Napasai, Koh Samui

This was our 3rd visit to the Napasai and we were devastated to learn that it will soon be closing for 2-3 years for “rebranding and renovation”. The most amazing aspect of this hotel has always been its staff team, from gardeners to Executive Chef, receptionists to pool attendants and with special mention to Alla, the most attentive, caring GSM we have ever met. Any future employer would find any of the existing staff a huge asset and we wish them all luck whilst they further their careers. On this recent trip we thank them all for making our say so memorable. It is difficult to see how any changes to the Napasai could improve it as a boutique, luxury resort with a true Thai feel.

An incredible hotel resort . The spa I had the best massage and facial experience ever. Dinner at Lai Tai was delicious. Would thoroughly recommend Napasai

Gorgeous Thai style boutique hotel in a peaceful location with private beach. One of the best I’ve ever stayed in. I loved the spacious and elegant stilt bungalow and large veranda, and the storm lantern that was lit every night for our return was a perfect touch. Although some of the public areas, bathrooms and spa mainly, could do with some updating and painting, it was just perfect. The food was all excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful. Great service and value. We didn’t want to leave.

We were originally only supposed to stay for five days. However, due to the Iran war our flight was canceled, and our stay unexpectedly turned into 13 nights. The team’s positive spirit made this situation much easier for us—they fulfilled many of our wishes and made it possible for us to remain in the same accommodation the entire time. We stayed in an Ocean Villa with a separate bedroom, a separate living room, and a private pool with a lounge area by the water. We truly enjoyed this space and felt very comfortable there. Breakfast was excellent and varied. Mauricio, the chef from Uruguay, always came up with new ideas, and Ae, the head of reception, together with her team, was consistently attentive and helpful whenever needed. The entire resort is well maintained, though after about 20 years it could benefit from some renovations. On the positive side, it’s not an oversized resort, which makes it feel almost private. Even when the hotel seemed fully booked, the property never felt crowded. We will definitely come back one day. 🌴

A true heaven on Earth. The location, the staff, the villas, the views, the lush gardens. So far our best stay in Thailand and ever. We did regret we couldn't stay longer. Thank you for all the staff who made our stay so wonderful.
