The Touch Green Naiyang Hotel & Fitness

Above all else, the Touch Green Hotel Naiyang is value for money. Simple, clean and well-equipped rooms (definitely go for the more expensive bungalows or book a room with a balcony) more than do their job for the price you pay. A few minutes’ walk and you’re at the beach. And if you don’t fancy the beach, the hotel swimming poool is located around the back and is situated in a green beauty spot next to a pond that is home to a beautiful swan and many other birds. Time spent at the pool is really relaxing. They do need to buy more pool loungers if they get busier though, because four just won’t be enough. Especially now the Chinese border has reopened for tourism. Reception is currently closed, so you go to the gym (which I am assured is excellent) or to the Green Cafe opposite for keys and beach towels etc. Breakfast is not available in the hotel, but a number of restaurants, including the afore mentioned Green Cafe, are a brief walk away. Naiyang itself is bit of an unknown gem, has a lovely beach, is very convenient for the airport, isn’t dominated by R***ian mafia and has a nice range of Thai, seafood or pizza restaurants. I will definitely come here again, and my first priority will be to book the Touch Green.

Stayed for a week here. Great location for the beautiful beach, bus to Old Phuket and local shops and restaurants all walkable. The airport is only a 10 minute drive or a beautiful walk if you are travelling light. Staff were just wonderful-friendly, helpful and kind. We had breakfast everyday with our apartment deal at the Green Cafe -although we ate mostly onsite across from it. The breakfast choice was AMAZING!!!! And delicious!! We ate at the cafe one evening too and the green curry was the best we’ve had. Wish we had eaten there more. The staff were superb too. Our room was very clean, water provided every day and good a/c. Very comfortable bed and quiet at night despite the road outside. There were a few English speaking tv channels too. The only downside to the TouchGreen is that the car park and swimming pool area feels rundown and while beautiful with the lake, I got bitten alive in 10 minutes. We didn’t venture near it again. Didn’t use the gym but it looked good.

I stayed in the older part and it seemed more run down than the pictures stated. The lobby area was under renovation so all matters were handled in the public gym area.

I spent 2 nights in this hotel, which was comfortable & well positioned, being just 10 minutes walk from the beach. They also boast a surprisingly good gym, with a great mix of cardio & weight equipment. No on-site restaurant, but you are spoilt for choice in the local area, so not a problem. WiFi was fine & plenty of TV stations, inc English speaking. Airport is a 10 minute drive away, although you can walk in 40 mins whilst enjoying the sights, sounds & aromas along the route.
