Koh Yao Yai Village ★★★★
"I recently stayed at Koh Yao Yai Village for 3 days and overall had a wonderful experience. The breakfast was a real highlight – a wide variety of delicious options, fresh ingredients, and something new to enjoy each morning. Whether you’re into Western-style breakfasts or local Thai dishes, there’s plenty to choose from. The pool is absolutely amazing – spacious, clean, and with stunning views that make it perfect for relaxing during the day. Definitely a standout feature of the resort! However, during our stay, there were ongoing renovations, which brought some noise during the day. If you’re planning to spend time in your room during the daytime, be aware that it might not be completely quiet. Despite that, the overall atmosphere, service, and facilities made it a memorable and relaxing getaway. I’d still recommend it, especially if you’re out exploring during the day."
THE REAL ESCAPE - Koh Yao Noi ★★★
"Nice and clean"
Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort and Spa ★★★★★
"We tried three different room types, and this one was the best. After talking to the front desk, we weren't given the best floor, but at least the view was still pretty good. The restaurant near the lobby had delicious food, but the breakfast restaurant was just average with limited choices, though it did have a great view. Getting to Koh Yao Yai was quite convenient, but you have to pay for it yourself. I traveled from Koh Yao Yai to Krabi directly by speedboat, which was very easy. The island is almost exclusively frequented by Caucasians. As long as you can speak English, you'll get by fine. The staff were very enthusiastic, and I didn't feel any discrimination. There are plenty of activities, so you can stay busy even without leaving the resort. Just a heads-up: kayaking and paddleboarding are free for 30 minutes a day. If the weather is bad and you can't use them, the time doesn't carry over to the next day; it expires. The hotel is huge, and transportation relies entirely on pickup trucks. There are many vehicles, which is convenient, but it feels a bit environmentally unfriendly. The island isn't big; you can get around by scooter, but there isn't much to do, just one sandbar. There was a slight hiccup that I hope they improve. On our last day, when leaving the island for Krabi, there was a miscommunication with the hotel. We waited for a long time, but no staff member called us to get on the car, and our luggage was nowhere to be found. We watched as wave after wave of Europeans got on their buses with their luggage, but no one paid attention to us. I had to go ask myself, otherwise, we wouldn't have gotten on a car or seen our luggage."
Paradise KohYao ★★★★
"Fantastic location, great rooms and well looked after by staff."
Blue Bay Resort - Access to Pool and Beach-Phuket & Krabi ★★★★★
"A luxurious hotel with its own beach access and excellent breakfasts. We stayed for 4 nights, then extended for another 4. The service is top-notch."
Thiwson Beach Resort ★★★
"We only stayed for one night (on our way from Krabi to Phuket), and that was a big mistake! The clean pool offers an amazing view! The rooms are excellent, and the breakfasts are fantastic."
Cape Kudu Hotel, Koh Yao Noi ★★★★★
"Rich breakfast, staffs very polite and helpful"
TreeHouse Villas Koh Yao - Adults Only ★★★★★
"Comfortable, but the journey is a bit tortuous"
Royal Yao Yai Island Beach Resort ★★★★★
"1. Great location with beach, pool area and lots of space 2. Close to other restaurants on beach 3. Personell could have been more helpful in travel options when leaving the island 4. Service for food was ok 5. Towels should be made easier available in pool area 6. Bed was great and room was good. Toilet a bit dated Taking all the above into account we had a great stay and we were really happy! Would recommend."

Baan Taranya Koh Yao Yai Resort
"We stayed here for three nights in a Honeymoon Villa. It’s most definitely a 3*+ place and not 4*. The room was ok, and as others have said a few more power outlets wouldn’t go amiss. The bed was ok for a few hours and after that becomes a bit of a torture device. The pool is ok, but by modern standard a bit of an uninspired block. All ‘ok’ rather than ‘wow’. The main issue with the place though is the restaurant, it really is properly terrible. If you are on a package including evening meal then that gets you the set menu, which is the same every day. And that menu is a choice of one thing - the same unchanging thing every day. You will have the same thing day after day unless you then pay for something else. And God help you if you are vegetarian as then the food options then really are awful. Technically the restaurant is run separately to the hotel as you pay them separately, but to all intents if you are a guest it is the hotel’s restaurant, in the hotel grounds, where you have breakfast, etc. If you are going here, it’s ok, but think of it as a 3* and you’ll be pleased, but not as a 4*. And do not eat here, rent a scooter and there are really good restaurants 5-10 minutes away to the right at the top of the road, or about 25 minutes away to the left. On the subject of the scooters, the hotel charges 700 baht a day for them, but walk five minutes to the top of the road and the place up there is 250 baht for the day. The hotel also gets very finger-waggy about ‘if you have a puncture you pay for recovery and for the new tyre’, but given the state of the roads a puncture is hardly the fault of the rider and is an inevitability at some point for some poor rider. Seems excessively harsh."
Sabai Corner Bungalows
"Let me start by saying that we took a two-week trip to Thailand and stayed in other bungalows nestled in the forest. We weren't expecting the comforts of a five-star hotel, but at least we were expecting an enclosed accommodation where we could rest at night in the middle of a forest full of animals. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. It should be noted that these aren't bungalows, but huts open on all sides, allowing insects and animals to enter from anywhere. The bed was surrounded by a mosquito net, but it had holes in some places: after two minutes, the bed was covered in mosquitoes. The accommodation was at the top of the mountain (inconvenient to reach and without lighting). The bathroom was outside the room, downstairs. We didn't feel at all comfortable, so we asked to change rooms, but they were all occupied. We then decided to look for another accommodation, which isn't easy on such a small island where it's already pitch black by 6 p.m. The hotel offered no help, let alone a refund, zero, even though we had paid for two nights' stay. They called us a taxi and we left. The structure and treatment were terrible."
Samsam YAO Noi - Andaman Magic & Art Villas
"Phenomenal Experience at Sam Sam. I took some Time out just by myself. I was looked After by a very attentive team ..a truly magical experience and looked after on every level. Villa is amazing .. exceptional!"
Artisan Koh YAO Yai
"This is a wonderful hotel. It feels like it's too big but in a good way, so you have plenty of space on the large resort basically for yourself. Room is quite big and clean, service is good too."
Big Sun Residences By iRETREAT
"We had a fantastic time for a couple of nights. We were picked up at the speedboat pier, luggage brought for us to the hotel room, greeted with a welcome drink even before checking in, and able to enjoy the remote location and quiet vibe of the hotel. The swimming pool offers a great view, and was rarely in use. This is a very well run, newly built, clean and well serviced hotel. We did not experience any resort activities, nor were we offered any. We hired a scooter for a day, directly at the hotel, at the cost of 300baht. This was a fantastic way to go exploring! Food at the restaurant was very good, although not necessarily fine dining by western standards. Occasionally, some dishes would be unavailable due to missing ingredients, such as avocados - but I guess that is how it is to live on an island! Otherwise a fantastic stay, with staff that really try their hardest for you. It was lovely."
Six Senses Yao Noi
"Wonderful hotel. Great food and dining options. The views are also insane and they have really beautiful special touches like bird houses in names of regular clients, gifted us personalised luggage tags when we left, there were special day rooms for when when we arrived before check in or checked out hours before we had to leave which I had never encountered yet in another hotel. It was our honeymoon and they left us so many nice notes, treats, decorations for the occasion and even gifted us an in room private dining experience around our villa pool. We also happened to be there during valentine’s and they left us cute hand written valentines notes in our rooms with nice drawings on them and hosted a wonderful valentine dinner. They also had a cute happy honeymoon sign on our door and I could see they did that for all guests thar had occasions which I found wonderful! Everyone had a sign with a different illustration… Congratulations, haooy honeymoon, happy birthday, happy anniversary! They celebrated any and all occasions for guests My only negative comment is that coming from previously staying at six senses samui, the breakfast options are very weak and basic at Six Senses Yao Noi. Hotel guests LOVE a good hotel breakfast specially when paying premium prices… At Six Senses Samui there were different flavoured energy bowls everyday, Thai Toasts, someone hand cutting mangoes all morning… the options were very nice and varied and local. It wasn’t the case at Yao Noi"
Dan's Koyao Retreat
"If you want a quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle of Phuket, this little piece of paradise is almost perfect. Staff were great (Sin was very friendly and helpful), room was clean and spacious, bed large and comfortable, great views, breakfast, pool etc. Room for improvement: the shower was decent but could have been better, the small white desk/bedside table was not comfortable and didn't really fit in with the rest of the decor in the room, and I didn't get a reply to the email I sent prior to my arrival asking about transfers to the property. Overall though, still great and we would have loved to stay longer."
Artisan Koh YAO Yai Handcraft Beachfront Villas
"There were a lot of ants in the room, and the room itself was not cleaned well. The girl at the reception was friendly, helped me rent a bike. The hotel is authentic, interesting design, but I will not come again."
Laguna Villas Boutique Hotel
"An absolutely magnificent hotel with incredible charm, great serenity and very classy staff, very welcoming and smiling. Splendid, very pleasant rooms with plenty of space and very, very well equipped. A magnificent swimming pool but very cold in the light. Really a recommended hotel and ultimately not very far from the night markets by tuk-tuk it's not expensive"
Elixir Resort Koh YAO Yai
"The hotel is not so big but very cute. Thai style room and with super welcomed stuff, they are so polite! Breakfast is nice, you have a lot of choice, western and Thai. I like to eat dinner here and watching sunset. The price is expensive then the local restaurant but also reasonable, and the taste is very good. Tiki bar has happy hour from 5-7pm. Perfect time to watch sunset. The beach and pool never crowded, a perfect place for get away and relaxing. In the afternoon there are a lot of crabs to catch. There are 3 very cute dogs in this resort. If you want to have a quiet vacation and only enjoy, relaxing, I recommend this hotel."
Koyao Island Resort
"This is just a picture perfect resort. Amazing views from the garden, the villas and the pool! The staff is super friendly and the restaurant super tasty - highly recommend!"
YAO Bada Badoo Boutique Resort
"My wife and I stayed at Yao Bada Badoo for 6 nights and absolutely loved it. Our room was classy and beautifully appointed with high ceilings and modern fittings. The bathroom was a standout and the bed was so comfortable it was hard to get out of. Our host Stacey and her staff went above and beyond in making our stay truly fantastic. The resorts location and proximity to beaches, activities, dining and the main pier is perfect. If you're looking for your oasis, this is it!! "
Jaiyen Eco Resort
"We spent 11 nights in this indescribably beautiful and peaceful place! We have rarely felt so comfortable. The staff is so warm and charming… a smile says more than a thousand words. Pure nature, and the lodge truly lives up to its "Eco" designation. The food is fantastic, served and cooked with great care. The rooms are very clean and well air-conditioned. We slept better than we have in a long time. Everything on the island is easily and comfortably accessible with the rental scooters. The view of the sea is sensational, and we don't want to leave. Everything is organized according to our wishes, and there was nothing we lacked. We travel a lot and are quite spoiled – but this place will now hold a special place in our hearts. We will be back! That's for sure, and we can hardly wait. Somm O and her colleague are simply enchanting! Thank you for a wonderful time in paradise, and see you soon!"
9 Hornbills Tented Camp
"We had a perfect stay of 4 nights in the tent. The view is amazing, looking down on the ocean and the beautiful islands. The sunrise is spectacular. Being surrounded by lush green nature and the sound of birds is perfect to relax. The tent was very luxurious. They brought us breakfast to the room every morning, even floating breakfast in the pool. The private dinner we booked extra was one of a kind - private seafood bbq right at the tent. The employees very very kind and friendly, always trying to help as much as they could. The sports massage at the spa was great too. We could also use the beach and pool of the Koyao resort (the resort doesn’t have many rooms so it is never crowded on the beach). We didn’t find anything that wasn’t great."
