got the iyara suit. The room is big and the view is amazing. The only thing I didn't like so much is the restaurant waitres that they didn't where so nice at first but after 2 days they were nicer. The check in people were very nice and friendly great hotel for vacation and I hope to come back there sooooon.
Iyara Beach Hotel & Plaza, Koh Samui
Stayed here 4 times now. Great location for the beach.
Also just at the end of the busy Chewang drag, but within two minutes of being in with the busy shopping and bar areas.
Highly recommend and I will be returning again later in the year.
The rooms are clean and I always go for the Superior Rooms, they are just that bit bigger and better bathrooms.
Great breakfast buffett and food good. Have to say never eaten there in an evening as there has always been somewhere else to try outside the hotel.
Book it and enjoy !!
Overall is recommendable. Location is great as it situation just before the start of one-way street on Chaweng Beach Road. However, quite a idstance to walk to Chaweng center (though not very far and lots of shops and restaurants to see while walking). Main drawback was that wi-fi signal is not very strong for superior room which is situated at the back of the block(tucked far away from main reception/lobby/hotel restaurant). Wi-fi is not free though. During peak season, beach/pool towel are always 'finished'. Advise is to get the towel early! and keep with you.
my husband and i stayed here in August/September 2010
Good size room clean and good storage although no balcony we would have had to pay extra for one or upgraded.Bathroom was ok but shower overflowed onto the floor.
Staff were kind and helpful,and the hotel was in a good quiet position for town and beach.
We enjoyed our stay although linen,crockery and parts of the hotel were a little shabby and maybe due for an update.
