An Unforgettable Stay – A Living Masterpiece.
Absolutely breathtaking. From the moment we arrived, we were transported into what feels like a living work of art. The hand-carved wooden architecture is unlike anything I’ve ever seen — every beam, doorway, and sculpture tells a story. It’s not just accommodation; it’s an immersive experience in craftsmanship and design that left us genuinely speechless.
We stayed in one of the large pool villas, and I can’t recommend it enough — it’s completely...

Fantastic view from main pool area and restaurant. Great with the big family sized sun beds for keeping little one between us to play and enjoy the view. Good food in restaurant although a bit expensive. Rented scooter from place just outside resort to see more of the island - highly recommended. Nice to be able to go on tours from beach just in front of hotel.

23 hours travel to a place you hope will be ok? Well, it was and better. A very warm and friendly welcome, nothing was too much trouble for the always smiling and friendly staff. Beautiful room with a large infinity pool outside the bedroom doors and a view across to the far islands.

What a wonderful stay! They were so accommodating the activists, food and everything they offered was top tier. We travel a lot and this has been one of the best stays we have had throughout the 14 countries we have gone this year.

Staff are wonderful, food superb and the location is just amazing. Each villa is no more than 20 metres from the beach. You wake up to the sound of the sea and you villa is structured in a way that means the first thing you see when you open your curtains is the beautiful clear ocean.
The pump wifi everywhere (even on the beach) and there's rocks a lagoons to explore too.
Night time is beautiful with a perfect meal by the sea!
Loved it and glad I went!!

The hotel is right on the beach and it was perfect. The pool area is lovely and features a little and large slide. The bedrooms and bathroom were spacious and stocked with toiletries. We had a lovely stay.

The staff and accommodation were fabulous. The beach peaceful and tranquil. The sea just the right temperature. Would thoroughly recommend a stay here. Even has a little street with shops and restaurants. Although the best place to eat is mamas seafood restaurant on the beach. Had a lovely time couldn’t find any faults. Thank you for an amazing stay of six nights. Jackie Stevens xx❤️

Loved this hotel. I'd call it hip chic. Room was small but that didn't bother us.
It's in a great location so we were able to walk everywhere.
Don't book a taxi through the hotel. They charge you extra. Easy to find a taxi right outside.

The hotel is very nice and clean, and well located in Patpong. Breakfast is varied fresh and delicious, all employees are very nice welcoming and helpful!! Every request is immediately responded. The pool on the roof is very nice and cool. We also had dinner at the restaurant. There’s also a bar restaurant with live music which is really nice!!

About 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.
