Nipa Resort

John said, "I booked this resort based on the photos and the very few reviews - so I was a little worried. Nevertheless, everything surpassed my expectations. This very new resort is simply one of the best for the price. The rooms are tastefully decorated, clean and spacious (nice high ceilings). A/C was great and there was Wifi Internet access available in my room (paid faster service and a free slower one good for email and chatting). The pool was excellent (deluxe pool access rooms are a nice touch and highly recommended. The staff was very friendly and helpful with decent English skills for all your basic needs. It was a pleasure to be greeted every day with good morning teacher after the pronunciation of teacher had been sorted out :) They made me feel at home for my entire stay and took care of everything I asked. The many staff take immaculate care of the rooms and many tropical plants and trees that surround the pool. The hotel is located within reasonable walking distance to Bangla and Jungceylon (right next to Patong Hospital if you have a map). They will arrange a cheap motorbike rental, supply a taxi service and offer a free shuttle to the beach at certain times throughout the day. The restaurant food was quite good and definitely had an authentic chef s touch. I really have nothing bad to say about this resort and I m often quite critical. I highly recommend this resort for anyone who wishes to have the look and feel of a high-priced resort without having to pay the extremely high price."

Sam said, "Really nice hotel and really nice room. Reception was an absolute Joke. Worst customer service in Thailand, they were rude, disrespectful and should not be at the front counter. I ve never experienced such problems in my whole life with hotel reception. They made errors with double booking and not delivering what they said they would. They ruined our New Years Eve with their compulsory dinner which was an absolute joke, very unorganised reception. Will definately not recommend this hotel only because of the people at the front desk who are useless."

Chan said, "Very nice hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Most room had nice pool-view. Not much choices in buffet breakfast but still good enough for people not so picky like us. The location was perfect, just about 10 min s walk to the big shopping centre, Jungceylon and just 5 min s walk to our favourite massage shop, Season s. The only drawback was the road outside the hotel was still under construction and there was a construction site right across the road. After raining, the road was muddy and full of puddles."

Seow said, "Nipa is a very new hotel. We took the pool access room and it was excellent. Since there were 3 of us in the room, the hotel was very thoughtful by providing all the toiletries(eg. bathtowels, bathrobes, slippers, umbrellas, soaps, shampoo, etc) in 3 sets instead of the usual 2. Room and the area around the hotel is clean and nicely designed. Location of the hotel is strategic with the central of Patong about 10 mins walk away. The hotel staffs very helpful and constantly smiling as well."

Nathan said, "Nipa Resort is definatley recommended by th both of us. It is a gorgeous resort, with beautiful views of the pool and the mountains, walking distance to everything, staff are the friendliest, always smiling!!! a 10/10 for sure!!!"
