My husband and I booked to spend part of our honeymoon at this hotel, which is billed as one of the "best hotels in Thailand". Unfortuanately, this is not the case. We were met by surly and unfriendly security staff, and even the lady at reception reprimanded us for arriving "early" - at 3pm in the afternoon, and even though... more

We spent our honeymoon at the Baan Taling Resort. Originally we had planned to stay for four nights but we loved it so much we ended up spending our entire honeymoon there. We stayed in the honeymoon suite which was spectacular. There was an elegant living area, a kitchen and spacious bedroom with four-poster bed. One of the best features... more

This is our second stay at Baan Taling Ngam. We stayed here back in Jan 2004 when it was part of Le Meridien chain. That time we stayed in a cliff villa, this time with 2 kids and a nanny we were in one of the beach villas. This place is fine. Setting is amazing, food is stil excellent. However,... more

The hotel is situated on the top of a hillside.The view is breathtakingly spectacular. The bar and restaurant are located on this level and it is hard to drag yourself away because the ambience, service and attentive staff are such that who would ever want to be anywhere else? The breakfast buffet is the best we have ever eaten. It... more

Well worth the money, fabulous for a honeymoon, excellent food, beautiful setting and facility, lovely staff, excellent spa, and I'm out of adjectives, sorry. My wife and I remember this place very fondly. more

Nice hotel with great views over the sea from the room and terraces. Photos are accurate on the wesite. The staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. The hotel is located on a cliff so there are lots of steps and no lifts. Transport down to the beach is provided by golf buggies. The hotel is very remote from the... more

As a well seasoned traveller I did things the wrong way round and booked the hotel as part of our trip then read the tripadvisor reviews. I must admit to arriving with my fingers crossed after everything i had read.. but no need. The Bann taling is a stunning residence with intricate teak work and startling views. The staff were... more

Baan Taling Ngam was really a spectacular place, and was the highlight of our stay in Ko Samui. Even the basic room is terrific, and has some nice features -- a window into the room from the shower, plus a bath; a balcony (ours overlooked the gulf); the softest slippers; and lots of open space. Didn't feel old at all.... more

I just can't share previous review from August 8. Yes, Baan Taling Ngam is in need of a renovation but it is definitely not run-down. The property has discontinued they're affiliation with Le Meridien in February from what I was told but unlike any of my previous visits I must say that the service has become much more personalised rather... more
