NORA BEACH RESORT & SPA SAMUI

"A very lovely hotel, extremely clean and friendly. The breakfast was fantastic, though we didn't eat in the restaurant in the evening - I'm sure it too is very good. The staff were very helpful (offered to call our next hotel in Bangkok to confirm our reservation!). The only thing is the location, it's right at the norther end of Chaweng, around a headland. This isn't a major problem, you can walk to the beach or catch taxi (THB200) or local tuk-tuk (THB50 per person) into Chaweng. I would recommend staying here." - Graham Loft

"This hotel is a good place to have a rest. The beach is not really interesting but there is a large pool ; the restaurant is not very good which is very disappointing in such a country ; I was upgraded in a garden villa and it's well furnished ; the service is reactive ; the spa is great ; As a conclusion, there is no bad surprise in this hotel and the rates are good " - yann leclerc

"Peacefull location very near of Chaweng main Beach. Big rooms, wooden floors, Roman style Spa, very friendly service, good restaurant, moderate prising, lush gardens, 1 year old place. Very much worth recommendable." - Timo Hakanen

"We opted for a garden villa which turned out to be a good size, was nicley done out and was well equiped. The resort was poorley layed out with the main hotel block overlooking the villa and having a direct view into our bathroom and shower. If you get a villa make sure its away from the main hotel block! Service was unpredictable with some staff clearly disinterested/unmotivated. Our room was not made up on one occasion and they forgot to give us toilet roll on another. Location is a good walk or taxi ride from Chewang and quieter for it which turned out to be a blessing. Others may prefer to be closer to the action. American breakfast included in rate was average at best. Wouldn't stay again unless rate was much lower. " - Robert Stafford
