Top 5-Star Hotels in Koh Yao Yai

There is absolutely nothing negative I could say about this gorgeous place. I left today after a weeks stay, and honestly I’m devastated I couldn’t stay longer haha. It is absolutely heaven on earth. I had a gorgeous villa with a pool. The room was so pretty and was in excellent condition. The restaurants were both excellent with a large range of food. The staff were all so kind and friendly. They were always very willing to help in any way they could. Thank you so much for my stay, I know that I will definitely have to come back again next summer!

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!

99% of the residents on this Koh Yao Yai island are Muslims, and although the hotel's breakfast is not halal, the front desk will help explain this to the kitchen so that as long as you tell your room number, you can enjoy a halal breakfast, which is really nice. Our room was very nice and big, but please remember to apply mosquito repellent oil or spray before going out, otherwise you will invite mosquitoes to enjoy a feast 🤣 We went to a restaurant near the hotel for dinner, and the food outside was completely halal and very delicious. We were unlucky because it was not sunny when we went. I believe that if you go on a sunny day, the view will be more perfect, but it was still good for me.

The package booked by Xiyou can be booked during the National Day without additional charge. The three-night stay includes pier pick-up and drop-off. The transportation is convenient. The airport to the pier takes half an hour by car, and the speedboat takes about half an hour. The hotel has a car to pick up and it takes more than ten minutes to arrive. There is a welcome gift at the lobby. The staff is very friendly. The hotel is very new, with complete facilities. The room is spacious and bright, with a full sea view, and is cleaned twice a day. The surrounding ecological environment is good, and there are many ghost crabs on the beach in front of the hotel. It is very close to Hong Island in Krabi from the pier. The hotel has rich vegetation, beautiful environment, and a great swimming pool. The breakfast is complete, the Western restaurant and Japanese cuisine are delicious, and the cocktails can be delivered to the room and the waiter will mix them on the spot. In short, everything is great. I hope I can go again during the holiday next year.

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.

Stayed a week here, beautiful room and our own pool, with a stunning view. Staff here are all excellent cannot do enough for you, breakfast good if not quirky, you’ll find out! Good choice and super fresh. Hired mopeds 300 bhat for 24 hours, you need one to explore the island properly, ate a lot here all the food very good, everything closes down at 9pm, so we went to 7/11 store and got drinks for our patio area of an evening. You can totally unwind here, no late nights on the island, and everyone we came across were just great, super friendly and chilled, Will definitely come back here again 10/10 from us xxxx

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!
