A nice place to stay where you can stay longer. Unfortunately, there were daily problems with the availability of water in the bathroom.Without these problems there would be nothing to complain about about the accommodation.

Not worth the money, it’s better to go to a smaller neighboring island, where the price/quality is better.

Superb location with its view, its private swimming pool, its attentive and friendly staff. A peaceful place on a small island worth visiting.

Highlight here is the very friendly staff and the private infinity pool.
In my opinion, you need a Scooter/Motorbike to see other places on the island. On the other side of the road is a restaurant at seaside, 5 Minutes to the right hand side is a small supermarket and a friendly massage (Jasmin massgae)

Would definitely recommend. The rooms were spacious. We got the one directly facing the sea opposite the road. The staff is kind. Our pickup for the ferry arrived a little earlier than expected while we were having our breakfast, but the staff made sure to pack us whatever we needed. You can also rent a bike directly from them. So no need to hunt for bike somewhere else.

Very Nice place, offering some nice rooms with private pool and ocean front... Also scooter available for rent and a restaurant on site.The only downside it's the A/C unit need a little upgrade, stay in two different rooms and both of them had the same issue: Doesn't Cool enough... And to make things worse, they are set to only go down to 18 degrees.

Nice hotel! Having a private pool is the BEST EXPERIENCE EVER. 👌 After super hot days exploring around and even going to the beaches, we just wanted to go back to our room and get into this private pool with clean and nice water. The location is not far from the pier. Breakfast was good and fresh. They have a buffet but also a small paper slip to select breakfast to be cooked upon request, fresh and included. We booked for one night but decided to extend after we got there. The reception lady was able to accommodate us to another room since the first room had a reservation already for the second night. They made it possible for us to move our bags on the second day in the morning, so we didn't need to be outside waiting until checking in time on the second day. All rooms have different characteristics, the Oceanview room was nice, but we rather the privacy of "non-oceanview" room (the pictures of my husband are in the pool of non-ocean view room, you can still see the ocean, but there are some trees there😉).I recommend arranging a rental bike before your arrival at LEEYA Bike rental and paying her to deliver your bags to the hotel. It is cheaper than getting a taxi to the hotel and renting a bike later. Taxi cost 300 baht per 2 people and the bike costs 250-300 per day.

Great location and one of the best addresses on Koh Yao Yai! Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location (right on the beach). Great restaurant. It's best to rent a scooter at the accommodation and explore the island. Laundry and change services are also offered by the property, as well as transfers.

You can only hope you don't get room 304 because then you'll have a rooftop view instead of the sea and the pool water is green and dirty. Good luck ;)At least the staff was friendly and breakfast was okay. Rooms clean but hotel outdated. All in all, unfortunately not worth the money, especially if you book a pool and can't use it. The excuses don't help either.

We felt really comfortable. The views from the room and pool were fantastic.There is a nice restaurant on the beach directly below the hotel.You can easily explore the island with a scooter from the hotel.The hotel also organized arrival and departure for us and everything worked wonderfully

5/5
We had an apartment with a pool. Which seemed very clean, but slightly in need of repair. A few tiles were missing and a screw was not completely sunk into the pool. The rooms were TOP and exuded a jungle flair. There is very little going on on the island but since you could rent a scooter directly from the hotel for 300 BHT per day without any further checks or questions before and after the rental period, that was no longer a problem.
