Koh Yao Yai Village
9.5 (89 reviews)

Koh Yao Yai Village ★★★★

📍 78 Ko Yao District, Koh Yao Yai

"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."

Thiwson Beach Resort

Thiwson Beach Resort ★★★

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

"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."

Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort and Spa
9.4 (337 reviews)

Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort and Spa ★★★★★

📍 88 Moo 7, Phunai, Koh Yao, Phru Nai, Koh Yao Yai

"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."

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

"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."

Anattaya Holiday Home ★★★

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

"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."

Banhalawee ★★

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

"I rated 3 just due to a very low price. It's a quite unmaintained "resort". Gifts, the good things. It has a beautiful seaview. Cheap meals (80 b) from the wife of the chief. The rooms are very basic, but there is a small fridge. Very hard or too soft beds. They do not clean the rooms. We stayed here for 4 days, no cleaning, we asked twice, still nothing. The place is little remote, no restaurants around. The sea is about 800 m, but with big rocks, can't go to the water easily."

"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

"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 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!"

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 ★★★★
"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."

"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."
