Prana Resort Nandana Samui, Koh Samui, Thailand with kids

Our family stay at Prana Resort Nandana Samui, Koh Samui, Thailand with kids was wonderful from start to finish.

We had been to Koh Samui before but not with children and it was fantastic to return with them. And show them this beautiful island.

For this trip we stayed at the Prana Resort as part of our summer trip to Thailand with kids and after lots of sightseeing at the start this was the perfect place to relax. We felt welcomed into this gorgeous hotel and loved every minute of it.
