Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island
the nature is very beautyful but there is a lot of hustle and bustle. every day a lot of people come to visit the wonderful island for snorkeling.
the food is pretty bad and expensive. the stuff is not like you would expect the typical friendly thai poeple.
they are just on the make.
perfect for a day trip whit snorkeling!

Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island
The island was beautiful and our room very basic. Our bathroom had an infestation of Mosquitos which we couldn t seem to get rid of so I would advise bringing some strong repellant!
The food on the island was great, and the snorkelling excellent. The beach wasn t so comfortable to relax on as the sand was covered in pebbles and coral and the wooden loungers were very hard!
We had a lot of steps to climb to get to our room and there was a power cut one night so I would advise taking a torch!
It was a pretty quiet when we stayed and not a lot to do in the evenings so 2 nights were enough for us.

Nang Yuan Island Dive Resort, Nang Yuan Island
the resort was exactly what we expected - even a little bit better cuz I thought the electricity supply was only available for some hours. But it turned out to be around the clock. We booked the cheapest bungalows with fan w/o cold water. The only desadvantage for me was the bungalow was very far away from the beach. The staff told me only the room with air conditioner (2000 Baht) was clower. I would have booked it for saving all the way up to our bungalow.Generally speaking the island was very beautiful with crystal clear water. We enjoyed snorkling very much :)

I read many different reviews about this place, some good some bad, before I made my booking and there was one review that caught my attention and it went something like... forget about the miserable manager, expensive food and if you re staying in the standard accommodation, the hard bed and no flushing toilet...you are on one of the most beautiful places on earth... . I could not agree more with that review! Regarding the manager, if you are arrogant with him, he will be arrogant with you...greet him with a friendly smile and all will be ok from then on. The food is slightly more expensive than other places but this is because they have to ferry their goods to the island everyday, which will obviously hike the prices up...but in saying that, this place probabaly had some of the nicest food and nicest presentation of food that I experienced in my entire Thailand trip! For the standard room option, try and book A5, this will probably have the best sea views of all the rooms and only has a couple of steps to get to. I stayed in A6 which was a little higher up with a few extra steps but also had a great view. The room is very basic but was actually better than what I imagined. It has an air con plus a fan so you can chill the room up quite a lot. This island basically has 3 beautiful beaches to choose from and this place truely is a little slice of paradise! The water is very clear and perfect for snorkeling and diving. Another positive is that there are no annoying people trying to sell you stuff all the time so if it s peace and relaxation you re after, this place is it, but only for a short stay tho. I stayed here for 3 nights which I think is more than enough. Rather set your expectations a little lower when booking this place and then you ll be pleasantly surprised when you check in...remember, this is one of the most beautiful places on earth! Highly recommended and will definitley stay there again.

Nang Yuan is a beautiful place worth to stay,but the hotel rating and other expense are really too high after comparing with other islands.

We booked one of the cheap chalets...big mistake! It was at the top a hill accessed only by rickety wooden steps, which were slippy and dangerous. The room was extremely basic particularly the WC.
The handrail around our chalet deck was rotten. It collapsed when my wife lent on it. She was lucky not to injure herself. There was also a hole in the deck floor where a flooring plank had become loose. We complained and were offered another room which was more expensive. We were offered a 30% discount which we accepted. Although I think in the circumstances(my wife having had a bad fall)that a free upgrade would have been more appropriate.Our new room was much better but very overpriced.

Nangyuan island is definitely a perfect romantic getaway spot. It is, however, incredibly isolated after 5pm. There is only one restaurant at the hotel (which means only one place on the island), which serves decent food (meaning not awesome) at a slightly higher price than would be found elsewhere. The scuba and snorkeling cannot be beat (everyone from Koh Tao comes to Nangyuan everyday from 10am-5pm in order to do these activities). I stayed there with my partner in an A/C room, and I definitely enjoyed it for the 5 days I spent there. The sunrise/sunset is awesome. The toilets don t flush (you have a water bucket), but the staff is very nice and there are plenty of DVDs you can have for free. Beware - if you book online thru an agent you cannot get a diving course accomodation discount!

while the hotel was in a great location, the fan rooms were subjected to very loud generator noise ALL night. A friend in an a/c room did not suffer the noise.Also - very loud thumping music kept me awake after midnight. No hot water in the rooms - which should have been made clear on booking.
