Escape to Paradise: Your Nadedow Resort Thailand Awaits
Escape to Paradise: Your Nadedow Resort Thailand Awaits - A Messy, Honest Review (and Why You NEED to Book)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea on the Nadedow Resort in Thailand. And let me tell you, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. Don't get me wrong, it was mostly sunshine, but I'm not going to sugarcoat the little bumps and lumps along the way. This is a real review, unfiltered, and probably a little bit rambling. Consider this your insider's guide, because let's be honest, the glossy brochures are always lying.
First Impressions (and the Jet Lag Haze):
Getting there was a… journey. That whole "airport transfer" thing? Smooth as silk! They had a guy, bright-eyed, holding a sign with my name on it. That was a good start, especially after the 20-hour flight. Seriously, I could barely string two sentences together after that ordeal. Nadedow's already making a good impression on the 'Accessibility' front, though the specifics I'll save for later.
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag (But Mostly Good!)
Alright, let's get the nitty-gritty out of the way. I'm not personally in a wheelchair, BUT I always keep an eye out for accessibility because, well, life happens. And, look, Nadedow is doing a pretty decent job. They tout "Facilities for disabled guests", and honestly, the elevator? That was a lifesaver for a jet-lagged me. Elevators are an essential for many of us, glad to at least see it present. Now, the website does claim a few accessibility things, but I'd honestly suggest calling ahead to make sure. I noticed some ramps, but didn't check every nook and cranny.
Internet: Bless the Wi-Fi Gods!
Okay, this is CRUCIAL. Let's talk internet. Thank the Wi-Fi gods, the resort offers Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! And it actually works! (Unlike some places, cough cough, that promised the world and delivered dial-up speeds.) Look, I needed to stay connected, for work and for, you know, Instagram. So, free Wi-Fi everywhere? Huge win. I used it for everything - video calls, streaming Netflix, stalking exes (kidding!… mostly). The “Internet [LAN]” thing? Didn’t touch it. Wi-Fi in the public areas was decent too.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Paradise Found (Mostly)
Here's where things get interesting. This resort is packed with ways to chill out. Seriously, they have it all.
- The Spa (and My Near-Death Experience!): I'm talking about the Spa/sauna, the Body scrub, the body wrap, the massage, everything. Oh. My. God. The massage. I opted for the Thai massage, and let me tell you, my knots dissolved like butter in the Thai sun. Except, that's just the first half, then they put a towel over your face, and they tell you to close your eyes. You can't see what's happening, and the masseuse starts pulling from every limb. It's a bit intense, but then you feel fantastic. The sauna and steamroom were heavenly. And, as for the pool with a view? Gorgeous. Just gorgeous.
- The Fitness Center: I peeked in. Looked perfectly functional. Did I go in? Heh… let's just say the buffet was calling my name more loudly.
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: A major selling point. The pool was beautiful, perfectly clear and the temperature was ideal for a swim.
- The Food: I'll be honest, I was a bit skeptical about "Asian cuisine in restaurant," but wow, was I wrong.
Dining, Drinking, & Snacking: Fueling the Relaxation Machine
Now, about the food. This is where Nadedow really shines.
- Asian Cuisine: Their Asian Cuisine was a masterpiece. So many different dishes. Each more delicious than the last. The buffet in restaurant was decent; breakfast was a treat.
- Poolside Bar: Perfect for cocktails and lazy afternoons. Happy hour, if you're into that sort of thing (I definitely am).
- Restaurants: Lots of variety. Several restaurants to choose from.
- Coffee Shop: Great coffee. Need I say more?
- Room Service [24-hour]: Lifesaver after those late-night adventures, or those times where, you know, you just can't be bothered to leave the room. They had desserts in restaurant and salad in restaurant. So, lots of choices to have something healthy on the menu.
Cleanliness and Safety: The "Is This Place Actually Safe?" Corner
I'm a bit of a germaphobe, so I was hyper-vigilant. I noticed they were doing a lot. They had a hygiene certification as well as professional-grade sanitizing services. They used Anti-viral cleaning products and there was Daily disinfection in common areas. They have Hand sanitizer everywhere. They also had Staff trained in safety protocol, and that felt reassuring. The Safe dining setup was a plus. Honestly, the hygiene and safety protocols were impressive. I felt really comfortable there.
Services and Conveniences: The Perks You Didn't Know You Needed
They have a ton of services.
- Air conditioning in public area: Thank goodness. Thailand is HOT.
- Car park [free of charge]: Free parking, always a plus.
- Cash withdrawal: They had an ATM.
- Concierge: Super helpful with recommending things.
- Dry cleaning and laundry service: Used both. Efficient.
- Daily housekeeping: Room was always spotless.
- Safety deposit boxes: Peace of mind.
- Food delivery: Useful for a quick meal.
For the Kids: Is This Family-Friendly?
I don't have kids, but I saw plenty of families. They have a Babysitting service, which is handy. They have Kids meal. It seems they are doing a lot to accommodate families.
Available in All Rooms: The Essentials + a Few Surprises
Okay, let's talk about the rooms themselves. Comfortable, honestly. The basics were all there:
- Air conditioning: Essential, again.
- Wi-Fi [free]: Crucially important.
- Air conditioning: Essential, again.
- Additional toilet: A nice touch, especially for multiple people.
- Bathrobes: Luxurious!
- Coffee/tea maker: Caffeine is a must.
- Hair dryer: Essential.
- Mini bar: Stocked, but not overly expensive.
- Non-smoking: All rooms were non-smoking.
The Not-So-Perfect Bits (Because Real Life Isn't Perfect)
Okay, here's the honesty part.
- The Bugs: Yes, there were bugs. It's Thailand. Deal with it.
- Slightly Slow Service: Sometimes the service at the bar was a little slow, but hey, you're on vacation. Chill out.
- The Noise: Because of the exterior corridors it was easy to hear other guests talking, but most of the time it wasn't an issue because after the activities during the day, everyone was tired.
The Bottom Line: Should You Book the Nadedow Resort?
YES!
Despite the minor imperfections, Nadedow Resort is a fantastic option. It offers a blend of relaxation, adventure, and amenities that's hard to beat. The amazing spa, incredible food, and generally lovely atmosphere make it a winner in my book.
Here’s the thing: Forget the generic travel agent spiel. This place is worth it.

Escape to Paradise: Siam Beach Resort, Koh Kood's Untouched LuxuryAlright, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your polished brochure itinerary. This is real life, in Thailand, at Nadedow Resort, with yours truly at the helm. And frankly, I'm already sweating.
Subject: Nadedow Nightmare? (Just Kidding! Mostly…) My Messy Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival & "Nam Pung" Panic
- 14:00 – Landed in Krabi. The airport air – immediately humid, hugging you like a wet blanket. This is, without a doubt, the start of my tan.
- Immediate thought: Did I remember sunscreen? Did I pack enough underwear? Why did I wear my jeans? So. Many. Regrets.
- 15:00 – Found the resort transfer. The van was thankfully air-conditioned, but the driver blasted Thai pop music at a volume that threatened to shatter my eardrums. Still, scenic views of the Thai jungle.
- 16:00 – CHECK-IN CHAOS: Apparently, my reservation was… lost. Cue the internal panic attack. After some panicked hand gestures and a LOT of pointing at my phone screen, they found me a room. Victory! But the receptionist's polite smile barely hid the exhaustion I felt.
- 17:00 – Room unpacked (sort of). It's gorgeous. Seriously, the view alone is worth every penny (which, let's be honest, cost a fortune). The balcony is calling my name.
- 18:00 - Cocktail time! Went to the bar. Ordered something colorful with a little umbrella. It was DELICIOUS. Watched the sunset over the beach. Seriously, pure bliss.
- 19:30 – Disaster struck. I had a little… incident at dinner. Let's just say, I misjudged the chili level in the "Nam Pung" (fried rice). It was like my mouth had been set on fire. Tears, snot, the whole shebang. The waiter, bless his heart, kept bringing me more water. Thank god for rice and water, otherwise I would have died.
Day 2: Beach Bum, Massage Mayhem & Monkey Business
08:00 – Woke up to the sound of waves. Heaven. Except, immediately realized I'd forgotten to set an alarm! Did I miss breakfast? Probably. Sigh.
09:00 – Beach time! Laying on the beach. Took a nap! Got a bit too much sun.
11:00 - Massage Time! Oh, sweet, glorious massage. I went for the traditional Thai massage. After an hour of having a tiny woman walk all over my back, I felt like a new human. My body felt broken in the best way possible.
13:00 – Lunch. Pad Thai this time. Chili level: Much better.
14:00 – Explored the resort. Found some monkeys near the pool. They seemed very interested in my bag (which held my phone, naturally). Avoided eye contact, moved on.
16:00 - Pool Time! And then… the weather turned. Started raining cats and dogs. Ran back to the room, soaking wet, feeling like a drowned rat. My hair is a mess.
19:00 - Dinner at the restaurant. Tried and failed to make a reservation in advance. I had the same incident as what happened in the first day. This time I controlled myself.
Day 3: Island Hopping & Sea Sickness Sagas
Okay, here's where things took a turn. I, in my infinite wisdom, booked an island hopping tour. Sounded lovely, right? Wrong.
- 07:00 – Wake up early for the tour. The boat ride was beautiful at first. The turquoise water! The limestone cliffs! Instagram heaven!
- 08:00 – The waves start to pick up. Oh dear. I'm starting to feel queasy.
- 09:00 – Underwater snorkeling paradise. It was everything I dreamed of - colorful fish, swaying coral, the whole shebang. For about five minutes. Then the sickness started. I felt like I was going to barf.
- 10:00 – Land on a beautiful island. The nausea is getting worse. I'm huddled on the beach, trying not to disgrace myself. This is NOT as glamorous as it seems.
- 11:00 – More boat. More waves. More misery. I think I've aged a decade in this hour.
- 12:00 – Back to the resort. Food is not an option right now. Crawled back to my room and collapsed.
- 18:00 - Found the strength and went to the hotel restaurant. Ate some plain rice. I think I'm getting better.
- 20:00 - Watched a movie. Thank goodness for streaming services.
Day 4: Yoga, Relaxing, and Regret
- 08:00 - Breakfast time. I am getting better.
- 09:00 - Yoga class! I found it relaxing and beautiful.
- 11:00 - Beach time! Relaxing on the beach.
- 13:00 - Lunch and drinks. I decided to try again the Pad Thai.
- 15:00 - Time to shop in the souvenir shop.
- 19:00 - Packing time!
- 20:00 - Went to sleep early because tomorrow is the day to leave.
Day 5: Goodbye, Thailand (For Now!)
- 07:00 - Breakfast
- 08:00 - Check out
- 09:00 - Airport
- 10:00 - Flight time!
So, there you have it. My gloriously messy Nadedow adventure. Yes, there were hiccups (and, let's be honest, a chili-induced inferno or two). But there were also moments of pure, unadulterated joy. And hey, isn't that what travel is all about? Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go buy some more sunscreen. And maybe invest in some motion sickness pills for next time.
