Top Ko Yao Hotel Reviews

Mandarava Resort and Spa Karon Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was good."

Paradox Resort Phuket

8/10 Good

"Pros: Resort & Location: Huge resort with a grand foyer, massive pool, beautiful gardens, and excellent proximity to Karon Beach and local shops/restaurants. Classic Vibe & Well-Maintained: Loved the traditional style with lots of wood and open spaces. You can see they work on maintenance (repainting, updating), which is no small task for a property this size. Staff: Excellent service, attentive and warm. Room: The Paradox Seaview Room was spacious for two and had a lovely outlook over the resort toward the beach. Cons: Initial Room Issue (Room 4022): Had a damp/mold smell that we initially put down to climate as a lot of hotels we’ve stayed in seem to have some mouldy smells in South East Asia , but power trips and heavy rain revealed a leak affecting the room and the electrics. Staff moved us promptly to 4029 for our final night, which was significantly cleaner better and noticeably free from mould smell. If you get room 4022 make sure you check prior to accepting the room. Bar Pricing: Drinks inside the resort are steep compared to local options right outside. A better longer happy hour (e.g. half-price drinks) would have encouraged us to stay onsite for drinks much more often. Breakfast Selection: The buffet is decent, but repetitive over a long stay (we were there 10 nights). Better layout and rotating menu options would be a welcome change."

Chanalai Garden Resort, Kata Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This Resort at Kata Beach was perfect for our group of 6. Close to the beach, restaurants, massage parlors, and shopping. The rooms are big and very clean. The restaurant food buffet is affordable and good. The pool bartender Nott is awesome, friendly and makes a great Pina Colada. Would recommend this Resort to anyone."

Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort & Spa - Up to THB 3,000 Resort Credit per Night , Mandatory Shared Speedboat from Ao Po Grand Marina, Phuket

10/10 Excellent

"Already had high expectations and the resort in person absolutely exceeded them! We had a private villa with ocean view which was spacious and super private. We also ended up getting a spa package that included a 15 min steam room, scrub, and Thai massage which in all was the best I’ve ever had. Was incredible and 10/10!"

Amari Phuket

10/10 Excellent

"This place far exceeded our expectations- the property is amazing and the staff super friendly and helpful. The lobby has the most amazing view over Patong bay. We first stayed in an oceanfront balcony room. The room was clean and spacious and right on the beachfront. There are 2 pools available to use but we noticed the infinity pool in the photos wasn’t available to us as it was for the villas. We decided to upgrade for our last 2 nights and it was so worth it. There is a private little club for the guests and the infinity pool was so nice. The staff were so attentive and we really enjoyed the complimentary happy hour and snacks. It’s out of Patong a little but it’s very easy to get a taxi or grab into town. It’s much nicer staying out of the busy centre of Patong. We also had Dinner at Gritti- I highly recommend it. It’s right on the oceanfront and the food was amazing. We also had the best waiter!"

Diamond Cliff Resort & Spa, Patong Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this resort. We love Thailand. The food was good the room was clean the staff was attentive when need and very kind. They even assist making sure you get across the street safely to go adventure or go to the ocean. Walking distance of 7eleven. We used grab to get around worked great."

Baipho Lifestyle

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful stay at Baipho Lifestyle Hotel. The room was very clean, the breakfast was nice and delicious, and the staff were kind, friendly, and very helpful whenever we had questions. The location is very convenient, within walking distance of Patong Beach and the shopping mall. Highly recommended, I’d happily stay here again!"
