Top Ko Yao Yai Hotel Reviews
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."
Amatara Welleisure Resort
"Lovely property within close walking distance to quiet seaside town. Although a large property you don't encounter a lot of other guests. Excellent food."
The Senses Resort & Pool Villas, Phuket
"Everything was amazing the staffs friendliness, the amazing views, service was perfection as well me and my fiancé enjoyed our stay will definitely comeback"
Diamond Cliff Resort & Spa, Patong Beach
"The staff provided professional and attentive service. The dining experience was outstanding, complemented by the property's elegant atmosphere. We were very impressed and look forward to returning and would highly recommend."
SAii Laguna Phuket
"Best stay ever and friendliest service"
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."

"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.
