Koh Yao Yai Hillside Resort

Beautiful little resort. The rooms are clean and the private pool is such a great addition. The beaches are very shallow and have mangrove sand so to have your own pool to relax in is lovely.

The service at this resort is amazing! All of the staff were so friendly and accommodating.
Laundry service is very reasonable (price per kilo rather than most other resorts that do price per item!).

The food is also amazing. A little more expensive than you might get at a local restaurant but the portions and flavour were amazing so worth it. And it comes with a beautiful view. Oh and the Brownie is worth it!

Loved our stay here!

Rooms and service is top notch and food was so tasty. They had paid full attention to every details in the room like they even have small sewing kit. So thoughtful. We had delightful stay at the hotel.

The absolute best place we stayed in when visiting Thailand, the room and infinity pool were beautiful, the staff couldn't do enough for you and it was just such a lovely place to stay.
We were here on our second honeymoon and couldn't have asked for better.
There is a restaurant across the road, really close to the beach and they also have their own menu which we sampled a few times.
Breakfast was the best we had in three weeks of traveling.
Bike hire, book corner, laundry service all added to the experience.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at this resort. The property was beautiful, offering both comfort and a romantic ambiance. A heartfelt thank you to the staff and the owner for going above and beyond to make our holiday so special. Their hospitality and attention to detail made us feel truly happy. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway. Looking forward to visiting again!

One of the most beautiful properties I have been to. It is a bit far away from the ferry port hence the rental scooter is a must. Following Google maps navigation was a bit of an issue but once we reached the property it was an absolute sight to behold.
The receptionist was very helpful and offered us welcome drinks and a wet towel. Once we entered our room we were spellbound , the room was spacious with air conditioning, a huge king size bed, the bathroom was even bigger with a bathtub, the private pool was literally huge.
The breakfast spread was mouth watering with a selection of various dishes that could be ordered. We had a scrumptious and hearty meal.
There is just nothing that I didn't like and it was as perfect as it can be just like a fairytale. Whenever the opportunity arises, we would love to come back again. Great hospitality and a truly hidden gem.

This is a hidden gem! The rooms are new, comfortable sofa bed & mattress. The attention to detail for a simple place like this is a pleasant surprise. We got the rooms with a private pool and though you can start to see some wear and tear on the pool (some tiles were missing) everything else was perfect! Loved they provided a separate outside shower to rinse before you step back into the room. Everything was clean and the items provided in the showers are all complete. Staff were friendly, breakfast selection was also decent & appropriate to the price you pay to stay here. Great value for money! A nice view of the sea and just steps away from the beach ahead though note there are other nicer beaches around this island if you want to hang out and get a tan as this beach is a little rocky.

This is the best hotel you can stay at on the island!! The women who work here are SO kind. The food is unbelievable and very well priced. Incredible service!! The pool room is a must. Scooters are SO worth in

Would definitely recommend. The rooms were spacious. We got the one directly facing the sea opposite the road. The staff is kind. Our pickup for the ferry arrived a little earlier than expected while we were having our breakfast, but the staff made sure to pack us whatever we needed. You can also rent a bike directly from them. So no need to hunt for bike somewhere else.

Nice hotel! Having a private pool is the BEST EXPERIENCE EVER. 👌 After super hot days exploring around and even going to the beaches, we just wanted to go back to our room and get into this private pool with clean and nice water. The location is not far from the pier. Breakfast was good and fresh. They have a buffet but also a small paper slip to select breakfast to be cooked upon request, fresh and included. We booked for one night but decided to extend after we got there. The reception lady was able to accommodate us to another room since the first room had a reservation already for the second night. They made it possible for us to move our bags on the second day in the morning, so we didn't need to be outside waiting until checking in time on the second day. All rooms have different characteristics, the Oceanview room was nice, but we rather the privacy of "non-oceanview" room (the pictures of my husband are in the pool of non-ocean view room, you can still see the ocean, but there are some trees there😉).

I recommend arranging a rental bike before your arrival at LEEYA Bike rental and paying her to deliver your bags to the hotel. It is cheaper than getting a taxi to the hotel and renting a bike later. Taxi cost 300 baht per 2 people and the bike costs 250-300 per day.

The resort is on a very steep hill, but rooms are large with lots of cupboard space to unpack. We didn't have a swimming pool at our room, but we could use the pool across the road at a sister resort and that was one of the most beautiful places so far on our trip. The food is good and service is great. We were on the best side of the island for wind - the other side had lots of wind, but we didn't have any. The resort is on the main road so can be noisy and we could hear the neighbours on their deck, which was annoying.
