This is by far the best place I have stayed. No only because of the hotel location, which is GREAT - its right on the beach, and a bit pulled down from the main road outside, so it is quiet but still so central. The restaurants are great, they have a very good selection of food and all the staff... More

This place was just great - so many bars, excellent and affordable food. The rooms are just perfect - spacious and also have black out curtains so you can sleep in. The location is walking distance from absolutely everything - shopping, convenience stores, restaurants, more bars, also not too far from the airport. The ocean was also amazing there! The... More

I had a great time stayin here for a week! I'm 27 and loved being in the heart of patong beach. Great music and service. Prices are reasonable but not as cheap as out on the street. Although u get to eat and drink where ever you like and enjoy the beach at the same time. Fire shows are great... More

Ark hotel is part of one of the busiest bars on the beach. It offers clean, modern rooms and has a fantasic pool bar, beach parties and lots of sun loungers on the beach. We stayed for 3 nights and had a great time. If you can stay on a Friday beacuse there's a big beach party. Downsides - check-in... More

I stayed here over Christmas 2012, walked around looking for accom before I thought stuff it I'll just pay the extra and stay here. Venue was a little noisy from the outside but inside the rooms wasn't an issue. Wi-Fi was reasonably good and the rooms were nice, I stayed in a juinor suite from memory. The bar on the... More

We stayed at Ark Bar for 6 nights. We aren't big 'partiers' but nevertheless enjoyed the experience. Although, if you are a big party-er you will love it! It would also probably be more suitable for younger single guys/girls. Generous cocktails can be drunk while spending a whole day relaxing poolside. Some pools are louder and more vibrant than others.... More

My friend and I stayed at Ark bar, a room each for 6 nights. Overall we enjoyed out stay but a few key things. Firstly. We are both professional musicians in Sydney and we enjoy different styles of music including house. Having said that, the percussionist/drummer was awful. The worst playing of those instruments that I have ever heard with... More

Its a good spot. Part of three (3) ark bar hotels right in middle of chewang. Ideally located close to Beach, Bars, Shopping, Restaurants, and pretty much anything there is to do in koh samui. It was perhaps (IMHO) the best of all worlds. Nice place, reasonable price, value for money. At one end is the beach, with chairs, bars,... More
