Koh Yao Yai Village

We booked the beach villa before we realized there was a luxury resort that was cheaper on the island. This particular island doesn’t always have a beach as the water recedes, defeating most of the purpose of booking a place close to the water. We paid almost twice as much for this place as we did the gorgeous luxury resort 20 minutes away. It is very rustic and isolated and any attempt to order transportation was at least double the cost a taxi would charge you directly. They wanted to charge us $26 to go 20 minutes down the road to our next hotel. It’s a lovely property, but super rustic, and we didn’t love the weedeaters in the morning outside of the villas, waking us up. The villa itself, inside, was lovely. There’s not really any swimming that can be done here, and it’s extremely isolated so you will definitely need a car or scooter. We had a long holiday and stayed in about 10 hotels on four different islands and this was by far the most expensive, overpriced place, $384 for a beach villa. They were helpful in helping us arrange transportation to their property.

Its very luxurious ,very nice infinity pool,excellent breakfast,marvelous view

Our bungalow was up the hill in the forest,i hate to walk and climb so far, to take a swim needed planning and effort. Or you call the reception to pick you up

Spectacular location at the sea front for the pool and main restaurant. The villas are a bit behind in the nice garden/forest. Transfer from Restaurant to villas by free golf caddies on request. Rooms ar spacious with great terrace each. This is a very good place to relax.

I did not enjoy the way to be almost forced to take hotel services for transfers at much too high rates! Just be careful and organice better by yourselves. To enforce guests to book hotel services, they ban outside taxies to come to the lobby for pick-up (this is important for departing guests)! Just ask for the free golf car service to bring you to the hotel gate.
