Many Thailand lovers know Phuket as a place of fun and noisy parties. The city of Patong, the resort places of Karon and Kata are very popular among Russian tourists. But the northwestern coast of Phuket is less known. However, there is a unique place called Nai Yang. This beach is interesting because casuarinas grow right on the sand. They look like coniferous trees, only their needles are soft, like leaves. So the beach is perfectly shaded.
Nai Yang Bay is more suitable for a relaxing, relaxing holiday. There are wonderful sunsets and beautiful nature. But this is not the backyard of civilization. There are several hotels of 4-5 star status located in the bay. In this article we will talk about one of them - Nai Yang Beach Resort 4. Reviews and photos of tourists served as an informative base for our article.
Location
Nai Yang Beach Resort is just one kilometer from Phuket International Airport. But the planes taking off and landing did not interfere with the rest. The airport does not receive flights at night. Very close to the hotel we are describing is the vast Sirinat Park - a fabulous place, judging by the reviews. The tourism infrastructure on the coast of Nai Yang is well developed. There is a pharmacy, several shops, fruit and fish markets, cafes and restaurants. True, all this trading life is concentrated near the Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa Naiyang Beach 5.
Chic "five" is located on the first line. It cannot be called the nearest neighbor of our hotel, since between it and the Marriott is a small hotel called L'Esprit de Nayang Beach Resort. To the north, towards the airport, there are more hotels. But they are separated from Nai Yang Beach Resort by Sirinat Park. Patong and Phuket Town are about 40 kilometers from the hotel. Thus, tourists claim that this resort is suitable for those who do not suffer from noisy parties and discos. But this place cannot be called wild either.
Naiyang Beach Resort Phuket Hotel Description
The hotel was built in 1997. But do not be afraid of dilapidated buildings and rooms. The last renovation was carried out in 2015. Those tourists who have been to the hotel more than once (and there are quite a few of them) say that in the low season something is always being built or repaired at the hotel, and a brand new building has recently been erected. The territory of the hotel is quite significant - 24 thousand square meters. She isstretched out in a narrow strip to the road, behind which Nai Yang Beach immediately stretched.
The hotel has several buildings. In the middle stretched in a row of one-story, interconnected bungalows, classified as oriental wing and tropical wing. On one side of this row of cottages are two three-story buildings. Between them are three pools. On the other side of the row of bungalows, two-story buildings and a building on 4 levels stretched. The whole territory is very well-groomed, landscaped. Chipmunks, lizards, geckos run from Sirinat Park to the hotel garden, you can see turtles.
Categories of rooms
The lowest price segment in the hotel is the bungalow in the tropical wing. These one-story houses are located in the depths of the territory, away from the sea. But in terms of amenities and area (39 square meters), they are no different from the bungalows in the east wing. Small terraces of these houses overlook the garden or pool. The buildings are more expensive rooms. Tropical deluxe with an area of 40 sq. m located in the depths of the territory, in a four-story building. But thai deluxe is occupied by three-level buildings closer to the sea. The area of these rooms is larger - 45 square meters. m.
The hotel has 24 more Thai mini suites. These rooms consist of a bedroom and a living room. And mini-suites are located closer to the reception. Tourists who have the deluxe ROH number on the voucher, NaiYang Beach Resort Phuket are accommodated in the east wing bungalows (closer to the sea) or in Thai deluxe. Tourists recommend choosing the first option, since the houses have a very convenient access to the pools. Touristsreviews often mention that they upgraded cheap rooms to more expensive ones. But this is possible only if there are free rooms.
Room decoration
The bungalows have small verandas. All rooms in the buildings have private balconies. According to tourists in the reviews, the guest rooms are stylishly decorated, it is pleasant to be in them. Often mentioned is the L-shaped sofa, which is so cozy to watch TV. By the way, this latter broadcasts satellite channels, and three of them are Russian. The rooms of NaiYang Beach Resort Phuket 4(Thailand) have all the amenities that you expect to see in the "four". This includes air conditioning with an individual remote control, a mini-fridge, a safe, a hairdryer, and an electric kettle with drink bags.
The bathroom has a modern shower cubicle with a glass door. The maids during daily cleaning report cosmetic items, tea/coffee bags and two bottles of drinking water. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. Tourists praise its quality in reviews. But the rooms also have disadvantages. This is not enough outlets. So tourists recommend bringing a tee from home.
What tourists say about the rooms
Although travelers claim that they go to Thailand solely for the sake of the sea and excursions, they do not miss the opportunity to describe in the smallest detail the conditions of their stay at the NaiYang Beach ResortPhuket 4hotel. In the reviews you can read about a very spacious and comfortable king-size bed and manypillows. The air conditioner is installed so that it does not blow into the head of sleeping people. The refrigerator is quite spacious, as is the safe. The latter holds a laptop. But tourists say they left the equipment without a safe and nothing was missing.
In addition to the listed facilities, the rooms have beach towels. Their maids change every day along with the bathhouses. Tourists had no complaints about the quality of cleaning. The technique worked properly. Geckos sometimes crawled from the living creatures from the street, but, surprisingly, no insects - mosquitoes and cockroaches - were noticed. The maids clean up very quickly while tourists are having breakfast.
Food at the hotel
Morning meals are included at NaiYang Beach Resort Phuket. But when buying a ticket or directly upon check-in, you can pay extra for half or full board. Breakfasts are buffet style, while lunches and dinners are served a la carte. The morning meal is offered by the main restaurant Tortle Bay (Turtle Bay). But you can have lunch and dinner at The Sanda with Thai cuisine or La Romana with Italian cuisine.
Unfortunately, with half board, you must immediately specify what meal you pay for. After that, you can not change lunches for dinners. As for breakfast, the tourists were satisfied with them. A lot of time is allocated for the meal - from 7 to 10:30. That is, everyone had time to have breakfast: both “larks” and “owls”. During the meal there were always hot dishes. It was impossible to leave hungry from breakfast. Fried eggs, scrambled eggs, rice with sauce, noodles… Exceptof this, there were sausages, cereals, and juices. There were always three types of fruit and a lot of pastries on the tables. Regarding breakfast, tourists found only one minus - instant coffee in bags.
Where hotel guests ate during the day
NaiYang Beach Resort Phuket is built in the southern part of Nai Yang Beach. Near the hotel there are many cheap cafes and more expensive restaurants. The advantage of this resort is that you can go to different hotels and even dine in their à la carte establishments. Budget tourists recommend going to the market (15 minutes at a leisurely pace). The fish and seafood bought there will be gutted and grilled in front of you!
Tourists also recommend shopping at 7/11 stores. There are mini-ovens where you can warm up food, and machines with drinks and ice containers. At lunchtime, they go straight to the beach, and macarons drive up to the road to the hotel. These are such food vendors with portable braziers. Chicken skewers, seafood, fruit and vegetable salads and even soups cost mere pennies.
Beach, sea, pools
Nai Yang is little known among holidaymakers in Phuket. Tourists from Patong travel to the popular Katu and Karon, and almost no one gets to this beach, which is located on the northwestern coast of the island. Therefore, only the inhabitants of local hotels rest here. Only the Marriott office has its own dedicated area with sunbeds and umbrellas. Since NaiYang Beach Resort Phuket is on the second line (across the road),then its guests must pay for beach equipment. It costs 200 rubles a day. But many tourists report having a great time on a hotel beach towel on soft white sand in the shade of a casuarina.
Ebb tides are poorly identified here. Sunset in the sea is very convenient for bathing small children. The beach is protected by a rugged coastline from winds and storms. There is no biting plankton in the sea, but the water is not completely transparent. You can see the fish only at high tide. The hotel has three swimming pools. Their water is fresh and clean. The pools have a sun terrace with free sun loungers and umbrellas. As tourists report, it is almost always deserted there.
Hotel services and facilities
NaiYang Beach Resort Phuket does everything possible to make people with disabilities (including wheelchair users) feel comfortable here. Tourists with small children will be provided with a crib in their room at no extra charge, and the restaurant has a special menu and high chairs for feeding babies. One of the pools has a section with shallow water. But there is no playground, as well as a mini-club in the hotel.
In general, the hotel positions itself as a place for a relaxing holiday, and guests are encouraged to entertain themselves. But for this, a suitable infrastructure has been created. There is a gym, a tennis table with rackets and balls, for a fee you can play billiards. Like many hotels in Thailand, the Nai Yang Beach Resort has a small spa, represented by various types ofmassage. Parking at the hotel is free for guests. At the 24-hour reception, you can order tickets and excursions, call a taxi, fax or print documents, change currency, rent a scooter or bicycle, and leave things in the luggage room. There is a shop and a beauty salon on site.
Interesting places near the hotel
Since there is no animation at the Nai Yang Beach Resort, the guests were looking for entertainment "on the side". Fortunately, in Thailand, unlike Egypt and Turkey, you can freely go to neighboring hotels. The attention of tourists was attracted by the chic "five" Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa Naiyang Beach, which is located on the first line. Despite the fact that it has only 180 rooms, the territory of the hotel is huge. And the lion's part of it is occupied by a curved horseshoe pool. Rooms are located in 2-3-storey buildings and small villas right on the beach.
Tourists from the Nai Yang Beach Resort not only used the Marriott pool, but also visited its restaurants. If you want to treat yourself to a truly luxurious and romantic dinner, then reserve a table at the Big Fish Restaurant & Bar. This place is open until 1am and serves amazing seafood dishes. And the restaurant "Ze Andaman" specializes in Thai cuisine. Both establishments have both luxurious halls and outdoor verandas. Tourists also recommend visiting the beautiful Sirinat Park.
Excursions from Nai Yang Beach Resort Phuket 4 (Thailand)
Phuket is the largest island in the country and full of attractions. Tourists recommend to go on your own in the evening to the city of Patong. After all, being in Phuket and not walking along Bangla Road is an unforgivable omission. Tourists are also advised to go on boat trips to Koh Tachai and Khao Lak. A trip to the floating village promises to be very interesting. Tourists recommend bringing cash with you as pearl divers make fine jewelry. A set of necklace, bracelet and earrings can be bought for next to nothing.
Travelers also praise the mangrove kayak tour. But for such an adventure you need to be at least a little bit in shape. Excursions should not be bought at the NaiYang Beach Resort Phuket, but in numerous bureaus on the street. They offer the same services, but one and a half times cheaper.
Reviews
The absence of animation was perceived by tourists as a plus. In general, a calm audience rests here, aimed at a relaxing beach holiday. Those who can't sit still can rent a scooter and go explore the island on their own. It's a long way to go to Patong every evening. Therefore, party youth at the Nai Yang resort will be bored. Tourists note that the NaiYang Beach Resort Phuket 4hotel does not charge a deposit upon check-in.
