InterContinental Samui Baan Taling Ngam Resort

Although the resort is a little far from the airport and may feel slightly remote, trust me—it’s absolutely worth it. The moment you step inside, the breathtaking views make up for everything. The property is spotless, beautifully maintained, and offers the perfect atmosphere to unwind. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. A special mention goes to Mr. Donut from the reception team, who assisted us with our booking. He was truly delightful—gracious, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Since we were celebrating our anniversary, Donut went above and beyond to make it memorable. He welcomed us with refreshing drinks and couple wristbands, upgraded our room to a stunning ocean-view suite, arranged complimentary breakfasts for our stay, and even offered special discounts at the restaurant and spa. As we had arrived in Koh Samui well before check-in, Donut and his team thoughtfully provided a waiting room until our suite was ready. Every detail of their service made our experience extra special.

Excellent resort all round , high quality food , the staff were great and the property is maintained to a very high standard.

A truly wonderful hotel with a team that becomes an instant family! The hospitality in this beautiful hotel comes from the top down, greeted by the General manager Jane and made to feel so welcome, All of Janes team have the same wonderful attitude " nothing is too much trouble" The hotels pictures tell the story but the people make the experience. In Koh Samui simply don't stay anywhere else Thank you again to Jane and all the fantastic staff at the hotel. ( special thanks Fern and John )

This is our 4th time here, and it is a consistent excellent experience. Thank you to Dow, Jan, Lisa, Four, Chef Berm, the drivers Pete & Duke and all the rest of the amazing staff, who always go out of their way to take care of us and make us feel comfortable. This is truly our home away from home every time we come. The care and the level of hospitality is beyond anything we have ever experienced. This resort is an amazing place to relax & disconnect. We can’t wait to come back again!

I’m currently staying at the InterContinental Samui (ocean horizon suite 628)and honestly, I think this resort is underrated. It’s one of the nicest properties I’ve ever visited. The views are absolutely breathtaking, especially from the adults-only pool high up on the hillside where you can take in both the sparkling sea and the lush, forested island scenery. The resort layout is perfect – varied and not too spread out – with an efficient buggy service that makes getting around easy. There are several small pools near the villas that feel very private and secluded, plus a beautiful beach pool with great bar service. If you want true carefree relaxation, I highly recommend booking Club access. It made our stay feel completely seamless, with delicious lunch options, afternoon tea, and an excellent cocktail and canapé selection in the evening. We also stayed at the Ritz-Carlton during this trip (see my other review), but for me, that property felt too disjointed and awkward to move around. The InterContinental has a wonderful flow between spaces like the sunset bar, reception, and restaurants that makes everything feel more connected and easy. Yes, it’s farther from the action of Chaweng, but honestly, there are only so many times you’ll want to go there. The hotel provides a free shuttle service if you need it, so it never felt inconvenient. The rooms are very comfortable, spacious and practical. My only negative is it feels like a refresh of the room would be welcomed due its age, however they are still luxurious, well styled and very clean. Overall, this has been the ultimate relaxing getaway, with fabulous service and a beautiful setting. I can’t recommend it enough!
