Maclean 2008-10-06	Nora Beach Resort & Spa, Chaweng Beach This resort has definitely made it s place on my list as number 1 of all time visited to date. First class resort, wonderfully helpful and friendly staff that went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and happy. My 16 yo daughter and I stayed in the Ocean Pool Villa which was very classy, very comfortable and fully kitted out. The size was even bigger than what was shown on the web photos and beautifully bright villa surrounded by lush greenery. 3 sets of ranch sliders opened up the internal living area directly to a spacious private deck. The private swimming pool added that extra touch and could literally be stepped into directly from the living area. Other the fancy touches like fresh flowers decorating the bed linen on the massive four poster bed and more peppering the coconut milk filled bath tub had made a beautiful welcoming sight for our late evening arrival. Fresh complimentary fruit basket was very tasty and Expresso coffee maker added a wonderful aroma to the place in the mornings. Two televisions and an inhouse hi-fi made sure my daughter and I didn t need to debate what movie we wanted to watch (cheap DVD rentals provided direct to room). The beach was a hop and a skip from our villa, very clean and safe for kids and deep enough for grown ups. Even the sand on the beach is groomed daily for the guests. Hotel security staff patroling the beach gave that added peace of mind, not that they were needed. Both my daughter and I can attest that we have had our best ever spa experience at the resorts own Spa, 2.5 hrs of shear heaven.... ahhh! Food was good and of course so were the cocktails at the pool bar. OK, may seem a bit on the pricey side to some but it s still good value as you definitely get what you pay for. Off season is the time to cash in on huge room discounts. The Nora has exceeded my expectations and made our holiday the best ever. I will definitely be returning back there.	Very easy and totally problem free booking.
PAOLO 2008-08-20	Nora Beach Resort & Spa, Chaweng Beach Everything was ok. The only negative was at the check out moment, after 4 beautiful days) when we were ten minutes late on the time limit and the reception staff rang at the telephone 3 times, they cutted off the power and knocked at the door...for only TEN minutes!	Perfect
Liselott Olsson 2008-08-01 until 2008-08-12	Nora Beach Resort & Spa, Chaweng Beach Very nice location and friendly staff. Perfect if you dont want to stay in the middle of Chaweng but still be close. Great breakfastbuffet and food. But if you wanted to buy food or drinks at the hotel it was very expensive!	Easy!
Lucy Han 2008-05-06 until 2008-05-11	Nora Beach Resort & Spa, Chaweng Beach The hotel was fabulous, as were the reception staff, and the Ocean Pool Villa was just what we needed with our own private pool as well as a private stretch of beach. The restaurant was average, so we ate out most of the time. Convenient shuttle bus service to and from Chaweng downtown was much appreciated. Their spa is also great - definitely worth the price. One thing they could probably improve is to offer free internet access to guests. Also, if you know you re going to have to be online a few hours a day, make sure that the room they give you has an active hotspot working near your room - ours didn t, and we were without access for the first few days, apart from the 2 computers in the lobby that you re only allowed ot use for 15 min at a time. All in all though, it was a truly great, relaxing week at a first class resort.	Very quick, very easy, very responsive, very helpful. Will definitely use them again.
Scotty 2008-05-03 until 2008-05-13	Nora Beach Resort & Spa, Chaweng Beach Lovely resort, we stayed in an ocean beach villa, absolutely faultless. Beautiful villa, fantastic service. Would definitely come back and recommend it.	Through Sawadee.com excellent service.
steven stead 2008-04-28 until 2008-05-04	Nora Beach Resort & Spa, Chaweng Beach A lovely resort, which is far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Chaewang yet close enough to take a leisurely stroll in (along the beach, not via the road) when desired. The free shuttle service into the resort centre gets full very quickly, so arrive early if you want a lift in! Service was excellent and we would recommend going for a Nora Pool Villa if you can - extremly spacious and with all mod cons; the luxury of having a private pool made our stay perfect. Our one gripe was that they do not provide sunbeds/loungers with the villas, which although a minor issue was an annoyance - some improvisation with the villa furniture sorted that out though! Taxi prices from the resort to elsewhere are steep, so try and hop on one of the open-backed jeeps if venturing out. It is worth arranging transfers from to/from the airport prior to your visit as both teh hotel shuttle and taxis are again, expensive.... Overall - highly recommended and surprised it doesn t get a mention in the Lonely Planet guides!	Easy and seamless - would recommend for peace of mind.
Henning Rasmussen 2008-02-22 until 2008-02-29	Nora Beach Resort & Spa, Chaweng Beach So nice - we like it so much:-)) Nice breakfast and nice place... Kirsten and Henning Denmark	ok
Uwe Mannweiler 2008-01-28 until 2008-02-10	Nora Beach Resort & Spa, Chaweng Beach We stayed the second time in Nora Beach Resort at Chaweng Beach - and against our memories it was very disappointing this time. 3 years ago everything was in a good shape but it looks like they do not reinvest one Baht in this Hotel. We booked a Ocean Villa for more than 8.000 Baht a night - and we had holes in towels, old and more than used furniture, a broken shower etc. etc. very sad. The staff is very friendly, the food good and the Resort itself fantastic. But the Rooms and whole interior is in a sad shape. Sorry - I expect much more for so much money and will for sure not return to this hotel again.	The booking service with sawadee.com ist just perfect. helpful and very friendly.
Debbie Parkinson 2008-01-21 until 2008-01-23	Nora Beach Resort & Spa, Chaweng Beach This hotel was by far the best hotel I have ever stayed on whilst in Chaweng. On arrival we received a free upgrade and the resort, room and service was superb. The hotel is situated slightly out of Chaweng but they do offer a courtesy shuttle service but it s not expensive to catch a taxi to the main strip. The swimming pool was gorgeous and the bar and restaurant were fantastic value for money. Would definitely stay there again!	As always Excellent!
Prue Jevtic 2007-11-22 until 2007-11-26	Nora Beach Resort & Spa, Chaweng Beach This hotel was lovely. It was around 15 minutes from the airport. We were staying the deluxe ocean pool suite which was beautiful. The hotel was on north chaweng beach and was the only hotel on this strip it was around a 10 minute walk along the beach to get to main chaweng beach where all the action is. My only complaint about the hotel is that the beach is not that great to swim in and it is very WINDY, once you walk to main chaweng beach it is protected from the wind so it is calm but where the nora located it is very windy. The food was good and there was a variety.	Fantastic had no problems at all!!!
