THE HISTORY OF THE BOAT
SUITES For many years now tourists have chosen The
Imperial Boat House Beach Resort as the ideal destination to spend an
exotic tropical holiday in Thailand. One of the reasons for this is
the unique concept of the hotel with its strong nautical theme and most
notably, the thirty-four authentic rice barges. These were once fully
functional river barges that operated along Thailand's famous Chao Phraya
River or River of Kings.
As you may well know the old name for Thailand was the Kingdom of Siam,
a name synonymous with the spice trade made famous by such people as
Marco Polo. The principal means of transport in those days was by water
and so expansive were the waterways in the capital, that it was once
known as the Venice of the East. With the abundance of teak in Thailand
at that time and the many qualities of this wood, it was the natural
choice for the construction of the rice barges and continued to be so
up to recent times. Thirty-four of these working boats were transported
across the Gulf of Thailand to the island of Samui to take up residence
at The Imperial Boat House Beach Resort. Never having been sailed on
seawater before, the journey took its toll on these natural treasures
and painstaking restoration was required. After the exterior had been
completed work began on converting the barges into luxury suites.
The great attraction of the boat suites is their rich heritage and their
natural wooden construction, indeed they are the only ones of their
kind in the world today! The antiquity of the barges and their colorful
history are interwoven with the unique experience of staying in these
suites. You might encounter this during your stay, as the barges may
creek from the slightest movements in the wood, caused by changes in
temperature and humidity. At times they may even smell a little, due
to the effects of years of transporting rice to various destinations
along the River of Kings, which has engrained itself into the teak wood
exterior of the barge. Each rice barge is a porthole to a bygone age,
and we hope that these rare disturbances will not prove too troublesome,
but conversely, will heighten your appreciation of the unrivaled experience
of staying in a boat suite during your holiday on beautiful Koh Samui.

The Choeng Mon Beach is a little bit overcrowded with 4-row sun beds and lots of people in the nearest hotel. If you seek some intimacy and isolation this is not the right place. The hotel is very big and privacy can be hardly obtained during the day. As for the out-of-beach activities/evening outings this is a very good choice: the nearby walking street provides you with everything you might need (cheap massage starting from 250 Bahts, cafes and restaurants as well as some souvenir shops and family marts with cheap beer (30 Bahts vs 120 Bahts for Singha in the hotel). If you seek some nightlife activities or a stronger shopping spree Chaweng is 10 minutes away by bike (200 Bahts per day if taken in the walking street).

Выбрали номер в лодке, общая площадь которого больше нашей квартиры. К некоторым деталям можно придраться, чувствуется что номера не новые, но общее впечатление исключительное. Отличный пляж для отдыха с детьми. Наверняка в следующей поезке в Таиланд остановимся здесь на несколько дней. Очень рекомендуем.
I m afraid, out of the 5 hotels we selected,on our 4th trip, Imperial does come last!! The grading 3 should not say value for money -that is very deceptive and medium is more appropriate. We felt entirely ripped off for what we recieved.Choeng Mon is a lovely setting but out of all 5 beaches,certainly doesn t justify the price.We asked for a Pool View suite which at around 600Othb with a snippet of a pool view,is a total disgrace. One could have selected a characterful boat cabin WITH a seaview at 8000THB per night. I was so confused by the standard of room facilities, I actually enquired at reception whether they hadn t possibly made a mistake.The unfriendly reception staff didn t seem to be too sympathetic and informed me that of the 135 suites,we were in one of 7 select suites!Do yourself a favour by asking for a higher room with NO pool view.That way you might get a glimpse of the sea and in fact pay less for the lack of the pool view!!?????
The restaurant staff were however far friendlier,unfortunate that they aren t the welcoming bunch where the first impression is set!!!
Imperial does however have some nice facilities like a gym,large boat pool and a lovely small safe beach where one doesn t have to wade far out till shoulder height.
There is a lovely casual restaurant/cafe called Orchid Cafe, on the Main Road to the right about 100m down opposite Family Mart, that in fact help make up for the overcharging and left us feeling happy to have explored the area.
I think my opinion would be far different if we had paid half the price for what we got but unfortunately I feel done in!This is by no means PRIME Koh Samui, through 4 years of visiting it s unfortunate that a foreigner has to ditstinguish between worth it with ALL the bells and whistles and something so standard that costs so much more.
Good luck, we ll definitely be back to the area and beach but certainly not Imperial Boat House!

Отель большой и многолюдный для сентября. Красивая территория, много цветущих деревьев,2 бассейна. Отель расположен на пляже. Но с утра и до 4-х дня очень мелко. И море трудно назвать чистым. Завтраки в ресторане отличные, большое разнообразие и вкусно. Сервис в гостинице в целом отличный. Мы купили обратные билеты на Самуи на ресепшене. Нам предложили удобный рейс и лучшую цену. Бесплатный интернет, которым мы пользовались прямо в комнате, подключив к нему свой ноутбук. А вот уборка в комнате неважная, порой с ней задерживали до 2-х-4-х часов. Да и балкон за все время пребывания ни разу не убрали. Но особо испортило впечатление об отеле история с купальниками. Так случилось, что выезжая из отеля на Ко Тао, мы забыли в торопях свои мокрые купальники на балконе. Перезвонили в отель через 2 часа и предупредили, что вернемся за ними чез 2 дня. Но купальники нам не вернули, сказали, что уборщица номера ничего не находила. Мне лично было очень жаль своего итальянского купальника.

Great Hotel, good location although a quieter location but only 5 mins from Chaweng. Beach lovely, facilities good, staff friendly. Rooms very good and clean, good variety in complex, AC not work great but enough to keep it just about right. Reception and greeting very good, they even organised a car and booking to the local hospital when girlfriend felt poorly and had a fresh bowl of fruit next day with a get well card, nice touch from the staff and management. Highly recommend. The Boat villas look amazing and very original.

We spent a wonderful holiday at Imperial Boat House Hotel. The hotel is situated on the most beautiful, comfortable and calm beach of Samui. We really enjoyed our staying.
The building of the hotel is very nice, rooms are comfortable and clean. The air-conditioner works excellently. The bathroom is big and nice too. The balcony (we lived in Premier room) is spacious.
The territory of the hotel is very beautiful and full of greenery. There are a lot of chaises longues around two swimming pools and on the beach. The beach is perfect. The water is really hot, very clean. The sea is calm, without big waves. The bottom of the sea is sandy.
The staff is very friendly and helpful.
There are a lot of restaurants near the hotel. You can find them right on the beach or walking 5 minutes away from the hotel, on the street.
It s easy to get to Chaweng. We rented a car during our staying, so it took us about 10 minutes to get to Chaweng.
I recommend the Imperial Boat House as the best place of spending your holiday. We re going to stay at the Imperial Boat next time.

We enjoyed our stay at Imperial Boat House hotel and Choeng Mon provides really nice and peaceful surroundings for holiday, still not too far from Chaweng by taxi. We stayed in one of the poolside terrace rooms where the garden pool was easily accessible. The room was ok except looked a little old already. The service at the hotel was very good and the staff were very friendly.

Hotel with a nice atmosphere, a very nice staff. The boats need some renovation soon, but we liked them very much, except for the beds that was like sleeping on the flore, very hard. The brekfast and all the food at the hotel vas very good, but the Chalee restaurang on the small street on the right side of the hotell had the most exelent food and we recommend all to visit this retaurang. We had our dinner at Chalee 5 times during our 2 week stay att the boat house.

What a lovely welcome, with a cold fresh drink and a cold lemongrass smelling flanel to refresh our skin after long our journey!
Rooms were nice and clean and kept well or the 2 weeks we were there.
Free bottled water given to brush teeth with were a good help as we used it to drink from during the day around the pool or beach.
Pools were a little tatty looking although still welcoming so warm almost bath water temperature!
Fantastic spot to be in on the beach and thankfully not as busy mad and blowy as Chaweng Beach.
Pretty perfect flowers everywhere made a topic of conversation every day ideal to wear in ones hair!
Breakfast was plentiful and you could have eggs cooked fresh by every way possible, fried, scrambled, boiled or omeleted.
We would love to go again and we would request the same rooms (Premier pool/terrace ground floor} The rice boat accomodation gave a Thai feel and character but felts they would possibly be a bit warm and stuffy although may not be!
Thanks to all the staff as nothing was too much trouble. SAWADEECARR x

we stayed in premium room and were not disappointed. Rooms are spacious, immaculately cleaned and have more than adequate storage space for clothes etc. Breakfast varied. Location great for a quiet holiday - plenty of sunbeds for all guests whether you prefer one of the two pools or to sit at the beach area. If you want more variety for the evenings it s very near to Chaweng - you can book the hotel shuttle in and get a tuk tuk back or as we did, rent a moped which is very economical. A great place - we will be back !

We were a family of four and rated the Hotel most highly on everything. It really was a most enjoyable stay, although we were only there for three nights. We would not hesitate to recommend this hotel. As a family that wanted a bit of an up-market hotel and away from the normal tourist hotels - we were most happy. We would gladly go back.

We have booked after an extensive search in the internet for a suitable place for a family with small children (we have a 1.5 year old girl). The hotel met our expectations and more. We booked for 5 days and extended two times for 4 nights every time. The staff is very friendly especially to children. The pool (boat) has a big children s pool and the beach is beautiful. The atmosphere on the beach is perfect for families and the sand is soft and clean. We have booked for the special prices and we think that it is an excellent value for money. The regular prices are thought, to high where as the rooms needs to be refurbished. Nevertheless, we recommend the hotel and we will be happy to come back there.

Prior to booking at the Imperial Boat House Hotel I did a lot of research on various hotels on Koh Samui.My parameters were to find a hotel not that far away from Chaweng with good hotel transport to Chaweng.Also we wanted an apartment above ground level as a lot of people complained at other hotels re lizards and bugs etc.We booked a Premier Room at the Boat House and the room was excellent.There was a separate shower as well as a full bath.The breakfast was excellent and the beach was very clean with excellent sand and not stone as in some other areas.Our booking through the internet was flawless and my wife and I have no hesitation in recommending the Imperial Boat House hotel.

The Cheong Mon beach is a very beautiful and peachful beach, very fine sand, shallow water, really good for children.
