Ko Phaluai, Surat Thani Province hotel rooms at the Independent

" I had a wonderful stay at Napiness Beach Resort. The room was absolutely beautiful with back view — spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The ambiance throughout the resort was peaceful and welcoming, with such a relaxing vibe from the moment I arrived. The added touches really stood out and made the stay feel extra special. Everything was incredibly clean and well cared for, and you can tell the staff takes pride in keeping the property looking and feeling its best. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I would happily stay here again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful, calm getaway in Thailand."

"Beautiful property and delicious food. I'd recommend arriving during the day to really get the full "wow" of the hotel lobby. The breakfast is delicious with rotating daily options. Any issues were quickly resolved by the incredible staff. "

"Nice room, food was great, friendly staff and the gym was well equiped. The only cons are that it is extremely isolated and the beach is not a nice beach to swim in"

"Perfect "

"I love this place! Great location, with mulitple healthy food options nearby. The room was amazing! And kind staff, too!"

"When we arrived at the resort after a long taxi ride, we received a fantastic welcome from the staff. Martin (the Guest Manager) quickly seated us at a table in the lounge, where we were served a refreshing drink and cold towels. He took care of the entire check-in process there and explained how everything works at the resort. While we were waiting for our room to be ready—we arrived well before check-in—we were served afternoon tea. The rooms at this resort offer a spectacular view, as it is built along a mountainside overlooking the ocean. We were completely overwhelmed. The staff at this resort are absolutely wonderful. Everyone makes sure you have everything you need and is always happy to stop for a friendly chat, which makes the experience feel very personal. They remember what we usually order and ask the next time if we would like to have the same again. Examples of staff groups we interacted with include the lounge, breakfast, reception, traffic control, housekeeping, gardening, transport/shuttle, restaurant, and bar staff. Every single one of them is outstanding."

"Amazing hotel and staff. "
