Jia Ruting 2009-06-11	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island incredible view, quiet and clean; good place for snorkelling! nice restaurant and breakfast. good service; very basic facility in the room and far from the reception.	convenient, fast, no trouble
GONG JIAN / GUAN SHIJIE 2009-03-16	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island very beautiful resort and nice service! particularly see the island overlook from the mountain view point,very beautiful!will stay again and recommend!	very good!!! will use again!
chen wenjing 2009-03-03	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island Nangyuan is a very beatuful place but the resort charges a little high here. if the price is more reasonable i ll stay longer next time, Or it s better live in Koh Tao and just travel Nangyuan in the day time.	good web site~ easy to operate and very convenience
Paul Clarence Anderson 2009-02-18	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island Absolutely beautiful location. I had been there before to visit/snorkel, and had to bring my wife this time. We booked our first two nights in Thailand there. Asiana Airlines lost our luggage on the way, so we had to cancel 1st night and stay in Samui and wait for our bag (huge bummer). They were cool enough to give us 70% of our room cost for that 1st night towards our food bill. Bungalos were small, but all you need. Good water pressure for shower, tough to walk to from restaraunt. Dont suggest for those who do not get around well, as you have to climb many stairs and rocks to get to your room. We dove w/ the dive resort there: DO NOT SUGGEST! Their eqquipment is old and decreped. Staff does not fix leaks or problems...they just say that it is old and it should be OK . Wife found tarantula in BCD on 2nd day. Enough said. All staff friendly. Prices for food are about 3 times that what you will pay in Town of Koh Tao. That is the case at most all the resorts in Koh Tao though: You get the conveinence of food/massage/whatever, at your resort, but pay 3 times more than in Town. Definately suggest going to this resort, at least for a couple nights to enjoy the remoteness, then move on, if you are like us and get bored easily.	Great
Viktor Olsson 2009-02-17	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island It was a very pleasant stay! We arrived a day early than we had booked, because the boat connections from mainland had problems, but they had no problem helping us out on the resort with changing check-in and check-out days. They also help with the booking of the return trip to mainland. Everybody was very nice, only problem was that during evenings there isn t much to do... perfect for couples and families that can entertain themselfs. The restaurang had good food but was a bit overpriced. And deepending on what accomodations you choose (price randge)there can bee a bit of a walk to get to the bungalow. But overall impression of the resort and the diving was absolutly great, snorkling from the beach is perfect.	Good booking information, and we got respons back almost imediately trough e-mail. And they anwsered any question you had directly via e-mailen.
Poma simona 2009-02-02	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island isola molto bella ma servizio e ristorante molto scadente.Bungalow standard di bassissimo livello, neanche dotati di lenzuola e sciacquone del gabinetto.Personale sgarbato e incurante delle esigenze del cliente...	buono ma dovrebbero dare maggiori informazioni sulla struttura
chen ying-hui 2009-01-08	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island There is the most lovely place I ve been to , also the staffs and the cutest 15 cats + 2 doggys there..haha. If u re seeking in a great sunny afternoon lay down to the beach, all u can see is nothing but the clean sea with lots of variety of fish--that s it !! Wish all of u can enjoy the quiet beautiful island just like me. We just love it !!	good service system and also efficiency but hope the price can be lower and lower.
Arrissa Thuetham 2009-01-01 to 2009-01-03	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island The hotel is beautiful location and the staff very friendly. We stayed in a fan room no.F5, the room was beautiful with complete seaview. I recommended this room.	fast and easy
JIANG Feng 2008-08-23	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island Very very beautiful scenery from the room! Every thing is fine but without hot watser shower in the standard room. But if you don t mind it or you d like to pay more for a deluxe room, it is strongly recommended for your trip to Koh Nangyuan.	good
Yan Qin 2008-08-20	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island The resort is very attractive for the explorers.The facilities are simple. There is no shower near lobby area for guests after activities and hotel room is a little far from the beach. There is no hot water for shower in the room. This is need to inform guest in the advance. Staff is very kind and professional.	Excellent.
IANNICELLI ANTONIO 2008-08-17 until 2008-08-19	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island very nice and romantic place but with a bad restaurant!
Erin Marshall 2008-07-21 until 2008-07-25	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island It was a very beautiful location. What they don t tell you is that the ferry s to koh Tao end at 5pm. Water taxi s to/from Nang Yuan after that costs around 500-800 bhat. So basically you are stuck there. If you are ok with that, then its a beautiful place.
Claire Oborne 2008-06-22 until 2008-06-25	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island Such a beautiful island! Didn t want to leave, literally like being in paradise. The room was just standard but the view was fantastic, right on the beach. Would recommend one of the huts in the middle rather than up either of the mountains as there s lots of unstable steps to climb - scary doing it in the dark. Also they say that the view is better up the mountains, but a lot of the greenery is overgrown, blocking your view and making the middle section better. Lots of people have complained about the staff and service - we were always served good food very promptly so missed out on the bad experiences of others.	Perfect
Sophie Best 2008-06-21 until 2008-06-22	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island Service and food really disappointing but the island is stunning and really well worth a visit.
Family Månsson 2008-03-25 until 2008-03-27	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island Nang Yuan is a really beautiful place! Bungalow is not new, but clean. However, it is the island itself with its environment and atmosphere that makes the place, and it becomes your own paradise when the day guests leave early in the afternoon. Excellent snorkeling and diving directly from the beach.	Easy
withheld 2008-03-15 until 2008-03-18	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island the islands themself are extremely beautiful and the coral reefs are stunning pity the same cant be said of the resort itself. They gave me room F8 which is a very far long hike and climb up a steep hill along a rickety wooden bridge which is in the process of collapsing. i certainly wouldnt have used it at night. the room was awful, dirty, and need of a lick of paint. I refused the room and was told i would have to pay 1500 baht extra per night for an airconditioned room near the beach(D12). this i gladly did. what a difference, a much nicer room which was much more modern and cleaner than F8. The manager is also a grumpy miserable man with no sense of humor. food is ridiculously expensive as well.	faultless
Shum Wai Kwong Calvin 2008-02-27 until 2008-02-29	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island Only one resort on the island. Food is not good but you can see the beautiful sunset and the atmosphere is quite calm at evening.	Fast and efficient
ZHU 2008-02-07 until 2008-02-08	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island Good view, but there are many ants in the room.	GOOD!
Grahn 2008-01-24 until 2008-01-25	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island A great place to relax, bath, snorkeling and diving. Heavenly Island for romance and a lovely place for a tremendous sunset. The bungalows was OK but the restaurants service and capacity to serv the food to all guest at the same table in fairly same time was not acceptable. It was nearly nothing on the plates and two persons finished their plate before the next two plates arrive and our grandsons (2,5 year) dish arrives 5-10 minutes after everyone finished their dinner, (we ordered pancakes for him, how hard is that?. Miserable service and very bad timing (no timing at all, actually). However, I can recommend the soft shelled crab and thai dishes, but if you order pasta, ask for two portions if you don´t wish to have a starter. The fish was to dry and grilled to hard that the meat was almost gone. But I highly recommend them to train their restaurant staff in service, timing and the english language (I´m Swedish). Overall, I really recommend this place, It´s absolutely worth a visit for it´s spectacular beauty. I´m gladely come back for a visit.	I book our bungalows at Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort on their website and it worked perfectly.
Andrey Kolybelnikov 2008-01-16 until 2008-01-18	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island The location of the hotel leaves no doubt: it is a must when visiting Koh Tao. The water is much cleaner than anywhere else in the area, the dive- and snorkelling-sites are there and the corals are nice. In the evening, when there are just a handful of people around, the experience is almost mystical. There are very nice wooden ways around the island. Take a walk on them at twilight, when there are lights: this you won t forget in years. Promise. The island makes a great impression and the very basic accomodation comes actually very natural and is overall OK. There is only one big BUT: the stuff at the hotel s restaurant and the restaurant itself. It is NOT Thailand. It is so much out of the general rule. Very strange.
Ling Chik 2007-10-04 until 2007-10-05	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island Expensive, old rooms and facilities.	No reply to my e-mail regarding pick-up service.
Erik Hviid 2007-07-20 until 2007-07-21	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island What a great place on earth (and sea) and then a nice and clean accommodation too. Services should have top ratings and then there are even great discounts on the accommodation when signing up for diving school/events. Highly recommendable place.	Extremely satisfying with status reports, recognition of payments etc.
Vibeke Kallermann 2007-05-10 until 2007-05-13	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island This is a special place. We stayed here for 3 nights and with only one restaurant and one bar there is not mutch to do BUT we did relax, we did much snorkling and this is the most beatyfull place to do that. We stayed in junior suite and the view from here was fantastic, it was a nice and clean room. The staff was very friendly and most helpfull. We will be back again no doubt about that.	Perfect again. It works every time.
Jerry Jaderholm 2007-02-13 until 2007-02-16	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island Lovely hotel. Great breakfast. Wonderful staff. We stayed on the 4th floor of the main building with beautiful water view. Excellent location on the beach. Will be back!	Went very well. Prompt response.
Louise Alfredsson 2007-01-17 until 2007-01-20	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island Very nice place! Everything was perfect and the staff was very nice. Good food in the restaurant!	Everything was working fine!
kate ehrenberg 2006-11-26 until 2006-11-28	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island Location: beautiful view, quiet and peacefull in mornings before the hoards of tourists arrive on boats and kill the serenity! Food: Over-priced and not great quality Staff: STOLE A WALLET AND TOWEL FROM OUR LOCKED BUNGALOW!!! Not happy	Booking service quick and user-friendly.
Wen Yuhua 2006-10-08 until 2006-10-10	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island a very beautiful place to relax and enjoy yourself with the magnificent sight.	very good! i like your service.
Yuan Peng 2006-08-30 until 2006-08-31	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island Wonderful island and lovely house, the room is clean and the A/C works well, no hot water (who cares?). If you want to spend a whole quiet night and a peaceful morning on Nang Yuan Island, the resort is great for you!	I have never used sawadee.com before, the service is very fast and efficient. 100% will use it again!
Tania Harvey 2006-08-24 until 2006-08-29	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island The island itself is very beautiful and we generally enjoyed our 5 day stay there. However for the price its not worth it - on Koh Tao and Koh Samui we were offered better rooms and service for less than half the price (our room 2500THB on Nang Yuan). The island is open to day visitors from 10am to 5pm so the tiny beach and the one and only restaurant gets very overcrowded. Food is overpriced for what it is and the restaurant service is especially bad - in our 5 days we got 3 meals to our table which were the wrong ones!! After taking a diving course we were pleased to learn that we would get our room discounted - however when it came to check out it didnt happen because we had booked through an agent Sawadee.com and no discount if thats the case. Overall we were very disheartened by the end of it... paying alot of money for the whole 5 days - its a shame really cause the place is beautiful, the diving is great (as well as the dive staff!) but we just expected more than what we got!!! My advice - spend a couple of hours on the island on one of the day trips and then move on - make sure that your lunch is included in your day trip price cause its nearly 300THB for the standard smorgasboard!
NGUYEN Thu Dung Estelle 2006-07-13 until 2006-07-14	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island standard room with ac (d11) was well situated : nice view near beach but was really very basic. The electricity cut during day is a shame and the buffet offers almost always the same dishes. I would definitely recomend this island as a one day snorkeling/diving trip but I don t recomend to stay overnight.	very good for our 7 hotels booked
Sonia & Max from Canada! 2006-07-07 until 2006-07-09	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island Amazing, pituresque island off the shores of Koh Tao. Lomprayah high speed catamaran took us from Koh Samui straight to Koh Nang Yuan (we had a reservation). Beautiful mountain view after an arduous hike up the hill and rocks - many camera opportunities up there. The restaurant is okay, breakfast buffet doesn t have many choices; there are many choices on lunch/dinner menu but boring if you re there too long. The service in all could be better, especially at the front desk upon arrival - try to make a better first impression! We spent 3 days and 2 nights on Koh Nang Yuan - for us that was enough time. Also, be warned that regardless of what room you book, ALL THE POWER on the island is shut down from 10am to 5 pm. Therefore, if you book an air-conditioned room (like we did!), it won t work during that time!! Although the island and beach are so beautiful and you will be on the beach, it is nice to have a cool room to take refuge in so that you don t get over-heated! Furthermore, make sure you occupy the beach chair and umbrella by 12noon because there are THRONGS of day tourists that will take them over! The day tourists is a big downfall - they fill the beaches and cause traffic while snorkeling!! They also bring loaves of bread into the water to take pictures! The fish come in schools - they actually bite thinking you are food yourself! They are trained to be fed by humans, it s pretty sad. The resort sells the loaves to these people! I mentioned how unnatural this was to one of the dive guides in the dive shop and he brushed it off! Feeding the fish for photo opportunities really bothered us. We had room K1; beautiful beach view and view of middle and north islands. It was a steep climb up concrete steps; not for the un-fit. We loved how the rooms were built into the natural surroundings and rocks. Basic decor, twin-beds, air-conditioning and fan in K1. Non-flush toilet - you actually have a tiled tub next to the toilet with a plastic scoop used to throw water down toilet bowl for a flush! They are common all over islands. We did not have hot water, so make sure you shower before sun down or the water does get pretty cool! We also rented the underwater camera for 2 hours; it was such a hassle to get our CD of the pictures we took afterwards. I had to ask the guy in the dive shop five times for my CD! He said he forgot or it wasn t a good time each time I went back! He was such a slacker. Big turn off. Bad service in regards to camera rental. Room was cleaned daily and gave clean towels. You could also rent out-dated DVD movies for free! The tides are fun to watch. So cool how much sand on the beach becomes engolfed by water in the evening and night. Very windy at night too. In sum, it s a great place to be for one or two nights just for the experience of being on such an idyllic island setting. By the third day you ll probably swim to Koh Tao if you had to... you ll know what we mean when you experience it! Enjoy the adventure :)	Excellent; deposit and final payment were perfect!
Jie Miao 2006-05-04 until 2006-05-05	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island nice place, Nang yuan island is so beautiful and quite place, suit for relax.	effective, fast
Fourcade jean jacques 2006-04-08 until 2006-04-12	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island tres bien. pas animation le soir. tres beau snorkeling	tres bien
Qi Bei Yi 2006-04-01 until 2006-04-02	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island A great island, same as the Resort is. The staff is friendly and the view is wonderful.	a very efficient websit. Thanks a lot.
John Wolfe 2006-03-01 until 2006-03-02	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island A beautiful gem of a place. It was quiet and secluded, friendly staff. We will plan on spending at least 4 days there next time we visit. The snorkeling opportunities right there at the resort were outstanding and there is also a dive school there, which I hope to complete the next time we come.	Everything I booked through Sawadee went very smoothly and I think the rates quoted were better than those quoted with some of the usual online services I generally use.
jerry vincent nix 2006-01-29 until 2006-01-30	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island great value, courteous staff, good food, beautiful location. We loved this place, but they do realize that you are stranded on their island. This is not to say it was unpleasant, but there was a seeming limit to customer satisfaction and the prices were a bit higher on things that shouldn t have been (i.e., i know why water should cost more, but not the fish). However, we ll go back, and i m sure we will enjoy it again.	went over without a hitch. however, the staff at this hotel apparently made the arrangements for our transfer to the Jungle Club in Koh Samui - which led to a .5km walk. I specifically said I wanted/needed EVERYTHING to get to the train station in SuratThani, but we got charged another 50 baht per person at the separate transfer from the ferry bus to the VIP bus (for a 5km ride to the train station). That was unexpected and silly.
Rose MacAuslan 2005-09-10 until 2005-09-15	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island We stayed at Nang Yuan for five days and can honestly say we wont be coming back. Yes it was beautiful. A tropical paradise. However this was not enough to outweigh the quality of the resort. We stayed in a double bed fan bungalow. Because there was three of us we had to pay more for an extra bed than the room itself. The extra bed was a very thin mattress on the floor. We didnt have any other space in the room and so had to move around to get to the bathroom on the main bed. Each night we were greated by many cockroaches which ran over the beds. However, the most difficult thing was to get to our hut from the main island we had to swim. The resort only provided a boat between the two islands at 6pm and 7pm. Therefore to get back to our hut to shower and change before the evening we had to swim with our bags carried on our heads. However some nights the current was so strong this was nearly impossible. When we asked to be taken back to our island by boat we were either told to swim or to wait until 6pm when they went out to pick people up. Although the food in the restaurant was good, it was in noway outstanding and certainly not worth what they charged. The prices, by thai standards, were unbelievably expensive. Bottled water cost 30baht compared to around 10baht everywhere else in thailand.Because plastic bottles arent allowed on the island you have to buy the water from there, so we ended up spending huge amounts on water alone-ridiculous. The diving, however, was fantastic!!The japanese garden is one of the most beautiful things i ve ever seen. The easy diving instructors-Camilo, Timo and Danish, are amazing. Definitely visit Nang yuan, it is beautiful, but stay on Ko Tao!!	Excellent, no problems at all.
Beyers Kleynhans - South Africa 2005-07-14 until 2005-07-15	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island Idyllic setting. We stayed at the family suite and double rooms, which were sufficiently comfortable, but provided nothing special. Great place to stay if you are a scuba diver, Eazi Divers provide an excellent service in probably the best location in the gulf of Siam. Resort Service is mediocre though, probably because it is the only facility on the island. Special requests are blatantly ignored.	Excellent - we stayed at 8 hotels during our 3 week holiday in Thailand without a single problem. More information on different rooms at hotels will be helpful.
Chan & Lee 2005-07-13 until 2005-07-15	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island We ve been in nanyuan island by daytour last year. it is beautiful so we decided to spend 2 nights here this year. We are not disappointed, it is great, everyone should stay here at least one time in their life. Many small fishes swin around you while snorkel. we lived in L5, it is far from the beach, so next time we will choose rooms nearby. the restaurant is great, thai style food is good. but there are cats stray around, sometimes they will jump to your chair and table. just because i am afraid of cats and dogs, it make me nervous when i dine.i will spend more if the restaurant provide room services next time. Actually , this year i found the island become crowded. many boats around, noisy than last year. some guys kayaking over the coral area, some kids feed the fish by potatos chips and then throw the packing on the beach, i am afraid it will damaged the coral and the enviroment. meanwhile,the water was not clear than last year. we do hope that next year we come again, the island will become better.	booking on sawadee is ok, i try to booked this hotel via 3 agents, only sawadee reply quick and efficient. so we will booked through this agent next time.
Mrs Maj Stenhammar-Piltz 2005-06-24 until 2005-06-25	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island We really enjoyed our 1-night stay at the island as our main intent was snorkeling. The bungalows (standard double)though a bit run down were adequate, the breakfast buffet was good with a nice selection and the staff was very friendly. If you come for the snorkeling and diving this is good value for your money.	It s always a pleasure dealing with sawadee.com, prompt answers to all inquiries and excellent service over all.
Ms Paddy Murdock 2005-03-30 until 2005-04-04	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island Absolutely amazing scenery and pristine environment; I don t think I have ever had such a view from our room (upgraded to Q1 which was worth every penny ,as standard air room twin was ok but no flush toilet = a bit smelly and the double standard rooms are too small for 2 people really...this place is interesting it could be an absolute goldmine if it was well run...we are disappointed with management s attitude to the fact that the booking agency we paid a deposit through( not sawadee ) did not pass on money and booking to Nang Yuan Resort and (refund still be sorted with THEM ...if no money forthcoming will publish further detailsabout the Koh Tau agency concerned but be warned only pay thru Sawadee!)so had to pay twice...poor customer relations /service. quoting Thai law (ha!)for why they didn t have to bother...this kind of attitude will never attract repeat business from tourists..suspect they don t care... I think I smell govt sinecure jobs,perhaps?????.They reckon they only accept/welcome bookings directly to their website but their internet is always down so go figure...and they didn t want to know about Sawadee service...rather strange.I suspect this place likes to go nice and easy and live off daytripper revenue...it is leased from Thai govt ;it is an eco issue (works ,too its spotless)This means also that there is no water supply (shortage)for most of the day so folks ,if you need to go and you are in an upgrade room with flush toilet..too bad!I filled a bucket each day but the maid tipped it out while cleaning...duh!!!!The mandi toilet in the restaurant is grim at times and has to be approached in bare feet because it is compulsory wading pool to get to it...below par and smelly at times You have to buy water for an adequate supply of drinking water in the heat ( 2 bottles a day free!)and no plastic bottles allowed. Yes the restaurant is a little limited but food is quite ok and really cheap like most of Thailand in real terms. The Dive School was great,overall according to my partner although most of the instructors were excellent (Sth African and others; the French guy was a bit switched off and couldn t care less apparently)their hire gear was a bit limited. Breakfast was really disappointing and unimaginative ...noodles ,Chinese /Thai stuff,not much allowance for Western tastes, huge wasted amounts of hunks of cake and bread ,left to the flies; good eggs, but not enough of what eco style resorts should offer ; a variety of fresh fruit etc it all went fast ,but did anyone notice/care?Cable tv switched off abruptly straight after brekky while you are watching CNN...staff don t care if you are watching it at the time.Bring dvds to watch n your room,their dvd library is at least 5 years out of date. Overall,If you want a divine,and i mean outstanding location ,clean ,clear water and beaches this is for you, but be aware of couldn t care less attitude of management,and lots of chattering daytrippers pottering around in the water and snorkelling plus Europeans determinedly going for blisters andsunstroke. transport there... make sure you have it straight that the Catamaran takes you all the way to the island not just to Koh Tau ...some confusion over this had us stuck at that unfriendly little office/waiting ara for the Lompraya Catamaran for an hour with overworked below par mandi toilet and unhelpful ,rude snotty Thai girls on the desk..we could have gone on on the Cat!!! Think Koh Samui has the edge in friendliness,services and service if less pristine Miss P	see above
LUCINDA 2005-03-27 until 2005-03-29	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island The island is absolutely beautiful and definitely worth visiting. Hotel room was decent and clean enough with semi-effective air-conditioning. The hotel restaurant is not of the high standard we experienced in Koh Samui but this does not matter greatly as it is such a great place to be.	Excellent
lei shi 2005-03-13 until 2005-03-14	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island fantastic environment, fantastic island and fantastic hotel. I like it so much	check out time is 10:30, too early
Kenneth Stewart 2005-02-25 until 2005-02-27	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island I would not stay here again at any price due to the poor restaurant service. It brings a new meaning to the term tourist trap as there is only one restaurant on the island and the food is poor, the service absolutely awful and the prices double those in Koh Tao. On our last night, it took 20 minutes to get a menu, another 20 minutes to take our drink & food order, and another 40 minutes to get our first drink (yes, one hour & 20 minutes from we we sat down). We brought it up to the self declared Hotel Manager (who I noticed also doubles as the egg cook in the mornings) and he refused to discount or even give us a complimentary beverage. He told us it was impossible because he would have to do the same thing to the other guests (as there were other several other tables in our section that were upset). The next morning I talked to the owner and he credited our meal. On the positive side, the dive staff is excellent and the surroundings beautiful. The rooms are also clean and some afford a very good view. Next time, I would just come for the day on a long-tail and avoid the restaurant. If I did stay the night, I would take the hotel shuttle boat into Koh Tao and eat at a decent restaurant for half the money. Bottom line, the resort seems to be sold-out during high season and their restaurant is short staffed.
Stephen Brickett and Claire Mowatt 2005-02-22 until 2005-02-24	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island Nang Yuan was a true escape from the real world - you can relax on this island! It is beautiful, the sea lovely and the snorkelling ideal! The hotel was lovely and the rooms serviced every day. The rooms have air-con. The resturant was ok - the service slow. The breakfast was included and was good but make sure to get there early otherwise you may not have much to choose from. All-in-all, a beautiful place to visit for a day or two.
Xinghua Pu 2005-02-07 until 2005-02-08	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island Paradise!! Don t miss Nangyuan if visit Samui or Koh Tao, and better to stay at least one night there. We lived in room Q1, which has the unbelievable view also shown in the resort s advertising brochure. Highly recommend room Q1-Q3. Staff service is excellent, although the inhouse facility is not as good as in Samui, such as the toilet flushing & TV, but the exclusive view will make you forget. So many fishs around us when snorkeling. Next time I ll try scuba diving. Don t forget to take your water proof cover for your camera! Pricing is also very good. I should expected to pay twice or 3X for what I got here. Overall, it s a very very pleasant & memorable experience for us during staying in Nangyaun. Thank all the kind staff, and Thank Thailand!	No problem at all, very efficient!
Kristina Vuckovic 2005-01-30 until 2005-02-05	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island The resort is a little run down. The service at the restaurant is very slow. On 4 occasions the waiters forgot our meals/drinks. Often waited close up to an hour before receiving meals/drinks. Overpriced for what you get. The 3 beaches are beautiful. Water is clean and clear, good snorkelling, however, lots of dead coral on the sand which makes walking a little uncomfortable without shoes.	Easy, quick and simple.
Marco Piano 2004-09-06 until 2004-09-11	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island This is a unique and great holiday resort destination if you want diving, relaxation, diving, snorkelling, diving, beautiful beaches and more diving.... I completed the 4-day open water course on my stay and would thoroughly recommend it, as the staff at the dive shop (Sally, Camillo, Raphael, Daniel, Chantelle etc) are all very helpul and make you feel like part of the crew... although I booked a Deluxe bungalow it still seemed quite basic, the only Deluxaties being the hot water and the aircon (a must). However you will not find a place like it anywhere else and the service was on the whole good. Well worth a visit but make sure you pack all your luxuries and take them with you.	VERY EFFICIENT
Maria Rigotti 2004-09-04 until 2004-09-07	Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island The place is very beautifuul and we did the best snorkeling during our stay in the Golf of Thailand. We booked the best boungalow on the island and the view was really amazing. The only restaurant is too expensive and the food is very common. Only the expensive dishes are not bad.	very good and efficient
