Impiana
Resort Samui, Chaweng Noi Beach
Was ok! Reception works good. Rooms are big enough, bathroom too.
I think the rooms need some attention. A Little bit of paint somewhere,
some new tiles in the bathroom. A little bit simple to take a shower,
whole bathroom is wet afterwards. Television canals fall off. But
the hotel is beautiful set on the beach, breakfast is perfect, very
nice staff! |

Location is great, staff is friendly and helpfull.Rooms are nice,
a bit small, but you don t spend much time inside anyway. If travelling
with small kids (as we did) consider that there are a lot of steps
inside the resort which is a bit of a hazzle. Overall good value for
money. |

What a wonderful holiday and what an amazing little resort. Impiana
is bang on the beach with it s own space. The property is truly gorgeous
and the staff very helpful. Although we had booked a superior room,
the one we got was not so impressive and tucked away in a corner.
We were immediately upgraded to a poolside room! Though that may have
been because we went during off season. The food and facilities were
great as well. I would give this place two thumbs up for a vacation. |

Impiana Resort Samui, Chaweng Noi Beach
This was a lovely beach resort about 20 minutes from Samui airport,
just after the noise of Chaweng. The staff were v friendly and helpful.
Rooms were clean and simple, bathrooms basic, clean but needing a
refit pretty soon. view of beach from our rooms, clean sandy beach,
small but lovely pool, restaurants overlooking the sea. Two restaurants
in the resort but also three or four others all v reasonably priced
within 1 min walk along the sand. Had to wait quite a long time on
the check in day for our room to be ready even though they had our
arrival time - bit irritating and hot after a long journey but the
only hiccough. Air con v effective. Taxi stand immediately outside
hotel - 10 mins taxi into town if you want more choice of restaurants
etc. Would stay again. V convenient for families. Also a chance to
practice your Italian - problably the majority of the guests. |

Impiana is great. Rates are a good deal and the service is excellent.
You should be aware that a deluxe room is nicer than a superior room
which is odd, but the superior room was quite nice, and very clean.
The cleaning staff was awesome and even cleaned bowls I made mixed
tuna salad in and the like. The English level of the staff wasn t
always fantastic, but they always figured everything out and were
always eager to help. The breakfast is quite good, and the restaurants
for other meals are also great, but the proximity to some other nice
restaurants on the beach is fantastic, as well as the Marco Polo resort
across the street that has awesome Italian food. The hotel s beach
front is great, but gets a little crowded during touristy times (as
in no chairs available). Some parts of the resort are showing a bit
of age, but nothing that will effect your stay. |

Impiana Resort Samui, Chaweng Noi Beach
The Impiana was a real retreat. It was just far enough away from the
Chewang center that one could feel like you got the best of both worlds.
The pool and beach area are small but well done. There are some uneven
walking paths but in general the area is well maintained. The rooms
were nice and well appointed but ours was filled with mosquitos which
actually seemed to be living in the room. Bring your own bug spray!
The beach was quiet and essentially only for our hotel but there were
sand fleas in the afternoons and evenings(not the hotel s fault at
all) but be warned. The buffet breakfast was lovely and the restaurant
was nice for the evening but there were several excellent places to
eat on the beach immediately next door. I would not recommend the
Thai dancing night, I think you can do better elsewhere on the island.
However, all of the staff at the restaurant and hotel were very friendly,
helpful, and service oriented. The spa was lovely and everyone who
worked there was very pleasant. I would happily stay at the Impiana
again. It was very relaxing and made for an easy and enjoyable holiday. |

The reception was gorgeous, building our expectations for the room.
If you are booking the standard room expect a rather old, smelly,
and extremely basic room with bad bathroom amenities. Also, I must
warn you: Be sure to get to breakfast BEFORE 10:30am. If you arrive
at breakfast around 10:20am, they would have already started to clear
the food. Even asking for coffee at 10:40am is impossible! However,
the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. |

Hotel was generally very nice with clean rooms, fairly good service
and decent setting. As with all Thai hotels, staff were a little reticent
about helping you outside the hotel complex, but otherwise all was
good. Would avoid eating at the restaurant as it s considerably overpriced
compared to the restaurants next door (where food is very good). Otherwise
- I would recomend the place to most interested in going to Samui,
but wanting a little space from the main beaches. |

Right on the beach, rooms are neat but not overly luxurious. Service
is good, and the breakfast buffet is good, but could be a little more
extensive. Is away from the strip of Chaweng, so if you want to stay
away from the constant action, it is a good option. Prices are as
per hotel with surcharges of 17% so adjacent beachside restaurants
were preferred for quick lunch/dinner, however a short taxi ride gets
you to the strip for more variety and entertainment. |
