Nakamanda Resort And Spa

The hotel itself is impressive. The environment is designed in a truly unique way, the abundance and diversity of vegetation is a miracle for a European. The location is particularly good. The view from the houses is magnificent. The restaurant and spa offer are demanding. The level was even raised by all the staff members with their kindness. We have never experienced anything like this anywhere else. Thank you for the unforgettable days we spent there. Special thanks to Kim, the front office manager.

We have just got back having spent 8 nights in an Upper Seaview Villa at Nakamanda and could not have had a better experience. The room was spacious and well appointed with a large bath/showeroom that included two separate sinks and generous drawer and hanging spaces. The restaurant food was very good with a wide local and western choice and the breakfast buffet was amazing with an extensive choice of foods to cover anyone's tastes! All of the staff were very friendly and were always ready to help in an circumstance. The layout of the resort is on a steep slope so there are numerous steps but with level areas between and the villas have been cleverly situated for maximum privacy. The resort is in a small village with a wide selection of bars, restaurants and shops for everyday needs. We were so impressed with our stay that we are already looking to return in 2027.

We asked our agent to find us a quality beach front resort hotel in Krabi. This was their recommendation and we are delighted we took it. From the moment we arrived ( efficient friendly check-in ) we were spoilt. Comfortable rooms/villas laid out so you have privacy and peace. Rooms are comfortable, spacious and a private veranda too. Pool and restaurant area is great - massive, easy to get into pool. Pool attendants are super attentive and will assist with fresh towels and moving umbrellas without being asked. Steps lead down to the beach and clear seawater. Food is excellent - fresh, good selection. Liked the full wine list. So for a relaxing and pampering time, this is a great choice.

Beautiful location, clean and spacious rooms, perfect private terase for relaxing outdoors in the evenings, stunning views from the pool, restaurant area. The biggest issue was the concierge staff ignoring our request! Our room was located next to the reception rooms! First thing 7:45, 8am was staff chatting, laughing , talking loud! We mentioned at the check in first thing that we are very light sleepers and we need to be able to rest ! Our request was completely ignored! Every single morning- even after we mentioned it again , was the same : loud, chatty and disturbing! Too bad …. Will not recommend or stay there again for this reason!

Stunning hotel, good service, excellent rooms, we enjoyed it very much, the hotel is located in a quieter area and there are good restaurants and massages all along the street, highly recommended

The Nakamanda is not just a resort.it is private, peaceful, friendly and personalised service. It is really a heaven for our honeymoon. Thank for all staffs taking good care of us.

Has the potential to be a very nice hotel is not 5 star hotel 4 star at most We were very disappointed with our stay we’d come from a 5 star luxury resort in koh samui and we did not get the same experience here on 1st arrival it was clear the hotel is very dated it needs a serious renovation to keep up with the other hotels in the area Rooms are spacious but very dated throughout a nice touch with the complimentary cans of sodas and snacks rooms were not cleaned thoroughly though we constantly had dead mosquitoes collected on the window ledge bedding wasn’t changed until I asked they need to clean more as you are by a jungle so you get a lot of bugs You pay for the location with this hotel on the beach with the easy access of the long tail boats other than that it really isn’t upto 5 star The spa is basic the breakfast was very basic Help yourself with one coffee machine no fresh pancakes or waffle stations there is one egg station that was good but bacon sausages were kept in those metal containers that collect water and we’re just soggy they had a good collection of local food in the morning but I did notice it was the same as what was served everyday I wondered how fresh it was pastries were not fresh they were stale some days Cocktails were nice and restaurant food was excellent Staff are very helpful There was a lot of rain when we stayed and the sewage smell was awful by the pool I did feel for the people staying in rooms by it They did try and address it with bleach The gym is the most outdated equipment I’ve seen and the aircon was never on I had to turn it on every time it took forever to work I gave up using the gym in the end Location outside is great with some lovely local restaurants which were very tasty Mother house was one and the beach restaurant and bar was good vibes on a night We played golf at the Sofitel in walking distance which is a small but tough course there is also a 7/11 near by which is handy There are a lot of stairs so if your not able to cope with that then this hotel is not for you The staff are very helpful and friendly We were a family of 5 non of us would stay agin purely on the overall feel of the hotel it wasn’t worth what we paid I hope the owner spends some money on it as it could be lovely

We loved our stay at Nakamanda. Excellent, attentive and very friendly staff. Great views from the lovely outdoor seating areas. Food was decent too and great beach out front. Yes it comes with a number of stairs, so good to beware of that. Would loved to have stayed longer.

The best rated place I’ve stayed in ! Discovering this gem isn’t easy as it doesn’t show up easily on portals . What worked Location ! The most beautiful sea side and island view that one can get in all of Krabi. Even better than neighbouring Dusit Super easy and quick booking via their WhatsApp. Spacious well designed rooms and amenities including a bath tub with a sun roof Excellent variety of breakfast - fruits , non veg and veg options and thai delights Supremely attentive staff - Alid and Mad to name a few Extremely empowered front office. Even a trainee staff is allowed to provide the guest some exceptions which is unusual We chose the Sala Sea view villa and it was the best view of my life. They have a large pool and a beach that one can swim in. Kayaking ie complimentary. I do hope they maintain this sterling level of customer service which was very inspiring for me as a guest and customer service professional myself. The only thing to watch out for is the number of stairs to navigate if you are travelling with anyone with mobility issues.

When staying in Krabi Nakamanda is my go to resort and has been for a number of years now. The resort is very clean and well maintained. The rooms are separate bungalows set in tropical setting and they are very well appointed. It is a pleasure to stay in them. The resort's breakfast is plentiful with a variety of choices. The staff are what make this resort. They are very friendly, very professional and make a stay here so enjoyable you dont want to leave. Surrounding the resort are various businesses, restaurants and a couple on the beach, 7/11 supermarket, massage etc. It is quiet and secure. I have all ready booked my trip there next year 26. Highly recommend to stay here.

Beautiful resort. Felt very private as each room is separate. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Good location with a short commute to Ao Nang beach area. There are a lot of stairs but it's what makes this place special.

The most amazing place to be surrounded by a beautiful beach and nature and the beauty of the hotel But most of all an incredible hotel with the most amazing, kind, service minded, beautiful and caring TEAM. Thank you with all my heart: Mr Alid, Mr Mut, Mrs Sun, Ms Noi, Mr Reesky Patrik Mr Champ The whole kitchen team The whole Breakfast team The spa team With our warmest regards, Andreea

Good, attentive and helpful hotel staffs. Room is in well maintain and spacious. Cleanliness is as expected. Only thing is lots of stairs so be prepare to do some climbing.

Loved our stay here, located on the beach, it has its own charm, tranquility and serenity to it. the staff is very welcoming and took care of everything. There were really good vegetarian options, and enjoyed having food by the beach! Definitely will visit again! Thank you for making it so memorable.

This is a difficult review to write and I have thought long and hard about the good and negative. We stayed two nights. The staff were welcoming and friendly. We booked a lower room and were upgraded to an upper. There are steps. Not just a few but lots and lots. We are pretty fit but in the heat of the sun even my husband said it’s too much. The room when it was built 21 years ago would have been stunning. It is quality. However it is aging now and time for a Refurb. It is clean and fine but not the wow you would expect. Lots of storage, two sinks. Strange no toilet door but If you are married as long as us he knows if I am not in the bedroom then don’t come in! Pool area stunning! Pool boy was amazing. So attentive. Water topped up. Fresh towels. However the sunbeds were so uncomfortable, really not good. Breakfast was pretty okay. Good choice. Good poached eggs. Again service excellent - manager kindly got us Guava juice when none available. The beach is incredibly beautiful. The setting outstanding.however there is a very pudgent smell of sewerage around the pool. I hope this hotel invests some money in the hotel and the staff keep their jobs. Worth mentioning that outside the hotel lots of lovely restaurants and bars. We will return to the area but not the hotel sadly

The pictures online basically catfished us. We had dedicated the last 4 days of our honeymoon here, but upon arrival we knew we were scammed. Upon arrival, the staff was not exactly rude, but not professional and not welcoming compared to the other hotels we visited in Thailand prior. It felt like we were checking into a cheap motel. As we passed staff walking around, no one greeted us or even smiled. The rooms were quite dirty, there were stains on the bed headboard and the tub, although beautiful looking, was sticky and oily inside and around it. The floorboards squeaked with every step. The cabinets were very clearly out of date. It was so funny because on check in, the woman told us "everything inside the fridge and minibar is completely complementary" as a highlight amenity of the resort, but when we opened the fridge, it was empty except for two water bottles. Another small point of feeling like things are over-advertised. We checked out the pool but the chairs were covered in stains and dirt. The area also smelled of garbage (it could be either the pool area or the beach area). The breakfast buffet was so poor, with the rice completely hard and cold, with some flies on the fruit, and with the bread stale. After just one night there, my husband and I decided we had to unfortunately loose the money we spent on this apparent "luxury 5 star" resort and wasted more money to book the Banyan Tree down the road so that our honeymoon didn't end terribly. We're so glad we made the decision to leave but so incredibly frustrated about additional money wasted. If you are looking for a luxury, romantic resort, please take this review seriously and look elsewhere. And don't be tricked by the overly edited photos of the site.

A nice classy old fashioned boutique hotel We loved the vast private rooms. The beautiful location the beach and the food. There are numerous steps so the place isn't suitable for children and people with reduced mobility. Also the beautiful garden is somewhat overgrown so very few room have sea view. We had to miss our last night due to a family emergency. The hotel was not willing to refund that night. Other places in Thailand gave much better service.

Wonderful Hotel, perfect location, gorgeous rooms, amazing staff, restaurant and food were excellent. The beach is lovely and the pool is stunning. Loved every minute of our stay and so did all my friends. This is a definite boutique hotel big enough to offer all the lovely extras such as the Spa ( with the most fabulous Healthy back massage with Ms Orn) but small enough so you get all the personal attention you need. Front of house helped with booking transport, tours and dinner. They couldn’t do enough for us. Therefore we are returning soon… thank you 🙏

We came here 7 years ago and had a great time. Our repeat visit was again lovely…. We had few grumbles. Nakamanda is a good choice for us.. Lots of repeat visitors we met feel the same. The location on the beach is fantastic, the pool deck is a really a nice place to hang out with a decent bar/restaurant attached. There are plenty of bars ands eats within walking distance. Rooms big and well-appointed if a little dated. We enjoyed seeing the monkeys wandering around the grounds. One big moan, the lack of control of smoking around the restaurant and pool. No apparent rules led to a free for all with arguments about people lighting up cigars even. A designated area would help. Special mention and thanks to Mut who kept our glasses full with iced water and adjusted the parasols as the sun moved (I know) and also Rorra in the spa who Mrs star raved about. Thank you everyone.

Loved it. Beautiful quiet and quaint

Much more beautiful and romantic and accomplished than the images on Nakaramba website portray. Food gorgeous ,location perfect and peaceful right on the beach. This beautiful facility deserves a properly presented YouTube video and enhanced images to do it the justice it deserves.

Beds very hard, drainage smell around pool

Food poisoning for both of us. Take "flying rabbit" with you! We had 5 nights there and spent 4 days recovering from separate bouts - only ate at the resort. Staff were lovely, just didn't have a "holiday". Good location, peaceful and near to other resorts for meal options.

This resort is located on a lovely beach. The food was excellent. The yoga classes were also great. The fitness room is terrible and needs a renovation. There are many stairs on the property, so good mobility is important.

Our family highly enjoyed ourselves at this gorgeous, clean, hospitality-focused, resort. You can tell they have a lot of pride in the resort and they aim to please their guests. The outdoor pool is enormous and beautiful, and the beach front is picturesque.

Where do I start??? I came here with my husband for my honeymoon and i absolutely enjoyed every minute staying here!! From the moment i entered this resort till the day I check out the ambience, the service, the location, the vibes and everything else was just perfect. I really need to congratulate all the staffs here as they are by far the most humble staffs that I have come across.. The way they always greet the guest, they way they attend you and the way they follow the instructions is amazing.. They have decorated my room beautifully, the room was big and spacious for 2 pax, they didn't fail to do room service everyday and the best part is they do it within a short time before we come back from our buffet breakfast.. I stayed here for 5 days and each day they had different menu for the breakfast and I have also tried their lunch and dinner menu which was just fine but a little pricy. The spa was also relaxing and the pool was big, also there is a beach at the pool front so if you are planning for a very relaxed vacation in Krabi then this is the spot for you...

We chose this property to beat the crowds and enjoy small and cozy feel of villa style living. We We booked two rooms for our family and then we upgraded by paying a bit extra to a Andaman pool villa. I have stayed in big resorts but this gives you a small cozy and yet personal feel. The room interiors are great and bathrooms have wooden furniture that makes you feel so close to the nature and Thai culture. It is very opposite to the big hotels but I was looking for this experience. The rooms are very spacious and clean. The daily breakfast was more than ordinary. Every day they had different Thai varieties and other international cuisine of foods. Some family said that the staff packed breakfast for them As they had excursions. I got sick and they sent meds right away. We had our flight at 6 pm and they provided us day use room after check out so we could take shower and my kid could rest. The hotel is away from crazy crowds and is a small and yet veery personal and comforting to be. I’d love to come back again.

We came in for dinner and got some of the best service, food, and atmosphere in our entire trip to Thailand. The views from the restaurant are incredible. We took advantage of their happy hour and came in around 5:30 pm. The caipirinha and the pink lady were fenomenal. The food was very good, with the shrimp green curry being the star of the show. Make a reservation to get an upfront table.

We’ve been coming here for a staggering 20 years now and it’s still a fantastic place to base yourself when visiting Thailand. Set in a quiet bay there are 40 rooms scattered throughout the verdant grounds. Each room has a bedroom area which leads through to a double sink and dressing area then through to a separate toilet, shower and bath tub. There’s also an outside sala or sitting area. There are a couple of pool villas with their own swimming pools but otherwise there is a massive swimming pool with a spa seemingly built into the hill side behind it. In front of the swimming pool is the sea. The restaurant area forms several levels to one end of the pool and along the sea front. For me the great appeal is the way the resort blends into the Krabi nature. It doesn’t feel false or out of place like most hotels do, its like having a second home in Thailand. The staff are all Thai including senior management and their sole focus is looking after you as a family. They are happy and that flows through to the guests. Many of them live together in nearby staff accommodation when not at their family homes. The view from the resort is stunning and changes with the tide. At low tide there is a huge sand area to walk across broken up by the occasional long tail boat seemingly beached, waiting for the next high tide. Opposite is an uninhabited island and one tree. Anyone who’s stayed here will know one tree. Just around the corner on the beach is a more traditional swimming beach otherwise when the tide is in you have a huge safe area to paddle or float in. Breakfast for us is taken by the beach but some people choose to take it up on the covered terraced area. In the evening we regularly eat at the resort and indeed people come from outside to eat here as well, particularly for special occasions such as marriage proposals or romantic occasions. It’s a truly special setting. The resort spa offers a number of treatments and like everything else here prices are very fair, particularly for a small luxury boutique resort. A one hour Balinese massage was THB 1,400 and there were often promotions running which offered a 20% discount. Treatments are provided in purpose built air conditioned rooms, not on a mattress on the beach. By way of comparison the same treatment at the nearby Banyan Tree resort is just under THB 5,000. The reception team can book any trips or restaurant bookings you were thinking of doing during your stay and are always happy to advise on local markets and so on. Longtail boats can be hired for the day directly from the beach. A popular trip is to combine Hong Island, Laolading Island and Pakbia Island at a cost of around THB 3,000 for your own private boat and 4 people. For me the Nakamanda balances comfort, tranquility, nature and affordability perfectly and there are constant tweaks and improvements every time we stay here.

Truely a luxurious experience. Every detail was taken care of from the basket of fruit at arrival to umbrellas and beach bags for use in the room. Spacious bathroom with a luxury tub . A personal porch for lounging amongst the tropical vegetation. The pool area was wonderful and the dining room was next to the beach. We had a private beach that was perfect for enjoying sunsets. Pictures do not do it justice. Only drawback it that there are lots of stairs.

This boutique resort was amazing! It's located on the quieter side of Krabi, making it perfect for anyone looking to relax without the hustle and bustle of Ao Nang. The service was top-notch, and I want to give a special shoutout to Mut & Bus for making our pool days absolutely perfect. The rooms were super comfy, though the furniture was a bit dated, and unfortunately, our bed was sagging in the middle. I hope they refresh the furniture soon, but I would definitely come back. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Perfect and beautiful place to stay with excellent staff!

Nakamanda is an established resort, probably around 20 years old but well maintained and consisting of separate houses, with upstairs and downstairs rooms (42 in total). This gives each room a lot of privacy and I definitely enjoyed the peace and quiet in this resort. It has a pool and direct access to the beach opposite a small island which can be access at low tide. The staff are particularly helpful, polite and friendly, with highly personal service due to the small size and it feels like a family run business, more so than the neighbours: Beyond Resort, Varana and Dilusit Thani (a bit further). It has a spa, with reasonable prices compared to the neighbouring hotels, but best value is always in massage parlours around the hotels. The Naga restaurant was excellent for dinner on the beach. I would stay again!

I would like to thank the staff for their exceptional service. My son fell sick during our stay and the staff quickly helped to arrange a doctor very early in the morning. They are extremely professional and diligent especially when it came to arranging activities as well. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Es ist sehr schön und sauber hier. Der Strand mit 2 mal Ebbe und Flut pro Tag ist für Meeresliebhaber eher ungewöhnlich. Sehr zu empfehlen ist die Ruhe, das freundliche Personal.

Absolute paradise. Amazing hotel in an amazing quite fairly deserted beach. This part of Krabi is just bliss - very quiet with a few very good restaurants but what more do you need? The hotel is totally beautiful, room is wonderful and staff are amazing. What more can I say - I extended my stay for the longest that I could before I had to get a flight to Kathmandu. If not - I am not sure I would ever have left.

Everything about Nakamanda is amazing. The location makes it a little piece of paradise - it’s so calm and relaxing and the views are just stunning. The staff are all so nice and kind. There are so many little thoughtful gestures, like the constant supply of free ice-cold water at the pool and meals, and the use of a day room if you have an afternoon or evening flight. It’s by far the nicest hotel in the area (which is a very nice area!) We would love to come back.

This is a nice resort really far from the maddening crowd and is a great place for people who likes a private beach and a need to chill. Service by staff is good but the main issue for me is the uncomfortable hard mattress and poor pillows... I had to buy a pillow in order to sleep well

We love it there! We would like to go back again every year!

This resort is pretty amazing , 5 star resort by a semi private beach . The tide makes a very interesting point of view throughout the day and at night it’s right at the hotel restaurant area . The pool is huge and very clean . We had breakfast which changed everyday and dinner which was very good and reasonably priced . The only suggestion I would make is to get someone to clean up at low tide the garbage around the hotel and the staff although very helpful were distracted as many would be looking at their phones . We had to wave to get their attention and the resort had few clients, missing the special attention expected at this type of hotel . We had a great massage at the spa . All in all I highly recommend this beautiful establishment for a romantic getaway or peaceful stay .

Common areas were all facing the beach, staff were attentive and food was great quality as was the spa treatments.

Fantastic property , Very nicely appointed rooms, quite and relaxing, great access to semi private beach, beautiful and clean pool , Perfect place for couples not a lot to do for Kids. Be warned the resort is built on terraces and requires a lot of climbing or descending steps and stairs , not for those with difficulty walking or negotiating steps and stairs. We Loved the place must go back again.

This is an wonderful hotel and the staff is great. However, the location is very quiet and far from ao nang,and it isn’t get around

The great restaurant sits right on the little bay with the small island across the way and the islands out in the distance was great. Sometimes fisherman passing through to test their luck. When the tide is out, the small island can be walked too. The atmosphere created by all the separated rooms on the sloping hill side was great. The room was quality and had all the features for comfort. Food was fantastic. Above all was the fantastic staff helping out all around.

Exceptionally Clean and the service was amazing. The staff could not do enough for you without being over the top. Beautiful place, the beach, the sea, the room was all very tranquil. We will definitely be returning when we are back in Thailand. Love love love this little gem

The property is beautiful and the rooms are comfortable and well maintained. The beachfront property sometimes sits right on the water as twice a day (10am-3pm) and evening/night high tide brings water to the steps of the hotel which is a stunning sight, allowing for even closer swimming and kayaking around island that forms in front. Most impressive is how attentive the staff are, keeping tabs on when we leave, what trips we did (we booked our own but they can help), when we leave. If arriving early or leaving late, they give personal guest rooms for with a lock to rest and leave things in which was certainly a helpful perk.

Chambre spacieuse, belle piscine et emplacement de l’hôtel à 20min en voiture d’AO nang. Plage très calme juste à côté avec restaurants au bord de la plage. Le point à améliorer serait le petit dej qui est assez médiocre

We stayed for nine nights in Nakamanda and loved it. On the beach, great pool, super helpful friendly staff. Decent breakfast, lots of restaurants close by. 39 villa style rooms in beautifully maintained grounds. Highly recommend

Excellent accommodation and service. Nice room and pool. On the beach with free use of kayaks. Many steps in the resort so challenge for non mobile. Lovely, friendly staff. Would return.

Perfect. great service, location, upfront beach, a beautiful resort. Would love to visit again.

Really great room. Really great bed. Very very lovely hotel. Good breakfast -the Asian selections were not that tasty but the western offerings were great. Great location for peaceful relaxation. No night life around there which is a plus for me! Great big pool. All of it was great. The service options are too expensive which is true at all resorts. But you can negotiate your own services yourself. Overall, great place. Will stay again.

5star hotel at idyllic location on quiet beach,consisting of about 20 bungalows built in hill landscape with each one having seaview,restaurant placed a few steps from beach,big pool with deckchairs,professional spa facilities- all conditions are fulfilled to spend a relaxing holiday.

AMAZING HOSPITALITY. QUIET AND RELAXING AND GREAT FOOD ON SITE. THE SPA WAS GREAT AND THE LOCATION WAS PERFECT FOR WHAT WE WANTED TO DO. WE WILL BE BACK AGAIN!

Staff was wonderful. Very attentive and friendly. Property was beautiful. Felt like I was in secluded oasis.

Brilliant hotel and excellent service!

lovely return to this gorgeous hotel

Beautiful hotel in an idyllic setting - everything about this place was perfect. A little distant from Krabi town but there is plenty to do and a number of good restaurants within very easy walking distance. Good breakfast and great service.

Beautiful hotel, stunning views, many restaurants by the beach you could just walk to. The room size was big with his and her sections and a huge bath tub. Was also provided with a beach bag. Staff were very helpful and always smiling. Only downfall was their brochure said there would be a shuttle provided for the Aonang beach and Krabi Town but they stopped that service.

Very nice big pool, peaceful by the ocean and great staff, who were always very attentive. Breakfast was good, and generally I would say this was good value for what we paid for it. Plenty of nice options for lunch / dinner (great value) along the beach by the hotel. There is a lot of steps going down to the pools and dining from the rooms, so if you're elderly or not comfortable with that, this wouldn't be a suitable place for you. The gym is very basic and has equipment, but quite crammed together. Some areas of the hotel feel a little worn/ tired and could do with a slight spruce and refurb in places. We stopped over at the Sofitel and Ritz Carlton up the road for dinner, and those are what you would expect for a 5* rated hotel. I would say by other hotels I've stayed in the region, this is more of a 4*

The resort itself if very nice. We have a 5 yr old son and although the pool and beach kept him entertained, I wouldn't necessarily say this is a resort for families. This is more for couples. It was very quiet (good for parents) but our child was bored. And it's a bit disappointing to spend so much money for your child to be bored.

Amazing room, Huge swimming pool. Beautiful location. Beach from photographs doesn't do it justice! Row of cheap beach restaurants on the doorstep. Staff very warm and friendly. Meals in the hotel restaurant were a little on the expensive side for what you got, however that's a minor mark on an otherwise spectacular stay. I would say also that there are a lot of stairs if you get a room towards the top of the hotel. Nevertheless the exercise probably did us both good!

Hotel is tired, worn and in need of a refurbishment. Breakfast poor quality and limited. This place should never have small luxury hotel of the world status. No where near the quality or standard described. Very disappointed given we are staying here for a special occasion

The resort was beautiful but the staff was exceptional. We loved our stay at the Nakamanda and enjoyed their grill night and happy hour at the pool! The location was a peaceful and quiet and we enjoyed the restaurants and stores nearby.

Beautiful rooms, lovely location on the beach beside a small island, fantastic service - cannot praise the staff highly enough. Good selection of local bars and restaurants nearby although hotel restaurant and bar excellent and reasonably priced. Overall one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in.

This is an amazing place for those looking to get away from it all. Located in a quiet part of Krabi that nonetheless has numerous restaurants and beaches nearby, it is a perfect place to decompress. The design of the resort—with large villas, each surrounded by plenty of greenery—made us feel like we had the place to ourselves. Service was perfect—warm, friendly, and professional, yet unobtrusive as is befitting of a luxury resort. Although some of the spaces are in need of renovation, the classic and spacious design of our accommodations made this our favorite hotel of our honeymoon. We cannot wait to return!

This resort is ideal for couples who love privacy during vacation. The villa is quite big with his & hers sink, large bath tub, separate bath & toilet. My complain here is the toilet doesn't have a door. If you have mobility issues, this might not a place for you since the resort has a lot of stairs and going from room to restaurant or spa or front of hotel entails a lot of walking and climbing of stairs. They have a very good spa for massages and the restaurant serves very good food as well. Breakfast is typically same everyday but with 2-3 new items changed every day. The pool which is facing the beach is quite nice too. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here except on the day prior to our departure, we lost an item inside the room - it wasn't really valuable but somehow it affected our perception of safety in the resort.

Amazing place. Perfect for a quiet getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. Accommodating and sincere staff who truly make you feel at home.

We arrived early in the morning. The hotel checked us into their 'Day use' room while our villa was being prepared. This was a nice touch as we could freshen up and rest. The staff were all very helpful and attentive to our needs. There are free shuttles on Sat and Sun night to Krabi night market which we took on Sat. Unfortunately the driver that picked us up from Krabi back to the hotel put us in danger by his reckless driving. It was unpleasant and very dangerous. I do hope he gets reprimanded for this as no guests should feel in danger of their lives. Overall this resort is a bit of paradise!

A true 5 star hotel. Location is fabulous right on a beautiful quite beach with the villas set back in in lush gardens seperated by elevated walkways. Truely amazing, only caution is for less mobile peoole as there were a quite a lot of steps from the lobby to the beach with the rooms between.

Small Luxury Hotel, very good staff, quite, high standards

Service was excellent, though the furniture could use some touch-up.

Previous positive reviews of this resort lived up to expectations when we arrived. Room 802 had a fantastic view and offered a really peaceful stay. One of the most memorable things about our stay was the warmth, helpfulness and attentiveness of staff. The resort offers four complimentary trips a week, two to Ao Nang and two to Krabi town. Great drivers, very courteous and safe. There are plenty of good restaurants in local area and on the beach front. Overall conditions of the resort was great, though we noticed that some rooms/ areas were undergoing refurbishment.

A very nice hotel on the beach. The staff is very accommodating in the best sense of it.

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights. The staffs are very helpful and friendly through and through. We stayed at the sala villa. The room is spacious and clean, two sets of wash basins and closets. And very comfortable bed. The resort is located on the beach, you can easily access the beach at any time. My husband and I took a 5min walk from the beach to a nearby beach restaurant around the corner to dine in sun set. The scenery was romantic and peaceful. The resort has canoes that you can borrow for free. Right at the beach there are private long tail boats you can hire to the islands. So convenient and hassle free. This is the perfect place for couples or a group of friends who enjoy a chill and relax beach life. We very much enjoyed ourselves.

The hotel is located a bit outside of Krabi, to join some tours, need to pay a bit extra transfer fee, however the surroundings are quite nice and quite, also hotel hs free shuttle to downtown(Ao Nang) on Sat & Sun. The hotel staffs are very kind and nice.

This is our second visit to Nakamanda. We had an amazing stay! As usual, we got our welcome drinks and checked in smoothly upon arrival. Staffs here was very helpful and friendly!! Thanks to all the staffs in Nakamanda for their great services. We were so thoughtful of the boy who send the birthday cupcakes to our room, thank you so much! Nakamanda was the best hotel so far, never fails to amaze us, never fail to impress us! We would love to return here again! Strongly recommend to those who want to visit Krabi!

Top service provided over my 4 days 3 nights stay at the resort. For the transport to and from the airport, they arranged affordable and hassle free transport. They also have a range of day activities they can arrange for you with their partners. My partner and I chose to do the Krabi 4 island trip. The half day trip was was provided by a safe and trustable vendor. Only disappointment was the poor weather that was beyond our control. There was also a complimentary shuttle on weekends to Krabi Town for guest. The layout of the hotel room was great. Service was excellent. Breakfast was average but the good service from the waiting staff made up for it. Perhaps one inprovement the management can consider is to consider upgrade some of the furnitures because they appear quite worn out. Overall, I am very satisfied with the stay and I would highly recommend it to my family and friends. Thank you Nakamanda!

We love everything about this hotel, especially the veranda. The staff are amazing too.

This is a great hotel with lovely rooms and bathroom area. Each room has own patio. Lots of steps in hotel so you need to be physically able to stay here. Pool area right on beach and well maintained. Pool will need work at some stage with lots of missing tiles. Great breakfast variety. Quiet. Good variety of restaurants nearby

Really nice hotel, well set out and friendly staff, but not 5 star. The room we had had a good view and was air conditioned. however the cleaner never cleaned the bathroom in the full 5 days we were there. They replaced the towels and items we used but didn't take away any of the used items so by the end of our 5 days there were a big collection of toothbrushes conditioner bottles extra. The breakfast room was disgusting only the hot food was covered up. You would think for a so called 5 star hotel they would know better. My wife poured herself some muesli only to see lots of small ants crawling around in her bowl, fruit fruit was available and the jams were in bowls where you had to spoon out how ever much you wanted. None of this was covered over and there were flies and ants all over the uncovered foods. The breakfast staff, although friendly, asked for our room number every morning; in other 5 star hotels we have stopped in, by the 2nd or 3rd day we were greeted by our name and the staff didn't need to ask for the number as they knew it. Beautiful, peaceful location but it does need a revamp. Many tiles chipped in the pool, tiles missing off the accommodation rooves and some dirty towels at the poolside.

Amazing hotel in a great part of Krabi with a beautiful beachfront. We could not fault this hotel at all ... amazing staff so friendly and helpful, good quality food and cocktails, beautiful pool, immaturely clean and comfortable rooms, great location!!! Really five stars all round!!!

Amazing rooms, great staff. The water levels were down, so the beach wasn't as impressive as I had hoped, but overall still a great hotel.

Beautiful Hotel, clean, peaceful, very friendly staff, right on the beach.

Excellent staff. Very helpful and hardworking. Traditional Hotel. Excellent breakfast. Rooms a little old. Need to be updated. However, the staff is awesome and they do everything to help you. Just very kind & honest people working there.

Great location and service, nice local bars, restaurants and other amenities also

Not a 5 star more of a 3 star but the service from front desk was 7star

Very nice hotel, very well maintained, good kitchen and friendly staff. Very good value for money on food and tours and cabs booked via hotel.

Everything is good. Resort is clean and well maintained. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Our room was nice and clean, with a shower area, bathtub and a toilet. All 3 have no doors as it was open concept. The sleeping area was partitioned from the bath/toilet, which was nice. Only 1 restaurant by the beach with no indoor seating. As the resort is on a small hill, there are stairs everywhere so be prepared for a bit of climbing. Overall no complains about this resort.

Somewhat disappointed. Too much climbing up and down. A bit gloomy. Rooms are nice but needs better maintenance

Wonderful. This is our 4th stay here. We love the place.

The hotel was awesome! Great facilities, great breakfast, great location, absolutely beautiful and lush resort. There were amenities nearby, great restaurants nearby, and lots to do in the ocean steps from the resort. The hotel also helped me schedule tours, schedule transportation, and there were lots of boats for rent nearby which made my trip so exciting and fun. I definitely recommend this hotel and will be back!!! 5 STARS FOR SURE!!!

The staff were all so nice and friendly which was really delightful. When we arrived, the room was not ready yet and a front desk staff Su gave us a little tour around the resort, it was really nice :) There’s free shuttle bus service to Krabi Town and Ao Nang Beach provided, which helps make up for it being a little far away from the hustle and bustle. That being said, it is definitely a good choice for travelers looking for a nice and quiet trip with all the amenities at your fingertips. Do check out the hidden bars along the beach and the restaurants across the road. The rooms were really clean but the beds are a little hard. Would definitely come back again :) Thank you Nakamanda for the great stay!

Highly recommended, picked it based on Hotels.com rating and was very impressed. The hospitality and service was perfect. On th beach and a great pool.

Loved our stay at Nakamanda Resort. Service & staff brilliant. Only negative was TV using digital set box,very confusing. TV needs to beupgraded to digital

We stayed in a deluxe room and it was lovely, with a great bathroom area and a huge balcony. Pool was great and service was really warm and friendly. We didn’t try the restaurant apart from breakfast (which was fine, but not brilliant) but it looked pretty quiet in the evening. Not because of the food necessarily, but if you walk out to the beach and turn right, there are loads of beach restaurants and places to chill and have a beer. Although, be prepared to be patient as if they are busy the kitchen usually will struggle to cope and food can often take an hour. The only note of caution I would give people about the hotel is the stairs. The hotel is built on a hill to allow everyone to have great views, but it does mean a lot of climbing. Mainly fine, but some areas are very small pyramid style stairs with no handhold. Not for the faint hearted. Great value for what you get and a fab stay.

What a lucky find...but don’t tell anyone!....we are already planning our return

This hotel and resort was truly breathtaking. From the moment they picked us up from the airport with cold towels and bottles of water to the moment we checked out, we were impressed. The amenities were clean, beautiful and so perfect against the incredible natural backdrop of Krabi. We were thankful for the poolside staff who darted over to shift our beach umbrella every 45 minutes, making sure we didn’t get sunburnt! The included breakfast was always interesting and we cannot day enough good things about the coconut sticky rice wrapped in banana leaf! If they have this out for breakfast, grab 6!! We are still having dreams about these. The rooms are lovely and so large. The bathrooms so immense that it felt silly to even leave! Everything was well stocked and the bottled water everywhere was wonderful. I participated in the Tuesday morning yoga class and it ended up being a private session, just me and the teacher. Seriously, take advantage of this! It was so fun! We visited the spa as well which was delightful. The ‘Relaxing Package’ was an aromatherapy oil massage that had us snoozing. It was so refreshing and you even get to choose your own oil! We wanted for nothing at this resort.

The hotel staff were very very helpful and try to help us when we have some problem in emergency case they tried to help us a lot we do really appreciated their kindness and will never forget about them without their help we wouldn’t know what to do also the hotel facilities and the atmosphere are very nice decoration that make us feel so relaxing we will definitely recommend this hotel thank you so much kob khun mak mak ka

The resort is located away from the hustle and bustle of Ao Nang but close enough for short taxi ride. The staff were fantastic and very helpful in making arrangements. Room was very specious and clean.
