Independent hotels in Ao Yai

"Just Amazing. Beautiful resort and beach. Good food. Lovely staff. 100% will return here. Stunning island, great snorkeling. Very comfortable clean rooms."

"Was our first time to the island and we were very glad we chose Santhiya. Staff was very attentive and the property was beautiful. It was rainy season, so swimming at the beach was not possible, but the pools were very nice. We stayed in a garden bungalow and it was very nice. Would highly recommend."

"Amazing stay on stunning grounds. They have a cable car to take you from top to bottom. My only complaint is you’re not allowed to have your own water bottle in restaurants. Seems like the opposite of what places should be encouraging today!"

"I enjoyed four nights in a bungalow on the front line of Kae Bae beach. The accommodation was very comfortable and it was such a pleasure to look directly out to the beach and water from the front door. And there was a lovely porch there to sit on and enjoy the scenery. In addition, the entire staff was very friendly and helpful. The town area is just a 6-7 minute walk away, but a concierge was available to take me in a cart. Lots of dining and massage options in the town area. Overall, I had a great stay and will hope to return one day…"

"Wonderful restaurant and cute bungalows. AC worked, and the pillows were comfy. We really enjoyed our stay."

"โรงแรมใหม่และดูสะอาด อาหารเช้าดีมาก พนักงานดูแลและยิ้มแย้ม"

"The hotel was right next to the beach with the ability to kayak to other islands directly opposite. The hotel staffs were very friendly and spoke fluent English. There are a selection of shops and restaurant within walking distance. The only annoying thing I found is after every housekeeping, mosquitos often find their way into the room."

"We loved the pools and the view from the hotel across the beach and out to sea. The staff were incredibly lovely and the splash pool and slide a hit with the kids. The morning yoga was wonderful the restaurant food was good too. The only downside for us was that the property is in need of some renovation. Broken tiles in beach pool, proves missing their thatching, our outdoor shower was unusable as filthy and in poor condition. The indoor shower was a handheld standing or sitting in bath so not ideal."

"The resort is beautiful and the views from the rooms and pool area are stunning. The service is top notch and the breakfast + drinks were delicious. The beachfront is more aesthetic as it's very rocky, so not the type of beach you can swim in or enter. That being said, it was very cheap and easy to get transport to the other beaches around the island. "
