Thiwson Beach Resort
9.3 (48 reviews)

Thiwson Beach Resort ★★★

📍 58/2 Moo 4, T.Ko Yao Tai, A.Ko Yao, Phangnga, Koh Yao Yai

"Generally a nice hotel with decent food, nice pool and a beach with beautiful views. Cottage is fine if not afraid of insects. The biggest letdown was actually the staff, they never smiled, they never acted polite and seemed to be depressed. For a beach resort you would expect at least some general happiness with greetings."

Baan Taranya Koh Yao Yai Resort
8.7 (34 reviews)

Baan Taranya Koh Yao Yai Resort ★★★★

📍 69/8 moo 4, klong bon, Koh Yao Yai

"This was our second stay, and our already positive impression was confirmed once again. The staff are all extremely friendly and always ready to help. There are two pools (some rooms have direct access to the first pool). Everything is well-maintained, and the breakfast is delicious. The hotel is located right on the beach and has a few sun loungers available. The beach is expansive, and you can see the most beautiful sunrises from here if you can get up early enough (ideally, start an hour before sunrise – you'll see the most amazing colors in the sky). There are plenty of restaurants nearby, as well as options for massages and scooter rentals. The hotel offers one free excursion a day to Laem Haad Beach, which is a must-see. Tip: Renting a scooter gives you the flexibility to watch the stunning sunset from Laem Haad Beach (stay a little longer there, as the sky becomes incredibly colorful after sunset). Koh Yao Yai has strong tides. At low tide, the beach in front of the hotel, like everywhere else, doesn't look so inviting, simply because there's no water and it appears rather desolate. However, you can take beautiful walks on the mudflats and enjoy the wonderful wildlife with all the crabs and sand dollars, as well as the incredibly beautiful scenery. We had another wonderful time here. Many thanks to the entire team."

Anattaya Holiday Home
8.8 (18 reviews)

Anattaya Holiday Home ★★★

📍 21, 1, Ko Yao Noi, Ko Yao District, Chang Wat Phang-nga, Koh Yao Noi

"Ninaa is just an awesome host! very welcoming, friendly, any question is super easy to solve and it’s pleasant to talk to her. The same as with people surrounding her. I would stay more, but it was fully booked already, people love this place, simple and cosy, wooden houses, calm courtyard hidden in trees."

Banhalawee ★★

📍 2/9 Moo 3 Tambol Phu Nai Ampur Ko Yao, Phru Nai, Koh Yao Yai

"The amenities are very basic. There's no hot water. It's suitable if you plan to explore the island and just sleep in the bungalow. You can also relax during the day, there's air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and they prepare breakfast. If you go up behind all the bungalows, you get a beautiful view of the garden and the sea, and monkeys jump in the trees – I've attached photos. The location is decent if you have a scooter. Without one, the beaches are quite far."

Koyao Island Resort

"The best beach on the whole island of Koh Yao Noi. Private 220meters long beach and its view. I appreciate the help of all the staff."

YAO Bada Badoo Boutique Resort Hotels in Koh Yao

YAO Bada Badoo Boutique Resort

"We stay at the resort for 3 nights, overall good experience except the hot water is just too hot and it has no control to lower the temperature of the hot water and also the water pressure is low. This a good little boutique resort to chill and relax and to meet other travelers. The services are very good. The foods are excellent and tasty."

Laguna Villas Boutique Hotel Hotels in Koh Yao

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"

Jaiyen Eco Resort Hotels in Koh Yao

Jaiyen Eco Resort

"We stayed at this hotel with our children. We originally planned to stay for three nights, but ended up staying only two because the hotel was completely inconvenient. The food was terrible. We were charged for a bottle of wine that we didn't drink. The staff even threatened us, saying they wouldn't call us a taxi if we didn't pay the bills. I'll skip over some minor details: there were no ashtrays on the balcony. The breakfast was terrible. Even a simple Pad Thai wasn't good enough. The balcony wasn't cleaned. The electricity went out for two hours the night before, with no backup generator. In short, this place shouldn't be called a hotel, but rather a scam."

Better view koh yao yai ★★★★
"Our room was absolutely gorgeous, really spacious and spotlessly clean. The jacuzzi bath was fabulous and the view from the resort was magical. The food in the restaurant was OK, there are other cheaper and tastier restaurants within walking distance though. We hired a bike for the day which was hassle free and cheaper than the rental place next door. The pool area was beautiful and we even saw a couple of water monitor lizards. The owner and staff are super friendly and helpful, I would 100% recommend this place to anyone who wants a quiet, relaxed and authentic Thai island experience."

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."

"The hotel was super clean and comfy, located in the heart of the village, 1 minute walk from 7Eleven, restaurants and attractions. Nina, the owner, is the type of host that will take care of everything and more! She arranged the most beautiful dsy out for me and nothing was ever a problem for her. Can’t wait to book again and get back to the best hotel in Koh Yai Noi."

"We were really looking forward to our stay here, but unfortunately, nothing matched our expectations or the photos shown at the time of booking. Instead of a cozy wooden bungalow with a jungle view, we were given a room in a concrete building with thin wooden partitions that had gaps, making it impossible not to hear every sound and conversation from the neighboring rooms. The room itself was a nightmare: spiders and other insects everywhere, mattresses so worn out that you could feel every spring, and bed linen that did not seem fresh at all. The bathroom was missing basic essentials like soap and toilet paper, while black mold covered parts of the walls. A broken bathroom shelf was hanging crookedly, and the shower only had cold water, with half of it leaking straight from the hose instead of coming out of the showerhead. After a sleepless night, we decided to leave. The owner initially assured us that we would be refunded for the remaining nights but told us to arrange it through ***********. However, Booking only refunded one night, stating that the refund was at the discretion of the owner. When we confronted him again, he suddenly barely spoke English and kept repeating the same sentence, making any further discussion impossible. Other guests also had non-functioning toilets, which reinforced our impression that this place deliberately takes advantage of backpackers. Just a short distance away, we found a far better accommodation for only 4–5 Euros more per night. Conclusion: Absolutely not recommended!"
