Very confusing ‘raft situation’: during day raft person comes very quickly, but past 9 pm you have to call reception to ask for assistance, which may be not comfortable to wait in the dark forestry area since there’s no light. The way around on a round is also long and without any road lights. Might not be suitable/comfortable for solo female travellers.

Very close to the airport, great for 1-2 nights stay, quiet area, room was clean, pool was nice and clean as well. Breakfast was great with lots of Thai options, but you if are up to more “western” breakfast then it might be not your thing: there’s egg station, but not porridge or options like English breakfast.

Dirty pool and awful wifi connection Also barmen were so slow to make a cocktail and didn’t make it well after I asked for it 3 times

I liked the jungle garden and food on breakfast

Room came with free airport pick-up. Despite providing my flight details twice, and what I thought was an acknowledgement that I was aware there was an extra fee due to after hours, there was still no taxi to collect me. It appeared there was some miscommunication regarding confirmation I was aware of the extra $200 baht taxi charge. This information had been sent to me twice so yes I was aware. As a solo female traveller first time to Phuket, it was a bit daunting having to locate the taxi rank and not knowing if I was using a reliable and honest service. The hotel refused to reimburse me but agreed to provide free breakfast instead.

Very good value for the price as my villa had a spa bath and plunge pool and was spacious. Convenient option for a night or two if needing to be close to the airport when arriving or departing Phuket.

Besides looking clean on the surface, with a closer look it was not so. We found a dead cockroach in our room and the pool had a lot of leaves from the trees. Also keep in mind that the prices in the restaurant and bar do not include VAT and service fee so the final bills from those are quite a lot bigger than estimated.

Impressive facilities, close to the beach and the airport, friendly staff who helped with the luggage.

TV is a comfort specially traveling alone with kid. In my villa the TV was 2 days broken, only last day a kindy receptionist helped to request the fix. Another thing, is about the transfer in my mind they simply pick up you at the airport, but not, it requested few details, I misunderstood so in the end I organised my own transfer both ways. The driver from the hotel appeared in the middle of my breakfast in the last day and he shouted : "Let's go because I have more passagers". Denitely I was glad for organising my own transfer back.

The pool and the food are very good! The ferry raft is quite funny and a good adventure for kids. The old guy who patiently takes us to the other side is very good. To have the beach so close is wonderful. Location surrounded by green is superb. If I would stay there again? Sure.

We booked three villas for our visit. Even though we had explained via email that we wanted each villa to pay separately we were charged for the whole three. This was a bit frustrating and inconvenient for us. The bathroom in our villa was very very hot. I'm not sure what can be done about this though.

The villa was large and comfortable. It was very clean. The breakfast was lovely and fresh with a good variety to choose from. The bar area was enjoyable. All the staff are lovely. The pool is beautifully presented and spotless and the setting is perfect 👌

There were a few drawbacks to note. The furniture in the room was quite basic and could use some improvement to match the overall quality of the villa. Additionally, the pool was a bit dirty and in need of maintenance during our stay. Otherwise, it is a lovely stay with the hotel and value for money.

Overall, my experience at L'esprit de Nai Yang was pleasant. We booked a one-bedroom garden villa, which was spacious and provided a quiet retreat away from the noise pollution of the streets. The room is clean and well kept. The location was ideal, as it was far from the busyness of the street yet within walking distance to Nai Yang Beach, which was accessible by a small raft. Lots of trees in the areas, which makes the place look nicer.

Would have liked the pools to be cleaner. That was one of the main reasons I didn’t jump in. No real complaints about the establishment otherwise. The main culprit of a horrible stay was just the extreme heat and humidity which caused major exhaustion and dehydration. And in turn, mostly in my room trying to stay cool.

They had very beautiful rooms. Loved the pool access. The staff were very welcoming, friendly, and accommodating in every aspect. Also enjoyed the more slow paced and relaxing atmosphere, along with the location conveniently close to the airport.

The swimming pool was quite warm and not very refreshing however the weather was ridiculously hot for a few days prior to our arrival which would have played a part. We found this in most swimming pools in Thailand.

We had a 10.30 pm flight and had left phi phi island very early that morning, arrived at hotel at 10.am having booked a basic hotel room on 3rd floor (not villa) for just 1 day. The room was ready by 10.30am ! It was perfect for our needs. Staff were so friendly and accomodating. Location was quiet and secluded and perfect for out last day. They even offered us breakfast on arrival given we weren’t staying overnight. We swam in the pool before taking a short relaxing stroll to the beach (via the national park) where there are markets/ beach restaurants etc. (note, the beach is literally 2 minutes from hotel & markets/restaurants/swimmers maybe 5 minute shady walk along the beach). It was perfect for our 9 hour stay. Airport was no more than 10 minutes away and transport organised by reception. Amenities in room were basic though perfectly adequate. We didn’t require anything fancy for the day just a good shower and air con. We would have liked to stay a few more nights and tried a villa had time permitted. It was very relaxing and felt like we were miles from anywhere yet we were in fact very close but hidden away in our own little oasis. Surprised we got what we got for the price point or. not too dissimilar to airport hotels on main roads.

They refused to refill water and prefer using plastic

Amazing place, location is really great, in the national park, beach is so close and you will find a lot of good places to eat or have a drink, rooms are really clean

Not a lot of sun beds around the pool but beach close enough. Smoking at dining tables, should not be allowed

Really nice hotel, we travelled for 3 months , 17 stays and this was our favourite. Can’t say why, it just has a nice vibe, and staff have great personalities. Enjoyed the ferry to the beach

We weren't sure how to get the 'ferry man' back at midnight, so daren't walk through the dark trees to then be stranded. The walk around by road looked quite a long one (a good 5 mins in the car) and no/very few street lights. Apart from that all was good

We just stayed on our first night before another flight to Koh Samui. The transport from the airport (arranged through the hotel) was quick and well organised. On arrival the staff were friendly and check in smooth. We arranged a return taxi the following day easily. A good sized room (but no lift to the 2nd floor, i'm sure bags would be carried for you if you asked reception) with a lovely view over the pool and palm trees. We took the 'ferry' over the large stream and walked in near darkness to the little beach village (torch on your phone needed) - definitely do this! There's plenty of bars and restaurants, we found one with live music, a cool fan and a beach view. The food was cheap and delicious and they even gave us a lift home as the taxi's had finished (we did pay them :-) ). So, even if you're only there 1 night, make the most of it and see what's around you, don't hide in the hotel. The next day the breakfast was very nice, not top notch but great before setting off back to the airport; omelette, hot and cold options and helpful, friendly staff. We'd definitely stay here again between flights. Not sure i'd want to be here for a full week or two but a good stopover.
