About

The Narima - Sha Plus

The Narima - Sha Plus sits on a hillside above the Andaman Sea, with a mix of bungalows spread across landscaped gardens. The hotel’s own stretch of sand, a freshwater pool and an open-air restaurant give it the feel of a self-contained beach escape, while still being close enough to Kantiang Bay’s bars and eateries for when you want a change of scene.

Rooms are simple but well-kept, with private balconies, air conditioning and tea-and-coffee facilities. The higher up you stay, the better the views over the treetops to the water. Service is a clear highlight — guests consistently mention the friendly, attentive staff — and the on-site dive school makes it easy to explore the surrounding reefs without leaving the property.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Service that goes beyond — Staff are frequently described as super-friendly, welcoming and attentive, with several guests noting they went above and beyond.
  • A setting to remember — Perched on a hillside with jungle views, a private beach and a short hop to Kantiang Bay, the location earns near-universal praise.
  • Spacious, well-appointed bungalows — Rooms come with private balconies, air conditioning, mini-bar fridges and personal safes, and are described as clean, stylish and roomy.
  • A pool and beach on your doorstep — Guests can split time between a high-standard outdoor pool and the hotel's own stretch of sand, with sun loungers and umbrellas provided.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • The hillside means steps — The property climbs a hillside, so reaching the beach or higher bungalows involves stair climbs that may not suit everyone.
  • Check-in window ends early — Reception is staffed until 20:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead or arrange a different check-in time.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so those travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Mixed comfort ratings — While rooms are generally praised, the comfort category scores slightly lower than other areas, suggesting some inconsistency in bedding or noise.
