"Very close to beach and vibrant place"
Hotel Riu Palace Phuket - All Inclusive
"I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Riu Phuket. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help whenever I needed anything. I found the hotel to be very clean and well maintained, and I really enjoyed the variety of food available. I was a little worried about the rain during my stay, but thankfully it didn’t stop me from enjoying my holiday. I had a great time and really enjoyed my experience at the hotel. Overall, I had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend Hotel Riu Phuket. Thank you to all the staff for making my holiday so enjoyable! 🌴😊"
Courtyard by Marriott Phuket, Patong Beach Resort
"Hotel was very clean, rooms were big and spacious. The staff were helpful and respectful, allowed me to check in early and check out late. Very happy with this hotel, location is perfect right near the beach, convenience stores and many restaurants. Very happy with this hotel. The only comment I will leave for the hotel is why is the snooker table in that position? My son fell off the step next too it and i am sure he wont he the last to do it, have a look where it is."

Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort & Spa - Up to THB 3,000 Resort Credit per Night , Mandatory Shared Speedboat from Ao Po Grand Marina, Phuket
"The place is just amazing. We stayed only one night but it's worth for several nights to enjoy all the amenities and the offerings. Staff was super helpful. The rooms was very spacious, clean, with an amazing ocean view. The value for money is terrific."
Grand Mercure Phuket Patong
"I love the way where the staff recognized I'm a regular and bought me a beer when i check in. Feels good to be back!"
Kora Beach Resort Phuket
"The room we had was perfect for us and my 2 kids. The property was great. The beach however was not really accessible because of high tides and rough waters. Also, the property has the ability to make more of the night life but chose not to. The roof top is really nice and it’s being wasted by not having any entertainment. The resort was nice and I would definitely stay there again."
Phuket Graceland Resort And Spa
"Great location. Lovely staff"

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.
