5 Stars Hotels in Ko Yao

"We are on day 20 of a 30 day Asian vacation and fortunate to have the Amari for 7 of those days. Upgrade to the club level. It’s worth the extra money. The pool that is shown in the marketing is the club pool and only available if you upgrade. There are two other pools but neither of them are as nice as the club level pool. There is a happy hour every day with free food and drinks. In addition, there is a private gym and restaurant, only for club level members. The rooms are thoughtfully designed with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. Don’t worry about the buggies and getting around the property, we never waited more than a few minutes to get up and down the hill. For the money, the Amari is a home run. Luxury at the fraction of the cost in a similar property in the US. It’s a short walk in to town, or take a tuk-tuk for $6. There was always one waiting at the lobby. There are two other pools, an amazing Italian restaurant and room service was great. The people working here bend over backward to make sure everything is just right. Thank you Amari!"

"3rd time stayed at Banyan Tree in the Doublepool Villa. The previous 2 times we faced the golf course which I felt was much better. Next time I would prefer to have the Doublepool villa facing the golf course."

"Location on Kata Noi made for a relaxing stay. Mostly families, couples and singles, so no loud beach crowd. The beach was powdery white sand, the water inviting with 2 no-boat areas sectioned off for swimmers. Quite an array for the complimentary breakfast. Staff easily assisted with day trips and activities. Housekeeping staff is the best, making sure guests have everything they need. In addition to a gorgeous beach, there are a number of pools. Recommended!"

"The staff make this hotel. Excellent service throughout our stay. "

"The SAII village was a 2 night stay as part of our honeymoon trip to Phi Phi. On arrival, we had our luggage taken care of, sat in reception with a fresh pineapple juice drink and a cold towel (lovely after the boat ride over). From here we checked in and a member of staff sat with us in the lobby and explained where everything is, got us to download the SAII village app on our phones (which is amazing, allows you to do everything via the app, ordering fresh towels, room service and even ordering a buggy to take you around). We then got taken to our room via a buggy and showed around our room. The room was a Deluxe Garden King Villa, the cool air-con was heaven, the room and shower facilities were great! The resort itself is easily walkable, the pools are more than big enough and plenty of loungers either around the pool or facing the beach for most of the day. The food was amazing on-site too, probably more pricier than anywhere we’ve been currently (expected). We had the most amazing 2 nights here and the staff were so polite and friendly. We got the SAII Village boat (which was arranged for us) back to Tonsai Pier to catch our Ferry back to Phuket. Would highly recommend this place and me and my wife have already spoke about returning."
