An extended group of family and friends stayed at the Iyara during September and early October. We booked a room in the private deluxe wing, which was very clean, well furnished and more than met our requirements, particularly for the price we paid. The location is excellent, nice pool area, fantastic food at the restaurant. It was also the venue... more

This is worst hotel Ive stayed in for a long time. Ii holiday in Thailand every year and we pay around bettwen 3-5000 thb per night. Most hotels are of a similar standard for that price.

Stayed in the beachfront cabana room for 4 nights and was surprised at the general state of disrepair in the first room #807.

Stumbled on this hotel the first time I was in Koh Samui and thought it looked lovely and when I found out the room rates I decided I had to change hotels! The rooms are gorgeous and have a lounge area with an extra lounge bed to chill out. There are some cabanas right on the beach if you want... more
