"We would have liked to have stayed longer. We have never had such friendly staff. They even helped us rent a scooter and drove us there personally and we didn't have to worry about taking the scooter away. In general they were very helpful and we were given a warm welcome. The room was also super clean and we slept in very comfortable beds. If we come to Ko Yao Noi again, we would come back here straight away. Really a recommendation! Thank you for everything :)"

★★★★ 8.7 (34 reviews)

"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."

Royal Yao Yai Island Beach Resort

Royal Yao Yai Island Beach Resort

📍 128, Loh Pa-Red Beach, Ko Yao District, Phru Nai, Koh Yao Yai
★★★★★ 8.6 (130 reviews)

"A lot of room for improvement. Service - check in was chaotic, staff members almost too scared to look up to see who is there for them to help. Our room wasn’t ready which was fine as we were a little early. Came back a 3 hours later, 3 members of staff free all talking amongst themselves.. again no one wanted to look up. Eventually someone acknowledged me and got our room sorted. Beach bar - massively understaffed considering it seemed to be catering for the whole resort, on the beach, by the pool, the grass lawn and the beach restaurant itself! We stayed 3 days and service was slow and lacked organisation and urgency. no one seemed to know which food was for what table, Missing items etc. It’s a shame as food was good and place has so much potential! Breakfast was very much the same - not enough plates, Bowls, glasses etc. tables were slow being cleared. Eg. We had asked for a drinking glass and 1 was brought out instead of bringing enough to fill restock the area for others. Great location - beautiful sunset, has everything you need around. Convenience shops, restaurants etc. For a 5 star resort we were disappointed especially comparing to other resorts a long the same strip of beach. We saw little to no management presence to combat some of these issues or at least see them first hand and solve some of these issues."

Blue Bay Resort - Access to Pool and Beach-Phuket & Krabi

📍 89/1-3 Moo 7, Phunai, Koh Yao, Phru Nai, Koh Yao Yai
★★★★★ 9.1 (200 reviews)

"Beautiful place. Rooms, pool and beach were excellent. Lots of families and couples so as a solo traveller felt a bit out of place. The restaurant was good but one night I was ignored for 30 minutes as there was a large party in. The staff, especially the cleaning and maintenance were superb over the four nights. So friendly and make you feel at home."

Sunrise Beach Kohyao Resort Hotels in Koh Yao

Sunrise Beach Kohyao Resort

"What a great little private set of bungalows! Spacious, immaculately clean, great service and fabulous views! Da-da spoke pretty good English and was super helpful.  She arranged collection from the ferry at 100bt per person and we also rented a scooter for 2 days, at 300bt per day. You can organise breakfast if needed, we didn't bother, opting to eat out late morning."

The Secret Garden Homestay Koh yao yai Hotels in Koh Yao

The Secret Garden Homestay Koh yao yai

"We spent a few fantastic days at Secret Garden Homestay and we can recommend this place with full confidence! Everything was at the highest level - from the wonderful atmosphere, through comfortable accommodation, to the hospitality of the hosts. The facility is located in a quiet, green area, which means you can really relax and feel the atmosphere of the island. The rooms are clean, spacious and very atmospheric, and the proximity of the forest adds a unique charm to this place. However, the greatest advantage of Secret Garden Homestay is the hosts - warm, helpful and always smiling. They were happy to advise us on what to see on Koh Yao Yai, helped with organizing transport and made sure that we lacked nothing. This is a place with soul, to which we would gladly return again. If you are looking for a quiet corner surrounded by nature, Secret Garden Homestay is the perfect choice!"

Jaiyen Eco Resort Hotels in Koh Yao

Jaiyen Eco Resort

"The resort is very secluded, but surrounded by beautiful nature. You have to be aware that there's nothing within walking distance. It's a place to truly unwind. Our room was lovely, and the dogs and cat living there were incredibly cute and well-cared for. We were only moderately satisfied with the service, and the prices for the rather small portions were a bit steep. We booked a boat trip through the hotel and specifically asked if they could recommend something less touristy. Unfortunately, the trip turned out to be to several overcrowded, extremely touristy beaches—a real tourist trap. We were totally disappointed and found it a shame that Jayen Resort recommends and books such excursions. This mass tourism doesn't really fit with their "sustainability concept." I wouldn't recommend staying longer than two nights. Overall, it's a nice resort, but for us, the price-performance ratio wasn't quite right."

Koyao Island Resort Hotels in Koh Yao

Koyao Island Resort

"The facilities are very old. The open-air showers only have hot water; the cold water is broken, so you can't shower. The tent screens are covered in pudding. The only selling point is the same ocean view as Six Senses. The beach chair cushions are also full of stains."

Dan's Koyao Retreat Hotels in Koh Yao

Dan's Koyao Retreat

"We had an amazing stay at Dan Koyao Retreat. The place is very peaceful, surrounded by a small jungle, with a beautiful infinity pool and a stunning view over the islands facing Koh Yao Noi. It’s the perfect spot to relax and disconnect. Sin, the manager and the whole team were incredibly caring and attentive, always making sure we felt comfortable. We truly had a wonderful time there. The breakfasts were amazing! We enjoyed both European and Thai breakfasts, and everything was absolutely delicious. One evening, the team even prepared a seafood dinner for us, grilled on site, which was fantastic. We highly recommend this place. It’s a truly lovely retreat and a great experience overall."

YAO Bada Badoo Boutique Resort Hotels in Koh Yao

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!! "

Laguna Villas Boutique Hotel Hotels in Koh Yao

Laguna Villas Boutique Hotel

"Laguna Villas are a little piece of paradise. We had a lovely 3 night stay as a family of 2 adults and 2 children in one of their deluxe villas. They were happy to add extra beds to the spacious villa for the kids. The staff, especially Nancy and Lys (I think that's her name) were so helpful and kind. Contact them to organise your booking directly to get a great deal! Nancy is great at organising massage and boat trips catering to your wishes."

Elixir Resort Koh YAO Yai ★★★★
"I cannot count how many times I came and stay at Elixir Koh Yao Yai. It's always been amazing like home away from home. Reception staff are very welcoming as always with butterfly pea flower drink and cold towel offered upon arrival. Very cool, nice and clean villa and I loved the outdoor rain shower that you can see the blue sky. This is a nature sorroundings with lovely clean garden and different types of plants and flowers. Food at the restaurant it's really delicious which you can taste all local herbs on it, for me it's the best restaurant in koh yao yai. We ate all the time at the restaurant as not only very good food but also having a beautiful beach and view in front of you which very luxurious feeling. Me and my sister enjoyed the cocktails at pool bar very much especially their happy hour at tiki bar during sunset time. All excellent and all staff are friendly and helpful and this will make you decide come back . I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Elixir Koh Yao Yai, to those who want peace, tranquil, beautiful beach, quiet, and relaxing holiday. They also offer transfer (land and sea which their own boat and island activities as well. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ELIXIR KOH YAO YAI TEAM FOR MAKING OUR STAY WONDERFUL, we will defenitely come back"

Baan Taranya Koh Yao Yai Resort ★★★★
"I don’t know whether this resort has had a major overhaul recently but in no way was our experience reflective of the negative reviews on here. We found the staff very welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. A couple of minor maintenance issues with the room but they were attended to instantly. The room very cleaned everyday and had fresh towels whenever we wanted them. We had room A4 - a superior double with a patio area, away from the pool so very quiet with few passers by. Both pools were cleaned every night. The menu is extensive from traditional Thai food to good old English-style fish and chips plus a separate Japanese menu. Breakfast was an absolute feast! All freshly made. Never had to ask for replenishments. In the evening we generally ate for £15-£20 for main courses and drinks for people. Each day there are special offers and combo deals for drinks and food. A short walk to the main street where there are a couple of shops though we didn’t want for much. Toiletries were well stocked and water bottles were replenished every day. We would love to return here again. The staff are the kindest, most attentive and courteous we have ever experienced."

Toilet a bit dated Taking all the above into account we had a great stay and we were really happy! Would recommend."

"We stayed at Blue Bay Resort in Koh Yao Yai for 2 nights. The gym is simple but well-equipped, and it was pleasantly cool with air conditioning. The hotel grounds are very well maintained and beautiful. Overall, the hotel feels very family-oriented and suitable for a relaxing stay."
