Nangyuan Island Beach Vacations

The staff are superb! They do their best with the facilities they have. This is not a 4 star hotel--2 stars at best. It is in real need of a comprehensive remodel. Breakfast was tasty but very basic. Otherwise I didn't eat there. The hotel is rather isolated and travel to the north or east sides of the island took 45 to 60 minutes via grab or bolt. Again, 5 stars to the staff. But for the price, you can do better.

Excellent

This is a unique experience. It’s truly a beautiful place. Perhaps 8-10 other guests while we were there. We only spent time in the room to sleep. When we weren’t out on excursions we were sitting at the beautiful infinity pool with the most incredible view. Staff are super genuine and kind though a little young and inexperienced. Check in and check out needs some improvement. Beware of the very steep driveway. I would not try to do that at night without seeing it first in daylight and I drive mountains in ice and snow every winter. Aside from these minor issues it was an amazing experience. Five star luxury without the pretentious BS of a crowded, more expensive resort.

The view from the 4th floor of the ocean was spectacular. The pool and private beach access was fantastic. All staff were attentive and welcoming. The food although a bit pricey was excellent. The only con would be that the resort is away from town. We managed to walk thigh high around the rocks to Lamai Beach but you would need a taxi to Chaweng. The resort does offer a free shuttle twice a day to Lamai and Chaweng.
