We stayed in a Superior room at Nora Beach during March 2005 for a week. All the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The location of the hotel is ideal: close to the airport but we heard no noise from the airport and only a short taxi ride from Chaweng Beach costing no more than 100bt pp. Our room was huge, the bed was enormous, and we had a balcony (2nd floor) which overlooked the lodge rooms, although they were barely visable due to the extensive tree cover.
The hotel reception is spectacular, with a superb infinity pool which was a waterfall cascading between the lodge rooms. There is a cocktail bar here that has a live musical group each evening. It was a little quiet, but relaxing.
The restaurant served a variety of cuisine and had a number of speciality nights. The meals were more expensive then in Chaweng but you would expect that in a hotel. The food was excellent and plentiful ( a self service buffet) We had a range of Lobster, prawns, red snapper, green curry, red, curry, jasmine rice, any variety of meat from the grill, a huge variety of salads and vegetables. But all really good.
We tried the pool one day but there were a number of children which was off putting. The pool is lovely and spotlessly clean as iis the whole hotel and grounds.
The beach was a little dissaappointing as it was very rocky and small. However a short walk (100yds) to the right and the beach is fantastic.
All in all this hotel is well worth the money from a luxury feel. It is quiet and well planned, although because it is build on the the side of a hill, some may find a little hard work in the heat. I would definately go back and recommend it highly to all my friends and family
Thankyou for a wonderful week of luxory Nora Beach
