Värsta hotellet på resan! Hoppas inte att vi fick en nyrenoverad bungalow för den var sliten, ful och bjöd inget på något extra. Vi bad om både hårfön och vattenkokare för att kunna göra mat till vår bebis men de kunde inte ge os något av det. Vattenkokare kunde vi få om vi betalde 500 bath! Restaurangen var ett skämt. Dålig service. De glömde bort vår sons pannkaka och när den väl kom var glassen till slut, trots det fick vi betala lika mycket. Otrevliga och nonchalanta servitörer. Poolen var fin men det fanns inte skugga nånstanns på hela anläggningen för oss med med små barn. Hela poolområdet stank bajs från toaletterna. Det var så äckligt att vi inte klarade av att vara där. Vi lämnade efter två dagar, trots att vi skulle vara där fyra. Vi klarade inte av stället och då har vi ändå bott budget och var vana med billiga hotell.

When we arrived the Resort in the morning we were allowed to check in hours before normal time :) A nice and quiet place with bungalows from 10 to 150 mtrs from a beautiful and quiet beach. Some of the bungalows are newly renovated and others are not. We stayed in one of the latter and cheapest, standard bungalows. It was clean and more than good enough for us and our nearly 3 yrs old son. It was the bathroom that suffered a bit. The wallpaint was somewhat rare and all the water from the shower didn t drain properly, but everything was cleaned by the staff each day. The pools and area were nice and clean, good and cheap food, both free and payable Wi-Fi in lobby, nice and helpful staff. The bar and restaurant was nice, but they could have been more structured when ordering and delivering the food and drinks. The first day we were amazed by how they managed to be so unstructured, but it got much better during our stay. If so happens, just take it with a smile. You re on vacation :) Thanks to Le, Anisa and Joy in the bar, Mo in the restaurant, the chef and the other staff :) We will certainly consider this Resort next time. Maybe we will afford to book a De Luxe or Superior bungalow, without it being really necessary.

All by Internet and it went smooth. No problems at all.

Nakara Long Beach Resort is a very good location. We stayed there from feb.10-15. The room was great, had just been renovated and was a very nice room with a great balcany! The breakfast that was included in the price has a lot to be desired, not very good at all. Very poor choices and not very fresh. We ended up going elsewhere. There is no coffee pot in the room so you have to get coffee in the restaurant and you are not allowed to bring back to your room. Once you leave the breakfast area you cannot go back in. It is a very nice resort however the management our very cheap and nickel and dime you to death. Overall if you can get past the cheapness of the resort and just relax and enjoy your beautiful surroundings, then all is okay. We had a very nice time, we just did not let the little things get to us!

We had a great vacation at Nakara. We stayed in a standard bungalow with our two kids (1 and 4 yrs) and were very satisfied with the room (had one double bed, one single and a baby cot). The pool area was good, and included a big pool for children. The location of the hotel was superb (situated by the sea). The breakfast was great, offered different kinds of bread, egg, fruit, yoghurt etc. The restaurant was also good with friendly staff. Free wi-fi was offered in the lobby (in Phuket it costs 100B/hour).

I will not describe the Room, because the Hotel, first gave us an unrenovated Room, although we were promised a renovated Romm ! Sawadee helped us to get another, much better. Do not ordered if You not are garanted a renovated Room.
Reservation service:
Sawadee has been very helpfull, But The Hotel Manager didn t help them , when he in the first place gave us a very bad Room (Frontpage Villa, which not is especially cheap). We had to ask Sawadee about helping ! and They did so. Thanks.
