I stayed for 10 nights here. My room was a ‘superior’ room. V basic but bed was comfortable. Air con was good. Not cleaned properly each day. The whole place looked uncared for. Needed a good clean and refurbish. It had two pool areas which was good. But unless you got up at 6.30am to put towels on sun beds you didn’t get one. Not sure why they have so few. Many of the chairs were broken and cushions were torn. Great location so I spent most days on the beach because it was much nicer than the hotel. Wouldn’t stay there again.

We stayed at this hotel 4 nights. We did extend one night but only for pure convenience ans partner was not well and was not able to travel. Overall appearance tired and run down and in need for updating. Rooms could be cleaner with some attention to detail. Towels. It replaced daily. We stayed in a beach front room. Originally stationed next to restaurant which was noisy and lacked privacy. We requested to be moved to another room which was granted. However sliding doors were difficult to open and safe did not work. Brought to front desk attention but was not addressed/ fixed during our stay. No little extras. Water and beer can be purchased at front desk. But not refrigerated. Buffet breakfast adequate. Fruit selection limited and no option for capachino /latte/americano. Pool is nice also. However get up At the crack of dawn to secure pool Side lounger. As many have been earmarked with towels. And left for hours with no one in sight. Previous reviews do mention this and this is not policed by staff no has it changed. Beach front was the only upside here and if that’s what you are looking for then this would be okay. But on the whole would not recommend.

Location is perfect. They also have the best massage ever on the beach. Breakfast is Ok nothing special. The rooms/bungalows were Ok too but the water seemed yellow which drags down the overall experience.

We had what was supposed to be a luxury bungalow, the condition of the bungalow was very poor and needs a lot of maintenance work, Bed a very cheap uncomfortable mattress. Had a lovely stay all staff and position is great. But more of an economy stay rather than luxury

Hotel bungalows are very nice. Breakfasts were pretty average food in “heated” trays usually cold, poor choice of fruit, cereal etc. No pastries or croissants. Hotel is now overpriced for area and standard of restaurant etc.

If you are a couple, it’s paradise, you own private bungalow with a porch surrounded by lush tropical foliage, small pathways to your love nest, so cool. Just a minute walk to the most amazing beach and it’s all yours, private resort beach, water is like bath tub warm. The food is good at the resort, it’s a laid back very good resort, money well spent...if your a couple. If your solo it’s a excellent place to chill and recharge however if your looking for the opposite sex company, you’ll most likely be bored and lonely.

Great place right on the beach!
We had a great stay in our little bungalow! We were able to book all our activities that we wanted to do through the hotel - they personally called and ensured we were taken care of. We were also able to rent a scooter to travel around Koh Lanta, but there are also tuk tuks waiting outside or a driver to assist with getting a ride. We were able to get our laundry done there as well (80 baht/kilo). The laundry price was higher than many places we saw but you can’t beat the convenience of just dropping a bag off at the front desk. Pools were beautiful and entire property was clean and taken care of. The breakfast was tasty and had a wide variety of different foods and even an omelette station. Our only small complaints was the occasional drop in wifi and no business center if you’re trying to have a working holiday. This was very minor and in no way reflected negatively on our delightful stay.

Terrible hotel. We were initially booked into a standard bungalow. The room was absolutely disgusting, old, run down and filthy. The mini fridge was dirty and covered in brown stuff. The door had a giant gap in it that bugs or other critters could easily enter through. We decided to upgrade our room to a beachfront bungalow, which is the most expensive bungalow they have and expected something nicer. The room itself was ok and somewhat updated, although the bathroom was quite gross. The shower did not drain and would flood the entire washroom. The clean towels were so smelly and musty. You would smell like mould after drying yourself. The biggest issue we encountered was our unsecure room door in the beachfront bugalow. One afternoon when we returned to our room, we discovered one of our cellphones was missing. We reported the issue to the front desk and police. The manager at the hotel was not very helpful and pretty much blamed us and would not take responsibility for the unsecure door. The door itself could be opened, even when locked, by lifting up the door very slightly. It was super easy to break into. They did not care at all that our room was broken into and thought we were lying about the phone getting stolen. The staff was very unsympathetic and unhelpful about the situation. To top it off, our key broke off in the lock and they tried to charge us for it. Little did we know you didn't need a key at all to enter our room! Disgusting. Don't stay here.

Naraka Long Beach resort
The resort was nice with 2 pools on a great beach, the breakfast was fine but the bacon needs to be cooked more. The outside area on the street really needs improvement but not the hotel fault. Food was a little pricey at the restaurant but there were cheaper options down the beach and they were fine

Look at room before booking
If you stay here, avoid the standard bungalows. Book deluxe or better. Also ask to stay in recently remodeled rooms. Like many hotels and resorts in Thailand, this resort is slowly upgrading old worn out rooms. We changed rooms 3 times before acquiescencing, all the rooms smelled of mold/mildew. They offered to upgrade to newer room but at 30% higher than if we had booked it originally on app. The Air conditioners in standard bungalow are not sufficient to cool the room in daytime. The small fridge is not cold and the knob is removed to keep you from adjusting it cooler. The staff were mostly pleasant but not always helpful. The breakfast was mediocre. The swimming pool and beach access are the high points at this resort

This hotel is dirty. The rooms were moldy smelling. The beds are like rocks...or a plain boxspring. The breakfast is unsanitary. Three of five travelers got sick from the breakfast. The staff is so rude and you have to wait 15 plus minutes for anything from coffee to ice to towels

Nice hotel
We enjoyed our stay here, the rooms were clean but simple, and the location is perfect: right on the beach! The pool was nice and we ate at the restaurant a few times and enjoyed it. The hotel has what's needed but no "extra" luxuries that you might find at a higher (more expensive) resort.

Great stay on Nakara.
We had a great time in this hotel. swimming pool and our bungalow superior was great (Beach bungalows views are better) Tip: standard bungalows are very far try not to choose them. Breakfast was ok, could improve. Beach is great but my recommendation is to avoid walking on the south side of the beach. South side is dirty and literally on a 5 minute walk we found 20 pieces of broken glass plus lots of garbage. North side is much better and clean with beautiful restaurants on the beach white sand throughout the way. The hotel probably has the nicest spot on the beach!

Spacious bungalows on a nice and clean beach. A big terrace to sit on and a large bathroom. Not far to lots of eating places and a handy mini mart. Nothing fancy but a nice swimming pool and great sunset views.

Nice pool ,nice staff but everything else needs at
The pool is good The price is good. We booked a deluxe bungalow nice and big and clean but nothing worked, TV, safe,air con,half the lights and only one complementary bath robe although there were three of us. They sent a guy to fix everything but couldn't so we changed rooms where the toilet flush kept getting stuck the smoke alarm kept beeping and no complementary bath robes and no phone in room to contact reception. All the outside plants seemed to be dying and the breakfast wasn't good. But we only used the place as a base and for a swim, so once all the problems were sorted it was fine for us as the rooms and beds were big and clean. But wouldn't recommend for anyone who likes to spend time in their resorts.

Lovely hotel
We visited in low season which meant that they were half way through refurbing it but it was a lovely looking hotel right on the beach and had a lovely pool. The location was good for food and markets and the staff were really friendly and let us move rooms when we found a gecko in our room.
