Nora Buri Resort & Spa

Awesome property. Rooms were nice and very well done. We were in sea facing room which was large and good. Hotel does not have its own beach as the sea has recouped it! But one can sit in front of the sea and enjoy the views however, you can not go in the sea which was a bit of a downer. But it still is a five star property except that in couple of occasions we felt not trusted well. There was a minor confusion on the minibar and it would have been so kind if they would have trusted us. We did not mind paying but felt really bad that they did not trust us. There was a something similar night before which is inconsequential.

An amazing hotel. Our best experience overall in a hotel in Thailand. We were 4 and had 2 deluxe sea view bungalows with an amazing view. Each bungalow has a very nice private pool. The rooms are vey spacious, very nicely decorated, super clean with in house and outside showers and a bath room. Wonderful staff very helpful. I will have rated 6 stars if I could.

Since we arrived at Nora Buri resort and spa, the staff have been exceptional!!! A special shout out to Aung from ‘the barge’ and Lester from ‘Manora’ breakfast bar who were so accomodating and friendly, it really made our time at the resort very special! The food was lovely, the massages and staff from the Andona spa were lovely. The cleaners were diligent and kept our living quarters clean and smelling lovely. Our view was lovely, with lots of birds and squirrels if you were up early enough. The gold buggy staff were quick at picking us up and taking us around the resort which gave the resort a special charm! The beach was awesome for collecting sea glass/sea ceramic. Overall we recommend this resort to all family and friends. Hope to return one day!!!

First time in Kho Samui, our stay at Nora Buri Resort & Spa was truly unforgettable and deeply special to us. After a year of intense hard work and major success in our business in 2025, we were so grateful to choose Nora Buri as our home for an entire week to rest, recharge, and celebrate. The resort itself is absolutely spectacular. The property is extremely well maintained, the grounds are beautifully landscaped, and the condition of the rooms is impeccable. We stayed in a seaside private pool villa, and it was breathtaking truly worth every penny (or THB). Whether relaxing in our private pool or enjoying the beachfront pool, the views were stunning and unforgettable. You simply won’t regret staying here. The food was also outstanding. We especially loved the fresh fruit, it was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented every day. Room service was excellent as well, with fast delivery and consistently high-quality dishes, making it even more enjoyable to relax and dine in the villa. What truly sets Nora Buri apart, however, is the people. We were treated like VIPs from the moment we arrived. Every staff member genuinely cared about providing exceptional customer service. A special thank you to one of the resort managers, Khun หนึ่ง, who took such wonderful care of us, along with her incredible team who delivered top-notch service throughout our stay. Our housekeeper was incredibly kind and sweet, Mr. Top took excellent care of us in the dining room every single day, and the drivers and all other staff members were consistently warm, professional, and attentive. We truly cannot thank everyone enough for making our stay so memorable. We highly recommend Nora Buri Resort & Spa to anyone looking for a luxurious, peaceful, and exceptional experience in Koh Samui. The New Year’s Eve dinner party at the resort was also one of the highlights of our stay. It was an incredibly fun and festive night with a great atmosphere, an amazing party, and beautiful fireworks. Thanks again for the wonderful experience! We will absolutely return. Jasmine & Martin

I had a delightful stay at Nora Buri and I would rate my overall stay as 4/5. Breaking this review in 3 parts: good bits, needs improvement and a warning. Good bits: 1. Resort is a little bit old but very beautifully built and they have many types of rooms. I with my husband stayed at the sea view room and the view was amazing. 2. Their pools are one of the best I've seen so far. They have 2 huge pools, each pool being infinity pool with a great view. 3. The rooms are located on the hillside and there's a very active cart / buggy service. It is exceptional. Would rate it 10/10. We could always get a cart almost instantly and didn't have to walk even a bit to get to our room. Buggy drivers are also super friendly and courteous. 4. Breakfast spread is really amazing and elaborate. 5. Rooms are super spacious with all amenities. Probably the biggest in Samui at the price point. Didn't feel like anything was missing. Needs improvement: 1. The resort could do with a little bit of renovation. Saw cracks in some villas. Tried opening the curtains and the rod broke. Roof lights were constantly flickering. 2. There are no charging points on the sides of the bed so you have to charge your phone on the study table. 3. For making up your room, you have to call the reception and let them know. Sometimes they'll do your room without asking and when you need them to actually do it, they'll say they've already done it. As someone who is a cleanliness freak, I sometimes get my room cleaned twice in a day and I wouldn't want grief over it. 4. They can't do anything about this but FYI the beach is not accessible. So if you're planning to swim in the beach, you can't. WARNING The only reason I've given this a 4 rating and not 5 is particularly because of their travel and tours booking personnel - Sara. We booked our full moon party ferry + pickup / drop package from Sara for 1200 baht per person. She booked us with the worst operator and we ended up spending the night stuck and stranded in ferry queues. We spent 4 hours just waiting and being pushed around in a stampede like situation. The problematic part: The package costs 800 baht per person otherwise. So not only did Sara give us a highly inflated package and made huge commissions on it, she refused to take any responsibility for our terrible experience and just simply said she can't do anything. The resort also refused to take responsibility for the same. So please exercise caution in booking any of your tours via Sara (sits at the resort reception) and book elsewhere instead.
