"We stayed at the Navakiri Boutique Resort recently for 3 nights. The first thing I’d like to mention is the staff.. Excellent and very friendly.. everyone of them. Upon arrival at the hotel, we did get a bit of a wow… The reception area is very welcoming, with an excellent layout. Also very stylishly decorated. When entering our room, there was an initial wow, but that quickly disappeared. At a glance, the room was excellent and again very well decorated.. But the room lacked practicality. There was some hanging space for clothes, but no drawer space. The only drawer in the room had been filled with the teas, coffees etc.. Also, the safety deposit box is located on the floor, which is probably the best place to secure it (onto the concrete/tiles floor), but accessing it was a nightmare.. Might be okay for the younger generation, or for gymnasts, but not the best location for the majority of people.. The bed was super comfy, albeit no bedside furniture for phones etc.. Excellent TV, great size and very new.. The bathroom was lovely to look at, but again, anything but practical. It did have a bathtub, but with a shelf at one end, and the taps at the other end, it wasn’t possible to lie in the bath, which in my opinion defeats the purpose of having it.. And the rain shower was excellent.. The only problem with it was that it wasn’t separated in any way, and was located about 30-40cms from the toilet, so after showering, the rest of the toilet area was saturated, and unusable for a period until it dried.. I’m not sure the base construction of the hotel is that good either, as there was significant noise from adjoining rooms.. A nice touch was the complimentary mini bar, which contained snacks and soft drinks.."

"Overall this hotel are good but the facilities maybe to old. The room are big and comfortable. Near with town . Reception also friendly and can speak malay. Environment nice. Front door cracked and difficult to close"

"A lovely older hotel, but well-maintained (very good by Thai standards). The staff is very friendly and helpful. On the street in front of the hotel, there are many restaurants, a Lotus Fresh Market, two 7-1s, and a hospital. I can wholeheartedly recommend it."

"It's centrally located, close to both a food market and a grocery market. Sights within walking distance include the city museum, a mosque, a Chinese temple, a Buddhist temple, and streets adorned with street art. We were placed on the 7th floor, which offered beautiful views of the city and river. The window overlooked the courtyard, so street noise wasn't a problem. There's no kettle, but they provide two bottles of water and toiletries for the bathroom. It's a plus that they provide a third pillow for the bed; I like two pillows. The bed is comfortable, and the room is spacious and bright. Breakfast wasn't included with the booking, but you can purchase it on site for 120 baht per person (scrambled eggs, sausages, and toast). Ferry tickets to Langkawi are available at reception. We had some minor plumbing issues (water pressure, clogged sink; I recommend the hotel install a strainer in the sink, otherwise everything gets in there because there's no stopper)."

"We stayed 5 nights at Akira Lipe Resort and 3 nights at Mali Sunrise Beach Resort. Although Mali Resort was more expensive, overall Akira Resort was much better in almost every aspect. In terms of cleanliness, swimming pool condition, facilities, and staff friendliness, I honestly don’t understand why Mali charges a higher price. Sunrise Beach itself was beautiful, and we appreciated the complimentary kayak rental. Breakfast was also very good. However, there were some serious issues. The bedding was not properly maintained — while the outer cover looked clean, the inner duvet was yellowed and visibly stained underneath. Most concerning was the swimming pool. The pool water was visibly dirty even to the naked eye. After spending a long time swimming, both my husband and my child developed skin rashes and suffered from severe stomach problems. They had been swimming, diving, and accidentally swallowing some pool water. I did not swim at all, and I was completely fine, while both of them experienced the same symptoms. This strongly suggests that the pool hygiene needs urgent improvement. I visited in early February during peak season. Pattaya Beach, where Akira Resort is located, was calm, wave-free, and much more enjoyable for swimming and relaxing. Sunrise Beach, although beautiful, had very strong waves, making it less suitable for playing in the water. That said, kayaking to the small island directly in front of the resort for snorkeling was an amazing experience. This is definitely one of Mali Resort’s biggest advantages. Some of the restaurant staff were warm and kind, but most of the staff, including those at reception, appeared tired and expressionless. Overall, I personally do not think this resort offers good value for the price and would not recommend it. For the same budget, I would strongly suggest staying at Akira instead."

"Good & clean hotel…great view…great staff…always smile…neabry walking streets"

"Host was very warm and welcoming us when we arrived. We enjoyed our stay even only for 1 night. They provide water dispenser which is very convenient. Some games card and physical were also provided and my kids love to play them. It makes them occupied than attached to their gadget. The bed is soooo comfy. We really love this villa and will book this villa when we plan to go to Satun again. Thank you 🥰"

"Loved this small family run hotel. Found on Google maps, book via Facebook or email/call. On TA it looks full but it’s not. Owner was really helpful and quick booking & great rate for really nicely designed rooms. Beautiful gardens, pool and lots animals. Really helpful man called Dow ordered us food when we arrive late and in the Am - lady, J also took me to 7/11 for breakfast. Perfect spot before the ferry to Langkawi 🙏 arranged pick-up to port for 250b - 10 mins away"

"Bathroom needs renovation and inmenities need improvement"
