Escape to Paradise: Unforgettable Naithonburi Beach Resort Thailand
Escape to Paradise: Naithonburi Beach Resort Review – A Whirlwind of Sunshine, Sand, and…Slight Chaos (But in the Best Way!)
Okay, so, let me just preface this by saying I'm not a polished travel blogger. I'm more of a "grab a pen, a notebook, and a whole lotta coffee" kind of reviewer. And after a week at the Naithonburi Beach Resort in Phuket, Thailand… well, I have THOUGHTS. And maybe a tan. And possibly still sand in my shoes.
Let's dive in, shall we? This isn't going to be your typical sterile hotel review, I promise. Buckle up…
First Impressions & The "Oh God, Did I Pack the Right Adapters?" Moment:
Accessibility: Okay, good start! The resort is relatively accessible. Elevators, thankfully, were a constant companion (especially after tackling the delicious, and plentiful, Thai food). I saw ramps and bathrooms for disabled guests, which is a HUGE plus. But the slightly crumbly pathways leading to the pool? My walking buddy, bless her heart, almost faceplanted. So, while generally good, not perfectly flawless access. Just a heads-up!
Check-in/out [express]: It was express. I swear, I blinked, signed something, and was holding a key. Boom. Room.
The Room: My Beachfront Oasis (and Occasional Birdcage for a Shirt)
Available in all rooms: EVERYTHING. Air conditioning (THANK GOD), a window that opens (essential for that salty sea breeze!), a balcony (hello, sunset!). I had a bathroom phone (felt like a movie!). Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! – which also worked! Hallelujah.
My Personal Room Champion: The extra-long bed. Seriously. I’m tall, and this was a revelation. I could sprawl, starfish style, without my feet dangling off the end. Pure bliss. It’s the small things, people. The blackout curtains were also a lifesaver for those "I need to sleep until noon" days. And the bathrobes…so fluffy. I basically lived in it. (Don't judge me.)
Okay, BUT: My coffee maker was a bit…finicky. And the balcony? Well, the birds loved it a little too much. My shirt might've become a temporary birdcage. But hey, it's Thailand. Embrace the chaos, right?
Cleanliness & Safety: Sanitized and Secure (with a Side of Sanity)
Cleanliness & Safety: The resort's commitment to hygiene was impressive. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and staff trained in safety protocol were a constant presence. Room sanitization opt-out available if you felt the need. I saw a lot of hand sanitizer stations. I felt safe. They seemed to take it all seriously.
More details: CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Fire extinguisher, Smoke alarms, Security [24-hour], and Smoke detectors.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: From Pad Thai to Pancakes (and Everything in Between)
Restaurants: The restaurants were a highlight – seriously, the food was GOOD. Let's be honest, buffet in restaurant is always risky, but the quality here was really high.
Asian Cuisine in restaurant: One of the restaurants offered amazing asian cuisine. Asian breakfast was a delight, spicy noodles and fresh fruit a perfect way to start the day.
International cuisine in restaurant: Yep. It was decent.
Coffee/tea in restaurant and a Coffee shop, were my lifelines. The coffee was strong, the tea was lovely, the snacks at the snack bar were perfect.
Poolside bar? Necessary. Happy hour drinks? Even more necessary. A la carte in restaurant or Breakfast [buffet]: options. Lots of options as well.
Okay, so. The Food. The Food. The FOOD. One day, I had the most perfect Pad Thai. Seriously. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the peanuts were crunchy, and the sauce…oh, the sauce. It was a religious experience. I almost cried. (Okay, I might have shed a tear.) The next day, I ate it again. And the next. And the next. (It was a good week).
Things to Do & Ways to Relax (and Maybe Overdo the Relaxation)
For the kids: I didn't travel with kids, but I saw plenty of happy little faces. Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal were available.
Ways to relax: Ah, the good stuff. The Pool with view? Stunning. I spent hours there, just staring out at the ocean, feeling my worries melt away. The Swimming pool and Swimming pool [outdoor] areas were equally tempting.
Spa/sauna: Yes, yes, yes. My treatment? A Body scrub and a Massage. The little bit of back pain I developed from too much Pad Thai and beach lounging vanished. It was pure heaven. I may have snored. Don't tell anyone.
Fitness center: I attempted to use the Gym/fitness twice. Once, I was defeated by jet lag. The second time, I was defeated by the allure of the pool. (There was a Foot bath as well…I didn’t try it.)
More details: Sauna, Steamroom were available.
Services and Conveniences: From Ironing to…Food Delivery?
Services and conveniences: The Concierge was super helpful. The Dry cleaning and Laundry service were lifesavers - especially after my birdcage-shirt incident. The Luggage storage was convenient.
More details: Cash withdrawal, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Indoor venue for special events, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Safety deposit boxes, Seminars, Shrine, Smoking area, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center were handy.
Getting Around:
Getting around: You can rent a car, but I went with the Taxi service and the Airport transfer. Both ran smoothly. Easy peasy. Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Valet parking, Bicycle parking were available as well.
Internet, Internet [LAN], Internet services, Wi-Fi in public areas, Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!: the internet was fine, the free Wi-Fi in all rooms was a huge advantage.
The Minor Imperfections: Because Nothing's Perfect (and That's Okay)
Look, this isn't a place for nitpickers. Yes, there were minor flaws. The occasional slow service at the bar. A slightly wonky faucet in my room. But honestly? These were so minor they were charming. They added to the overall feeling of laid-back, unpretentious luxury. It's a resort, not a prison.
The Verdict: You Need This.
My Recommendation:
This place is a win. If you want a beautiful beach, amazing food, and a chance to truly unwind, the Naithonburi Beach Resort is a fantastic choice. Forget the super-slick, overly polished resorts. this has charm.
My Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Pad Thais. (Lost half a point for the birdcage situation, but I'm still recovering from the amazing flavor).

Okay, buckle up, buttercups! This isn't your perfectly-filtered Instagram travel guide. This is the REAL DEAL. My Naithonburi Beach Resort itinerary, warts and all, guaranteed to be more disastrously wonderful than your average travel blog.
Day 1: Arrival – Paradise Found? (Maybe. I'm Hungry.)
- 8:00 AM (ish): Finally! After what felt like a transatlantic flight fueled by stale airplane peanuts and existential dread, we've landed in Phuket. The air hits you like a warm, fragrant blanket. Except I'm already sweating. Great start.
- 9:00 AM: Customs. Ugh. I swear, I spent longer here than the flight itself! The guy behind me reeked of questionable cologne, my luggage was practically begging to be eaten by the conveyor belt, and I started to suspect that everyone was secretly judging my slightly crumpled travel outfit.
- 10:00 AM: Found the transfer! The driver was a blur of friendly gestures and rapid Thai. The van was… let's say, "characterful." The air con struggled valiantly.
- 11:00 AM: Naithonburi Beach Resort! Breathes in deeply, trying to capture "paradise" in a single breath. Oh, wow. Okay, initial reaction: it's gorgeous. That pool is calling my name. Reception was a little chaotic - lots of families with cranky children. My room check-in was so smooth. I felt bad for the grumpy kids.
- 12:00 PM: Room! Beautiful! But… Where’s the wifi login? And… is that a tiny, adorable gecko on the wall? Screams internally. Loves geckos.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch. Restaurant overlooking the beach. I swear, it's a beautiful place, the staff is perfect. I ordered Pad Thai, which arrived swimming in oil. Food is good, but a bit heavy. But hey, I’m on vacation. No regrets! I see couple on the table next to me getting engaged.
- 3:00 PM: Pool time! This is the good life. Sunscreen? Check. Cocktail? Check. Existential worries about the size of my thighs in a swimsuit? …Also check. But I'm not going to spoil the happiness by obsessing about it. I'm gonna enjoy this.
- 5:00 PM: Beach walk. The sand is like powdered sugar, and the waves are gentle. I just sat there for a long time in the sun, the perfect way to end a busy day.
- 7:00 PM: The restaurant on the beach is awesome. I ordered red curry and beer. A bit pricy, but the view is worth all the money. I saw a group of kids playing on the beach, running in and out of the ocean. It brought about a smile. I miss being a child.
Day 2: Exploring (and Almost Getting Eaten by a Monkey)
- 9:00 AM: Woke up at about 8:30 am. The sun just hits through my windows, perfect! Breakfast at the resort. Buffet. I feel like I ate enough for four people. Too many pastries? Maybe. Regrets? Zero.
- 10:00 AM: Started trying to figure out the local transportation. I swear, the taxi drivers here are like… professional negotiators. Ended up bartering for a tuk-tuk to the Big Buddha. (Never underestimate the power of a well-placed "mai pen rai," which I think means "it's no big deal," but I probably used it wrong.)
- 11:00 AM: Big Buddha. Majestic! The views are stunning. But the heat is INSANE. And the stairs? Torture. My calves are screaming.
- 12:30 PM: Wat Chalong. Beautiful temple. The smell of incense, the vibrant colors, the overall vibe is so calming. I would enjoy it more if I wasn't so worried about my backpack.
- 1:30 PM: Lunch again, this time I tried to eat something local. I chose something that looked safe. Not too bad.
- 3:00 PM: Monkey business! Decided to visit a nearby viewpoint cough that's apparently a known monkey hotspot. And yep. Monkey central. I got WAY too close to one (for a photo, naturally) and it, in an instant, decided my water bottle was its new best friend. Nearly lost my entire sandwich stash too. Heart rate? Through the ROOF. Lesson learned: respect the monkey overlords.
- 5:00 PM: Back to the resort. The pool felt like heaven after the monkey encounter.
- 7:00 PM: More street food! Found a tiny stall selling Pad See Ew. It was so good. The most delicious thing I've ever tasted in my life. My stomach is very thankful.
Day 3: Relaxation, Reflection, and a Slight Sunburn (and a Lot of Complaining)
- 9:00 AM: I am so sore, let me sleep. But here I am!
- 9:30 AM: More amazing breakfast. I am falling in love with this place.
- 10:30 AM: I am going to relax at the pool. Oh, this is the life.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch. I'm starting to crave something other than delicious Thai food. Maybe I’m homesick.
- 2:00 PM: Massage time! I opted for a traditional Thai massage. It was… intense. I felt like a pretzel being wrung out, every single muscle in my body. I think my masseuse might secretly be a ninja. But I feel amazing now. (Slightly bruised, but amazing.)
- 4:00 PM: Beach walk. Okay, so maybe I underestimated the sun. My shoulders are fiery red. Note to self: reapply sunscreen… religiously.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner at the resort. Tried the seafood platter. A little pricey. The music is romantic. I am with someone.
- 8:00 PM: Stargazing on the beach. The sky is like a velvet curtain sprinkled with diamonds. Thinking about life. Realizing I need to book another trip just to make this one feel less fleeting.
- 9:00 PM: Sleep.
Day 4: Departure
- 9:00 AM: It's time to leave. The hotel staff is so friendly, I have never loved a place this much.
- 10:00 AM: They made me cry at the airport, because I am so sad to leave this place.
- 11:00 AM: Time to go back home!
So, here ends my chaotic but amazing Thailand trip. It was incredible. I am going to miss this country for a long time.
Unbeatable Cawang Halim Stay: FREE WiFi & Parking!
So, is this "Escape to Paradise" thing *ACTUALLY* paradise?
What's the deal with the rooms? Are they actually *nice*? Like, not just "hotel room nice" but "I could happily live here" nice?
Let's talk food. Is the food actually good, or just generic "resort food"? I'm talking the brutally honest truth.
What's there to *do* at the resort? Besides, you know, breathing and staring at the ocean...
Is it good for families? Couples? Solo travelers who sometimes feel awkward?
Okay, what was the worst part? (Give it to me straight. No sugarcoating).
Would you go back? Seriously, would you?
