We saw Yao Yai Island from Ao Nang at the Happy Beach Bar and decided to go to the island. We found Yao Yai Resort on the internet, called them and the adventure began the next morning. We intended to stay only two days but ended up staying for 6 days. It was the best Thai food to be found,... more

We have been there Oct 2008 for 3D2N stay. Their Dutch boss is a very nice and cheerful guy. Nice for short stays, friendly staff, resort is quite a remote area travel from jetty and not many inhouse activities. Most of the time during our stay the type of food in their menu are not available 8-( My friend's room,... more

We stayed at this "resort" for 2 nights, though we had booked 3, during the end of April. We had very conflicted emotions about this place. Most of all, we wish we had been given some more information before booking. Most of the negative reviews on this site were written in German (which we don't speak), so we didn't get... more

If the beaches and weather of Southern Thailand beckon but the crowds on Phuket don't, this place is the perfect alternative that's a mere one-hour ferry ride away. Located on the sunset side of Ko Yao Yai (Big Long Island) is this 23-unit resort that is right on the beach at Ban Lopareh on the southwestern coast. The term 'resort'... more

We stayed 4 nights at the Yao Yai Resort with our 2 children. Traveling with another family we were 9 persons and we had the place almost for ourselves. Sharing the 1 km long beach with crabs and some occasional school kids. I remember us all to think and say ' now we are really on holiday'. We stayed at... more

The resort was exactly what we expected - it was a get away destination and the resort was secluded away from the everyday holiday bustle -lovely traditional chalets which are all now receiving a fresh face lift but still great - all requests were met, all staff extremely friendly and helpfull - especially coming across from London it was just... more

Our family spent 4 lovely nights and 5 days at Yao Yai Resort. This is one of a very few select resorts we will do our best to return to. Perfect balance between old style Thai bungalow living (i.e. Phi-Phi some 15-20 years ago) and gentle modernization as A/C in some of the bungalows. The staff and Khann (owner himself)... more

Despite an encouraging location and being an ideal get-away got caught by too many hidden extras here to recommend it. The 'pick-up' service that is offered as standard on booking is to be paid for at four times the local rate. The staff are rude, unhelpful and quite simply enough to put you off going at all. Extras accumulated whilst... more
