Thought the Iyara offered excellent value and we were very pleased with the Hotel. It was in a great location for the Chaweng strip - not right in the middle but just at the top of it, within easy walking distance of all the bars and restaurants. Room was excellent - nice decor, excellent bathroom and facilities. The view from... more

This hotel is situated amongst a shopping plaza. The rooms all overlook the plaza or the pool. Some have a sea view, most have double doors opening out rather than balcony. The room was really nice, low bed with a lovely bathroom. Best nights sleep we had on our whole trip was here. Serviced daily, great aircon, staff very attentive.... more

The hotel is clean and has a picturesque view. Its located at the end of Chaweng and is in the heart of the main Chaweng thoroughfare. The rooms are done in dark wood and provides a cosy ambience. The service is excellent and staff was helpful and co-operative. Last but not the least - the breakfast was awesome. We would... more

The Iyara is a lovely modern Hotel, situated on the edge of Chaweng Beach but close to the bars and shops. The attached plaza has probably the best shops on the resort. The rooms are spacious and cleaned thoroughly every day. However the standard rooms do not have a balcony, and I definately found that a miss. The pool area... more

The hotel is modern, the service is very good and the rooms are large and clean, however, there are a few problems.

There are no balconies (not good if you... more

The Iyara Beach is a bit of a mixed bunch. Rooms - If you pay for the deluxe rooms or bungalows which are on the beach then the setting is very nice. Unfortunately the standard rooms are overlooking a shopping arcade, this plays piped music and adverts from eleven in the morning until eleven in the night. The rooms do... more

We choose to book the Iyara for the last few days in Koh samui after looking on the internet and walking along the beach looking at hotels. The Iyara is good value for money, cheaper then the more expensive hotels along the beach but still well presented and good facilities. Staff on reception were v helpful and to our delight... more

The Iyara was definitely a great hotel for the price. We received a very comfortable room with a plate of fruit to welcome us when we first got there. Housekeeping did a wonderful job everyday and we noticed nothing to find fault with. The breakfast was more than adequate. The spa is pricey for Thailand but it was nice to... more
