About the hotel: Tenta Nakara was lovely. We came on our honeymoon for New Year s Eve and never stopped marveling at what a wonderful place we found. The food was wonderful (the staff was kept very busy with everyone s orders!) and the beach was clean, private and calm. The huts have water but no electricity, it was better than we expected and the gas lanterns gave a nice ambience at night. We enjoyed the dinnertime music and chatting with the boss. Everything still turned out way cheaper than 2 nights here in Japan. Next time we re in Phuket, we ll stay at Tenta Nakara again!
About the reservation service: We got lots of feedback from the booking service about our reservation and transportation to the hotel.
About the hotel: Jag och min familj stannade i tre nätter och trivdes mycket bra. Vill man ha riktig semester så ska man åka dit. Det som gäller är sol, bad, spela spel och läsa (i skenet av fotogenlampa). Personalen är toppen, maten god.
About the hotel: Beautiful and colorful place - like in paradise. We ve been treated like kings, very nice and kind staff. We ll come back as soon as possible. Thank you for everything. Patrik & Chrisi
About the hotel: This place isn t for everyone but I absolutely loved it. No electricity or hot water, but extremely relaxing, entire beach to myself, great food and very friendly staff. I haven t slept so well in years.... sounds of nature lull you to sleep with gently breeze off the ocean. If I am Thailand again I will definitely return!
About the reservation service: booking the stay and arrangement of transportation was perfect
About the hotel: Three nights in Tenta Nakara appeared to be our best time in Thailand. It was a real dream, fascinating tropical nature with palms looking into the sea like girl in the mirror, whitesand shore, deep blue sky, gentle warm Andaman water, forest around, all colour flowers, refreshing breeze in night with magic jungle sounds. I liked a lot that it was very clean and good-looking. But there is one more very important thing about the hotel it is warmth and kindness of people working there, we felt like friends, thanks a lot for that, it was a pleasure to meet so open and sincere persons like Paul, Sak and others, we relaxed not only physically but with our mind and soul. Meal was fresh, healthy and delicious, good music in restaurant made dinners and darks very romantic, tents have all you need, even more - super king size bed and possibility to see from the bed rising from sea sun, plants, feel slight breeze and no insects!!! The only little minus was no hot water but to tell the truth you don’t need it really, cool water in hot tropics is better. I do really recommend Tenta Nakara to people who want pure relaxing rest on tropical island without crowds and noise, with smiling super people, with all you need to feel happy person enjoying the beauty of the life.
About the hotel: Well what can i say, the best bungalow, the best views and the resort to ourselves the best way to start your holiday. An amazing resort surounded by nature which you can just sit and stare at all day. The food was amazing and very cheap, along with the cocktails and beer. We only stayed two nights but just what you need if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and unwind after a long flights. The resort organised our transport from the airport to a jetty and then onto a long tail boat. We arrived at night so waking up the next morning was something special. Obviously there is no AC only a fan. But hey what the hell your in the jungle next to a beach and there are always cold drinks. Enjoy
About the hotel: I never imagine there is a place like this on earth! It is truly enjoying “Nature In the Most Natural Way!”
It was like camping in a tree house in the jungle with absolute comfort. The tent is definitely one of a kind and very unique. Sleeping on a firm, clean bed with a complete modern amenities yet rustic bathroom all under one roof is just amazing!! (We had one with a tree right in the center of our bathroom.) It definitely makes you feel a sense of being completely with nature… Awesome!
It is truly magical to fall asleep to the sound of nature with a romantically burning oil lamp and waking up just to watch the sunrise without even getting out of bed! An out of this world experience!
We loved the great food (something else!), cocktails, and hanging out in the restaurants watching yachts sail by. The staffs are very friendly (always with a smile).
It is a peaceful and beautiful place. Very quiet and ideal for people who want to get away from city lifestyle and completely be one with nature. We already can’t wait to return!
Highly recommended!!!
About the reservation service: Very simple. Problem free.
About the hotel: Tenta Nakara is truly a paradise! Their website is nice but it’s reality takes your breath away!!
There was a welcome crew who greeted us at the beach upon arrival. Our bags were brought to our “tented bungalow” which is set on hill side. The spectacular view of the ocean from our bed and all corners of our tent was just unbelievable and awesome!
We spent 2 nights listening to the sounds of crickets, frogs, birds, and the sound of waves hitting the shore 50 meters away. It was truly an unforgettable experience not available anywhere else. The oil lamp at night was just… romantic and 2 nights was not quite enough to take it all in!
The tent was huge with a big strong king size bed. The large screened window and doors give you a very open feeling with breeze flowing through and naturally keeping the mosquitoes away. It’s brilliantly designed and is definitely one of a kind that compliments the environment to ensure you can truly enjoy nature in it’s most original habitat.
You will never imagine the creative design of a rustic bathroom that is only half covered to make showering underneath the sun and the stars a truly refreshing experience! The service of staff was Tops! Not professionals but very attentive and eager to get us whatever we wanted.
All in all we loved this hidden paradise!
About the reservation service: Efficient and problem free
About the hotel: Our 4 nights in the Bungalow tent at the djungle hillside at Tenta Nakara (Naka Yai) was the 4 best days on our holiday and really something to remember. Way from the stream of tourist and very nice staff always ready and always with a smile to give away. Wonderful food but rather expensive and only a small notice mentioned that 17% was added to all meals when it was time to pay last day(normally that is included and you don t notice when not). Beach not as good as on the internet presentation and should also be cleaned more often in front of the bungalow area. Transfer fee to island must be clarified !
In total we can really recommend Tenta Nakara.
About the reservation service: Very easy to book but when it says free transfer you assume it is both ways (also from the Island). Pricelist also wrong said bth600 but we had to pay bth700.
