InterContinental Samui Baan Taling Ngam Resort

This marks my second stay at InterContinental Samui, where the open, sea-view lobby immediately evokes a comforting sense of welcome, making it a genuine pleasure to return. The Panoramic Ocean View Suite offers breathtaking ocean views, beautifully complemented by a spectacular bathtub that quickly becomes a highlight of the stay. With an array of beach and water activities available, the resort ensures guests remain both entertained and fully immersed throughout their stay. Air Bar stands out as one of the most beautiful bars on Koh Samui, offering truly spectacular panoramic views. The breakfast selection is generous, featuring a wide range of options to suit different tastes. Any shortcomings from my first stay were thoughtfully addressed during this visit, which is why I am pleased to focus on the positive aspects of the resort in this review.

The resort.has the most amazing views from all the public areas. The Amber restaurant has incredible Thai food really exceptional. Great attention to detail in the rooms which are very spacious. The beach restaurant has tables on the sand and a beautiful pool area with buggies brining you up and down from the cliff top part of the hotel.

Amazing property, staff and amenities for a family. Will come back again in future. Visited with my kids and they had an activity for each one.

My wife and I had our wedding ceremony and reception here 11 years ago at this resort and always had amazing memories of our special day. This anniversary trip back for 3 nights was our first with our 4 year old son to the resort and it was as magical as before but in a different way. While the property hadn’t changed very much, neither had the amazing service and kindness from the staff. Every interaction with the Intercon Koh Samui staff from check-in at the main hall with sweeping views to our departure day was intimate and from the heart. The resort was as beautiful as we remembered with the unforgettable cliff side views of the ocean islands and the pier running into the horizon. A girl at the front gate of the property named Fon (after rainfall) welcomed us graciously everytime we stepped into the lobby with a big smile. She would always kindly provide us umbrellas when it was raining and call buggies for us promptly for wherever we needed to go. This trip back was all about the kid, and we realized how child friendly and chock full of activities the resort was. Our son fell in love with the awesome air hockey tables in the inspiration room, as well as the full size pool table there. We spent hours at the kids club with the wonderful teacher Em and Nat who played UNO Cards, Jenga, and made kites with our son. Teacher Em also doubled as the water sports activities guru and coach for Muay Thai as our son tried kayaking off the shore and kids Muay Thai. We even did fishing off the pier one day with quality fishing rods and squid bait and ended up catching a fish and almost a crab. As a jack of all trades Em was doing everything around the resort as we also saw him give first aid to a paddleboarder and also take a couple on a sunset cruise on the resort speedboat. He even lent us a resort life jacket for our son to use on a snorkeling trip. We found the breakfast spread to be better and more diverse than when we got married here in 2014. There is more international selection of foods and also a fresh made kale/roast port/rice station and a fresh made pad thai station. Our breakfast server Natcha was so sweet she remembered where we were sitting each day and asked us if we wanted the same table daily. Marky and the whole Club Team took wonderful care of us every night at the Club Lounge for happy hour. The service staff there were some of the most attentive we’ve ever encountered. Pim and Lisa looked after of all our orders with grace and smiles, always looking to top up our drinks without our asking and asking us if we needed anything. Marky was there to greet us during the day and in the evening as well everyday. The Club Team also prepared a special video slideshow of my birthday with photos at different spots around the resort which they played in our room on our TV on our last night. They also delivered multiple birthday cakes and sweets as well as handwritten cardsto our room during our stay. We are leaving some people out as the entire staff was fantastic to us on this trip. Kudos to the customer service and experience team at the Intercon Koh Samui. While the property may have remodeled some rooms, upgraded to Dyson hair dryers, and revamped the menus, what really touches us on our holidays is the personal experience. The quality of the personal experience has only improved since our 11 year history with the resort, and that is why we will only ever stay at the Intercon when we visit Koh Samui anytime in the future. Many thanks to the hardworking and humble staff at the Intercon Koh Samui and all the people behind the scenes for creating such unforgettable memories for us!!!
