"We spent a weekend at the Rayavadee with friends. Staying here is probably one of the most unique experiences you will have. Right from the unique boat transfer (yes it’s on an island, which for some reason wasn’t too clear whilst booking the rooms). Won’t divulge details of the boat transfer! The welcome was exceptional and the property is super quiet and beautiful. The rooms are duplex chalets (again a pleasant surprise as it didn’t seem to be clear enough in the posting). Super luxurious rooms surrounded by the most lush forest like cover with enough windows. It will come as a huge surprise that this property is 39 yrs old as everything in here is super modern and up to date. The bed needs a special mention. Again one of the largest we have ever slept on. An entire family of two adults and two young children could sleep on one bed. It’s way bigger than a King size. The Grotto is a unique dining experience although you not only have to confirm well In advance but also tell them what you will eat at least one day prior. If not, they will turn you away as they only prepare what you said you will eat. And be ready to pay for the most expensive dinner you have had in a long time. But worth every penny as unlikely you will get another setting quite like this one. Overall food isn’t top class at any of the restaurants but that I will leave for you to judge. We are not foodies so we don’t mind.. This is a place we would definitely want to return. Memorable! "

"This resort is exceptional! Conveniently located in the strip and walking distance of the beach! Highly recommended! "

"Wonderful people. Wonderful place. Definitely would recommend "

"Our stay at Santhiya Koh Yao Yai Resort & Spa was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, everything felt calm, welcoming, and wonderfully unique. The resort perfectly blends luxury with nature, offering breathtaking ocean views, beautifully crafted wooden architecture, and a sense of peace that’s hard to find elsewhere. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely caring, making sure every detail was taken care of throughout our stay. The rooms were spacious and elegant, the food was delicious, and the overall atmosphere was incredibly relaxing. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway, a family retreat, or simply time to unwind, Santhiya Koh Yao Yai is the perfect choice. We left with beautiful memories and can’t wait to return to this tropical paradise. 🌺 "
