Travel reviews for Iyara Beach Resort & Plaza
Date of stay: Jan 26, 2013
Accommodation and facilities:
The hotel is in need of a makeover. We stayed for 3 nights. First night was very noisy in the room, which was not very smart at all. Staff did move us to a better room but it still had a rather tired feeling. Pool area is ok, certainly not amazing. Breakfast is ok, nothing special or amazing. Overall, we would not stay at this hotel again. For the prices it did not offer enough value for money.

Accommodation and facilities:
This is the most incredible resort with all that you could possibly need on holiday. The staff are so friendly and are so willing to help, it makes leaving the resort a difficult task. The facilities are all clean, the resort offers all the creature comforts one could want. Even in poor weather, there is never a dull moment at Iyara.
Reservation service:
I have had absolutely no hassles with Sawadee and I will definitely use this service in the future.

Accommodation and facilities:
My wife & I stayed 8 nights in Lyara Beach Resort, our first time on Koh Samui, & were very pleased with our choice. On our arrival we were offered our choice of 3 available rooms. We had booked & paid for Seaview Deluxe, which involved stairs. As my wife had some knee problems we chose a Deluxe Private room which was ground floor, same value, because unlike the 2 other rooms, had a walk in shower. The bathroom was the largest one we have seen through out our 30 trips to Thailand, featuring a large seperate bath & a long bench with double basins. In the bedroom was a long lounge chair for viewing the large TV. The staff from the Lobby Staff to the Restaurant, Cleaning & general Ground Staff could not be faulted. Wardrobe space was amongst the largest we have seen. There was a very good seafood Restaurant across the street & a short walk up a side street was a Bakery, Food Corner[good Thai & Seafood & draught beer] & a little further on a market for a variety of fruit. Overall an excellent choice of Hotel.
Reservation service:
This was our first time booking through Sawasdee, having usually booked through Royal Orchid holidays through our Brisbane Agent. We found Sawasdee Staff efficient & the arranged return Airport Hotel transfers & the accommodation totally reliable & would recommend booking through Sawasdee.

The hotel was great. The staff of the hotel were very nice. The restaurant of the hotel is very good and there is two singers that are playing at the restaurant every night and they were very good. For a great beach you should walk a little. I suggest to take the room with the view to the sea.

Nice hotel and good breakfast. Only complaint I could raise, and I dont think the hotel management can do anything about it, is the fact that the beach in front of the hotel was very poluted with what seemed to be oil from boat engines. We spent swimming time either in the hotel pool or walked along the beach for 1 hour to find clean clear waters to swim.
Reservation service:
Excellent .. as usual
