“Amazing place!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed at Ark bar with my girlfriend and a group of friends for two weeks, it's truly an amazing place!

Firstly each and every staff member we interacted with throughout our stay from the cleaners to the bar staff to the receptionist were all unbelievably friendly and helpful!! Having travelled quiet a bit through out Asia I can say that without doubt the staff at ark bar where the best of any hotel I've stayed in!

The rooms were quite modern and cleaned daily!

The hotel is directly on the beach and is a short walk to all of samui's best bars and clubs!

If you do decide to stay at ark bar be prepared to party, and be prepared for the accompanying noise from the nightly beach parties!!

If you come to Samui to party then Ark bar is the place for you!!

“Very cool - Make sure you're around for the Beach Party”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

We were there for a few nights with a bunch of buddies. We had an amazing time. The Wednesday Beach party is not to be missed! We came back at the end of our trip on a Friday and Saturday and it was not the same atmosphere.
Rooms are very clean. Food is good.

“Back again and loved it”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

Stayed again in Ark bar 3 and loved it again. The junior suite rooms are big and comfortable. the staff at front desk was always helpful. Perfect location right on beach and walking distance to everything. The ark bar restaurant has the best sea food and the waiters and waitress are always attentive. Good beach parties and good music. I will be back and will stay there again. Not highly recommended for families with children but on low season i guess its ok.

Room Tip: Rooms closest to beach are nosier if you don't mind the music until 2am.

“Amazing location and clean rooms!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

person found this review helpful

I stayed here just recently in Dec 2011 and it was very impressive. For the cheap price, I was not expecting much, however was very impressed to find a larger room than expected and it was very clean.
Bathrooms were also quite large for the price and also very hygienic.

Location is amazing - right where all the actions happens, however there were a couple of nights where we stayed in and had early nights (not many!) and you could barely hear any music or noise from the outside (apart from the constant fireworks surrounding Koh Samui).

Close to booking centers too to book transfers to other places (including full moon party).

Overall I was very pleased with this resort and if I went back I would definitely stay here again.
