The west coast of Thailand's largest island, Phuket, is full of resorts. All of them, starting from Patong, are very noisy. Therefore, tourists have an opinion that for peace and tranquility you should go to small islands such as Phi Phi, Koh Phangan or Koh Tao. But few people know that the southern coast of Phuket is a natural paradise. Do not think that all the beautiful beaches are concentrated exclusively on the western side of the island.
In the south there is Nai Harn, impeccable in every respect. This is exactly the place that a tourist looking for solitude and tranquility in the bosom of tropical nature needs. Nai Harn Beach is still a little "inhabited" and spoiled by civilization. Only a few hotels have been built here, and we will tell you about one of them today. Meet The Nai Harn Phuket 5. Photos of the territory, rooms and the beach, a description of the hotel and reviews of tourists can be found in this article.
History of the hotel
If you start searching the Internet for information about The Nai Harn Phuket 5hotel to read its description and reviews of tourists, then most likely you will find little. And all because the hotel has recently changed its sign. The first to explore the Nai Horn coast were yachtsmen. The bay was convenient for mooring ships, and strong winds blew out into the sea a little further away. Somewhere in the mid-80s of the last century, a yacht club was opened here. Not all athletes wanted to spend the night on board their ships, and it was a long way to go to Patong or Phuket Town.
So the hotel opened in 1986. It was called "Royal Phuket Yacht Club" and existed under this sign until 2014. Gradually, the hotel had neighbors, for example, the chic and new Sunsuri Nai Harn Phuket 5. In the reviews of 2013-14, you can often read that this hotel was considered the best on the coast. And the Royal Yacht Club is outdated - both physically and mentally. Therefore, it closed with the end of the 2014 tourist season. About 20 months there was a complete reconstruction. The new hotel under the banner of The Nai Harn Phuket 5received its first visitors at the beginning of 2016.
Location
The southern coast of the island can be called quiet and calm, but it is still not a wilderness and not separated from the civilized world. There are a couple of shops, a fairly large selection of cafes. The beach at lunchtime is visited by macashnitsa (sellers of hot dishes, soups and salads). The two-kilometer Nai Horn beach itself stretches in a long strip along a rocky cape. On theon top of it rises a Buddhist temple. On one side of the cape is the hotel Phuket Nai Harn, Sunsuri Phuket 5(Thailand) - on the other. In the middle, away from the sea, there is another hotel - All Seasons Nai Harn. And that's it.
At one end of the bay there is still a mooring for snow-white beautiful yachts. Phuket Airport is 55 kilometers away. And if you miss civilization and want to walk along the colorful Bangla Road in Patong, then you will have to overcome 25 km. Thus, we can state that the location of the hotel will appeal to families with children, people looking for a secluded and measured rest. Young people who travel to Phuket for fun should look for accommodation on the west coast of the island.
Territory
Because Phuket Nai Harn, Sunsuri Phuket 5 (Thailand) and All Seasons are the only hotels on the coast of Nai Harn, they managed to capture a huge building space. For example, the area of the hotel we are describing is 17,600 square meters. Most of the Ze Nai Harn 5territory is surrounded by lush tropical greenery. The nine buildings of the hotel with elevators are built in such a way that each room has a view of the Andaman Sea.
The hotel itself is located on the slope of a small hill. Therefore, all alleys smoothly descend to the beach. According to tourists, the territory of the hotel is too built up, I would like more space. But there is still room for wildlife. On the alleys, geckos warm up in the sun, birds sing in the branches of exotic trees. On the territory of the hotel there areswimming pool, which is highly praised by tourists. We'll talk more about him later.
Sunsuri Nai Harn 5
When there are only three hotels within a few kilometers, tourists involuntarily begin to compare them. And in reviews of The Nai Harn Phuket 5hotel, there are often references to the competing "five". Let's immediately dot the "i". The Sansuri Nai Harn Hotel was built later, and, as it seemed to tourists, it has a large area. But eight buildings descend to the sea in the same cascades, as in Ze Nai Harn. Sansuri has two swimming pools. One of them is the subject of constant envy of the inhabitants of the hotel we are describing. It is built in such a way that people who swim in it get the feeling of flying over the sea surface. Some tourists from Ze Nai Harn made friends with the guests of Sansuri and asked them about rooms, meals and other services.
As for the apartments, everything in this "five" is up to the mark. The rooms are spacious and bright, with crisp white linen and plenty of towels. Breakfasts are served in two halls - with traditional European and Asian cuisines. As for services, Sansuri has a gym, fitness equipment, a spa center with various types of massages and a jacuzzi. Animation is presented in the form of aerobics classes in a small pool. In a word, the residents of Sansuri are also satisfied with their choice of hotel. There is only one small downside. "Ze Nai Harn Phuket" is almost on the beach. From the topmost building to the sea go 200 meters. And Sansuri is located two kilometers from the beach. guestsThe hotel brings to the sea a free bus. It runs six times a day. But some guests complained that they were tied to the bus schedule.

Nai Harn Phuket 5 food reviews
All tourists without exception were satisfied with breakfast. The time allotted for a meal suited both those who get up at dawn and those who like to soak in bed. The range of food for breakfast was amazing. There were also sushi, and rice with meat, and omelettes. Many said that they left breakfast so full that they started thinking about food only in the evening. It seems that the assortment of meals was the same every day, but nevertheless different in details: they would bring new pastries, then papaya instead of pineapples. In a word, the food was not boring.
Those tourists who dined on a full or half board basis highly praised the menu service. There were always interesting dishes to choose from. It's worth going to the Rock S alt for dinner. They cook delicious shrimp and lobsters. But the budget traveler will find many cheap cafes within walking distance. There is a fruit market and a grocery store near the hotel.

Reviews
The vast majority of holidaymakers enjoyed their stay at The Nai Harn Phuket 5. Reviews of tourists are like laudatory odes. Everyone remembers breakfasts with nostalgia and assures that people who are on a diet should not go here -do not resist the temptation. Tourists note the hospitality and professionalism of the staff. A Russian-speaking employee works at the reception, so there should not be a language barrier. The only negative of the hotel is the lack of services for children (except for the paid babysitting service). But Nai Harn Beach is a great place for bathing kids. There is a shallow bottom and the finest sand without stones and corals.
