Lovely place...
Lovely place. They provide transport from Thandwe airport and then on arrival serve you a welcome drink of cool juice... the rooms are super clean with lovely wooden floors and furniture and big, comfortable beds. Also a kettle, coffee, tea, etc, and a safe big enough for a laptop. Breakfast was a big buffet and egg station, lots of options. It is about a 2-minute or less walk across the road to the beach and they have lot of sun loungers reserved for their guests on a lovely stretch of beach and the quieter end. And finally, great great staff. Everyone was unfailingly kind, helpful and efficient. Can't wait to go back.

Great place. Wonderful staff. Beach chairs are a huge plus and incentive; just 15 seconds from the beach by foot! All you have to do is cross the street. Room is a great value. Would absolutely return if back in Ngapali. Only thing that needs serious work is the WiFi. Poor signal in the room and requires a re-login every 30 min or so.

Affordable stay in a resorty place
The rate is affordable given that the area is resorty, but often I hear noises from outside. Only two mins of walk from the beach, but this part is toward the end of the beach and closer to the village, while I think the nicer part of the beach is around 1km away. No problem walking on those soft white sands in day time, but it also means you can't enjoy the benches there as those are exclusive to guests of other hotels. Well to be fair, River Top has its own on the beach too.

Beautiful bummer
I stayed in a great room and the breakfast was tasty, especially considering the reasonable price for that area... The hotel is close to several options for the beach, restaurants and shopping. Unfortunately, I experienced internet issues and staff communication problems (with both my arrival and departure) that cast a rather dark shadow on the memories of my time in Ngapali.
