I
hate
to
say
it,
but
I
am
extremely
disappointed
in
Nora
Beach
and
it
is
absolutely
not
worth
the
price
we
paid.
This
was
meant
to
be
the
highlight
of
our
trip
in
Koh
Samui
after
spending
the
first
half
of
the
trip
in
another
resort
that
was
more
affordable
with
lower
ratings,
which
turned
out
to
be
substantially
better
in
both
quality
and
service
than
Nora
Beach.
Pros:
-
Beach
front
villa
would
have
been
a
gorgeous
view
if
it
was
not
raining
our
entire
stay
-
Private
pool
is
really
nice
-
The
custom
drinks
at
complimentary
breakfast
are
good,
so
make
sure
to
order
one.
-
I
personally
liked
the
interior
of
the
villa
but
my
partner
said
he
found
it
to
be
outdated.
Cons:
-
Wifi
is
atrociously
slow
to
the
point
that
you
can
barely
even
use
it.
For
the
price
of
the
accomodation
I
would
expect
better.
I
could
even
download
an
app
from
the
App
Store
and
mostly
had
to
use
my
mobile
hotspot.
-
Bed
is
terribly
uncomfortable.
It
is
hard
but
not
firm,
if
that
makes
sense.
I
can
feel
the
springs
in
the
mattress.
I
don’t
consider
myself
to
be
picky
about
mattresses
and
am
fine
with
hard,
soft,
and
medium,
but
this
mattress
is
hard
and
poor
quality
with
minimal
support.
-
I
am
not
at
all
impressed
by
the
breakfast
selection.
It
is
very
small
compared
to
other
resorts
and
and
ALL
of
the
food
is
cold
despite
being
kept
in
warmers.
Even
the
soups
are
lukewarm.
Not
only
is
the
selection
small,
but
the
food
options
are
poor
quality
other
than
the
custom
drinks.
-
Private
cabana
does
not
have
cushions
and
when
I
called
to
request
they
acted
like
they
had
no
idea
what
I
was
talking
about.
I
find
it
hard
to
believe
that
other
people
don’t
call
and
request
cushions
for
their
empty
wooden
cabana
and
also
can
see
cushions
and
pillows
in
the
resort
photos.
They
did
bring
them
eventually
but
they
are
just
couch
cushions
and
pillows,
not
lounge
length.
-
TVs
are
the
size
of
a
computer
monitor.
-
Beach
front
villas
are
so
far
from
the
entrance
that
you
need
to
call
reception
to
request
a
buggy
to
pick
you
up.
The
ride
up
is
about
2-3
minutes
and
would
be
probably
about
a
10
min
walk.
-
Not
many
places
to
walk.
Not
close
to
a
main
hub.
-
They
did
bring
us
a
piece
of
cake
the
first
day
which
was
really
nice,
but
they
did
not
bring
us
forks
and
there
is
no
cutlery
in
the
room
except
teaspoons
for
coffee.
There
are
about
14
glasses,
but
no
cutlery.
-
Staff
is
really
not
that
friendly
or
accommodating.
Everyone
except
for
the
security/driving
staff
seem
kind
of
irritated
with
you
or
like
they
don’t
know
what
you’re
talking
about.
Not
a
language
barrier
issue,
they
just
don’t
know.
They
are
not
very
personal
either.
We
felt
very
welcomed
at
our
other
resort
and
we
did
not
feel
that
way
at
Nora.
My
lesson
learned
from
our
stay
at
Nora
is
that
it’s
honestly
better
to
stay
at
hotels
with
lower
ratings
and
be
pleasantly
surprised
than
to
set
high
expectations
for
a
fancy
resort
that
doesn’t
deliver.
