Koh Yao Hotels with balcony

This accommodation is set in the middle of a lush, jungle-like environment, offering a very peaceful and private atmosphere. The sound of running water adds to the calm setting in the common areas, and there are small touches like fish you can feed and hornbills you can observe, which make the experience feel special and connected to nature. Sin is a kind and helpful host with a warm personality and a good sense of humour, which makes the stay even more enjoyable. The traditional Thai breakfast is delicious, as well as the fruits, especially the fresh mango. There is also a large 15m infinity pool with a beautiful view, which is a great place to relax and take in the surroundings. Overall, a calm and well-kept luxurious place, ideal if you are looking to disconnect and enjoy nature.

Our room was absolutely gorgeous, really spacious and spotlessly clean. The jacuzzi bath was fabulous and the view from the resort was magical. The food in the restaurant was OK, there are other cheaper and tastier restaurants within walking distance though. We hired a bike for the day which was hassle free and cheaper than the rental place next door. The pool area was beautiful and we even saw a couple of water monitor lizards. The owner and staff are super friendly and helpful, I would 100% recommend this place to anyone who wants a quiet, relaxed and authentic Thai island experience.

We spent a few fantastic days at Secret Garden Homestay and we can fully recommend this place! Everything was at the highest level – from the wonderful atmosphere, through comfortable accommodation, to the hospitality of the hosts. The hotel is located in a quiet green area, which makes you really relax and feel the island's climate. The rooms are clean, spacious and very climate-friendly, and the proximity of the forest adds this unique charm to the place. The biggest assets of Secret Garden Homestay are, however, – hosts hearty, helpful and always smiley.They were happy to advise us what was worth seeing at Koh Yao Yai, helped in the transportation organization and made sure that we didn't miss anything. This is a place with the soul we would love to return to. If you are looking for a quiet corner in the surrounding nature, Secret Garden Homestay is the perfect choice!

This hotel exceeded all expectations. The staff were exceptionally accommodating, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. Each morning began with a varied and delicious breakfast, and the free daily activities added extra value and enjoyment to our stay. The views were stunning, the amenities were spotless, and the atmosphere was serene. We only wish we could have stayed longer—definitely planning to return!

I visited over a weekend with my wife and three daughters. We booked a family beach villa and had a beautiful stay. Please note, that for those who are sensitive to mosquitoes, the rooms are infested with them. The property does their best in providing repellents of different types but good to know ahead of time. Also, to note, the family villa is one large open room with two king beds; perfect for families with small kids but not for two couples. The property’s access to the beach is ideal. We experienced the complimentary kayaking, and our long boat ride came to pick us up right off the private beach. The gardens, the swimming pool (1.2mtr), and the beach access makes It ideal for families with young children.

Simply Magical! This resort is an ethereal slice of paradise in the middle of the sea. Limestone cliffs and islands strewn across the turquoise backdrop of a pristine white-sand beach, topped only by the 5 - star service you receive from the very first moment of contact during transport to Koh Yao Noi. The child-free atmosphere is peaceful and quiet enough to enjoy the music of the island's natural wildlife. Then theres the villas. We stayed in a treehouse villa, and my only complaint is that they did not force me to book more nights. The 2- story treehouse catered to my inner child and gave it the biggest, most luxurious hug it has ever felt. We will be back, and it will undoubtedly be for much longer next time.

Pros: Excellent beachfront location with beautiful views. Guests can walk down to explore marine life and mangrove forests at low tide. The bungalows offer high privacy. The layout of the accommodation is interesting, with handcrafted details in the decor, providing a sense of tranquility and closeness to nature. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, the linens are of good quality, the air conditioning is new and cool, and there is a smart TV. The bathroom has separate toilet and shower areas. The swimming pool is located next to the beach. Cons: The hotel is far from the main pier, requiring a 25-minute motorbike ride. Restaurants around the hotel are quite difficult to find. During the stay, there was only 1 staff member providing service. The cafe in front of the hotel was closed. The hotel restaurant has a limited menu and a 1-hour wait for food. Facilities such as the beach bar were in a state of disrepair. Many rooms were closed and in a state of disrepair.

I recently stayed at Niramaya Villa & Wellness, and it was a fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly kind and friendly, always ready to assist with booking boat trips and providing useful information about the island. The room we stayed in was huge, offering plenty of space for families with kids, which made our stay comfortable. One of the highlights was the private pool in our villa, complete with an outdoor shower—such a luxury! Despite the premium feel of the villa, the price was very reasonable. This combination of luxury and affordability makes me want to return again in the future.

Overall good, clean and luxurious, especially if you want isolation and luxury, although too many people. But our bathroom door was blocked from inside, shower drain was blocked and shower flooded. Massage price is too high (5000 baht + 1000 tax), which is 15-10 times more than street price. Food is not that expensive but no local delicacies like shell fish or sato beans. Very good park and beach, nice staff and fast service, except for golf carts at peak time.

We had a fantastic time for a couple of nights. We were picked up at the speedboat pier, luggage brought for us to the hotel room, greeted with a welcome drink even before checking in, and able to enjoy the remote location and quiet vibe of the hotel. The swimming pool offers a great view, and was rarely in use. This is a very well run, newly built, clean and well serviced hotel. We did not experience any resort activities, nor were we offered any. We hired a scooter for a day, directly at the hotel, at the cost of 300baht. This was a fantastic way to go exploring! Food at the restaurant was very good, although not necessarily fine dining by western standards. Occasionally, some dishes would be unavailable due to missing ingredients, such as avocados - but I guess that is how it is to live on an island!  Otherwise a fantastic stay, with staff that really try their hardest for you. It was lovely.
