This was one of the best hotel/resort experiences I've had anywhere in the world. If Phuket wasn't beautiful enough already, the Naka Phuket makes me want to return to Thailand just to visit this property again. The entire staff is super helpful and nice. Breakfast is amazing. Plenty of western and local choices. Note that some rooms require walking up a lot of steps. If you have mobility issues, consider requesting a room that is more easily accessible. With its private beach, we didnt NEED to go anywhere. If you're debating between the different areas in Phuket, especially Patong, know that Patong is very busy. The nightlife is wild. If you want this, great. But I was much more happy staying away from it all yet having access to it by 15 min shuttle or taxi ride. Also note, if you stay at this property, you're not going to walk anywhere. The hotel is secluded and the area, along with the property, is very hilly. The hotel provides a tuk tuk to take you anywhere you need within the property, and you will take a taxi or the hotel shuttle to go anywhere else. Someone commented in a previous review about a drainage pipe feeding into the water near the private beach. The review had me second guessing this place, but it was very small and hardly noticeable...plus far enough away that I didn't have concerns about sewage or anything. Bottom line... The Naka is top notch! If its in your budget, even if you have to stretch a bit, its well worth it!
