Koh Yao Yai Village

I was overall very impressed. It reminded me of the quiet resorts in the area I used to go to as a child that have now been trashed and overflowing with tourists. Pools were beautiful, the beaches were amazing, calm & relaxing. The staff was kind, friendly and attentive. This was the thai experience I was looking forward to showing my boyfriend (who had never been to asia before, let alone my home country!) and this resort did not disappoint. Negatives - we ordered a drink at the bar, we paid them which turned out to not be enough with tax + service. That was our first purchase at the resort so we didnt know these fees applied. I heard the servers saying something in Thai semi mocking my bf for not paying enough which is unacceptable. I wish they would have handled this situation in a more professional manner - it was the only hiccup servicewise. The other negative was that all the cups in the room were dirty with lipstick etc. WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK!!

Wonderful accommodation with super friendly and helpful staff. The location is beautiful, the beds are comfortable. The cabins are cosy and the outside shower and lounge are amazing. The staff treats every guest as a VIP, which feels amazing. We would definitely come back here!

We stayed in the beach front bungalow: it was massive, with a nice terrasse in front of rice field and beach. The hotel is not brand new, the food is so so but if you are looking for a quiet gate away with a wonderful infinity pool go for it! Good value for money

yao yai village voldeed aan onze verwachtingen.het interieur was proper en in locale stijl zoals heel het resort.het eten in het restaurant van het resort was lekker maar naar thaise normen beetje duurder dan bij de locals.verder op kan je goedkoop scooters huren en het eiland bezichtigen.

Large & spacious rooms with an amazing patio and outdoor shower, loved my stay! only wish the breakfast spread were more elaborate.

Stuff. Walue for money. Authentic.

This was the most beautiful and affordable few days in paradise. The staff, place, surrounds, service , room and ambience was truely wonderful

its a chill out place just to relax and do nothing

Enjoyed a very relaxing three nights here. Resort is beautiful, view amazing and the staff are wonderful. A pity there isn’t a good swimming beach.

This is one of the most beautiful hotels I've stayed in - highly recommended. If you are looking to escape from the world for a few days, this is the perfect place. It's super clean, quiet and beautifully decorated. Great staff, food and has everything you'd need. We stayed in low season, and the hotel had only a few guests. A highlight was the cute kittens that live there - very entertaining.

Very nice things to say about the rooms which are beautiful and spacious. We were there at the low season and one can see how they cut through services (breakfast got smaller every day) and the place itself looks like five years ago it was amazing and now things are not being repaired.

Just as good as the first during their soft opening, maybe better. Great breakfast. Dinner could be better, but that's a minor quibble. Fix the gym would be my only complaint. Would go again

This is a quiet but great spot. Been here at least 5 times with family and friends when visiting. Amazing infinity pool. Only issue is the hotel food all starts tasting the same after day 2 so explore and look around for local food.

-staff to slow -food is not really good - mosquitos net around the bed was damaged - wifi was poor signal - room was not really clean - beach has a lot of rubbish

++++++ really beautiful bungalows! (we had "garden villa" with super nice and big daybed, then "deluxe" which is good as well) delicious food and breakfast! (kind of expensive but its worth it) great spa! (again expensive but worth it) a lot of privacy cause bungalows are not built next to each other feeling of thailand (in comparison to other more western resorts) great pool area it seems that the village is quite eco-friendly - be aware that without transport its not that easy to have lunch/dinner somewhere else swimming at the beach is never possible (just rent a scouter and visit the other beautiful beaches of the island) spacious resort (so you have privacy! but maybe you have to walk quite "far" to get to your room, maybe you should bring your stroller) dont like guests who are blocking sunbeds at the pool with their towels! what a bad habit! with our 3 years old son, we extended a night and would always come back! we highly recommend the village and the island as such!!!

Stunning place wish we had stayed longer I would love to return. Booked because of the rooms and the open air shower neither disappoined. Views from the pool were incredible Food was very good neither of us got ill at any point Staff were very friendly Hotel was always clean Could do with more sunbeds around the pool and beach

Stayed in Seaview Villa. The state of Villa is rather poor. Biggest issue are the damaged mosquito nets in Windows. Especially as there is a lot of standing water (rice paddies etc) right next to them. Mosquito net over bed was damaged as well. Both issues were reported to the reception and ignored over our 3 night stay. The room could use a more thorough cleaning as well. While walking barefoot our feet got dirty right after checkin. The restaurant is priced ok but quality varies. It goes from really good to uneatable ( on same dishes just different days) The pool is nice and activity centre crew is great as well.

From Phuket, it is cheapest to take a taxi to Bang Rong Pier (400-600 baht, depending if you need small or big taxi). Speedboats leave from Bang Rong Pier to Koh Yo Yai every hour up until 530pm. The boat ride is 300 baht per person, 200 baht for kids under 12. This is cheaper than paying the hotel transfer cost. Boat ride tickets are purchased right at the dock. There are taxis waiting at Koh Yo Yai side to take you to the resort (again 300-400 baht). The resort itself is sensational. Stunning views of Phang Nga bay. Very helpful staff. The grounds and villas are kept nicely, and the pool and beach areas are very clean and well kept. The food is delicious at the resort restaurant. They have buffet options at night, as well as complimentary breakfast buffet in the morning. They also have a seafood restaurant on the beach that serves fresh catches. Overall, money very well spent.

If you are looking for a resort that's off the beaten path away from the crowds, little villas that are well appointed hidden in the jungle with ocean views than this is the place. Fantastic staff, amazing pool and lovely food that's very affordable. Koh Yao Yai itself is a beautiful island that's very local with no high rise hotels and overdevelopment. The Village is located on a remote stretch of beach with a great infinity pool, small gym and loads to do nearby with a short scooter ride. Scooters are less than $6 a day to rent and the island is easily accessible in under an hour either way. Highly recommended!

I stayed here for three nights with my wife and son. While the rooms were nice, we had only enough hot water for one and a half showers before t went cold. Most things we asked for - soy milk, extra water, bananas at breakfast and a coconut by the pool - they couldn’t provide for a bizarre variety of reasons. This hotel has potential, but missed the mark for the money.
