Koh Ngai Thanya Beach Resort

I think the most important thing to remember is that this is a 3 star resort and therefore, should be judged on being a 3 star resort. Having said that, there were some parts of the resort that could do with some fixing up, such as the verandahs on the front of vlllas (loose boards, wear and tear), the shower was pretty old and not maintained... They have a sign asking you not to flush your toilet paper down the toilet and to place it in the basket next to the toilet instead. A lot of these island resorts really need to sort out their septic problems. I felt that the room was quite expensive for what you got but we did go at peak tourist time, just after New Years Day. The restaurant was good and we really liked most of the food we ate there. I'd skip the croissants at breakfast as they appeared to have been frozen and thawed out and then warmed up... The pool was really dirty with mould growing around the outside of it and on the first day we were there I saw a pile of sludge floating in the top of the pool water. This is definitely a "family" resort and the pool was always occuppied by a lot of children. There were not enough beach chairs for all of the guests and it's very annoying how a lot of guests appear to get up super early to put their towels all over the best chairs and then leave them like that until they feel like using them later in the day. The hotel should implement a 1 hour non use policy like other hotels have.
