Situated along the Klong Dao beachfront, Noble House Beach Resort boasts a spacious swimming pool with a children's section. Free WiFi is available in public areas and guests can choose between rooms or bungalows.

Very pleasant overall ambiance throughout the resort. Friendly staff, nice pool, beach access, good breakfast. Our modern “Deluxe Apartment” on the upper floor of the hotel building was truly deluxe. Exceptionally spacious and well designed. We had wanted a bungalow, but they were sold out for our dates. In the end, no regrets, the apartment was fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

SriLanta's rustic thatched villas sit on the hillside, offering garden or mountain views. They are designed to reflect traditional Thai living with its local furnishings. They are all equipped with air conditioning and a safe.

- nice view from the room’s window, especially in the early morning. - spa bath in the room - friendly staff - fair price - WiFi quality, but there were few hours while it didn’t work at all.

    We loved this place, it felt like a real treat and I can see why it gets such good reviews. The design of the garden is beautiful and the huts have everything you need with super quiet fans and aircon. The food was delicious and healthy in the restaurant, and the smoothies were really refreshing. I went to one of the free meditation classes in the morning and it was such a lovely experience listening to the birds and sounds whilst meditating in the studio. Will be recommending this place to my friends and family!

    Good location and nicely designed little resort with boutique feel and spacious room. Nice pool area to chill. Great breakfast place across road called Lazy Bird but it gets busy and few tables and service can be slow - but food is amazing and worth the wait! Also nice breakfast on the beach at The Hope. Pangaea bar on Long Beach is great for sunset drinks and party on a Tuesday night with good music / DJs. Sanctuary Bar on Long Beach also good for sun downers!

    A lovely place, design and a high level of maintenance of the garden, environment and the rooms. The combination of a cooking school, restaurant and hotel is operated by family members efficiently, paying attention to the details and paying attention to the guests and their needs. Special.

    The team were exceptional - every encounter was amazing and nothing was too much for anyone. The bungalow was so delightfully designed and chique in an authentic Thai style with all the modern comforts. We chose the beach front and essentially we didn’t leave the lodge because so captivating - food, breakfast, cocktails, beach, massage, views etc. The ratio of guests to lounges, beach side was so lovely you could always find a spot.

    This place was home to me, as a solo traveller, this was a welcome rare gem of a find. The warm hosts, stuff & guests. Lovely garden & your own outdoor space with a hammock. Stylish interior design. Having both the fan and the AC! A very helpful & informative guide on local attractions & restaurants! And the kickass coffee & breakfast.
