Prana Resort Nandana

We stayed for 4 nights with our 2 year old son and loved it. It was very relaxing and the perfect setting for us. Things we especially liked: - The layout of the resort. There are 2 areas. One by the beach, which has an awesome infinity pool and a restaurant. The other main area has most of the rooms which are arranged in a U shape around a large pool. Being able to change between both was awesome. - The beach. I was a bit sceptical about this point at first. Bang Rak beach is not really known for its beauty and has several ferry piers, so there is some boat traffic. However, the boats are far away on the other side of the beach and the beach itself was really pretty and not crowded at all. Even during high tide there was plenty of beach "left" to hang out on. - The location. Lots of restaurants, bars and other things are within walking distance. - The staff. Everyone was really friendly and professional - The kids room. It's not big but it has lots of toys and stuff in it, which our son really loved. For kids older than 4/5 this is probably not interesting anymore... But with a toddler it was awesome to have this area to spend time in. - A pleasant mix of guests: overall the vibe was rather calm but we never felt out of place as a family with a small kid. Some other families there as well, but the majority hurts are couples of all ages. Things to be aware of - they did not bother us, but might be important for others: - The two areas of the resort are divided by the main road, which can be quite busy. - The gym is small and cannot fit more than 2 people at a time ( for it to still feel comfortable) but has a good set of base equipment. - The rooms are rather small compared to other resorts in Thailand. - There is a beach club right next to the resort. It sometimes plays louder music in the evenings, which can be heard in the resort.
