    Prices in the restaurants were a little pricy, but that was to be expected due to the location

    Superb location. Friendly staff. Very quiet on the island once all non residents leave at 4pm

    Restaurants close early -Quite expensive but that's understandable as its one of the most famous islands in Thailand I recommend bringing your own alcohol - the island does not have a wide range of wine/alcoholic drinks if you want a relaxing evening on your balcony I strongly recommend buying wine/drinks from the mainland to bring with you. French market sells a fantastic range of wines.

    Pros Beautiful location you own the island for a night No tourist Stunning sunset Fell in love with the island Great food! Love the grilled chicken Stunning beach Koh Nang yuan viewpoint is a must - especially at sunset

    the restaurant is pretty basic but it was ok

    if you want to escape the masses of tourists visiting the island to go snorkeling you have to stay at this hotel. after around 4pm they all leave and you have the beach for yourself. truly a paradise!

    Synchronising timetables both ways is something to work on. Why such long waitings for connecting boats and buses? The three little islands are a unique place. It's fragile nature above and below sea surface should be protected even more than now. I doubt whether the place will survive all those herds of daytime visitors for long. Of course, the place can't be run without numerous customers' financial input, but if there is nothing left of the beautiful nature, who wants to go there? The buildings and especially the wooden pathways look like they need enhancement. The iron supporting framework looked pretty rusty.

    The breakfast was good considering the location, meaning all the goods have to be brought by boat to the island. All the fruit shakes were good. Dinner menu understandably consisted mainly of seafood. There was little choice if you don't like fish and shellfish.

    Bathroom showers are bad big time. Food options and the taste is not great, only manageable for a day or so.

    The highlight of this place is solely the location. This is a very beautiful and peaceful island. I highly recommend it for ppl looking to enjoy nature and calmness.

    The place is isolated, for better and for worse. There's only one restaurant which is not really good and got closed at 19:30. I think it's something basic that the resort should provide free ferries during the day and evening. Even for a nominal fee in the evening hours, but something that will give you the option to eat outside. The place is not maintained, and the deck is in a bad condition. Water is expensive and you can it only from the restaurant (except for the few bottles we got in the morning).

    Great location, one of the most beautiful places we've seen! The staff was friendly The beach is beautiful and the water are crystal clear.

    Would recommend taking snack food and water as there is only one restaurant on the island and it was a bit expensive! Other wise everything was great :)

    The room was great with amazing view of the island! Big room and bathroom and all clean. Great size balcony to sit and enjoy the view! Very quiet on the island at the moment which was deally mice for us. Amazing snorkelling and if you’re up early in the morning there are lots of baby black tip sharks swimming around the shore!

    Everything was amazing. A dream come true! Despite the fact from 10 am to 2 pm the island is invaded by tourist before 10am or after 2 pm Koh Nangyuan is all yours.

    If paradise existed, it would surely be here. The resort fullfilled all my expectations. The staff was super nice and available, especially Mrs. PIM. A place to relax and admire nature to the fullest. The beaches are fantastic. Ideal for diving or snorkeling and specially to do nothing. Can't wait to come back. Admire the sunset at the view point is a must.

    Tourist/divers Trap. There is no dive centre on the island, do not go here expecting one. Pricing is ridiculous even compared to Europe, the food is not good and the island tries to charge for everything they can, ie ice in your glass 10b, shuttle service to koh Tao 400b (was told it was free). No sewerage treatment so the waste of 10k+ people per week is going directly where you're swimming/diving enjoy 🤢. The rooms don't hold a constant electricity supply. They are only dusted opposed to cleaned, our mugs were just wiped around which now makes me wonder if they were cleaned properly before we arrived. I doubt it. Oh and don't forget to take cash to pay for food as seemingly the food stall(restaurant 🤣) is not part of the island, as an example of how overpriced 300ml mango shake 120b this is the most expensive shake i have had in Thailand.

    Location is stunning

    there is no wifi nor TV in the room, it was hard to climb up and down from the room to restaurant or property office because the steps from beach to the room are very steep and harsh. a lot of such section of steeper step are even without handrail that you can hold. food in restaurant at property was very poor and expensive(eg one piece of banana cost 50THB, a coconut cost 120 THB)which is at least 20-30% higher than that in any restaurant in Koh Tao. the room is very old at least for 20-25 years old without any innovation or upgrade, no chairs no table in the room, no clothes holders, even you have no place to put the used towels somewhere in the room. the money paid for staying in this property is NOT worthy at all. Any traveller who wants to visit Nangyuan island should avoid staying over night at this property but instead to consider have a one day trip to this island if necessary while staying over at Koh Tao because when you arrive at this Nangyuan dive resort you will be insulated and cut off in your room like a prisoner on a hopeless island.

    pick up service at Koh Tao main pier and daily room service.

    the restaurant and the people that works there. I am sorry to say this because I really try to adapt and to be respectful when I travel. In this place you don’t have quality, you pay prices (not super high for europeans/americans) that just don’t makes sense to what you are getting. I will explain myself better, unfortunately there is only one restaurant in the island, so, if you stay there you are obliged to have breakfast, lunch and dinner there. ok, quality is very bad and prices don’t make sense. Ok is touristy island but you need to give something to who decides to stay at the hotel. The menu is literally fake, they sell you what they want and is not fresh. I rather have 2 options in the menu that are well cooked and good rather than have a menu with 20 and pages where I ask for something and they bring you another thing (less expansive) and they want you to pay for the more expensive one. (the waitress was trying to be nice, but the old lady behind the counter was the meanest) I don’t recommend it, in Thailand you can better (meaning nicer people and better service) this hotel is only good for the location and the peace at night

    the location is 10/10 even if the weather wasn’t good the peace you have during the hours when tourists aren’t there is undeniable

    Once you get on the island it is very hard to get off and on again. There are 2 boats per day to koh tao and if you miss that, you need to arrange a taxi boat yourself. In the evening this means persuading a taxi boat to drive you back in the dark and paying a super high price. They are not used doing this. When this happened our first night, we called the hotel for help but they did not help us at all, their answer was that we should spent the night in koh tao and come back in the morning... The bed sheets were very dirty, we had to ask to change them when we arrived. There is nothing to do on the island besides the view: in the evening no bar or shop or anything. Lastly when we asked to do a discovery dive, they could not accomodate and told us to come back next month.

    The view is amazing and you can beat the crowds in the morning
