We arrived fairly late in the evening and appeared to have the resort to ourselves. Went to the bar for a drink and were the only people around. Breakfast showed us more people were staying. However it was off peak season so it was a great time to visit. No problems getting a pool lounger late morning. Staff were all... more

Booked the Imperial on recommendation of Flightcentre - great choice. It's a bit further out of Chaweng than some of the other bigger hotels but in a way that's a good thing as it's much more relaxing and less busy, especially on the beach. There's a shuttle bus into the centre of Chaweng every hour that costs about £1 or... more

We had a fabulous time on this two week holiday. We flew out on Emirates (upgraded to business class with points on first leg - superb) changing in Bangkok to Bangkok Airlines - this is a small plane with fish etc painted on the side so very unusual. The airport in Samui looks like a few coconut shys at a... more

The staff are very friendly the resort clean and the food just fantastic. Even the beach hawkers were great!!!! Just be prepared that if you are at the... more

We booked 4 nights at the Imperial on expedia for the first leg of our honeymoon in Thailand and Vietnam. The whole experience has been wonderful. When we arrived after an epic journey on the overnight train/bus/ferry combination, we were welcomed with a refreshing cool drink and towel in the lovely lobby bar overlooking the sea. We booked a premier... more

We stayed for 10 days at the Imperial and thought it was great. Nothing was any problem - check in was so nice with a nice cool drink provided - we paid for a standard room but thought it a little small (although balcony was huge) so we asked if a larger room was available - they upgraded up to... more

My girlfriends and I selected this place because we wanted to be close to the bar scene at Chaweng but not on top of it. While you cannot walk there, it is close enough for a taxi or public bus. I really started to appreciate this place once we rented a car and drove around the island stopping at various... more

We had an amazing 10 days in this hotel. We were after a serious beach holiday and this was exactly what we needed. Our room was very comfortable without being exceptional. The grounds of the hotel were kept immaculately. When they say the hotel is on the beach they really mean on the beach!!! We spent most days laying on... more
