Nangyuan Island Romantic Vacations

So we came here for our honeymoon and at the time we booked it the reviews were quite good! And we got a really good price for 5 nights at the private pool villa. We were greeted with a beautiful honeymoon spread of flowers on our bed, and a full tub with flowers waiting for us. Here are a few of my thoughts after our stay! I think some of the other reviews, specifically the state of the rooms and the breakfast are a little unfair. I cannot speak to other rooms but from ours I understood the comments about it being dated… but I honestly thought it had a rustic charm! Nothing to be bothered about, and our furniture was sturdy enough! The breakfast had a great selection honestly! We stayed in many other hotels in SEA, and this was pretty standard breakfast. They had an espresso machine, and an egg station with someone that could cook your eggs any way you like. Like I said, I can’t speak to the other rooms, but I will say our private pool villa was absolutely worth every penny!!! We used the pool about 2-4 times a day, always refreshing and such a beautiful view of the Samui coast and ocean. It may not technically have a “beach front”, but you walk up like 5 minutes and you have a lovely beach right there. Our room was far away from the road so no sounds bothered us, it was very quiet. If you’re out late in the pools, you can even see some of the fire shows happening further away on the beach at night. A couple of slightly negatives… I thought the staff wasn’t the most help

Resort is very clean. Friendly staff from the lobby all the way to the pool restaurant. 15 min walk to downtown or take a tuk tuk for roughly 200 baht. Walkable to dining places and many places to choose from for a massage. Highly recommend staying here.

If you are looking for a private and quiet stay away, this is definitely a great choice. As the main restaurant was closed for renovations, we were limited to the two restaurants. The menu catered to both western and thai offerings, but one may feel that there was not much variety if one was planning to have all meals within the resort (eg. breakfast menu was exactly the same for all days we were there). Room was very comfortable and clean. The tub in the room offered some alternative activity on a slightly rainy day when the pool is not available. Small touches were appreciated - turn down services included local snacks which we got to try, celebratory gestures to celebrate anniversary and a birthday (eg. cake & sparkling wine) were made available complimentary. As the area is a little remote, I'm glad that the resort provided complimentary shuttle services to both Chaweng and Lamai. Also appreciated the hotel app which made communication with various concierge and hotel services very easy. Responses were super prompt. I recommend the massages at the spa - suggest to book in advance to secure a slot.

Absolutely amazing place to stay definitely upgrade the room so you get the plunge pool the resort was spotless and staff was very helpful with anything you needed

The staff here are amazing. All of them are lovely. They need a greater food and drink selection. Also they really need to knock down the unused huts near the beach area and build an infinity pool with a proper bar area there for bar snacks/dinks. This would pull in a lot of business from the beach. Need to resolve the entry exist points to the beach. The rusty ladder has to be replaced with a better permanent solution!

Brilliant hotel. Rooms were authentic, but with all modern needs. We stayed in a normal room and it was huge. The breakfast was good quality but the buffet area seemed a bit claustrophobic. Having the hotel on the beach is a great perk. With beach bar having great food and the staff are very attentive.
