by Camilla Harner Smith Visit Date:July 10, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Koh nan Yuan is beautiful, but it depends on what time of year you travel here. In march the sea was better than in July. The tide seems to destroy the beach a bit and the water was not the same. Really nice staf. Rooms where ok, but fair cleaning. It s a beautiful getaway, especially when all the turists leave at 15.00 PM. I will really recomend diving and instructor Bree. It s good value for money,9800 bath for a diving course. You learn it from the beach.The island has a lot of cats. About 50 and some snakes, a few crabs, a lot of insects and sharks every morning...." |
by Shen Jinye Visit Date:June 12, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "This is the worst experience i had during my this trip to Koh Samui and I will never come back to live here again! Smelly restroom, and some animals kept making noises on top of the reef or deside (like someone always knocking at the door). And to be honest, I did not find the whole island nicer than Koh Tao. Plus you have to be ready for the mosquitos." |
by Chih-Ken Lin Visit Date:June 2, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Very nice location... Staying in NangYuan is a wonderful experience,the foods and drinks is expensive in NangYuan, if want to save money on trip, suggest can bring drinks or some snecks before arriveing." |

by Anna Loose Visit Date:January 4, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "The island was beautiful and our room very basic. Our bathroom had an infestation of Mosquitos which we couldn t seem to get rid of so I would advise bringing some strong repellant!The food on the island was great, and the snorkelling excellent. The beach wasn t so comfortable to relax on as the sand was covered in pebbles and coral and the wooden loungers were very hard!We had a lot of steps to climb to get to our room and there was a power cut one night so I would advise taking a torch!It was a pretty quiet when we stayed and not a lot to do in the evenings so 2 nights were enough for us." |
by Rabiya Visit Date:January 4, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "We had a wonderful time at this resort.Of course you should not expect a luxurious room since this place is in the middle of no where but we had the basics like water and a/c.Breakfast finishes early so make sure you arrive at their little restaurant in time.Plastic bottles are not allowed so we took our beverages in glass ones which once emptied, we brought back with us to Samui.There is no contact between the room and the reception and there is definitely a shortage of staff in the resort.The manager was not a rude person I had read in the reviews and come to think of it running a remote place like this which such a small work force is not an easy job.It has not been maintained since the last four years when it used to be cleaner.There is a lot of rubble and broken structures all over the place which is so sad.Despite all the the view from our room was breathtaking and the water and sea life around this place was amazing!The responsible people should take care of this fast deteriorating place and preserve its beauty.Beware of the sharp corals though and be careful while walking on the wooden pathways.This place is perfect to spend just three nights." |
by Jessica C. Visit Date:December 29, 2009 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "the resort was exactly what we expected - even a little bit better cuz I thought the electricity supply was only available for some hours. But it turned out to be around the clock. We booked the cheapest bungalows with fan w/o cold water. The only desadvantage for me was the bungalow was very far away from the beach. The staff told me only the room with air conditioner (2000 Baht) was clower. I would have booked it for saving all the way up to our bungalow.Generally speaking the island was very beautiful with crystal clear water. We enjoyed snorkling very much :)" |
by Clive Kotze Visit Date:December 25, 2009 Room: Service: Facilities: "I read many different reviews about this place, some good some bad, before I made my booking and there was one review that caught my attention and it went something like... forget about the miserable manager, expensive food and if you re staying in the standard accommodation, the hard bed and no flushing toilet...you are on one of the most beautiful places on earth... . I could not agree more with that review! Regarding the manager, if you are arrogant with him, he will be arrogant with you...greet him with a friendly smile and all will be ok from then on. The food is slightly more expensive than other places but this is because they have to ferry their goods to the island everyday, which will obviously hike the prices up...but in saying that, this place probabaly had some of the nicest food and nicest presentation of food that I experienced in my entire Thailand trip! For the standard room option, try and book A5, this will probably have the best sea views of all the rooms and only has a couple of steps to get to. I stayed in A6 which was a little higher up with a few extra steps but also had a great view. The room is very basic but was actually better than what I imagined. It has an air con plus a fan so you can chill the room up quite a lot. This island basically has 3 beautiful beaches to choose from and this place truely is a little slice of paradise! The water is very clear and perfect for snorkeling and diving. Another positive is that there are no annoying people trying to sell you stuff all the time so if it s peace and relaxation you re after, this place is it, but only for a short stay tho. I stayed here for 3 nights which I think is more than enough. Rather set your expectations a little lower when booking this place and then you ll be pleasantly surprised when you check in...remember, this is one of the most beautiful places on earth! Highly recommended and will definitley stay there again." |
by YI ZHU Visit Date:December 9, 2009 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Nang Yuan is a beautiful place worth to stay,but the hotel rating and other expense are really too high after comparing with other islands." |
by david taylor Visit Date:October 11, 2009 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "We booked one of the cheap chalets...big mistake! It was at the top a hill accessed only by rickety wooden steps, which were slippy and dangerous. The room was extremely basic particularly the WC.The handrail around our chalet deck was rotten. It collapsed when my wife lent on it. She was lucky not to injure herself. There was also a hole in the deck floor where a flooring plank had become loose. We complained and were offered another room which was more expensive. We were offered a 30% discount which we accepted. Although I think in the circumstances(my wife having had a bad fall)that a free upgrade would have been more appropriate.Our new room was much better but very overpriced." |
by MATTHEW E SCHWARTZ Visit Date:September 10, 2009 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Nangyuan island is definitely a perfect romantic getaway spot. It is, however, incredibly isolated after 5pm. There is only one restaurant at the hotel (which means only one place on the island), which serves decent food (meaning not awesome) at a slightly higher price than would be found elsewhere. The scuba and snorkeling cannot be beat (everyone from Koh Tao comes to Nangyuan everyday from 10am-5pm in order to do these activities). I stayed there with my partner in an A/C room, and I definitely enjoyed it for the 5 days I spent there. The sunrise/sunset is awesome. The toilets don t flush (you have a water bucket), but the staff is very nice and there are plenty of DVDs you can have for free. Beware - if you book online thru an agent you cannot get a diving course accomodation discount!" |
by Judy Dewil Visit Date:August 17, 2009 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "while the hotel was in a great location, the fan rooms were subjected to very loud generator noise ALL night. A friend in an a/c room did not suffer the noise.Also - very loud thumping music kept me awake after midnight. No hot water in the rooms - which should have been made clear on booking." |
