The Boathouse is less than 10 mins drive from the airport. Staff were really friendly, especially the head chef who would regularly be in the restaurant encouraging you to eat more. The standard of food at the hotel was good but i would recommend getting out to the restaurants on the beach and especially at the nearby fishermans village, which is a short taxi ride away. If you are need of a break from Thai food i would definately recommend the italian night at the hotel which has plenty of fresh seafood.

The hotel and grounds very clean, however there was a new hotel being built next door. The building works could be heard and sometimes felt at the smaller pool, however at the main pool you rearely heard this. It did not effect our time there. The room was spacious and clean, good open plan with the bathroom having a window to the room.

In May 2008 we had our Internationational SKAL AAC meeting on Samui island. The Imperial Boat House hotel was the main congress hotel and most of the delegates stayed there so me as well. Also the major function took place there and I must say that I was impressed. There is no other hotel on this island which can provide such facilities and my accommodation was just what I wanted. I may say in the name of all dlegates that we enjoyed our stay and we all wish the Boat team much success and we will be back soon. Thanks also to the special SKAL rates provided, much appreciated.
SKAL and see you all there again soon.

We held a 2,5 day company meeting with 31 participants. The meeting was very well accepted from all participants and everybody felt very comfortable during the entire event. The local transport, rooms, meeting rooms, service and all the evening events were perfectly organised. Great Swiss managment mixed with the Thai friendliness and hospitality was an excellent recipe for our event. Special thanks to Manu, Benedikt and Rolf!

My boyfriend and i spent a week in ko samui and stayed at the boathouse. The hotel is wonderful, beautiful garden and a big frog pound. The hotel has two pools, both are nice.
The beach is right outside the hotel, very quiet and relaxing. Chong mon beach. The food is wonderful and cheap!
The building work did not bother us at all. You can se them from the beach and from some of the rooms, but it wasnt a problem.

Dogs are running everywhere, but they are friendly. Its lot of dogs in ko samui. We went om mister jungs jungel safari, very good.
We went to ko tao- and the marine park, beautiful beaches and nature.

The room was big. large bath and nice bed. Big balcony.DVD player, fresh fruit, nice staff.
If i have to complain about something it has to be that the shower was not so good. Difficult to get hot water now and then and the floor was a bit old. You could hear sounds when we walked on them.

Boathouse is a wonderful hotel, very relaxing and romantic dining right on the beach. If you want to relax, this is the hotel for you! We loved it.
