    Nothing really

    Everything about this location was above expectations. Idyllic, relaxing and staff went out of their way to ensure a wonderful stay. Food choice was excellent and deliciously tasting and well presented. The private beach was clean and natural with lovely views across the bay to Phuket. Our transport back to Phuket International airport was organized by the staff. Timings for the pick up and boat transfers were punctual and trouble free. The staffs planning really took the stress of my return to the airport. I will return sometime in the future.

    To do things outside the resort you need to hire a motorcycle or get a taxi. However the roads are quiet and relatively easy to navigate for a novice rider. Some shops have motorcycles with side cars which would be great for a family with small kids.

    2nd time we stayed at this resort. This time in a superior suite which is much brighter and a little bigger than the villa. Lovely deck with sun lounges and out door massive bath. Gardens are magnificent. Staff warm & friendly, amazing restaurant with the most beautiful view of the bay looking back towards Phuket. Reception staff are fabulous and will organise any transportation you need. Activities room has kayaks, mask & snorkels to borrow. One of the prettiest beaches in Thailand.

    Don’t do the Ko Khai Nai or the Ko Khai Nok tours they are full of day trippers and jet skis from Phuket. Would have like it if the hotel staff had advised differently, but also my fault for not google it first. The pool is small if it is peak season and the tide is low.

    Boutique resort located on a private beach. Villas are clean & comfortable, loved the outdoor shower. Staff are constantly cleaning the beach & gardens. Food at restaurant was some of the best I have ever had in Thailand. Fantastic cocktails at happy hour watching the sunset. Koh Yao Yai is a traditional fishing farming community. And despite its proximity to Phuket does not have much shopping. Only two 7-11’a. No bank a few ATMs not sure if they take non Thai cards. So bring cash. Hire a scooter from just outside the hotel and explore the island. Be respectful of the communities as many islanders are Muslim. Ie: swim wear is for the beach only. Note that the tidal difference is about 3m so at low tide some beaches become sand flats or rocky. Seafood is fresh but some items (lobster, king prawns, crabs) need 24 hrs notice. Which I think is great as you know it will be fresh.

    Some of the infrastructure is getting a bit “tired”.

    Fabulous location on lovely sandy beach. Nice pool, restaurant and bar. Accommodation is comfortable and aircon was good, if a bit noisy. Gardens well maintained. Staff very helpful.

    It is a bit isolated. So be sure to come here for a nice and relaxing quiet stay.

    The property was very welcoming and the staff very nice and helpful. Rooms are super comfortable with outside showers and big beds. The food at breakfast was amazing and different everyday. The restaurant at night on the beach was also very good and with a crazy sunset view.

    During high season it's hard to book something, but that definetely means that hotel is great.

    Absolutely great place! Quiet, very tasty breakfasts, private beach and awe-inspiring sunsets! For me the best place to stay on Koh Yao Yai if you like a bit of luxury, but not overpriced and with a bit of local spice. We rented scooter on northern part of island (cheaper then closer to hotel). Also - small gym, but almost always empty. If you need to do cardio or small workout - great. A place to chill. We'll be back for sure. Can't wait :)

    The rooms are lovely and clean, aircon is great and the outdoor shower is a lovely touch! The staff couldn’t do enough for us and helped us book the mangrove kayaking which I highly recommend! The beach at the hotel is beautiful with plenty of sunbeds and an amazing sunset. You can rent a scooter to get across the island to Laem Haad beach extremely cheap, we had so much fun riding around the island exploring!

    There was a bit of ant infestation in our outdoor shower. And it is a bit of a drive from the pier. But you can book a taxi for an additional fee. But none of this took away from the amazing experience.

    An unbelievably, beautifully furnished and decorated villa with its own personal infinity pool overlooking the sea. This was such an idyllic setting located on the beach front.

    My husband wasn’t keen on the platform bed! (A bit hard on the old knees getting up & down)

    Lovely quiet sandy beach with Plenty of sun beds. The beach has a very big shallow shelf (which is exposed at low tide) so you can stand up a long way out & it’s nice for snorkelling. A little rocky - wear swimming shoes! Cute rooms (with fridge) & I liked the outside shower. Delicious food in the restaurant (in a beautiful setting) & not really more expensive than the 3 nearby restaurants (which are on the road & the food is nowhere near as good) Decent breakfast. Cocktail happy hours! Lovely staff. Rent a scooter - they’re great fun:)

    Prices, in general, are too high. We only had dinner once in the restaurant, because on the street corner, the restaurant is half price for the same. The resort also feels a bit dated, so the high accommodation prices don't feel correct. Pick up from the pier for 30 minutes is 600 baht.

    We had a great stay and enjoyed our villa with a private pool. It's great to relax and quiet location. Great breakfast options.

    I loved everything.

    I liked everything. Food was very good from the restaurant albeit more expensive than outside but that is to be expected. Close to shops and restaurants. The rooms are comfortable with good aircon. The pool looks nice if that's your thing but the beach is beautiful. Not good for snorkeling though. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I don't usually want to go back to the same place but this is an exception.

    Only thing i didnt like was once in the water the sea floor is very rocky and uncomfortable to stand on. (Not in the control of the resort to be fair.)

    All round a great resort. Everything from the staff to the food and our room was great. Lovely peaceful place.
