We specifically chose this hotel as it is on a quiet island away from the craziness of Phuket & Koh Samui. We were not disappointed. Hotel transfers were efficient (taxi & long tail boat). Staff at the hotel were friendly & willing. We especially liked Sami, one of the cooks! Really friendly & funny & makes a mean pancake at... More

stayed three nights in April 2012. Recommendable for couples or family. Appreciated it had only 18 rooms, which gives a personal atmosphere. A real alternative to mass-tourism in Phuket. No room keys are handed out and they are not really necessary either. Tip: Excursion by long tail boat for Kayaking and to explore the Phang Nga delta. Visit James Bond... More

With two infinity pools reflecting the amazing rock formations of Phang Nga, with a few bungalows and cabins spread out so that every bedroom has the same stunning view, and with a friendly straff all is set for the most relaxing vacation spot.

My wife, our 8-yo daughter and I spent 5 nights in a "panorama villa" (those equipped with A/C) in April 2012. Overall a very pleasant experience but the extraordinary location on the Ko Yao remote island could deserve a higher standard. In summary, the location, view, atmosphere are outstanding and deserve 5 stars. The villas are nicely equipped and spread... More

This is a lovely place! First of all, the island itself- it is a very beautiful island, but the beach in the resort is probably the best on the whole island. And we had seen a lot. I am sure the beach in Koh Yao Island resort is also much better compared to the other neighbouring luxury resort- there is... More

We had a beachfront bangalow which was very nice as it was so close to the beach that we woke up with the beach view in front of us.We went for a fishing trip (a... More
