Hotels With Wi-Fi in Phang Nga Province, Thailand

We arrived at the HotSpring Beach Resort at the end of June '23, just a week after a new General Manager had started his new role - something we found out because he was actively meeting and greeting guests and will obviously be a great asset to the resort. He is overseeing a huge number of renovations and upgrades due for completion by the end of 2023 - and so any older reviews that speak of the resort needing some attention will now likely be redundant as the place is undergoing a major - and impressive - facelift. We were thrilled by our spacious room, the fantastic hot spring pools and the excellent contrast of the icy 'chill' pool (a rarity in Thailand, where refreshingly cold water to dip in is not so common). The staff were friendly and courteous throughout, and the grounds all the way to the beach are quite wonderful. Of course, in any transformation there is always something that still needs tweaking. Our two recommendations to the resort would be to enhance the taste and the number of vegetarian options of breakfast, which was generally a little on the bland side (though we ate two a la carte dinners at the resort restaurant which were outsanding and quite delicious). The other recommendation is to keep the beach free of the relentless flow of plastic and other garbage which the sea washes up. Although this is so common everywhere, and certainly not the fault of the resort, the beach gets a daily deposit of bottles and other plastics, and it would be great to see some efforts being made to collect and tidy the beach area as it's not huge, and this would certainly be an hour well-spent. Overall, highly recommended for a stay here - it's a unique place with such relaxing waters and the sense you're in the middle of a tropical forest with secret thermal springs just waiting to be discovered. If you're there in low season of June/Jule like us, then you won't see too many other people around and you can enjoy a lot of peace and quiet. Definitely worth a visit!

I stayed for just one night as I was on my way to Khao Lak and had limited time. My first impression was that the staff were incredibly friendly, from the reception team to the buggy driver. We arrived before the check-in time and planned to wait around, but the staff went out of their way to check us in early. Our room had a stunning sea view, with a porch where we could sit and enjoy the weather and scenery. The bed was comfortable, and the food was decent. I would definitely recommend staying here!

99% of the residents on this Koh Yao Yai island are Muslims, and although the hotel's breakfast is not halal, the front desk will help explain this to the kitchen so that as long as you tell your room number, you can enjoy a halal breakfast, which is really nice. Our room was very nice and big, but please remember to apply mosquito repellent oil or spray before going out, otherwise you will invite mosquitoes to enjoy a feast 🤣 We went to a restaurant near the hotel for dinner, and the food outside was completely halal and very delicious. We were unlucky because it was not sunny when we went. I believe that if you go on a sunny day, the view will be more perfect, but it was still good for me.

Had a wonderful stay at the sands as a family of 3 . Check in was a breeze as we arrived late at night due to a cancelled flight. Room was spacious however I did not like the layout of the room bathroom being very open, bed was comfortable , no issues with cleanliness - however some mosquitoes. Breakfast buffet was ok but very busy chaotic at times , we found it a bit repetitive the food options. Our daughter had the time of life at the pool,slides and playground it kept her busy all day. We enjoyed the swim up bar the cocktails were okay too sugary we enjoyed the happy hours at different bars at the resort we did walk along the beach 2 min walk to hippie fish bar and enjoyed the cocktails there more much better quality I believe happy hr was 6 to 7 there highly recommended good vibe. The gym was well maintained everything you need. We ate dinners at spinach, thenight markets, room service was great as well. We also loved the roti and fried chicken cart . Would only recommend staying here with children not as a couple.

We had so much fun. Found this place. Surrounded by beautiful nature We immersed ourselves in the beauty of the place. and enjoy a variety of activities, such as free bicycles, offered by the property. Incredible waterfall Beautiful big Buddha and golf programs for beginners We will definitely come back. And I highly recommend this place for a great vacation.

The hotel is in an alley. There is little parking, so you have to park on the side of the road. New, clean rooms with complete amenities.

I stayed in a standard room . This spatious , very clean AC-room with kingsize bed has a private bathroom ( with all the ammennities you need ) . Tv with some English spoken channels , a fridge and good Wi-Fi . Outside my room , two chairs and a small table where i could relax after a refreshing jump into the clean swimming pool , which was 5 meters from my frontdoor . The very friendly and helpfull staff cleaned my room everyday . Tasty breakfast ( toast , little club- sandwiches , eggs , coffee , orange juice ,..... ). This resort is very well located near many restaurants and shops . About 15 minutes to walk to beautifull Nang Thong Beach . If you have any question of problem during your stay , just go see MUAY . She will do her very best to make sure you can enjoy your stay and have a relaxing holiday . Thanks Muay 😉

It's a nice hotel, the staff were friendly but only really did the basics, they didn't go out of there way to help. The soundproofing between the rooms is inadequate as I could hear adjacent rooms TV's and flushing toilets. And the room doors let noise into the room. My biggest issue was with the breakfast. Poor choice (for a westerner) and it was all cold, but just warm enough make you wonder about bacteria growing. I wouldn't mind waiting for things to be cooked (at least made hot) and unfortunately the breakfast is the last thing you experience before you leave so it is what leaves a lasting impression for me.

Stayed here from 4th - 11th April recently for a family wedding which took place just up the coast on Natai beach at a villa. We stayed in a beach bungalow which was in the surrounding area to the main hotel complex. My understanding is the hotel have acquired these villas which were part of another complex and recently joined them to the hotel. The outside area was beautiful with gorgeous flowers and plants and cute paths leading straight to the beach. The room was very spacious with great air con and facilities were good - although we did not have a balcony we had sun chairs brought to our room so we could sit outside. Room was cleaned well and fresh towels, tea, coffee and water etc every day. Only downside was the bed which was uncomfortably hard although enormous! Missing in the main room was a mirror but this was fixed when we asked for one - a full length mirror was brought to our room which was a necessity to enable me to style my hair. The hotel pool which backs onto the stunning beach was a gorgeous spot to sit with a lovely breeze from the sea and looked so pretty as sunset drew in with beautiful tree lights. There is one main restaurant where breakfast is served which backs right onto the beach. It was uncomfortably hot inside - could do with fans to make the dining experience more comfortable. As the surrounding area is extremely quiet you need to taxi out to local restaurants, the hotel restaurant menu was quite limited although most of the meals we ate both during lunch and dinner were lovely although a bit repetitive. Breakfast was a good selection of hot and cold food and we enjoyed this very much. There are kayaks, surfboards you can hire from the beach hit by the beach and table tennis/boules also. Pool/beach towels are readily available from here too. In all, a lovely hotel in a stunning location on the most beautiful beach. A great get away from it all hotel for the perfect beach retreat holiday. Would definitely return to this hotel if I was in this area again.

The hotel is Thai style. Every exit from the room requires a shuttle, our room specifically needed 2 shuttles in each direction. I recommend finding out before closing the room, in addition, find out what floor the room is on (our building had 3 floors without an elevator)

We have just moved after been at motive for 1 night the worst night we have ever had at a hotel ever as follows . Last night and this morning - because the walls of this hotel are so thin, my children were subjected to hours of rampant sex cries , moans & skin slapping noises, with the bed banging and squeaking for hours up until 1.30am last night and then again this morning it woke us up at 9am as they were at it again My 9 year old daughter was so uncomfortable with this she was in tears and very confused - the walls are so thin you could hear intimate details , skin slapping and heavy breathing with sex talk , it was embarrassing and scary for both my children we could hear everything through the paper thin walls. It was extremely awkward, very uncomfortable and an unpleasant experience . Just as that stopped last night at 1.30, a noisy family came back to the room on the other side, loud talking, baby crying and they put the TV on at volume- again, because the walls are so thin, there was no escape from it. Finally we managed to fall asleep only to be woken again at 4am by the baby screaming. We tried to talk to 2 different people about it at reception but they just shrugged there’s shoulders didn’t offer to move our room or a refund no help whatsoever . We have tried to raise it with agoda repeatedly but they are not interested and just offered me a £40 credit on our next booking and have still charged us £455 as we left the hotel early and said it’s the hotels policy not there’s even though we paid agoda in full before hand . To top it off the extra bed my son had been given ( which cost £13 a day ) was literally so hard it was like a block of concrete and the blanket had several holes in it. This was a terrible night of sleep as we were trapped in the room between the loud sex and the screaming baby. I understand these things go on in private, but the walls are so thin, you cannot get away from what is going on next door and children (nor adults!) should not have to be subjected to someone else’s intimate sex noises . It meant the holiday had started with a unpleasant experience that made it feel more like torture than a holiday and there is no way I would let my children stay in that environment again ( surely any decent parent would agree with me ? ) . None of us wanted to return to that hotel as things that should be private cannot be private in that hotel because the walls are obviously so thin . On top of this the hotel is in a very poor state and needs to be refurbished throughout . The rooms are dark & dingy and the mattresses are like solid planks . The shower is very poor and makes the whole bathroom wet and the floor like a ice rink . The pool has so much chemicals in it after swimming for half an hour my throat went totally dry and I had trouble swallowing and my sons as well ( we have never had this before at any pool ) - throat was fine as soon as we left the pool . Do not subject yourself to

I stayed for four nights with a good friend. The room was very spacious with a balcony facing the street. As there was a market with a large stage 200m from the hotel that was open from 5pm-11pm, it was a little louder in the evenings (you could easily hear the bass). You couldn't hear the street at all with the doors closed (air conditioning worked well). The bathroom was equipped with a half-open shower and shampoo. We got water and fresh towels every day. The hotel also had a small pool in the back yard that was open until 8pm and was absolutely sufficient. The reception was also open 24 hours. To go on excursions, I recommend renting a scooter 50m away that cost 200 Bhat per day, which makes it easy to get everywhere. I can highly recommend this hotel. I'll be back

We spent 10 nights at JW Marriott Khao Lak for our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect for our needs! An utterly beautiful hotel with clean rooms and facilities and the kindest, most helpful staff I've ever come across in a hotel. Our room was spacious and beautiful, with direct access to the 2.4km pool - this was a great feature and it felt like we had a bit of private pool whilst being able to swim all the way to the main pool. The pool also adds to the feeling that you're in a village community rather than a commercial hotel, as we made friends with our ”neighbours” and would see them from time to time when we were out swimming. The hotel's beach is clean and stunning, the sun beds are thickly padded and comfortable, and we made use of the bodyboarding and kayaking equipment on our stay. The restaurants at the hotel were incredible! The main ones are Ta-Krai (Thai), Sakura (Japanese), and Olive (Italian). Before arriving I was a bit sceptical at how authentic the restaurants would be but the hotel has ensured they've brought in the best chefs who could bring authentic cuisine to Khao Lak. The sushi at Sakura was probably the freshest and tastiest I've ever had (albeit, I've not been to Japan yet, but it's still better than all the London sushi places where we live and even better than Nobu). We loved Olive restaurant too, in particular their Sunset BBQ evening where you're spoilt for choice on meats, seafood, sides, salads, and a full-on Italian cheese and ham bar with really delicious, authentic selections. Chef Enzo there was dishing out cheeses to us and making recommendations what to pair each cheese with and was so helpful (and the cheeses were incredible). We opted for the Breakfast and Dinner package and we're really glad we did as we loved going back to those restaurants over the 10 days. For lunch we'd eat at the hotel cafes, or out at excursions, or at local restaurants adjacent to the hotel, such as Phen's (delicious!). We also bought a spa package at Quan Spa in the hotel and booked in lots of treatments throughout our stay. The spa is beautiful and the massage therapists were excellent; it's a bit pricier than outside the hotel but the spa environment is worth it for that luxe feeling (and still cheaper than in the UK!). Overall, I don't think we found and faults with our stay at JWM and we will definitely come back in the future, perhaps for our anniversaries! And we would highly recommend it to all our family and friends!

Review of Hotel Stay at Hotel Gahn Khao Lak I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Gahn Khao Lak and overall, it was a delightful experience. Here are the pros and cons of my stay: Pros: 1) Hotel Gahn Khao Lak is located in a prime spot, just a short distance away from the main tourist area. This allows for a peaceful and tranquil stay while still being conveniently close to all the attractions. 2) The hotel itself is a beautiful boutique establishment, with a charming ambiance. From the moment you step into the entrance lobby, you are greeted with antique decorations that add a touch of elegance to the surroundings. 3) One of the highlights of this hotel is the Michelin 2022 and 2023 chef who prepares authentic Nonya cuisines. This is a culinary experience not to be missed, and the restaurant is sure to leave your taste buds satisfied. 4) The hotel is surrounded by many amenities and local food options within walking distance. This makes it convenient for guests to explore and indulge in the local flavors. 5) The breakfast at Hotel Gahn Khao Lak is simple yet delicious. It offers a variety of options to suit different preferences, and it's a great way to start your day on a positive note. 6) On a hot day, the hotel's refreshing little pool is a fantastic spot to take a dip and cool off. It provides a relaxing oasis where you can unwind and enjoy the tropical surroundings. 7) The owner and staff of the hotel are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They go above and beyond to ensure that guests have a pleasant stay and are always ready to assist with any queries or requests. Cons: 1) One issue I encountered during my stay was the presence of lizards and flying pests, especially in rooms with balconies. While this may be a common occurrence in tropical settings, it can be unsettling for some guests. 2) The housekeeping service could use some improvement, particularly in terms of towel change and cleaning of used cups. It would be beneficial if these aspects were given more attention to enhance the overall cleanliness of the rooms. Rating: 8.5/10 In conclusion, Hotel Gahn Khao Lak offers a memorable stay with its good location, beautiful ambiance, authentic cuisine, and friendly staff. While there are a few areas that could be improved upon, the overall experience is highly enjoyable. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a unique and charming getaway in Khao Lak.

Stay in this beautiful resort only if you’re ready to be spoilt by the amazing hospitality of their staff. It’s located in the middle of nowhere, but that doesn’t matter as the resort itself has everything you’ll need. We took the all in package. Rooms are luxurious, very clean, very well kept. The resort itself is very well kept, pool, beach, bar, playroom. Very family friendly. Stayed here twice, both during peak (March) and low peak(June), both occasions felt very different, i personally preferred the peak, however one thing that did not change was the hospitality of their amazing staff! A special shout out to Kwan for professionally handling the tantrum of a hungry 35yr old (me). Great selection of food in their restaurants too. And when you need a laugh, Sit@Aon will crack you up. Will always come back.

Ocean Leaf Great hotel, friendly staff, nice room, clean pool and good breakfast. 2 mins walk from a lovely clean Sandy beach. We stayed here for four nights to unwind before our backpacking adventure across Thailand. Do not try and eat within two hundred meters of the hotel if you want a nice and affordable meal, walk up to the main drag. Go Pong is a good choice, but there are lots of others. Check out my trip report on forums or other reviews.

Overall good, a little old but not scary. There is a guard at night. The room still has a problem with the air conditioner dripping late at night. I've been there 2 times already. The price is not expensive. The staff speak well. Convenient parking Not deep into the alley

Все понравилось. Соотношение цена/качество считаю отличным. Кондей в хорошем состоянии, убранство приятное, вид отличный. В кафе был очень вкусный Падтай. В целом меню у когото может вызвать вопросы, но мне было вкусно.

The room was clean and tidy, with a sense of design, and the parking space was a bit tight. One day I stopped at the door of the store on the right. In the morning, people were open and quickly left. They were very friendly and polite. Go out and turn right. There is a 7-11. There are many snacks around the food. It is recommended that the one at the right intersection is relatively large and tastes good.

Overall service was good - Hotel transfer service was reliable (including airport transport and to other attractions). Food was good except for the seafood barbecue buffet dinner (the seafood was not fresh and most dishes were not hot enough). Prices for local tours arranged through the resort were unreasonable higher than average, it’s like doubling/tripling the average price. Some of the restaurant staffs could not understand very simple English which makes ordering difficult. Waiting time for the food was unreasonably long (almost an hour). The staff at the Kids Club was super nice and patient, my son had a great time there making art work. If they could have some scheduled activities with more variety, it would be better. Wi-Fi in our villa was very unstable and the staff could not fix it. When we checked in, there were not enough towels in our villa and toiletries didn’t get refilled. On some days, the staff missed cleaning our villa.

My friend is doing business in Phuket. I went to the hotel several times. I booked this hotel. The breakfast was OK. I recommended fried rice. The fried rice is really delicious. The facilities are quite new, the environment is good, quiet and quiet. The location is a bit biased, it is recommended to rent a car for one night, and then there is a restaurant near the top of the mountain, the ambient air did not have to say.

The place is beautiful The beach is amazing The service is poor. The cuisine is average. We had a romatique dinneron the beach - everything was messed up - the service was long, the food was not good. The hot dishes for breakfast were ridiculus - very small and looking unappetizing. As we understood the main chef is italian, but the only once when we had good meal, it was for lunch. The pasta was amazing and it was cooked by the Thai chef. We have booked a pool suite with ocean view. The room was big, beautiful and clean. The pool was big enough, nice, with jacuzzi. But there was no ocean view at all. The room was very far from the beach. When we asked why we didn't get the room we have paid for, the reply was ”we are fully booked”. No refund was done. The staff doesn't speak English. Not easy to ask or order anything.

Santhiya Resort in Phuket's Natai Beach is a total gem for anyone looking for a chill spot with a mix of chill vibes and Thai luxury. The place is stunning, with cool wooden architecture and a vibe that’s all about relaxation and good times. The real standout for me, though, was the amazing service, especially from Pa at the reception. Losing stuff while traveling is a nightmare, but Pa was a lifesaver. She didn’t just help find my lost items; she went the extra mile to send them to my friends at a different hotel. It’s that kind of above-and-beyond effort that really makes a stay memorable. Aside from awesome people like Pa, Santhiya’s got everything you’d want for a laid-back escape. The spa is a slice of heaven, the gym is top-notch, and the rooms? Pure comfort with stunning surrounding. It’s the kind of place you go to treat yourself, where you feel taken care of and totally at ease. Big shoutout to Pa and everyone at Santhiya for making my stay super special. It’s more than just a resort; it’s a place where you leave feeling better than when you arrived. Totally recommend it if you’re looking to unwind and enjoy some Thai hospitality. Just one negative thing: the food was not great especially if you know what Thailand can offer. I recommend staying in Santhiya but eating outside the hotel. There are plenty of options!

If you are looking for peace and quiet, if you love nature, if you don't need luxury but appreciate good service, then this is the place for you. Actually an insider tip, but the hosts deserve to be talked about and written about. Located in the sparsely populated, rural part of Phang Nga, but still only 30 minutes from Phuket International and 15 minutes from the brand new top golf resort AQUELLA. Great, secluded, clean beaches, the occasional small beach or village restaurants, ideal terrain for cycling. The LANTALA is dreamy in the truest sense of the word. Dream by the large fish pond, live in small villas with bedrooms, mini kitchens, open-air showers - everything very clean and well-kept, breakfast on the private terrace above the water, served by friendly hosts. Pure relaxation. If you arrive by taxi, you don't need a car on site - beaches, restaurants, shops, etc. can be reached by bicycle. Taxi service is available for longer distances. Lanta, the boss, is a charming hostess. She takes care of everything and creates a feel-good atmosphere. The price-performance ratio of your LANTALA Residence is unbeatable. I will be back!

99% of the residents on this Koh Yao Yai island are Muslims, and although the hotel's breakfast is not halal, the front desk will help explain this to the kitchen so that as long as you tell your room number, you can enjoy a halal breakfast, which is really nice. Our room was very nice and big, but please remember to apply mosquito repellent oil or spray before going out, otherwise you will invite mosquitoes to enjoy a feast 🤣 We went to a restaurant near the hotel for dinner, and the food outside was completely halal and very delicious. We were unlucky because it was not sunny when we went. I believe that if you go on a sunny day, the view will be more perfect, but it was still good for me.

The hotel is Thai style. Every exit from the room requires a shuttle, our room specifically needed 2 shuttles in each direction. I recommend finding out before closing the room, in addition, find out what floor the room is on (our building had 3 floors without an elevator)

We booked a Ctrip package and stayed for 4 nights during the rainy season, which almost included the hotel. There were very few guests. The experience was great. 3-4 nights is enough, and it would be boring if we stayed longer. Transportation 4 points: slightly inconvenient, after all, it is on an outlying island, and there are only 4 boat trips a day. Fortunately, we connected with the flight. If the flight was delayed, we might have to wait for a long time. Environment and facilities 5 points: newly opened in 22 years, the basic room is 90 square meters, medium size, and the hotel is not far away. The sea water is not very blue, it belongs to the mudflat type, there are local ghost crabs, the waves are very small, you can go to tread water, and the beach has different forms according to the tide, which is a bit interesting. Surroundings 3 points: Eating in the surrounding area, except for the CHILL CHILL restaurant 1.3 kilometers away, you can call the boss lady for free pick-up. If you want to go to other places, you need to rent a motorcycle. Otherwise, you can eat at the hotel. The buffet restaurant is not open in the off-season. The beach restrant tastes very good, but the price is a bit expensive. It would be best if there is a discount on dining. Service 5 points: Really warm, they greet you from the bottom of their hearts when they see you. Our English is average, but they are not tired of communicating with you. When negotiating the breakfast issue, the manager directly exempted the 4-year-old child from 4 nights of breakfast, which was a surprise. Activity facilities 4 points: There are not many activities, the kids club closes at 18:00, and there are almost no activities at night. I hope this will be improved. Finally, I would like to praise Ctrip. Due to the inconsistency between the catering content of the package and the hotel, they gave a 10% discount on the room rate after communication, and the handling result is satisfactory.

Overall a good stay. Feels like it’s one of the best on the island. If you’re looking for a really quiet town with lots of sun and relaxation, this is it. Resort food leaves something to be desired. There is much better (and cheaper) food up the road within a few steps. Cleanliness is on par with the what I’ve seen elsewhere in Thailand. Would go back!

Cape Kudu was the perfect island getaway. With that being said, the location is very secluded and requires multiple methods of transport. Although necessary and obvious for an island stay to be secluded, there could be increased methods of getting to the island. Service was impeccable. We celebrated a birthday here and the staff left a small complimentary cake in our room on the day of! They really go above and behind to make your stay amazing. Breakfast is also great - an immense assortment. There’s a roti station, egg station and lots of local and Western dishes available. Overall, would definitely stay at the Cape locations around Thailand!

According to Google the Thiwson Beach Resort is a 4 star resort, by definition this means it needs to offer a deluxe guest experience with a wide range of facilities, superior design qualities and excellent service. Based on this definition I felt it fell short of the mark and is a 3 star hotel at best, having said that, I absolutely loved it hence the high rating. At the time of writing #kohyaoyai only has a handful of resorts and guesthouses to choose from, i researched them carefully, my essentials being air conditioning & swimming pool in the mid range price bracket, my wish list being a characterful locally owned property on a beach. With the @thiwsonbeach I struck gold. This unpolished gem offered everything on my wish list plus more. Owned by a local family, three generations of whom regularly join the guests for dinner in the open air restaurant which serves very tasty reasonable priced Thai food and great chicken nuggets to the delight of my toddler (albeit they were out of fries for the duration of our stay!). Beside this are the beachfront huts are in prime position with their own outdoor jacuzzi, it’s no wonder they book up so far in advance. There are facilities on site to hire scooters or book tours to explore the island and two lovely pool areas. I was initially disappointed with the hilltop location of our own bungalow which are actually across the road from the others, but the quiet semi private pool area in front of our large veranda anf the sunrise view through the frangipani trees buckled my reservations. Our family suite was made up of 2 interconnecting rooms, including an extra bed charge charge & 3% credit card levy cost us €150 per night. The resort isn’t perfect, there are holes in the concrete (my little girl took a nasty fall in one) & bugs in the rooms (to the delight of my 9 year old boy), there is no room service and while there is sand the sea is separated from the resort with a concrete flood barrier & is extremely tidal so not ideal for swimming but for me character trumps perfection every time so I would return again in a heartbeat💖

If you want the most delicious food in Thailand - this is the place!! We had beef massaman curry and chicken with cashew nuts and both were exceptional - best meals in 3 weeks of travelling Thailand! Home cooked authentic food with fresh ingredients ! Would eat here everyday if possible - don’t miss it if on Kia Yao noi

My partner and I stayed at Koh Yao Yao Village for 3 nights during our travels around Thailand. The hotel is set within lush tropical grounds and has been designed to connect with nature. Whilst the hotel is quite remote, we hired a moped from a place at the end of the hotel drive for 250thb/day which made the island easily accessible. We stayed in a Deluxe Villa which was huge and we couldn’t quite believe this was the lowest standard accommodation on offer. The villa has a spacious outdoor area with loungers, a day bed, and chair, all of which were great for chilling out during the evening. Other aspects we loved about the room was being able to listen to nature whilst using the outdoor shower. The main pool is large and well designed, offering outstanding views across Thale Ko Yao towards Krabi. There is a swim up bar which offers a selection of drinks/cocktails however the service here was on the slower side. Breakfast was generally good, offering a wide variety of both local and international options. We also ate in the main restaurant for dinner on two nights where we found the food to be ok. A few reasons why I’ve rated this hotel 4/5: 1 - whilst I think the design of the hotel is timeless, some areas are starting to show their age e.g. AC not working on one night (took 3 calls to reception to resolve), bathroom sink plug not working. 2 - The music around the main pool/restaurant started to frustrate us after a day, I feel for people staying here for any longer. It appears the playlist/CD has about 8 songs and these repeat all day and evening. 3 - all food and drinks are subject to a mandatory service charge so the price you see on the menu isn’t the price you pay. I wouldn’t have an issue with this in a restaurant setting or if the service was outstanding however it wasn’t. On top of this, you are then also asked if you’d like to leave a tip (on top of service charge) when you settle each bill.

This is a genuine hidden gem in Koh Yao Yai and it was so good we decided to extend our stay. Here you will be able to relax your mind and recharge with its amazing decor and serene surroundings. The place has a unique, peaceful vibe that truly sets it apart!

Great hotel Perfect stay Great food Great service Very beautiful island
