The rooms. Brilliant design and very spacious. Service was excellent all round and staff were superb.

Too many stairs everywhere and not recommended for adults with any motility problems or small children. Breakfast buffet was a tad basic and the breakfast area was too far away from the accommodation. Way too many stairs from the rooms to the pool and breakfast area. In short, if you are not 100% fit , this is not the resort for you, otherwise , it's great.

This resort is beautiful! Rooms are great, restaurant and beach both fantastic and staff are so friendly and helpful. When the tide is low it's super easy to walk along the beach for other bars and restaurants near by. The street in front of the resort also has a few restaurants and shops but the real action is found in aonang beach area which was about 20min taxi ride away.

Location is a bit out of the way as it's slightly costly 20-30 min taxi to popular areas with more activities. However, we were looking to relax and chill anyway so wasn't a big deal for us - we went out twice (once to Krabi night market and once to aonang beach walk).

Everything about the property, its not very big but vry cozy, vert warm and lovely staff, soo humle, extra attentive to make u feel comfortable, big shout out to the spa and beach hotel staff, you guys are fab, right from pool attendant to reception, excellent hospitality, the are fouced on quality over quantity. Good simple breakfast, amazing food at rest by sea, perfect water temp at pool, spa is too good, even my 6 yr old loved and wanted to go back. Their ginger tea is wow too..i wana comeback to stay at Nakamanda❤️

Nothing much, jst a lil walk on stairs to rch room or pool side bt nothing major, worth the views

We were delayed due to an issue with our luggage at the airport and the driver arranged by the resort waited over an hour for us. All the staff at the resort were very kind and helpful.

Just stunning. Beautiful villas, stunning pool, wonderful by the bay but the best thing without question were the totally superb staff. Thank you so much!

Leaving :)

Very clean and well-maintained resort! Staff are very friendly and helpful. Never had any issues or complaints for the whole stay. The area is very green. The hotel is located away from the noisy and crowded places, but it takes only 18 minutes by taxi to get to the Ao Nang Beach where all the restaurants and parties are. A breakfast was ok; a food from menu is nice and tasty (but mayyybeee a bit overpriced). The same story with massage. Amazing but could be cheaper! You can get a boat trip right from the resort to different islands. The nearest is Hong Island (must go!).

Neither my wife nor me haven’t found any downsides, which could affect our overall experience.

Great location - 1st impressions of the inlet when the tide is out was a bit of a shock, but soon realised this positively adds to the outlook. Great watching the long tail boats. A mile of lovely beaches in either direction, with great swimming. Lots of bars and restaurants on the beach and in front of the hotel. Cheap taxis if you want to venture further afield. Rooms are lovely, big & spacious. A small boutique hotel. Huge pool and a reasonable number of sunbeds. Longtail boat trips from outside the hotel to the islands. This is a relatively quiet area, bars & restaurants tend to close about 9pm, hotel bar & restaurant open much longer.

the small individual villas were stunning. The staff were very helpful and the breakfast was good. especially the roti.

it was impossible to go down to the pool & get a sun lounger as people were putting towels on them from 7 in the morning. this really shouldn’t be allowed.

Very spacious, quiet and fully equiped upper villa surrounded by tropical gardens, with direct views of the sea. The villas are situated on a diagonal grid on a beachfront hillside, which makes it very pleasant and interesting to explore. Breakfast is excellent offering both Thai and western options, many of them cooked on demand. Restaurant and pool are in front of the beach offering magnificent sea and sunset views, and never felt packed with guests. The restaurant is a great choice for lunch and dinner offering an extensive menu at good prices for a 5* hotel.

We spotted a few problems with our villa upon checkin (ventilator not working, safe not being fixed on the wall, water pressure low). Although they were all fixed swiftly after reporting, I find such issues should not get noticed by guests in a 5* boutique resort. Another department that could use improvement is the English speaking competency of the reception staff. We found it hard at times to understand some of the otherwise very polite staff, which can make you feel uncomfortable in a foreign country.

Lovely and very helpful staff that go out of their way to help. Large, comfortable accommodation. Decent breakfast and nice restaurant for dinner. Very attentive pool attendant who constantly ensured you had shade or were topped up with water

The room was a little bit tired and could do with fixing up in a few areas (e.g. shower head as mentioned in other reviews). There was a persistent smell of sewage around several areas of the hotel. By the afternoon/evening this was really overwhelming in some areas. Not sure if this is something that can be helped but it would really improve the overall feel of the place if this issue could be rectified
