Nook Dee Boutique Resort
Nook Dee Boutique Resort är en liten boutiqueresort som hänger på en grön sluttning ovanför Kata Noi Beach, precis ovanför Katathani Resort. Designen av detta nya moderna hotell är mycket för en yngre generation av resenärer, med massor av färger och lekfulla inslag: solstolar i pooler och färgglada uppstoppade elefanter som sitter runt lobbyn eller till och med i din säng. Förresten, Nook Dee betyder "Mycket roligt" på thailändska.
As it seems to be the trend around Phuket, the roof of every building has been converted into green terraces with artificial grass, and the one next to the lobby has become an outdoor restaurant with very cool views. Next, to this lobby, a long rectangular swimming pool with an infinity view at one end of it looks down on the trees and further the beach of Kata noi. Alla verkar hänga i det där hörnet med en drink i handen.
There is only one restaurant called ‘Roy-Dee’ a few floors down, and it gets easily full at breakfast time, few tables are available on the front terrace, and as mentioned earlier, more tables can be set around the lobby if weather permits. The hotel has a spa called ‘Sook Dee’ and a tiny fitness room on the lower floors.
Rummen på Nook Dee Boutique Resort
Nook-Dee Boutique Resort is very compact and going to your room requires quite a bit of steep stair climbing. They do have an elevator, but it only goes halfway to your room, so if you get the lower levels as we did, you’ll get some exercise. As you go down and down to the lowest floors, it gets darker and darker, and it feels like you are staying in the basement. It’s a bit depressing on the first day.
När du väl öppnar din dörr blir den bättre, men det första du ser är ett bubbelbadkar som vetter mot ett öppet utrymme. Efter den första överraskningen har rummen en vacker varm design med många lokala inslag, antika skåp gjorda av trä och rött siden här och där, inklusive din morgonrock. När du väl har vant dig vid geografin i ditt rum fungerar det hela ganska bra.
In summary, how was Nook Dee Hotel?
På den ljusa sidan: The rooms are welcoming, and the balcony has superb views if you are in the upper rooms. My room was on the lowest floor, the view was almost nonexistent. The rooms also come with lots of plugs and a good range of amenities, including an espresso machine and beautifully designed bathrooms.
På den negativa sidan: Quite a bit of steep stairs but maybe I’m getting old. There is no working station at all, so if you came as a couple, you only have two options: enjoy your holiday because that’s what you came here for, or only one of you can work on that tiny table that looks like a stool as I did. The staff seemed to be a bit young and didn’t pay much attention as 5-star hotels naturally do.
