Guest Review: It was just so tranquil and relaxing. The staff were so friendly and the food was so delicious. We had only half board. Huge breakfast and a 2 course dinner. There was never any leftovers. The pools were clean and transparent and with so much green everywhere it was that true tropical feeling.. I definitely recommend, if you need an Escape.
Guest Review: Everything . The location , the property , the staff everything was perfect . Kudos to the hotel team for such an amazing hospitality and making our stay memorable. There are no much words to describe this place . I would definitely come back again .
Guest Review: I liked everything. It is right on the beach, the rooms are large and there was a pool right outside my balcony door. The pool is very large and only about a metre deep so is great for families. The resort allowed 3 x 10 year old Thai boys to use the pool on 2 occasions. (children of my Thai friends on the island). The breakfast was very extensive. Great for early morning and evening beach walks. Koh Yao Yai is one of the lesser known islands, only 30 minutes by speedboat from Bang Rong Pier on Phuket. There is no night life but if you fancy just relaxing this is as good a place as any. The price was well within my budget.
Guest Review: It was simply a dream! We were welcomed so warmly. Simply a piece of paradise! Every morning we were woken up with a very delicious breakfast. It was extraordinary!
