Baan Taranya KohYaoYai Resort

lovely location, attached pic from the beach @ sunset. well worth the trek - the island is a 30-minute ferry trek from east Phuket but feels a million miles away! staff are friendly & helpful, restaurant is top notch. five stars!!

I really enjoyed my stay. Everything I expected. It is very quiet and relaxed. Just what I wanted. Very friendly staff and the room was great. Free shuttle bus to Laem Haad beach which is a must. Breakfast was OK. Restaurant at the end of the road with the green plastic seats served the best, cheap, good food. I would stay there again.

This is the best place in Thailand for sure! The beaches are beautiful, and the island is amazing. Baan Taranya is the most beautiful hotel I have ever stayed at. The staff are amazing, they are so friendly and helpful. The service here is outstanding! I am coming back here, for sure!

We stayed here for 4 nights and found the staff to be very friendly, calm and relaxed. The room was very good, the views are spectacular and a great place to relax and unwind. Plenty to do on the island to enjoy. If you want a fast paced stay then this place is not for you.. loved it and would thoroughly recommend..

WARNING: DO NOT STAY AT THIS hotel !! This hotel is by far the worst hotel I have been to in six continents and over 70 countries. The level of incompetence and deception is mine boggling. From the beginning of the booking process which was a nightmare . From the website stating that there may be a transfer or surcharge fee to get from the airport to the island. That surcharge fee$100 US exceed the room price of $75 a night. From booking the hotel through ********** and paying in full , when I called the hotel they had no record of my booking even though I gave them my name & ********** and booking number. I spent over three hours trying to make the arrangements to get the pick up from the airport to taking the boat to the island. Which they also do not tell you that you're on a boat ride for over one hour& taxi ride on the island. The hotel will not allow cancellation or changes in your reservation if you can get through to them . They don't pick up their phones or answer their emails from ********** or for over 3 days , I tried repeatedly for three days also for them to call back or respond to their emails which they didn't. Don't just take my word for it , look at every bad review posted at ********** on how poor this hotel is . This is not a vacation location you want to go to! Unless maybe you want a vacation in hell ! A vacation is supposed to be happy and positive experience this hotel is 180° opposite to that in every way .

This place is absolutely amazing! The staff are so Nice and helpful, and the place is beautiful! The hotel is located on the beach, wich is so pretty. This place also has two amazing swimmingpools, the best seaview and an amazing resturant with great food. We had the best stay ever, and will definetly come back!

We booked Honeymoon Suite with Spa Bath and paid approx. £260 for 4 nights. We chose all our hotels on our 60 night trip carefully, looking at various booking platforms and own site Web pages. We chose this hotel for its location to the beach and the room type because we wanted privacy and a spa bath! Check in was quick, the room wasn't ready (we were early) and we were directed to the beach and pool. The pool area is lovely. There are actually 2 pools, 1 near reception as part of the pool access rooms, we felt this pool was a bit awkward. The other pool had about 10 sunbeds and 4 under cover day beds. The pool always had beds available during our stay. The water was a nice temperature and the pool area was very sunny. The beach, like a lot in Thailand is tidal so sometimes it looks lovely, other times not! The beach area is part of the restaurant, tables & seats on the sand and deck chairs and bean bags to lounge on. This is an area the hotel could very easily make better. Half the area is underneath trees, shedding leaves constantly, but where the deck chairs / bean bags are are not. If this area was raked it would make it so much more appealing. Its covered in beach debris and is really quite unpleasant. The seating area has a really cool caravan bar, chilled music and really nice cocktails, if a little pricey at 250bt plus 17%! Service is slow but friendly. Food is OK, nothing special. You cannot charge the bar/restaurant to your room which is a nuisance meaning you have to take your wallet. We were told we could charge room service / massage to the room?! The room itself was quite disappointing. It wasn't private nor was it special! It's quite a small room with a sofa, bed and TV then thru to the bathroom. Shower with no curtain, toilet, sink and spa bath. This suite shares a large balcony, you walk past 1 suite to get to yours. The suites are connected and you can hear the people next door speaking, moving about and using the toilet! So assume they can hear you too! The TV had Netflix but it didn't work, even after 3 alleged visits from an engineer. One night we ordered room service, even though no menu available! We recieved a call telling us it was ready for collection, they do not deliver to the room! This did affect our enjoyment of the room. Most annoyingly was the spa bath not working. There are bath bombs for sale in the room 180bt. We came to fill the bath to find no hot water! So the Honeymoon Suite with Spa bath was a bit of a fraud really! No room service, no Netflix, no spa bath, no privacy! Nobody seemed to care about our stay, at check out nobody asked anything! We put some laundry in and was told it would be ready 5pm next day. We hadn't returned to hotel so went next morning, check out day, to collect it. It wasn't there! Because we didn't collect it a 5pm it went back to the laundry!! On the whole we thought the hotel was a little disappointing. Their website needs updating to reflect changes as we'd booked based on

We stayed in the Penthouse and it is truly a lovely hotel. The rooms are spacious and the Penthouse also has access to a private Jacuzzi on the top floor which has great views. Staff are extremely helpful. They also have their own scooters to rent which is a huge bonus. Lovely pools available and the beach front drinks relax area on the beach sand is wonderful. We only ate breakfast which was fine. I would definitely stay there again.
