Even though its secluded, you still dont have a lot of privacy. Some tents are too close. Also workers come to clean around and you can see them from the pool

We loved the pool and the view from the tent

- Exceptional views towards the Bileh Archipel Marine park - Hideaway in the nature with full privacy (ideal for honeymoon couples and long married) - Spacious tent with private pool: very nicely equipped, very clean, tastefully designed and furnished - just out of the ordinary - I liked that we were able to enjoy the phantastic beach, pool and restaurant of Koyao Island Resort (the two locations belong together) - We had a magnificant breakfast served to our private pool - Right next to extra luxuary resort of Six Senses, but with very affordable and fair rates - they care a lot about environmental friendliness - we liked the free available bicycles, kayaks and SUP's

Secluded and completely private Robinson Crusoe paradise. If you just want to forget about the rest of the world and run around naked all day while sunbathing and taking dips in the pool it can’t really get any better. We wanted to end our trip in Thailand with some peace and quiet and a place to ourselves. During our 4 weeks in Thailand we were mostly disappointed with the accommodations in relation to the price, however this time we were positively surprised. The view, tent, jungle and pool were fantastic, the service impeccable. With the driver, who is conveniently summoned by a WhatsApp message to the front desk, you are pretty much anywhere in the resort in no time. Food and drinks were delicious. There is a small shop for snacks between the resort and the tended camp. Bike rentals are included so you can easily travel the vicinity…which is, however, not necessary, as the camp is so beautiful that most of the time we wanted to stay in our little piece of paradise and not ever leave. Also it has the best beds i’ve ever had in any hotel ever. All in all it was a fantastic stay, 10/10 would recommend any time.

Nothing to report since we totally enjoyed our stay. We read a couple negative reviews about this resort but feel that these reviews missed the plot.

The villa was very private and the views were spectacular. The service staff were genuinely friendly and attentive to all our requests. The food menu had a great combination of both Thai and western cuisine. The romantic dinner served at our own tent was good value and 5 star quality. I would highly recommend taking the speedboat transfer to and from the resort to enhance your experience. Overall we would highly recommend this resort to others and we will return ASAP. P.S. The hornbills that we spotted were beautiful and we understand how the resort was named.

The locations is absolutely breathtaking, splashing around in your own private pool, enjoying the peace and some good wine. Just complete feeling of calm surrender. And the sunrise nowhere else - you can follow the sun from the tiny redline in horizon and follow it through all of its fases. Sweet and friendly staff always ready help.

Food within the property is good, but there are few better restaurants nearby worth trying.

It is expensive but no regrets for the amazing experience.

It is a shame the upper bar/restaurant is not open. Not a complaint, you can't help covid!

Breakfast was plentiful. We opted not to get the free buggy ride. Who doesn't want to walk a mile to Breakfast 😀

The key highlight of staying here is the isolation and the private pool. It's like a private villa inside nature with a beautiful view of the islands. The staff is very polite and offered our breakfast to be delivered to the room with a floating table in the pool. We also ordered in room service dinner which was very nicely delivered.

9hornbills was amazing from the moment we checked in. The ladies at reception were very friendly and welcoming. They did everything they could so we didn’t have to wait the check in time of 2pm. We stayed in an amazing villa/tent with sweeping views of the ocean and the breathtaking rocks of the phang nga bay. The infinity pool was to die for and the floating breakfast in the pool the next morning was an experience we will never forget. We also organised a private dinner and everything was soo well organised. They came an hour earlier to set up the table with flowers and candles. The food itself was amazing! Fresh seafood and very tasty. The buggy is here to pick you up within seconds when asked. They provided a whatsapp no and everytime we messaged them, they replied within seconds. The wildlife around the villa was amazing also! Felt like you were glamping in the middle of the forest. We will definitely recommend this place and will be back! What an experience!!! Thank you!

The staffs are doing their best, but still not very professional. They are nice and friendly, but they need more training how to deal with customers. The AC was not good so they moved us to another room, and the other room has rusty water in the bath tub. Also the pool's water was not clean.

The tent design is very unique. Also it's located in the mountains so the view is amazing.

It was disappointing 😞 The 9 hornbills placed so so far from the resort, lonley in a jungle it's so scared, the private pool not clean. We can't stay there and moved to resort room, but also we can't sleep all the night because of the insects and frogs everywhere The door with no key, anyone can enter the room anytime, it's not safety We booked 2 nights, but can't stay there more than one night ): I don't recommend this place, it's so expensive, uncomfortable and no safety

Nothing, everything was disappointing 😞

apparent lack of staff’s training. e.g. hospitality, English level, and hygiene level. one the staff came to our room without a mask . even though it was only for a while to put the mosquito coil, it is important to have mask for the well-being of guests and worker)l especially during this sensitive time). during dinner, we have difficulty to communicate. ordered mozzarella stick and came with a salad. tried to explain but to no avail. the cutlery also has stain on it. the light in the pool is not working and the pump looks that way too. not many guest in the hotel, yet we got a room with some trees blocking the sea view. A little disappointed. The buggy service was a little slow too . there is no slipper in the room (and the floor doesn’t feel too clean..) we moved to another hotel at the north of the island, and immediately we see the contrast of service. Excellent hospitality and spotless clean. overall 9Hornbill is still a nice room to stay but needs improvement in many areas. The management have some work to do.

we love the privacy of the villa, nice size pool, floating breakfast and the tented camp. the staffs’ attitude were very good.
