Nora Beach Resort

This resort is gorgeous with all its lush plant and tree life everywhere. The resort is a little bit outdated compared to the photos they post. This resort has the best staff we have ever had at a hotel and we're warm and helpful the entire time even with our baby and when my wife hurt her leg. The resort is pretty steep with the lobby being at the top and the beach pool and restaurant being at the bottom but they offer golf cart rides everywhere. The resort is unfortunately hard to leave by foot because of the tight busy road outside with no sidewalk to the shops and restaurants so we took lots of short taxi rides which they call for you at least. The beach is a bit underwhelming but its calm and quiet. The pool is really nice to make up for the beach luckily. The restaurant had a very very good breakfast buffet but the food and drinks at the resort were way overpriced (294 baht for a cocktail with tax and automatic 10% tip). The food also has an automatic tip of 10%. We stopped eating at the resort after the second night and found much cheaper options elsewhere and limited our drinks at the pool due to poor value. The beds are also really hard and we found them uncomfortable. Other than that we had an incredible time at this wonderful place and enjoyed spending time with all the amazing staff. Thank you Nora Beach for a wonderful family vacation!

We went only for a lunch and drinks during Samui Regetta event. We didn’t get to see any boats but we loved the restaurant set up facing the beach. It was lovely. There were tiny bums during the service but, the professionalism after little communication about the discomfort during the food service were exceptional. They shone ⭐ Honestly, I appreciate it. The communication was incredible and efficient. The manager Mr. Joe and other guy, the chef (I believe) and FB teams and other team members were exceptional. We haven’t stayed there but for the food, especially dessert 🍨 and Iced Caramel Latte was amazing. I absolutely recommend. We would like to stop by again in the future for the dessert when we have family visits. It was lovely.

A big thank you to Michelle and the team for the warm Thai hospitality. This is my second time staying at this property and they have been phenomenal through and through. I would love to see a small refresh for some of the towels, pool linens and bathroom fixtures which are starting to show wear. Otherwise, my experience both stays was nothing short of world class which a lot of bigger, higher end hotels lack these days. The little things like a smile and the team making an effort to remember coffee orders at breakfast, asking about the activity you were telling them you were going to was. It’s these little touches which make it feel so much like home. Thanks again to the whole team at Nora for making me feel so welcome.
