L'Esprit de Naiyang

Place was very nice. Staff's english was hard to understand at times. Played the same music over and over, which sometimes got really annoying. Really easy to get to the beach and to a (very small) town with nice beach-side restaurants and touristy shops. Absolutely need to use their car service to get anywhere else besides the small town though.

My mom and I stayed in a garden cottage. When we arrived it was raining and the staff kindly helped us get through the downpour. We loved the cottage, the proximity to the beach, the pontoon boat across the river and the exquisite peaceful setting. The design is really beautiful. Taking everything into consideration, the resort has the potential for […] being 5 star, a bit rugged and luxurious at the same time. What is lacking is more organization: there need to be more hooks to hang up towels, robes and wet items, more towels available in the rooms, amenities need to be checked: we had 2 ceramic shampoo containers at the tub, conditioner was missing. There was also a wet (from the rain) towel serving as a curtain in the bathroom. These are details that need attention. The lobby was beautiful except for the clutter of extra beds which could easily be hid with a room screen. Lastly, the breakfast is only mediocre. Appears to be a shortage of staff. We arrived at 9:30 am and the fresh fruit was all gone. Would have been nice to have congee, a traditional Thai breakfast. Dinner was also mediocre although the wait staff was very good. Fortunately, we found good dining on the beach outside the resort. We made good use of the DVD collection and reading material and appreciate the availability, especially for a rainy night. We are planning to return and hope in time the glitches are worked out. I would definitely recommend the resort to friends. Read more

They need to improve on keeping the pool clean and the other water around the complex clean as it was a real turn off. We asked for a late check out and was told no, but no one checked into our room as we waited until 5 pm to leave the hotel. The staff and food was very good but only other complaint was that they had the same CD playing for the whole […] week which needless to say was very tiring. Read more

Its a very new hotel so occupancy is low even on weekends. Naiyang is pretty far from the hustle and bustle of Phuket centre so if you're looking for a quiet, peaceful time this is certainly the place to go to. The staff were very attentive and the place was generally clean.

Our only criticism is the fact that you have to rely on a little barge to get you across a little river/stream to get to the beach and restaurants. After 10pm every night, the barge is unmanned and you then have to cab it home, when the hotel is actually only a walk away. Build a bridge people and I'll come back in a heart beat, the hotel, rooms and […] people were perfect, staff so friendly and accommodating. Thank you for a wonderful stay! Read more

The L'Esprit de Naiyang is a wonderful smaller resort, don't get me wrong. If you're looking for an isolated and quiet villa or room just off the beach with not much else to bother you, this place is paradise. I would recommend this place for couples who just want to get away from it all and get some romancing going. Now, unfortunately, if you're looking […] to explore Phuket or eat anywhere other than the resort's own restaurant, you have to pay huge taxi fees or prepare yourself for a long trek because you're in the middle of nowhere. Bottom line, the resort is beautiful and the staff are very friendly and highly attentive, but if you're looking to really see the sights prepare to shell out the cash. Read more

Booked hotel as last night of vacation to be closer to the airport. Trying to find the hotel proved a challenge for the taxi driver as the street address wasnt known to him and the signage from the main road was very poor. On arrival at the hotel there was no one to meet and greet us and we had to find staff to assist. The staff were very helpful once […] we checked in and we received an upgrade to a bure type room back from the main pool. The rooms are new and very well appointed with very good use of indoor and outdoor space. Air condition units in the bedroom and lounge. The toilet, bath facilities are adjacent to the main bedroom but are not fully enclosed. To get to the main town you have to cross the small stream using a small barge which is manned by hotel staff and walk about 100 metres to the small fishing village. The village has a very low key relaxed feel to it where you could really relax by the beach and let the cares of the world pass you by. We had a meal at a cafe and enjoyed a fish thai meal with the fish fresh caught earlier in the day. Used the hotel pool which is quite unique with the rooms situated next to the pool. At night the only draw back is the mosquitoes that you have to the fend off. The hotel staff gave us no warning about the mosquitoes or insect repellant so in the morning I had a few welts on my arms. During the dry season it may be different but during the wet season be prepared to fight the mosquitoes. Read more

We spent 5 nights here in late September in a Garden Villa room. The rooms are quite spacious and staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is only a 5 min walk from Naiyang village, although you do have to cross a small stream, but there are paddle boats and a pontoon to do that and it is no problem. Certainly for the rate we paid (special introductory […] rate) it was well worth it and a good choice. There are great restaurants and bars in Naiyang and I would recommend the very first seafood restaurant that you encounter on the left as you get to the village (can't remember the name). It has individual little huts as tables and is excellent. The hotel is only 10 mins from the airport and a cab from the airport is less than 200 baht. Only negative was the hotel would not allow outside cabs to come and pick us up to go back to the airport and insisted we use one of their cars as a cost of 400 baht. They do not offer an airport pick up or drop off service. Read more

Konzeptionell prima designed, in Detail und Ausführung nie komplettiert. Beispiel: die Pool-Bar braucht noch max. 2 Stunden Arbeit, um die Sicht auf den am Boden herumliegenden Kram mit einer Verblendung zu verdecken, aber niemand merkt's. D.h. weder werden die 2 Stunden Aufwand geleistet, noch wird das Zeugs je hinter irgend einer Abdeckung verschwinden. Wenn's […] keinen stört, ist alles okay. Personal ganz prima, sehr schwach mit Englisch, Manager sehr hilfsbereit, topfit in Englisch. Read more

Hadde 14 fine dager her. Hotellet har god standard, hyggelig betjening, god service og meget bra renhold. En elv måtte krysses for å komme til "byen" og stranden. Hotellet hadde en tautrukket "ferje" til å transportere gjestene over elven. Denne var annonsert tilgjengelig fra 7 am til 8 pm, men var under hele vårt opphold åpen til 11 pm. Ta med lommelykt […] da det er ganske mørkt gjennom skogen mellom hotellet og "byen" Etter 11 pm. Må en bruke taxi til og fra hotellet, 300 bath. Read more
