Holiday Inn Resort Samui Bophut Beach

3 Days 2 Nights Experience at Holiday Inn Bophut, Koh Samui Let’s start with the positives: - The staff were all very friendly — from the front desk, bellboys, to housekeeping. - Communication through the Hindigo app was fast and efficient. - The location at Fisherman’s Village is very strategic. The night market is just next to the hotel, while 7-Eleven, laundry services, and motorbike rentals are all within walking distance. - The beach is right in front of the hotel (although the water was a bit murky). - Beautiful sunrise viewpoint. On the negative side, the main concern was breakfast. The options for Muslim guests were very limited, with the spread leaning heavily towards Western cuisine. Honestly, I expected the hotel to include more local Thai dishes such as Thai laksa or traditional desserts, similar to my past experiences in Krabi, Phuket, and Koh Lipe. Considering the breakfast charge is not cheap, I was quite disappointed with the menu arrangement. It felt like Muslim guests were overlooked, even though there was a dedicated section for Kosher meals. Since the hotel already has data on guest bookings, providing equal treatment should be the standard. Would I repeat my stay? Probably not. For Muslim travelers, I would recommend considering another hotel that is more Muslim-friendly.

Fast check in. Room available early. House keeping to the highest standards. Safe for children and kids club is one the was made with kids in mind first rather than an add on later. Much entertainment included, film nights with pop corn stands and buffets, neon disco, and buffet breakfast with a wide variety of international food and treats however, this list is not limited. Special requests were always met and exceeded my expectations. The location is directly on the strip of Fisherman’s Village, and close to CoCoTams where there is a fire show each night. To Chewang area, it is a 15 minute taxi/tactic ride. VIP taxi outside resort cost 500tbh (€6) for 1 adult and 1 child. Finally, the nights sleep was bliss. I wish I could have brought home the pillows.

This is absolutely the best hotel for our family vacations. The kids had so much fun and everything they need is there. We will definitely come again!
