Nipa Resort, Phuket

I chose this hotel based on reviews I read on Agoda and Trip advisor both of which were spot on. Whilst I had booked for a standard room on Agoda, I had put in an electronic request to the hotel via agoda to book me for a deluxe pool access room (the hotel has only 7 of these) and they were very responsive to my request almost immediately sending me an e-mail with confirmation and allowed me to pay for the difference upon arrival. We were a honeymoon couple and they set up petals on the bed, in the bathroom and gave us a baked treat upon arrival - of five that we stayed at, this was one of the two hotels who did this for us in Thailand. The hotel was great and I have no complaints except that the room we were given had twin beds joined together to make a double (I can understand this as they only have 7 of such rooms which are in high demand). Whilst the bed was large enough we had to get housekeeping to pad the mattress with a blanket to ensure that we did not feel the divide in the bed. Nevertheless the staff were very helpful and in fact they offered a free upgrade to a junior suite but in the end we settled for a free dinner treat (3 course meal which I must admit was fantastic and the best food we ate in Patong) as a compensation for not having a double bed as all the 7 rooms with pool access were fully booked during our stay there. I must commend one of their staff at the check in desk (her name is Patima) who was very sweet to us and went out of her way to help us in all ways. She was certainly the most professional person I came across in all the 5 hotels I stayed in Thailand and extremely helpful with a big smile on her face right through. A very accommodating and pleasant individual indeed. We lost our camera in Patong area the evening before and the next day when we checked out and they allowed us to have a late check out and also leave out luggage at the hotel until later that evening whilst we searched for our camera (which we eventually found!) thank

Overall, I would highly recommend this resort. It's a great clean place to stay with rooms that are highly accomodating. It's only a short walk to the beach from here and other major attractions. I really miss the Nipa already!

Nipa resort is nice place to stay for holiday. Although it is located not very close to the beach, you still can reach the nearest patong beach by walk. The room is quite space. It is comfortable for a couple. Most needed facilites are provided. But lack of power point, only one free power point can be used. Wifi is provided at lobby only and charge applied. BTW, the resort is just opposit the biggest Patong Hospital. If you get lost, it is easy for you to find out the direction as no many people know nipa resort but most of local people know Patong hospital.
