Amazing place ”
We booked it online on our first trip to Koh Samui. Before reaching there we didn’t expected such a place. Main Chaweng beach is 20 minutes walk through the beach. They have kind of a private beach which I found much beautiful and relaxing then the main beach. It’s the happening place of Chaweng at night with the best fire spinning and live dj till 2 am. Their staffs are very strict about everything which was the reason we enjoyed our stay as a family with young kid in this party environment. Thank god we booked including breakfast. They serve a set menu with very rich ingredients. The location is quite good. Everyone knows the place very well. You can find all kind of shops within minutes of walk. If you stand in the main road in front of the hotel you can find private taxi and Local taxis also. But the restaurants around Chaweng is a bit expensive. There is a 7 Eleven just in front of the hotel.

"Awesome Ark Bar"”
This is my second time visited Ark Bar, overall still very much like this hotel. Strategic location, 7-11 at walking distance, delicious foods around especially i like very much of street foods. Cozy atmosphere, comfortable room, just a little bit irritated with adjusting hot shower, but overall still bearable. Entertaining fire show, dancing and definitely awesome DJ. Of course Chaweng Beach the most happening beach in Koh Samui, you definitely can go to other bar nearby. Unforgettable drinking beer at Ark Bar swimming pool. Hotel staffs are friendly, greet you with their sweet smile.

Center of it all! ”
If you like to be at the party this is the place for you. We had a great time at the beach bar at night and the breakfast was excellent. Our room was clean and comfortable and the property is beautiful. However, if you are looking for a quiet night this not the place for you as you will hear people walking to and from the party into the early morning hours.

Great hotel if you like to party.”
The Ark Bar is essentially the best hotel in Chaweng to stay at if you like to party. There are 3 pools at the hotel, and you have direct access to beach, at night the whole place turns into a massive party. The rooms are big enough and clean, and the staff are very helpful. You're also right in the center of Chaweng and in the middle of more shops/restaurants and bars.

Always a pleasure”
This place is theheart of chaweng beach. Full of life, full oaf party, full of music and crazy friendly people. If you are into partying, you cannot simply miss this place. Be it a solo travel or with a group of friends. This resort has one of the best room options with a choice of staying near to the music (beach) or a few minutes away with no noise. It was my second visit in the last few years and I LOVED IT again. Surely the first place on my list to stay in Chaweng, Koh Samui. You can rent bikes easily nearby the hotel, laundry service is available, street shopping, bars, food chains and a complete central experience is ensured.

Great, fun place to stay”
As a pure hotel room Ark Bar was excellent. Hyper clean, modern, comfortable room. The complex is on the beach and my room was only a few seconds away from the beach. The food and drinks were really good. Three different pools to use - one part of a bar/club area. Highly recommended for a fun holiday.

Having spent 4 days in Lamai we decided to spend the last 3 nights of our Koh Samui holiday at Chaweng Beach & wish we’d have spent all the holiday here. Ark resort is a modern low rise hotel complete with beautiful rooms at a very reasonable price, 3 swimming pools & a big bar area with a wide selection of western & Thai food. Syracuse are a joy to interact with, will definitely stay here again on our next Koh Samui holiday & have recommended same to my friends.

Best party place and location in Samui”
I have stayed already twice at the resort always treated very nicely, all receptionist, security and restaurant staff always nice, bearing that is a party place and the crowd is obviously on a festive mode most of the time. Best djs, fireshows, parties, clean, beachfront, transfer services and good rooms. Thanks to the reservation manager and her team for the nice room and for make my stay a very pleasant one. I will certainly return. Only minor issues with Aircon not being strong enough in the room... But apart from that everything was great!

I love this hotel”
I will start with the fact that I love this hotel and always coming back. This hotel improved with the years and its great to see that. From good to great! I want to put my finger on couple things that hurts me as a guest. 1. Room 1406 has a very bad small, the shower is slow, we moved to 1407 and it was great thank you 2. Friday morning I woke up and like every morning I wanted to start with a mango pineapple shake, but was surprised to see you want to take 10%extra charge because of the party that didn't start yet! I think as a guest I'm supposed to get service in the hotel I'm paying for, and to have my breakfast in peace and quiet with no extra charge, More than a regular guest who come from outside. I don't think that is right to charge your guests extra on Friday. Give them the priority they put for it. 3. The lady on the tour section was rode, we close night before, a price for a car to airport and day after she asked for mor money

Great location, Staff is amazing!”
It is a party resort and you can hear the pool bar music every night from your room til 2am and we were at a top floor room furtherest from the pool, so not ideal for families. But you can’t fault the staff and the facilities and the food and drink. I would definitely stay there again.

Well recommended”
Really enjoyed my stay, the rooms were clean and comfortable and amenities were good. The restaurant was good, service was good and staff very friendly. Evening time on the beach was good with the exception of the never ending parade of hawkers attenpting to sell everything from pictures taken with lizards to cheap flashing toys and the usual assortment of cheap bracelets and fake tattoo's, I realise the beach is a public area but attempting to have a conversation or enjoy the brilliant fire show is constantly interupted by them.
