Koh Yao Yai Hotels with Wi-Fi

This is clearly a 5+ star hotel, amazing facility and location. Except for the food in their Buffet, which is jilust ”ok” , all the rest is above and beyond one could expect. We've stayed at their lower cost, non-private pool room, which was very nice, big comfi and with great view to the sea. We defiantly will try to be back to it one day..

A fantastic resort to enjoy and relax. We extended our stay from 2 days to 5 days, that's how much we enjoyed it. There's local restaurants, food stores, local Masjid and a weekday food night market 2 minute walk outside the resort. Everything is Halal too. We made the most out the beach and the swimming pool. There are floats in every swimming for guest to use and canoe boats on the beach. Breakfast was included, it was a bonus to the resort. Every day there was different hot meals available and the food was refilled immediately. Fresh fruit, croissants, toast, fresh coffee was available as well as an egg station. I would highly recommend this resort for families and couples. I will definitely be back when I visit the island again. I am already missing the resort as I write this review.

The room is very big, and the bunk bed is loved by the kids. The breakfast is bad, and there are few proteins except eggs. The kid who is allergic to eggs ate sausage for three days. During the National Day, I wanted to have a lobster buffet to harvest Chinese leeks, but I underestimated the fighting power of Chinese people. The seafood plates were empty from 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock, and basically they were all gone. Moreover, it was not consistent with the pictures. The lobster was not Australian lobster or blue lobster. I don't know what it is. The seafood only has tiger prawns, squid and fish meat, but it costs 1900🐷🙄. It's terrible. The housekeeping is extremely slow. The green light started at 9 o'clock in the morning, but it was not cleaned at 13 o'clock. I called and urged him for an hour, but he didn't come. At 2 o'clock, the kid couldn't hold it anymore. I called and got angry, and someone came to clean the room. I had a spa, the price is comparable to Shanghai five-star hotels, but that's fine. It's not as comfortable as LANN, but that's fine. What's most disappointing is that after the spa, my friend and I wanted to lie down, and after chatting for 5 minutes, he came to urge us to leave! I was really drunk, and we didn't lie there for an hour. Anyway, the overall feeling was not good.

Overall a good stay. Feels like it’s one of the best on the island. If you’re looking for a really quiet town with lots of sun and relaxation, this is it. Resort food leaves something to be desired. There is much better (and cheaper) food up the road within a few steps. Cleanliness is on par with the what I’ve seen elsewhere in Thailand. Would go back!

My partner and I stayed at Koh Yao Yao Village for 3 nights during our travels around Thailand. The hotel is set within lush tropical grounds and has been designed to connect with nature. Whilst the hotel is quite remote, we hired a moped from a place at the end of the hotel drive for 250thb/day which made the island easily accessible. We stayed in a Deluxe Villa which was huge and we couldn’t quite believe this was the lowest standard accommodation on offer. The villa has a spacious outdoor area with loungers, a day bed, and chair, all of which were great for chilling out during the evening. Other aspects we loved about the room was being able to listen to nature whilst using the outdoor shower. The main pool is large and well designed, offering outstanding views across Thale Ko Yao towards Krabi. There is a swim up bar which offers a selection of drinks/cocktails however the service here was on the slower side. Breakfast was generally good, offering a wide variety of both local and international options. We also ate in the main restaurant for dinner on two nights where we found the food to be ok. A few reasons why I’ve rated this hotel 4/5: 1 - whilst I think the design of the hotel is timeless, some areas are starting to show their age e.g. AC not working on one night (took 3 calls to reception to resolve), bathroom sink plug not working. 2 - The music around the main pool/restaurant started to frustrate us after a day, I feel for people staying here for any longer. It appears the playlist/CD has about 8 songs and these repeat all day and evening. 3 - all food and drinks are subject to a mandatory service charge so the price you see on the menu isn’t the price you pay. I wouldn’t have an issue with this in a restaurant setting or if the service was outstanding however it wasn’t. On top of this, you are then also asked if you’d like to leave a tip (on top of service charge) when you settle each bill.

amazing place combining everything that is best on the island, lots of nature which is everywhere. Beautiful large houses with an amazing view of the pool and the sea. I recommend it to everyone who wants to relax in an extraordinary quiet place, we will definitely come back there

Had a fabulous last 4 nights here to end our 6 weeks stay touring Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. We booked it looking for a relaxing chilled out beach stay and that's exactly what we had. Great welcome when we arrived, we booked a sea view pool villa which had everything that we needed. Stunning sunset views from the Tiki bar at happy hour then onto the restaurant for some great Thai food. There is a shop and restaurant just outside the resort as well. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely would come back to this excellent little jem.

According to Google the Thiwson Beach Resort is a 4 star resort, by definition this means it needs to offer a deluxe guest experience with a wide range of facilities, superior design qualities and excellent service. Based on this definition I felt it fell short of the mark and is a 3 star hotel at best, having said that, I absolutely loved it hence the high rating. At the time of writing #kohyaoyai only has a handful of resorts and guesthouses to choose from, i researched them carefully, my essentials being air conditioning & swimming pool in the mid range price bracket, my wish list being a characterful locally owned property on a beach. With the @thiwsonbeach I struck gold. This unpolished gem offered everything on my wish list plus more. Owned by a local family, three generations of whom regularly join the guests for dinner in the open air restaurant which serves very tasty reasonable priced Thai food and great chicken nuggets to the delight of my toddler (albeit they were out of fries for the duration of our stay!). Beside this are the beachfront huts are in prime position with their own outdoor jacuzzi, it’s no wonder they book up so far in advance. There are facilities on site to hire scooters or book tours to explore the island and two lovely pool areas. I was initially disappointed with the hilltop location of our own bungalow which are actually across the road from the others, but the quiet semi private pool area in front of our large veranda anf the sunrise view through the frangipani trees buckled my reservations. Our family suite was made up of 2 interconnecting rooms, including an extra bed charge charge & 3% credit card levy cost us €150 per night. The resort isn’t perfect, there are holes in the concrete (my little girl took a nasty fall in one) & bugs in the rooms (to the delight of my 9 year old boy), there is no room service and while there is sand the sea is separated from the resort with a concrete flood barrier & is extremely tidal so not ideal for swimming but for me character trumps perfection every time so I would return again in a heartbeat💖

This place is absolutely amazing! The staff are so Nice and helpful, and the place is beautiful! The hotel is located on the beach, wich is so pretty. This place also has two amazing swimmingpools, the best seaview and an amazing resturant with great food. We had the best stay ever, and will definetly come back!

Such a lovely place, such a lovely face! Can see amazing sunrise from the terrace, nice garden, private beach, terrific services, hospitable owner, wonderful 3 days spent there. Will come back again! PS: the hotel owner provides car pickup and delivery services, they make sure your boat has arrived before they leave the dock.
