InterContinental Samui Baan Taling Ngam Resort in Ko Samui

We loved this hotel and it was everything we hoped it would be after following reviews of it for 6 months. Staff were friendly and always tried very hard to be helpful. The Premier Ocean view room was very spacious and worth the extra cost. The hotel is remote but this is why we chose it, however the hotel does provide free transport to Chaweng daily. […] We would definitely go back to stay in this hotel. Lees meer

You enter the IC Taling Naam resort from the gate in the morning (if your flight is a morning one), and your car drives up the hill. You enter the reception, and then you see the most panoramic beautiful cliff view you would probably ever see. The coconut palm trees, the white sand beach, the lush vegetation.. You do your check-in, and you look forward […] to get in your room, change and get down to the beach. The you ask the receptionist whether it is safe to swim in the ocean or not. And you get the bad news. It is not possible to swim here. There are too many rocks, corals, that a comfortable level of ocean bathing is almost not possible. Unless you want to submerge yourself in the 30 cm deep of sandy part of water and sit down there for a while... One option is to get in from the platform on the deeper part of the ocean, but depends on your comfort level with the ocean. If you are in for the swimming, sea bathing, better to look for another hotel/destination. Other than this, you will find out that the service and English level of staff is very challenged here. Moreover, you will find out that the excursions, transfers that the hotel is selling (with outside providers) are not fairly priced by the hotel. We paid the hotel 2300 baht for an excursion that costs 1500 baht if you buy it in Chaweng city centre (same excursion with same company). the difference does not hurt, but the idea of getting ripped off does not feel good.

It was a truly fantastic experience. From our arrival until our departure, the staff took extremely good care of us, and went out of their way to help and make us feel welcome and comfortable. The hotel itself is not new but has been thoroughly renovated and the standards are very high, even for InterConti ones. There is an uncompromising attention […] to detail, from the toiletries (amazing quality) to the linen; from the food (I had the best steak ever at Flames restaurant - and I know about steaks, I'm from Argentina!) to the choice of pillow; from the cocktails, to the massages at the spa. The manager was very hands on, and interacted with guests; listened to suggestions and made himself available if needed. I also took two comlplimentary classes- yoga and Thai boxing, both thoroughly enjoyable. We would definitely recommend it and look forward to coming back. Lees meer

We spent 3 nights at the Intercontinental samui in April. The hotel is brand new, rooms are superb. We chose the ocean view suite which happens to be the best room category on the upper level of the villas. The beach front suites are not worth the price as they have no privacy and can be accessed by guests walking around the pool area. Food in the […] hotel is above average. We had dinner at a near by restaurant called Five Island which was superb. They come to pick you up and offer a drop off from the hotel lobby. A room away from the main building is recommended. The hotel lobby by the way has one of the best views overlooking the ocean. One small problem we faced was the wireless internet which never worked in the villas. The hotel is 45 minutes from the airport and there is nothing much to do in the area. We stayed at the six senses for another 4 nights and I would recommend the intercontinental over the 6s!! that too for half the price. Lees meer

Really beautiful location if you'd like a bit of peace of quiet. We were there for our honeymoon so we really enjoyed not being in Chewang. The shuttle's at the hotel very convienient but can get a little expensive. Hired a car, which is much more economical and convenient and thus making the location a non issue.

We had chosen a garden villa for our family vaccation in the second week of September. We booked early through Expedia and benefitted from great rates. The hotel had very thin occupancy and it felt as if we had the place to ourselves. The pool next to our villa was virtually ours and we enjoyed the privacy. The down side of low occupancy was that some […] services were not available but we did not mind that. Having said that all other services were prompt and efficient. The breakfast was basic and did not change for the entire week we were there. May be the hotel can improve on that. Otherwise it was fantastic and we had a very enjoyable time. Real value for money at the rates we got as the location, quality of rooms and environment is absolutely brilliant. We are regular visitors to Samui and know the island well and got around quite a bit as we had rented a car. Special mention must be made with thanks to Johan at the front office for giving us his personal tips for good eating places on the island. Thanks to him that we had our best Thai meals at Sabienleige (near Rocky's just before Lamai) and Haad Ban Po (just after Four Seasons) Real authentic "Samui food" as Johan put it. Unfortunately we could not try the pizza place near Bophut. I guess that's a good enough reason to return!! Lees meer

Nice hotel, staff very lovely but this hotel is in the middle of nowhere. It is 30/40 minutes to the nearest town so you feel very issolated out here.

ホテルの作りは感動的です。街までは遠いのでホテル内で楽しみたい方にオススメ。食事の料金は高めです。

Gecontroleerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling

スタッフのサービス、部屋、眺望ほぼすべてに満足だが、ビーチサイドのレストランのビッフェはいただけない。あまり多くない品数に普通な味、そこそこのワインをたのんだものの2万円超えは高級リゾートならでは？ 貧乏臭いがチェックイン前にビール、ワイン等買い込んでルームサービスで食事をするのが 一番安上がりな方法。どの部屋もテラスがあるので気持いい。

While selecting this hotel you will get quite a lot including good service, good food, nice room with a great view, BUT FORGET ABOU THE SANDY BEACH AND BLUE SEA WATER. Beach and sea very dirty you will be not able to swim there, if you want to swim the only option are 2 pools located at the hotel.

Eigentlich hatten wir das InterContinental nur als Ausweichhotel für 2 Tage gebucht, es hat uns aber so gut gefallen, dass wir unser eigentlich für Koh Samui am Chaweng Beach gebuchtes Hotel nach 3 Nächten gecancelt haben und wieder ins InterContinental zurück gezogen sind. Das Hotel befindet sich an einem Berghang, entsprechend grandios ist der Ausblick […] vom Hotel und den Zimmern (u.a. auf die "Five Islands"), Abends kann man romantische Sonnenuntergänge bewundern. Der Strand ist lang, von Palmen gesäumt und eher wenig bebaut. Allerdings ist der Strand etwas kieselig (hat aber auch feinsandige Stellen) und an einigen Tagen (ja nach Wind) wird auch recht viel Müll angeschwemmt (Red Bull Flaschen, Tüten etc. -> generelles Problem in Asien). Vor dem Hotel wird natürlich durch das Hotelpersonal gut gesäubert. Zum Baden ist der Strand geeignet, bei Ebbe ist Baden allerdings nicht so optimal. Insgesamt liegt das Hotel recht abgelegen, d.h. wer den Trubel von Chaweng Beach sucht, sollte nicht hierher kommen. Das Hotel bietet aber kostenlose Shuttle Services nach Chaweng (ca. 40 min) und Nathon (ca. 20 min) an. Durch die Neueröffnung als InterContinental ist das Interieur entsprechend aktuell (großer LCD, Bad mit schöner Badewanne und Dusche, je nach Zimmerkategorie natürlich auch Whirlpool...). Das Fitnessstudio hat ebenfalls Blick aufs Meer und aktuelle Geräte, die Laufgeräte verfügen über TV-Bildschirm, an die man auch seinen iPod/iPhone hängen und Filme/Musik zuspielen kann. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist sehr gut, es gibt sogar Sushi (sehr lecker, aber sicher für Europäer etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig als Bestandteil des Frühstücks...). Neben dem Restaurants des InterContinental gibt es noch die Restaurants der neben dem Conti liegenden beiden Resorts und ein paar kleinere lokale Restaurants... Das Angebot ist also eher dünn. Es macht sicher Sinn, zum Essen auch mal nach Nathon zu fahren. Wir haben uns super erholt und können das Hotel wärmstens empfehlen, da wir es wegen Lees meer

- Verbessern lässt sich das Frühstücksbuffet - trotz Bestätigung erhielten wir kein Nichtraucher-Zimmer (was zum Glück keine Rolle spielte, da das Zimmer frei von Rauchgeschmack war)
