Koyao Island Resort

Great resort with good staff. We had a Hornbill villa on top of the hill with an amazing view. Service and facilities was good with a few flaws (sometimes we had to wait a long time for the buggy, no one would answer the telephone at main reception for a while, AC in villa did not work well enough, but couldn't be fixed). Great value for money in the low season for sure.

We just came back from 2 weeks vacation in this wonderful Villa resort. It has the absolute right mixture from nice and very comfortable villa, fantastic garden / beach, quiet area and very nice staff. Here are some details: Villa: there are 15 villas at the beach, we had a beach villa suite which has a large terrace, where we spend many evenings; bathroom is huge, with a nice shower and bathtube, partely open so you here all noises from the animal/forrest. And it had a very large and comfortable bed. Room for clothes is small, here they could have provided more space. There is even a Nespresso machine and water cooker. BUT: you have to know that the villa is open, so there are mosquitos, sometimes small bugs in the villa or bathroom, once I even saw a squirrel. This is normal for such villas in the tropes, therefore it did not bother us at all. Pool is not to big, but has a great view; beach is good and you could even swim when low tide, Massage and Staff overall are very nice.

it was one of the best trip we ever took, the room and view is so nice, will definitely recommend and come back for more! you need to hire transportation to go around in the island by the way, but staffs is freindly and are willing to help arranging everyth for you,. even though there are some missed arrangement as it is first time they do provide butler service for each room of the hornbills types

This place is amazing. The views from the beach and pool are incredible. We loved how relaxing and peaceful the island and resort are. The staff is super friendly and very accommodating. We really appreciated how the resort has bicycles and kayaks you can rent for free to explore the island (which is super safe and quiet) and the incredible beaches. The sunrises here are pretty incredible, so I do recommend waking up for at least one of them. This is a quiet island - great for those looking for relaxation vs going to clubs etc. Definitely will come back to this place. It's a true gem!

Private beach on the island. Staffs and Manager have a very good hospitality. Good facility and compliment activities. However, the room that i stay has no air condition. During daytime will be quite hot and humid. During nighttime, is ok but lots of mosquitos. Resort provides mosquitos's protective spray though. Great place to visit.

We absolutely loved our stay at Koyao Island Resort. We stayed in a "Sea Breeze Studio" for one night which was lovely. Although it was an open room without external walls and windows, we were given fans to keep us cool. We thought mosquitos would be a problem but the net on the bed was great. The second night we stayed in a "Beach Villa Suite" which has amazing ocean views (and A/C!). This room was just incredible and we loved that we could walk not even 50m and we were on the beach. The resort was so peaceful and the beach is perfect in the middle of the day when the tide is in. The water is so clear if you stick to the left end of the beach away from the rocks. The restaurant onsite is also amazing and probably the best Thai food we have ever had - big call I know but it was that good.

Recommended for couples who want to get away from it all

The resort is perfection. Discreet, relaxed, sophisticated. Prepare for delicious food, lovely staff in perhaps one of the most picturesque locations in Thailand. Your research ends here. This is the place you’re looking for.

We had an amazing week at Koyao Island Resort. Beautiful beach with an infinity pool overlooking it. Great place for relaxing by the beach but there are also activities if you fancy it. We did the yoga which was a great experience as took place right by the beach. Amazing massages at the spa and the restaurant had the best massaman we’d had in Thailand. Would definitely recommend!!

We enjoyed Koyao Island Resort, but had back luck with the weather during our stay. It rained most of every day so we weren’t able to go on any excursions to explore other islands and were stuck at the hotel. It has little to offer for entertainment when raining and there’s only one restaurant which we grew tired of after 4 days. Our experience would have been much better had we had nice weather.

I have really hard time prior to my check in due to the managers never react to my request upon the transfer arrangement. Their reservation manager basically ignored my email (for weeks) until I get Agoda to step in. Even after this she still took a couple of days to react; once I have done my booking of transfer, I asked about the WiFi, she seems mistaken my booking location, so I reply to correct her my booking and since then no reply from her at all.. During my stay, we are very happy with every thing except one day I called 244(our personal assistant during the stay), asking for help to make reservation for a Restaurent, she ask me 3 times - which villa are you in, after all I mentioned my request thus she just cut my line...so I called 240 instead for help; a fine young man picked up and do up every thing smoothly.. unisex all the above we are happy and probably will be back again

We stopped over in the hill-side tents for three nights and they were fabulous. The isolated view and high quality of the tent and service was great. We did feel that the main location/reception near the beach where the restaurant and bar is located was tired and not so clean. The hotel scooter/bike hire we used, both bikes had issues on collection with lights not working properly or flat tyre. We were then told to pop to local garage to get it fix.. (we requested a new bike). The general staff were excellent but some of the management staff almost had a slight attitude. I would recommend this hotel but not the best we came across in Thailand. We would go back on the strength of the hillside tents.

Modern tent with stunning view. Clean and private. Only breakfast can do a lot better.

The Koyao Island Resort offers peace to the weary traveler, wonderful attention to detail and thoughtful and attentive service. I would recommend it to anyone traveling in Thailand who wishes to get off the beaten path of some of the amped up tourist destinations in Thailand and experience life at a slow and lovely pace.

I have been here twice already and I can tell you, this is one of the best spots for couples (and young families too) in South East Asia, hands down. The spa is great, the restaurant offers a wide variety of local and western options as well as the daily fresh fish. They offer a huge range of daily activities which are not to be missed (boat tours, treks, quad, bicycle rides..). And if you want to take it easy, the gardens have chilled hammocks scatered around with enough space to feel very private as the next hammocks will be quite far apart. The room: pure thai luxury. 100% recommended.

Fantastic hotel, breathtaking views and an outstanding customer service from the hotel management (special thanks to Mr.Simon Worrall and his team). We had an issue with our room and his response was a truly 5 stars one. With such great customer service, will definetly come back!!

Their location is so good second to six sense yao noi as they located next to it. They are connected and have access route to go to Six sense yao noi view point which is really great. The hotel is full of nature if you like, but for me there's quite a lot of insects and they had to use bygon (ไบกอน) which made the place full of smoke and not so nice smell.

A warm, welcoming staff, very comfortable, down to earth accommodations, and willingness to go the extra step to deliver great hospitality adds up to a fine establishment. This is a high end place, and for the two days there, it was well worth it.

So relaxing, beautiful view. Complimentary boat tour of surrounding islands, free 15 min massage every morning, weekly free managers cocktail. Rooms are Beautiful. Food is good, you can also take free bikes to other restaurants (Kaya was great). Just all around great!

If you are looking for the real "bounty" experience - this is the place. Absolutely flat sea with no waves. Beautiful, clean, almost private beach. Palms, trees, green grass, excellent maintened of territory. Very good restaurant, it's not cheap, but the food is quality and tasty (if you love it spicy, ask for it). Very comfortable beds. Extremely nice and helpful stuff. They really taking care about you and trying to make your stay pleasant . One day they made complimentary yoga class in the garden, another day it was Management Coctail in the evening, with tasty snacks and coctail, and day after that, they made complimentary half day sightseen trip to the islands, it was amazing. In the last day, they made complimentary 15 minutes, head and neck massage on the beach. Would we be back? Yes, for sure.
