KOH YAO SEA VIEW

Perfect vacation on Koh Yao Noi! Comfortable bungalows, delicious food, white sandy beach, hammocks, pool, beautiful garden, laundry service and scooters etc. Location is amazing, you will notice that many of the other resorts are on 'the wrong side' of the road, this one is straight on the beach. Really easy to get to if you arrive from Thalane Pier (the cheapest connection to the Thalane Pier is from Krabi Town). We stayed five nights, first three nights in a bungalow with sea view and fan (loved it!) and then two nights in a bungalow with pool view and fan. Both were very nice, but we loved the first one and we spend hours sitting on our terrace enjoying the sea view. Just make sure that you have enough time to explore the beautiful island. Our recommendations: great coffee at Coffee Break, delicious pad thai omelette at Garden Café, relaxing massage at Thanakha Massage and beautiful sunset at Goodview Restaurant. If you are a skilled driver, visit Hide Out and Rice Paddy for nice views. Our only regret is that we should have stayed longer!…

The nicest people I've ever met

I think the place is great. My boyfriend and I had a bungalow close to the beach, with air conditioning and a fridge. The door couldn't close very well, but besides that the bungalow was perfect for us. The restaurant of Seaview had delicious and cheap food, which is very nice if you want to get breakfast soon after you wake. They have a breakfast menu, but you can always ask for the main menu, that includes more Thai food. Once I asked for dessert, and the reaction was that they didn't have desserts, but that I could get a fruit plate if I wanted. A bit later, we got the fruit, and people at another table did also. In the end we did not have to pay for it, and many other times we came there to eat, we would get it again, "on the house". It is a real family business, with two persons being able to speak English (of which a girl of 10!). The parents can't, but are very kind. The mother gave us some great Thai food for free a few times, just because she had it. It was sad that it often was low tide, which meant a walk through a bit of mud to get to the water. Unfortunately, my boyfriend stepped into a jellyfish, which became the reason we haven't swum that much. Overall, it was a very nice and quiet place, to which I would definitely go back if I go to Thailand again…

Great stay!

The place was clean, the price is really good and the food from their restaurant is awesome (among the best food I had in Thailand). The portions are very generous! The bungalows are located in a very quiet area, it is perfect for relaxing. They can rent bicycle, kayak and motorcycle for a good price. Located next to a beautiful and quiet beach. The family who own the place is very nice!

Beautiful and relaxing

It is a great cosy hotel, which is actually a set of bungalows. We stayed at a bungalow with a fan and never regretted it. We could sleep with the open windows as they have mosquito nets. The best thing about this place is its staff (the owners, I guess); they were very kind and always eager to help. I cannot say that the beach is the best on the island, because even at high tide the sea still was too shallow to swim, so we had to find better beaches to swim, which is not a problem at all. We rented a motorbike from the hotel and went to Pasai Beach area. That one is also good for swimming in high tides only. The location of the hotel is very nice - it is not directly on the road, but at the same time, it is not too far. One of the island piers is 500m away and there is a nice seafood restaurant there. The food at the hotel reatsurant was good and cheap. We didn't have breakfast there, but as for dinners, they cook one of the best Tom Kha's I've ever tried in Thailand. They also have a sort of private garden and there are Papaya trees betwenn the bungalows, so they picked up the fruit daily and sometimes just gave some fruit to us . It was sooo nice!! All in all, I would stronly recommend this place to other travellers.…

This was one the nicest places we stayed in Thailand. We paid a bit extra To have sea view and found this really worth it as we had a wonderful view as soon as we woke up. The family is very nice, and though their English is very basic they do all that is possible to get you what you need. They are quite shy, so you will have to invest a bit in the relation ship. On site there is a great restaurant, scooters to rent and they also arrange for bikes, they have canoes, etc. About 5 minutes' walk from there you have other restaurants to the left and right and massages as well. Our best massage was here. Next door hotel has yoga classes - expensive, 600 bath per person. To get to sea view bungakows you must take a "taxi" from the pier, there is no other way, and it is fixed price, no point arguing about it. 100 bath per person. We rented a kayak and went paddling by ourselves and it was wonderful. We saw dozens of monkeys, blizzards and birds. The down side of the island is the mud in low tide. The down side of this bungalows is that you must walk for at least 200 MTS into the ocean to get water above your knees... In low tide, forget it. But we found a great beach just 5 minutes away by scooter, 20 minutes walking or 5 minutes adventure walking. For first 2 options leave the hotel, turn left and follow the road until ATM. There turn left direction 6 senses hotel. For the adventurous walk just follow along the beach and coastline and you will get there. You have to go over some rocks, need shoes.…
