Koh Yao Yai Hillside Resort

Stayed here a week and could have stayed longer, absolutely loved it. The Villa was perfect, we had a Villa on the back row, firstly the views were to die for and secondly it was great to see all the different wildlife and hear all the different noises from the trees behind it! The Villa had everything you needed and having your own pool was amazing. The grounds, villas and pools were well maintained. The staff were outstanding, so kind and helpful - the staff made it extra special. The food was absolutely amazing had breakfast most days and ate in the restaurant a number of times and each time the food was outstanding - a great chef and great staff. Could not fault this place.

The room came with its own infinity pool, with amazing views of the sea. There were lots of little touches many hotels don't provide such as mosquito repellent candles and plug in adapters, they also provided mosquito body lotion to add at the end of the day. There was an outdoor and indoor shower and a fan as well as air conditioning for you to choose from. The staff where amazing, so friendly and helpful, the island is very secluded and not a lot going on so we hired a motorbike from them and they ran through how to use it as we gained our confidence. At breakfast you where offered a list of how to have your eggs and the choice of food was the best we had from the 5 hotels we visited, they also offered drinks/ snacks and had an evening & lunchtime menu with smoothies and iced drinks also available. Laundry service also provided at a small additional cost. This is a lovely place to visit as a couple or with family and I would highly recommend.

Location was fantastic and staff were adorable and so helpful in the most part. Mimi in particular could not do enough to make our stay wonderful and reception staff were so happy and willing to order taxis and book transport for us etc. The accommodation was fantastic - clean, spacious, private, anaxing views - what’s not to like?! Evening meals in the restaurant were tasty and plentiful.

Staying in the villa with a private pool was an absolutely awesome experience. The room was fantastic, offering a sublime view of the sea that took our breath away. The private infinity pool created unforgettable memories—it was the perfect spot to relax and soak in the beauty of the surroundings. The staff was exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay special. They even helped transport our luggage to our next hotel on the island—something I’ve never experienced before. It was such a thoughtful gesture. The hotel also provides the convenience of renting motorbikes directly on-site, which made exploring the area incredibly easy. The breakfast was another highlight—very varied and delicious, with a great selection of both hot and savory/sweet options to satisfy every taste. A huge thank you to the team for making our stay so special. This was truly a memorable experience, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect getaway.

Beautiful place in a land of beauty. We stayed in a lodge without a pool, big, airy, clean, and characterful. The staff throughout are pleasant, friendly, and extremely helpful without being overpowering or pushy. It's a very quiet island but only a short trip to the usual madness if you need that fix. The food in the restaurant was excellent too with a fair range at reasonable prices. Can't fault this place at all and would recommend it to friends straight away. A very beautiful lodge with everything you need in it, including a spa bath, they also let us stay in our room until 3pm at no extra costs until we went for the ferry. Thank you so much for a truly magical stay here.
