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.

A wonderful small boutique hotel with spacious rooms and terrific staff

“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”
Right place for honeymoon!

Not upto 5 star luxury
6/10

“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.”

sheetali · Family · 2025-10-27
“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.”
My resort of choice when in Krabi

“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. ”

“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.”
Could be amazing but needs money investing

“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”
Terrible Honeymoon Experience
4/10
Curiosity05395249441 · Couples · 2025-04-10
“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.”
Nice old fashioned boutique hotel

positivetravel1 · Couples · 2025-04-07
“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!

“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.”
