Excellent hotel and staff are so friendly. Great location and multiple pools to enjoy.
Good Stay with Excellent Staff, but Some Areas for Improvement
Nora Buri Resort & Spa is a good mid- to high-range resort with beautiful surroundings, spacious rooms, and warm hospitality. While we had an enjoyable stay overall, there are a few areas where the experience could be improved.
The staff were welcoming from the moment we arrived and remained friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and we had booked a sea-facing room. Although we did receive one, the beach is actually across the road from the resort, so I'd recommend requesting a room closer to the beachfront if that's important to you.
One downside was that our room was located near the boundary wall, where construction was taking place next door. The morning noise was noticeable, which affected the otherwise peaceful atmosphere.
The resort itself is spread over a large hillside, so getting around requires using the complimentary buggy service. While this may seem like a slight inconvenience, the buggy always arrived promptly whenever we called, making it part of the overall experience. Guests should also note that many rooms are accessed via long flights of stairs, and there are no lifts, so this may not be ideal for everyone.
Housekeeping was an area that could be improved. On our first two days, towels weren't replaced and we had to request them each time. Room cleaning also felt fairly basic, with the beds made but the floors seemingly not swept during our stay.
Breakfast, however, was excellent. There was an extensive selection with plenty of choices, including good vegetarian options. The resort also has a concierge who can arrange excursions. We booked a quad bike tour through them, which included hotel transfers. Unfortunately, the return transfer forgot to take us back to the resort, leaving us waiting for quite some time and costing us valuable holiday time.
The property has two swimming pools. During our stay, one was marked as closed, yet we noticed guests still using it, which was a little confusing.
Overall, Nora Buri Resort & Spa offers comfortable accommodation, a beautiful setting, and genuinely welcoming staff. While the resort has a lot going for it, improvements in housekeeping, transfer coordination, and communication around facilities would make the experience even better. We'd still recommend it to travellers looking for a relaxing stay in Koh Samui, with the understanding that there are a few operational details that could be refined.

Perfect place to unwind
Thank you for the very pleasant stay - probably the most beautiful hotel i have ever stayed at. The rooms are lovely, the pool is relaxing, and the breakfast is delicious. It is the perfect place to unwind. Thank you to the waiters at the beach bar and to Git Sky for the pleasant ride in the golf cart to the room.
Stunning hotel and the nicest staff
Stunning hotel, staff was incredible - Git and Sky were wonderful to us and Oat gave me the best massage of my life.
The pools were beyond stunning, every little detail is thought of and they take care of your every need. Rooms are big and clean.
