Top Ko Yao Yai Hotel Reviews
Princess Kamala Beachfront Hotel
"The only drawback is there is no microwave"
Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort & Spa - Up to THB 3,000 Resort Credit per Night , Mandatory Shared Speedboat from Ao Po Grand Marina, Phuket
"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!"
Amatara Welleisure Resort
"Service was excellent. The Breakfast was amazing."
Diamond Cliff Resort & Spa, Patong Beach
"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."
SAii Phi Phi Island Village
"The language barrier keeps being a downfall as it struggles to meet expectations with communication and clarity regarding your entitlements. One example of this was when we had paid for dinner as an inclusion but yet we were charged extra for food we were told was included."
Hotel Riu Palace Phuket - All Inclusive
"Impeccable accommodations, courteous staff, full amenities, fun activities, live American music. Close to the airport, and staff assisted me with using Bolt, the rideshare app that was so much cheaper than taxis."
Panan Krabi Resort
"Resort is very nice. Our room was fine. We had a cliff view room that backed onto construction and then a cliff. Construction made it that we didn’t use our balcony once due to noise and dust. Breakfast buffet was decent but nothing exciting. It is 350 thb per person. Good walkable location. Front staff very pleasant and helpful. Too many notifications from their must download app."
Sand Sea Resort
"Beautiful surroundings and location and pools. Monkeys in the trees. The best breakfast view ever. Only negative is that the hotel doesnt sell alcohol but does let you bring your own to the rooms."
Centara Anda Dhevi Resort and Spa Krabi
"Property is well situated in a great location near the Landmark market area. Plenty of shops and eateries. On site massage spa by famous Let’s Relax. Excellent service and very clean. Room Was comfortable and well maintained. Excellent, friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend."

Pocket Guide: Ko Yao Yai
Ko Yao Yai may be the larger and more populated of Thailand's two Ko Yao islands, but it is still less developed than its neighbour, Ko Yao Noi. Even though over a dozen guesthouses and resorts have now popped up on Ko Yao Yai, farming and fishing still rank far above tourism in the ways the friendly locals earn their living. Rubber plantations, coconut groves, and villages filled with stilted wooden homes are the dominant scenes along the smooth main road.
Don’t MissLike its neighbour, Ko Yao Noi, motorcycling and beach-hopping are Ko Yao Yai's two main attractions.
During low tide, the calm and shallow bays next to most of the island's narrow beaches of white sand turn into mud flats. Loh Paret, a beach on the island's west coast, offers superb swimming all day long and spectacular sunsets. Some beaches also allow snorkelling.
A steep path through a rubber tree plantation between the piers of Klong Hia and Chong Lad leads to the Ko Yao viewpoint, which offers the best views of the entire island. Local operators also offer private mangrove and karst island kayaking excursions. A jet-ski operation has recently been added next to ATV off-roading, agricultural tours, and fishing excursions on Ko Yao Yai's growing list of outdoor activities.
Restaurants and BarsMost Ko Yao Yai eating and drinking opportunities are located in the island's resorts. Aside from a coffee bar which serves Italian and American food, freshly caught seafood and traditional Thai cuisine are the most common menu items. A single liquor store recently opened close to Chong Lad village.
ShoppingThere is only one major shop on the island of Ko Yao Yai, and a handful of other places to shop in neighbouring Ko Yao Noi.
