Nora Buri Resort and Spa in northeast Koh Samui earned a strong recommendation from Dave and the family during a visit made in very trying COVID times. This review shows the resort, the food, and the service that made them call it a job well done.
Visiting During COVID
This visit to the Nora Buri Resort and Spa happened while Thailand's travel industry was still deep in the COVID era, which makes the family's verdict more striking: a fantastic day with great food and service despite the circumstances. They say they would highly recommend a visit because of a job well done.
Northeast Koh Samui Setting
Nora Buri is located in northeast Koh Samui, a part of the island known more for quiet hillsides and views than for party beaches. The video shows the resort's setting and facilities, giving travelers a sense of how this corner of Samui differs from Chaweng or Lamai.
Food and Service Stand Out
Two things define the family's memory of Nora Buri: the food and the service. In a period when many resorts were running skeleton crews, delivering a genuinely great day took real effort, and the video records which property managed it.
