Impiana is a nice hotel, it is not chrome, marble and glass it is a more traditional Thai decor. No high rise here just single floor blocks.
I can only comment on our room which was 406 an Impiana Suite, basically 2 standard rooms combined so with a lounge are and two bathrooms, it was nicely decorated but a little worn at the edges. We did have a plumbing issue but this was soon sorted.
Be aware that photos and video shown on hotels website are old and whilst the resort still looks like those images it is not quite as crisp as it used to be.
The hotel is one of only 3 directly on the beach and near to the heart of the resort so walkable to Bangla Rd, but the rooms near the beach do not hear traffic noise. However there is a large noisy beach club right next door and the rooms to the right of the pool area really hear the music, other rooms just get the base best.
So glad we didn’t book the Royal Villa as noise there would be a nightmare.
The main asset for the hotel is the staff , friendly and efficient, special mention to Kae and Mee on reception, Polly at breakfast, Yot at the pool bar, and Ohlea the pool attendant who really looked after our needs.
Pool Loungers are limited, luckily with our suite we got a private Pati with loungers.
Impiana is a great hotel for its price bracket and we would stay again.
Thanks to the team, we miss you already
