Navatara Phuket Resort

We were pleasantly surprised at this stunning oasis tucked away from Rawai Beach. You cannot swim on Rawai beach but the Navatara offer a free shuttle to the nearby Nai Harn beach which is beautiful. The staff here are wonderful and made our stay perfect. They were friendly, all smiles and nothing was too much if we asked. The location and property itself is beautiful. We felt like we were in a tropical paradise. The swimming pool is stunning, lovely and cool and sits in the courtyard in the centre of the hotel rooms. We felt the rooms were apart enough to maintain our privacy although when on the balcony, you can see the other guests and rooms. Not a problem though as everyone was friendly. The room was huge and very clean, which is an absolute must for us. Towels and bedding was changed everyday if we wished and instructions on what to do were very clear. Smoking is allowed on the balcony only. There is a telephone in the room to speak to reception and order room service from 11am - 11pm. Breakfast was the only slight disappointment as my eggs benedict was sloppy, however, the rest of the food was ok. The staff were lovely, so friendly and helpful. We had been recommended this hotel by friends and it is one of the top hotels we went to in Phuket.

We really liked the fact that it is a family hotel, quiet and suitable for relaxation and rest. The room was spacious and very clean. Beach towels, flip-flops and umbrellas were provided. The air conditioning and internet worked well. 2 l of drinking water is provided in the room daily. The breakfast is traditional and was good and the hotel restaurant offers several options for lunch and dinner. The hotel pool is fabulous, it is open at any time and is placed in a fabulous garden. The hotel staff is extremely kind and helped us with advice or various requests. Rawai beach is a 5-minute walk away, but it is a beach dedicated to boats. In return, the hotel provides a shuttle to 2 nearby beaches that are very beautiful. A shuttle is also provided to a view point to watch the sunset The hotel is a short distance from bars and restaurants. During our stay, we took some amazing trips to Phi Phi, Coral Island, Racha

The staff were lovely and accommodating. Very polite and efficient. The hotel was clean and our room was beautiful. The bed was super comfy and the pillows were great. Our room led directly into the pool and the water was clean and refreshing. The pool is open 24 hours with a 9pm noise curfew which was respected by all. There was also security overnight. We ordered room service a few times and they were lovely. The cleaner was considerate and amazing. Super friendly and helpful. There is a 7 11 shop next door which was very convenient and we could walk into Rawai from the hotel. The hotel is quiet and not in the busy part. Only a 5 min walk down to the boats, beach, restaurants etc. Overall, a beautiful hotel with lovely staff. I would definitely stay again.

An excellent hotel. The facilities were very good, meals were of a high standard and very reasonably priced. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble and they made our stay very enjoyable. Good sized pool which was kept very clean. Always plenty of sunbeds. The room was a good size and kept very clean. A regular free shuttle service was provided for the nearby beaches and town centre.

I already miss Navatara and wish I could stay there for longer! It's tucked away in the quiet and local neighborhood of Yanui, with some lovely beaches nearby and loads of shops and restaurants within minutes reach. I had such amazing Thai food and massages in the area. It's right next to Rawai beach where you can hire long tail boats too. The resort itself feels intimate, with clean, spacious rooms and comfy beds. I felt such peace and tranquility there and slept so well, which was exactly what I needed after my long journey to Thailand!
