Location

Kanok Buri Resort offers a private beach area exclusively for guests, with direct access to the white sand of Lipa Noi Beach. The outdoor swimming pool has a pool view and is open year-round, though many guests prefer their private plunge pools. Beachgoers find calm, wave-free waters and a gently shelving sandy entry.

Villa Accommodations

The hotel offers Private Plunge Pool Villas with a spa bath, tea/coffee maker, and satellite TV. Each villa is decorated with a blend of western and Thai design and includes a private terrace with beach and garden views. The Family Plunge Pool Villa provides two bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with its own small pool.

Breakfast is included and features an omelette station alongside fresh fruit and hot items. Local restaurants are available within walking distance along the street, including The Chill Inn and The Mango Tree.

Leisure

The hotel operates a tour desk that arranges daily snorkeling and diving tours to Angthong National Marine Park.

a balanced experience

private pool well-decorated villa convenient equipment loud fan water temperature old air conditioning

I adored the private plunge pool villa. it was well-decorated and felt very convenient. there was good equipment included, like a programmable safe and body lotion for sunburns. the restaurant served high-quality food. I especially liked the chicken sweet-sour.

I found the air conditioning quite old. the fan was unbelievably loud. It made sleeping difficult. the water heater had issues. The water temperature fluctuated rapidly. it switched between cold and boiling hot water very quickly.

private pool daily cleaning easy communication birthday cake

i stayed in the private plunge pool villa and the private pool was so lovely and well maintained. friendly guys were taking care of the pool every day. cleaning was done every day upon request. reception communication via whatsapp was super easy, even helping me arrange a birthday cake.

the breakfast egg station felt a bit underwhelming due to limited ingredient choices. cheap ham and limited fruit were available.

soggy cereal torn sheets

The breakfast buffet was disappointing. There was a lack of variety. the cereal was soggy. the soft cheese was not refrigerated. the air conditioning in the room had not been cleaned or maintained for a long time, so it made a really dull noise , made it difficult to sleep. the bed sheets were dirty, stained and torn.
