Nakamanda is my home away from home when staying in Krabi. It is situated on an inlet to the bay and the outside restaurant overlooks this bay. The resort is very well kept, the staff very professional and helpful in all aspects. Their friendliness made you feel like part of the family structure. The rooms are large, well kept with a bath and all amenities that you could want. The villas are situated in a jungle setting with a stone stairway leading down to the beach or up to the main counter area. The food is excellent and well presented. There is a wide variety of food such as Thai and European. There are plenty of shops such as The Beach Club, massage etc, and one 7/11 within walking distance. Because of the excellent quality of the resort and staff, this is my resort of choice when staying in Krabi. The main town of Ao Nang is approximately 17 km away but travel using Grab is no problem.

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.

We chose this property to beat the crowds and enjoy small and cozy feel of villa style living. We We booked two rooms for our family and then we upgraded by paying a bit extra to a Andaman pool villa. I have stayed in big resorts but this gives you a small cozy and yet personal feel. The room interiors are great and bathrooms have wooden furniture that makes you feel so close to the nature and Thai culture. It is very opposite to the big hotels but I was looking for this experience.

The rooms are very spacious and clean.

The daily breakfast was more than ordinary. Every day they had different Thai varieties and other international cuisine of foods. Some family said that the staff packed breakfast for them
As they had excursions. I got sick and they sent meds right away.

We had our flight at 6 pm and they provided us day use room after check out so we could take shower and my kid could rest.

The hotel is away from crazy crowds and is a small and yet veery personal and comforting to be. I’d love to come back again.

Nakamanda is an established resort, probably around 20 years old but well maintained and consisting of separate houses, with upstairs and downstairs rooms (42 in total). This gives each room a lot of privacy and I definitely enjoyed the peace and quiet in this resort. It has a pool and direct access to the beach opposite a small island which can be access at low tide. The staff are particularly helpful, polite and friendly, with highly personal service due to the small size and it feels like a family run business, more so than the neighbours: Beyond Resort, Varana and Dilusit Thani (a bit further). It has a spa, with reasonable prices compared to the neighbouring hotels, but best value is always in massage parlours around the hotels. The Naga restaurant was excellent for dinner on the beach. I would stay again!

Everything about Nakamanda is amazing. The location makes it a little piece of paradise - it’s so calm and relaxing and the views are just stunning. The staff are all so nice and kind. There are so many little thoughtful gestures, like the constant supply of free ice-cold water at the pool and meals, and the use of a day room if you have an afternoon or evening flight. It’s by far the nicest hotel in the area (which is a very nice area!) We would love to come back.

5 star marvellous resort

This resort is pretty amazing , 5 star resort by a semi private beach . The tide makes a very interesting point of view throughout the day and at night it’s right at the hotel restaurant area . The pool is huge and very clean . We had breakfast which changed everyday and dinner which was very good and reasonably priced . The only suggestion I would make is to get someone to clean up at low tide the garbage around the hotel and the staff although very helpful were distracted as many would be looking at their phones . We had to wave to get their attention and the resort had few clients, missing the special attention expected at this type of hotel . We had a great massage at the spa . All in all I highly recommend this beautiful establishment for a romantic getaway or peaceful stay .

The property is beautiful and the rooms are comfortable and well maintained. The beachfront property sometimes sits right on the water as twice a day (10am-3pm) and evening/night high tide brings water to the steps of the hotel which is a stunning sight, allowing for even closer swimming and kayaking around island that forms in front. Most impressive is how attentive the staff are, keeping tabs on when we leave, what trips we did (we booked our own but they can help), when we leave. If arriving early or leaving late, they give personal guest rooms for with a lock to rest and leave things in which was certainly a helpful perk.

Very nice big pool, peaceful by the ocean and great staff, who were always very attentive. Breakfast was good, and generally I would say this was good value for what we paid for it. Plenty of nice options for lunch / dinner (great value) along the beach by the hotel.

There is a lot of steps going down to the pools and dining from the rooms, so if you're elderly or not comfortable with that, this wouldn't be a suitable place for you. The gym is very basic and has equipment, but quite crammed together. Some areas of the hotel feel a little worn/ tired and could do with a slight spruce and refurb in places.

We stopped over at the Sofitel and Ritz Carlton up the road for dinner, and those are what you would expect for a 5* rated hotel. I would say by other hotels I've stayed in the region, this is more of a 4*

Highest of recommendations!

This is an amazing place for those looking to get away from it all. Located in a quiet part of Krabi that nonetheless has numerous restaurants and beaches nearby, it is a perfect place to decompress. The design of the resort—with large villas, each surrounded by plenty of greenery—made us feel like we had the place to ourselves. Service was perfect—warm, friendly, and professional, yet unobtrusive as is befitting of a luxury resort. Although some of the spaces are in need of renovation, the classic and spacious design of our accommodations made this our favorite hotel of our honeymoon. We cannot wait to return!

Good stay.

This resort is ideal for couples who love privacy during vacation. The villa is quite big with his & hers sink, large bath tub, separate bath & toilet. My complain here is the toilet doesn't have a door. If you have mobility issues, this might not a place for you since the resort has a lot of stairs and going from room to restaurant or spa or front of hotel entails a lot of walking and climbing of stairs. They have a very good spa for massages and the restaurant serves very good food as well. Breakfast is typically same everyday but with 2-3 new items changed every day. The pool which is facing the beach is quite nice too. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here except on the day prior to our departure, we lost an item inside the room - it wasn't really valuable but somehow it affected our perception of safety in the resort.

The staff were all very helpful and attentive to our needs. There are free shuttles on Sat and Sun night to Krabi night market which we took on Sat. Unfortunately the driver that picked us up from Krabi back to the hotel put us in danger by his reckless driving. It was unpleasant and very dangerous. I do hope he gets reprimanded for this as no guests should feel in danger of their lives. Overall this resort is a bit of paradise!

My husband and I took a 5min walk from the beach to a nearby beach restaurant around the corner to dine in sun set. The scenery was romantic and peaceful. The resort has canoes that you can borrow for free. Right at the beach there are private long tail boats you can hire to the islands. So convenient and hassle free.

Private villa with excellent service

Top service provided over my 4 days 3 nights stay at the resort. For the transport to and from the airport, they arranged affordable and hassle free transport. They also have a range of day activities they can arrange for you with their partners. My partner and I chose to do the Krabi 4 island trip. The half day trip was was provided by a safe and trustable vendor. Only disappointment was the poor weather that was beyond our control. There was also a complimentary shuttle on weekends to Krabi Town for guest.

The layout of the hotel room was great. Service was excellent. Breakfast was average but the good service from the waiting staff made up for it. Perhaps one inprovement the management can consider is to consider upgrade some of the furnitures because they appear quite worn out.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the stay and I would highly recommend it to my family and friends. Thank you Nakamanda!

Good location and nice staff but.

Really nice hotel, well set out and friendly staff, but not 5 star. The room we had had a good view and was air conditioned. however the cleaner never cleaned the bathroom in the full 5 days we were there. They replaced the towels and items we used but didn't take away any of the used items so by the end of our 5 days there were a big collection of toothbrushes conditioner bottles extra.
The breakfast room was disgusting only the hot food was covered up. You would think for a so called 5 star hotel they would know better. My wife poured herself some muesli only to see lots of small ants crawling around in her bowl, fruit fruit was available and the jams were in bowls where you had to spoon out how ever much you wanted. None of this was covered over and there were flies and ants all over the uncovered foods.
The breakfast staff, although friendly, asked for our room number every morning; in other 5 star hotels we have stopped in, by the 2nd or 3rd day we were greeted by our name and the staff didn't need to ask for the number as they knew it.
Beautiful, peaceful location but it does need a revamp. Many tiles chipped in the pool, tiles missing off the accommodation rooves and some dirty towels at the poolside.

Nice small luxury hotel with the best service!

The staff were all so nice and friendly which was really delightful. When we arrived, the room was not ready yet and a front desk staff Su gave us a little tour around the resort, it was really nice :)

There’s free shuttle bus service to Krabi Town and Ao Nang Beach provided, which helps make up for it being a little far away from the hustle and bustle. That being said, it is definitely a good choice for travelers looking for a nice and quiet trip with all the amenities at your fingertips. Do check out the hidden bars along the beach and the restaurants across the road.

The rooms were really clean but the beds are a little hard. Would definitely come back again :) Thank you Nakamanda for the great stay!

A lovely hotel with a great location

We stayed in a deluxe room and it was lovely, with a great bathroom area and a huge balcony. Pool was great and service was really warm and friendly.

We didn’t try the restaurant apart from breakfast (which was fine, but not brilliant) but it looked pretty quiet in the evening. Not because of the food necessarily, but if you walk out to the beach and turn right, there are loads of beach restaurants and places to chill and have a beer. Although, be prepared to be patient as if they are busy the kitchen usually will struggle to cope and food can often take an hour.

The only note of caution I would give people about the hotel is the stairs. The hotel is built on a hill to allow everyone to have great views, but it does mean a lot of climbing. Mainly fine, but some areas are very small pyramid style stairs with no handhold. Not for the faint hearted.

Great value for what you get and a fab stay.

Perfection in Krabi

This hotel and resort was truly breathtaking. From the moment they picked us up from the airport with cold towels and bottles of water to the moment we checked out, we were impressed. The amenities were clean, beautiful and so perfect against the incredible natural backdrop of Krabi. We were thankful for the poolside staff who darted over to shift our beach umbrella every 45 minutes, making sure we didn’t get sunburnt! The included breakfast was always interesting and we cannot day enough good things about the coconut sticky rice wrapped in banana leaf! If they have this out for breakfast, grab 6!! We are still having dreams about these.
The rooms are lovely and so large. The bathrooms so immense that it felt silly to even leave! Everything was well stocked and the bottled water everywhere was wonderful. I participated in the Tuesday morning yoga class and it ended up being a private session, just me and the teacher. Seriously, take advantage of this! It was so fun!
We visited the spa as well which was delightful. The ‘Relaxing Package’ was an aromatherapy oil massage that had us snoozing. It was so refreshing and you even get to choose your own oil!

We wanted for nothing at this resort.

Relaxing Spot on the Beach

The hotel well located with nice view on the beach and amazing landscaping. I felt renovations of rooms is really needed at this time to upgrade the finishing and accommodate a five star title. Although, the rooms are nice and spacey with good light access, but still they can be much better. Adding to that the Gym should be renovated.

Awesome Small Little Luxury Hotel

We booked airport transfer and hotel car transfer a month ago yet the hotel reception keep this in mind and reminded us beforehand. We are welcomed with cold towels and water when the hotel picked us up from the airport. Got a welcome drink and a goodbye drink from the hotel as well. As this resort is built on top of a hill, bellboy helped to carry our baggage to and back from our room.

Hotel's restaurant is facing the private beach - awesome view. There's a deck to sit right outside our room for us to enjoy the lovely weather or just to read a book while listening to birds chirping. It has a natural light bath tub which can fit two people and they provided bath sea salt as well (very thoughtful). Thai Massage is great btw, kind of authentic.

The only downside is the hard bed, but it is still not very bad as I still managed to sleep soundly due to the serenity of the environment. Breakfast buffet is decent, but there is room for improvement for normal main dishes such as TomYam. Still fine though, as there are some small decent stalls which serves great food right in front of the hotel.

Really recommend this hotel to whoever wishes to relax and rejuvenated. You can simply bring a backpack and stay here as hotel provided everything you need. Note that this is definitely not a great hotel for someone who want to go for pub crawling (That will be in Ao nang) but for relaxation purposes, I will definitely come back here.

My experience was wonderful and i love the each part of this stay.
The staff is very supportive and they help in all aspects like outdoor activities, city trips and providing transport etc with reasonable price.
The room is very spacious , hygienic and build on a very different concept. I like the veranda portion which is a good option for family stay too. This property is having a nice view private beach along with the famous Long-tail boats option.

In short, it was just a \"wow\" in total!!!

The only thing which you can think upon is the location of this property which you can take as an advantage too that this property is quite away from city and is a peaceful choice for which you are looking on a holiday!!!

amazing location and friendly staff

We stayed here for our honeymoon and were not disappointed. The location is amazing right on the beech and watching sunrises and sunsets are a must. The hotel is quite far from other main attractions and sites which was what we wanted but if you want hustle and bustle this isn’t the place for you.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. At times the language barrier was a bit challenging but the management were very accommodating. One evening they set up a romantic table for us that was apart from the rest of the restaurant that surpassed our expectations.

The food in the evening and lunch is very good and we found the set menu and the seafood bbq to be excellent. The breakfast is ok but not really 5* quality.

As some others have mentioned the hotel looks a bit tired in places including our room, it could do with a bit of a refurb, I am sure it was 5* facilities when first built but over 10 years has passed and I would consider it more 4* in this aspect now. The gym isn’t a proper gym so don’t expect much from this perspective!

Overall it was a wonderful stay and the grounds are beautiful, if you want relaxation and a romantic getaway then this place is great. 5* in many aspects but not all.

Fabulous Hotel with Lovely Beach Setting

The villas are lovely and the setting on the beach couldn’t be better. Not a huge amount near the hotel, just some local restaurants and a few shops, but Ao Nang and Krabi aren’t too far away. If you want somewhere to chill out, you’ll be pushed to improve on this hotel. Would definitely return.

Exceptional service!

Exceptional service! We were truly spoiled :) We arrived before check-in and were given a day use room to relax, change and shower. Then once our real room was ready it was gorgeous! I have an allergy to 1 food item and ALL the staff were informed before I arrived at the restaurant, and the staff checked every dish for me. Trips and transportation were organized by staff with ease and the spa was devine. Lastly, when we had a late flight, we were once again given a Day Use room which allowed us to swim in the warm pool next to the ocean, rest and shower right up until we left paradise.

Good hotel with an unbelievable staff

The hotel is nice, with a good location right on the beach. There are also many really good restaurants nearby, and the one on-site is fine.

The staff is remarkable. The best customer service we've ever received, anywhere, and they made the stay amazing. Lik, Berm, Jak, Nui, and so many others always greeted us and made us feel welcome.

Our room was spacious. There are some minor signs of wear and tear around the hotel, but it's clean and the grounds are well kept. Overall, we were really happy with our stay at Nakamanda.
