From the front reception desk to the room cleaning maids, to the kitchen and dining room staff, to the forecourt attendants, to the onsite tourism event booking agency, to the swimming poolside bar, the service was responsive, friendly, and helpful. Nipa Resort is situated within easy walking distance of many shops, amenities, and tourist attractions and is well serviced by various transportation options. We found the staff to be unobtrusive but always a nearby presence to provide service and support.

We were given a lower grade room so I had to complain to get the room I booked. From then on...all top notch. Swimming pool was great and enjoyed a dip every day. As for parking, they should not say they have on site parking as only 3 places for the whole resort! Breakfast was good, almost very good. All in all, recommended.

This location was great to get everywhere. Anything you could want is within a 2 min walk. The beach was about an 8 min walk down one straight road.

Everyday they came in and tidied our rooms and it was like we just checked in. The breakfast was both Canadian and Thai. Great choices, nice location in the hotel and the staff were very kind and efficient. The coffee machine was super quick and no line ups. Lol

Beautiful pool with a bar, elevator for those who need it. Would def stay here again.

Breakfast was great as was the pool bar and the pool itself. Personnel have changed during the last years, but still great specially at the breakfastroom and pool bar.
Hotel is clean and nice and in great location.
If I have to say something negative, let it be that minibar was not filled daily.
But overall very nice hotel and I will probably book a room again when I get next time to Phuket.

I had a great stay at Nipa resort ! Although it is an older property, but it is pretty good condition and the free breakfast and me to order eggs was great. They had enough food options for everyone including Thai breakfast in the morning as well as American breakfast too. The staff was helpful whenever I needed them. Kris was great to help me check out at 4:30 in the morning.
The pool was lively, and I saw people of all ages, relaxing and chilling and reading books etc. it is very close to the Patong beach and walking distance is only about 8 to 9 minutes. Being a solo female traveler, I felt safe at this location.
Overall, for the area I was in this was a nice hotel, and good value for money. I could possibly return here on my next trip. Thanks Nipa !

Great for the price, the staff was very lovely and friendly which is very important, so we are very grateful of their service and care. The building is overall very nice with thai style, nice pool, good size beds,confortable rooms and very good service clean!. Also very good located in Patong for walking distance. The only feedback to improve maybe more variety for the breakfast and also they were doing some renovations during the day, which makes bit too noisy in the rooms.

Good & basic resort

The resort has all the necessities, however when compared with other resorts it was quite basic. Breakfast was ordinary with selections changing daily.
Only having one room card was a pain and we weren't allowed another one.
Prices are a bit high for drinks and meals, however happy hour between 4-6pm was good. Even the price for a late check out was high.
The pool is quite small when compared with the photos but it was nice to swim and relax.
Location was good and a short walk from Patong Beach and Bangla Road.
The free upgrade was nice and the service in general was good. It was good they held onto our luggage before our late flight for free.

Good points:

- Location is great. Short walk to the craziness and all the bars and restaurants but just far enough away from it to not be a loud or seedy area.

- Pool is great. It’s a decent size and a really nice temperature. Opening hours of the pool are 9am to 9pm

- we had one of the new rooms in the newer building which was really nice. Pool view was very nice, size of the room was good facilities were newish.

Bad Points:

- The pool bar is ridiculously over expensive at 120thb per beer (around £3GBP). Everywhere else sells beer for between 50 and 80 baht. They also charge 80 baht (around £2GBP) for a can of coke which can be bought at the 7 eleven next door for less than 20 baht.

- Some staff have an issue with you bringing your own food and drink to the hotel, which seems strange considering they sold me a self catering package. They were fine selling me this but then told me off for eating food from outside of the hotel.

- Breakfast is awful. I’m not normally one to complain about breakfast in countries such as Thailand. With that said, most hotels offer a decent western breakfast option. In this case it’s only toast or eggs, there’s no bacon, sausage, beans etc, just curries, noodles, deep fried stuff etc. There is also some fruit and 2 choices or cereal. The juice options were lovely. I would skip breakfast at the hotel and head out of the hotel go left and follow the road until you see Lucky 13 opposite Bangla boxing stadium, they do good food!

The staff was rude and Expedia was unhelpful. I booked a trip alone (female) and got a confirmation for the hotel. But once I arrived the hotel stated there was no reservation. The woman kept going to a back office to her manager but the manager never came out and I had proof of confirmation that they did not honor. They tried to tell me to pay cash and then call Expedia for my money back. Long story short, I finally had someone from back home get ahold of 6 different managers through Expedia before I got a refund and another hotel booked for me

Best Hotel in Phuket

I absolutely loved staying here. The staff was so impressive, what was impressive was they took the time to learn to say my name correctly, they made me
laugh and they had the best hospitality. The room was so clean, when I got there I walked past a room and the hotel staff was on her knees with a toothbrush and scrub cleaning the floor. If that isn’t amazing, I don’t know what is. It was beyond beautiful and clean there. The only negative was the bed was little too firm for my liking. I would have liked the bed to be a little softer but overall I had a great experience.

The WORST check-in EVER!!!

It was the worst check-in ever!

I booked the room more than a month before our stay. I got a confirmation email which said that nothing else need to be done because everything is already confirmed with the hotel. But when me and my wife came to the hotel the receptionist told me that we are not in the \"list of guests\" and there is no room prepared for us. After I showed him all confirmation letters he told us to sit down and wait, and start looking (very slowly) into their systems. After 30 minutes of silence!!! I asked if the issue was fixed and if we can get into our room, the receptionist said \"Yes, we found you in our system but you have to wait ANOTHER 40 MINUTES for housekeeper to clean the room\"!!! Another 40 minutes!!! I asked if any other \"already cleaned\" room available at this moment, but he said \"No, you have to wait\".

So we waited more than 1 hour in a lobby just to check-in! The worst check-in ever! Normally it takes from 1 to 5 minutes in other hotels.

We booked a \"Grand Deluxe Pool View\" which is located in the new building, so it looked new. The central remote unit (to turn on lights and A/C) is a nice feature. The bathroom is big and room is ok size. Small balcony is also a nice feature.

Overall hotel is ok, but the staff need to be trained!!!!

I will not stay in this hotel again!

Hotel overall was good and for me was in a great location being an easy 10 minute walk to the beach, shopping mall and main nightlife. I found the staff to be very warm and helpful whenever they were asked anything and did the best they could although some at reception spoke very limited English. The rooms were very clean and overall maintenance was also good. The pool area was nice although sunbeds were hard to come by as the space isn't really enough for the number of rooms in the hotel. The only couple of negatives I would say is the standard of breakfast could do with improving and also the shower in the bathrooms are too low I had to kneel in the bath to take a shower also my room 1210 although has a balcony looks out onto a brick wall. Despite this I would stay here again if the price was right.

Needs an update and maintenance work!

Unfortunately Nipa Resort didn't quite meet expectations (and they were low).

The staff were wonderful, I just wish the big guys would do them justice and invest much needed funds into making guests' stay pleasant.

Improvement is needed in the following areas:
- Hot water system (we had warm water twice in our 10 day stay).
- Air Conditioning (it seems to work hard to put out just a small amount of cool air).
- Mosquito protection (somehow there were several sneaking in from somewhere; maybe the ducted air con or bathroom fan?).
- General maintenance such as new towels without holes and stains, safe battery was dead, bath plug was stuck shut (we had these two attended to).
- Pillows and bed are very hard. The mattress is liveable but less firm pillows would be beneficial.
- Wifi signal update (drops off and non existant daily).
- Warm bainmaries are essential! Tea light ones are currently used but they were never lit so breakfast is always room temperature, we ate early and late but it made no difference. Room temperate chicken etc is dangerous. The smiling egg station man is the greatest feature.
- Bathtub design means all the water runs around the bath and down along the floor soaking the bath mat.

Please, please update these things! Location, staff and are perfect, but sadly we won't return until it's had some work.

Oasis in a city

This is our 2nd time staying at the Nipa, both times we have had pool access rooms, just love this facility being able to come out of the room and straight into the pool.
The Nipa is centrally located, 10 min walk to beach road, shopping, food, massages all real close. A ATM and 7/11 is right next door for all those little bits and pieces.
We find the Nipa great if you are people to be out and about, not the best if you want to sit and watch the water. Breakfast is on the light side for choice for westerners, although they do have a chef waiting to take your orders to cook you a fresh omelette if you wish.
Check in had us a little concerned, they didn't seem to have our reservation from Expedia, asking us if we had only just booked it on the net, when we had booked it months in advance. Our Expedia booking said no need to reconfirm but in future I think I will be.
Overall a very pleasant stay.

Genral rating

One evening a rat visited us in the restaurant that was not pleasant. 7 eleven and pharmacy was closeby that was good. Other visiters was using our access to the pool that was irritating. Other guests do not have shade area to relash in, you should look at that. A genral rating is rated for this hotel.

Pretty good

Really nice hotel but if I have to be picky the pool was to warm and the rooms could do with some sound proofing. we had the pool access and the balconys a bit small not enough room to have reclining chairs but all together very good

Good value for money

Booked at short notice. Nice pool view room and walking distance to the shopping and night life of Patong. Overall good value for money.
