Wasn't sure about booking at Naraya with it having no reviews on expedia, but saw some really amazing reviews on Tripadvisor raving about the new owners and what they have done to the place so decided to give it a try. Turned out to be a great decision! When arriving we were welcomed by Mod & Craig (the new owners), a Thai and English couple, who immediately made us feel welcome. We were promptly served a glass of iced water, which was perfect after our long bus ride from Phuket, and after a speedy check-in we were shown to our room. The room was spacious, extremely clean, with a safe box, and an enormous bed! The water pressure in the shower was one of the best I’ve experienced in 3 trips to Thailand and the towel animals were just the icing on the cake! The location is great, about 30 seconds walk from a 7-11 and about 10 restaurants and bars, and less than 5 mins walk to the beach. It is right in the middle of the island so we found it to be a perfect location for renting a scooter and exploring the island. Mod & Craig were available all day for any questions and even provided their mobile number to call/message on WhatsApp 24 hours a day (as they said). The balcony was also really big with a view out to a lush green garden, perfect for relaxing after a day on the scooter.
Thank you Mod & Craig for taking such good care of us and we will certainly be back again (soon I hope) ;-)
