The resort wasn't 5 star luxury, but it was probably about a four star equivalent, and it was beautiful: we loved it. We paid about 600Euro for 8 nights in August, and that only included breakfast. Meals were reasonably priced though. The price would go up if you start doing activities, which yes, were expensive, at about 50 Euro per... more

We returned to the Paradise Koh Yao from June 27th to July 5th. It felt like coming home. As the room we had requested was unavailable due to nearby construction, we were upgraded to a pool villa. From here on out, there may be no other way. Our villa was set back with a private beach, outdoor bar, swing, loungers,... more

A most divine, laid back resort nestling among coconuts palms and jungle on a small island. Certainly getting there is an adventure in itself, a bumpy speedboat ride from Phuket but once we rounded Koh Yao island and entered a half-moon bay, the waters were tranquil. The resort (mainly hidden among the trees) rises up from a broad beach into... more

I travel to resorts a lot. Be it a quick getaway with Cass to a sniff out the newest Design Hotel or a meeting which happens to be in the household name resort in the region. Whether it is from a pool villa looking across the valley into the picture-perfect temple or hill-side suite with the balcony falling onto horizon,... more

We had a Jacuzzi room, which was just gorgeous; very well maintained and absolutely spotless with a nice touch. Breakfast is great with a... more

We stayed at The Paradise March 16-24. We arrived to meet the new GM, Michael, on the pier (Phuket) waiting for the boat. Even the views from the pier were amazing, and as you get closer to the island, the limestone cliffs with white sandy beaches and lush vegitation become even more pronounced and beautiful. The resort itself is tucked... more

We stayed four nights in the Paradise Koh Yao in February 2008. It was a true rediscovery of the senses: the feeling of white sand under your feet as soon as you reached the resort, the superb views at the bay and the surrounding woods, the smell of lemongrass, tropical woods and flowers, the taste of the delicious food and... more

We stayed for 4days at this resort. having settled all the booking and payment in singapore, we only needed to inform the resort of our flight timings and they handled the rest. transfers were smooth and little delay was evident. on the car ride to the jetty and the speedboat to the island. 15minutes and 50minutes respectively. seas were relatively... more

Having travelled widely in Asia, Africa and Europe we decided to return to Thailand for a winter break this year. Of the three 5 * resorts we stayed at 4 days each this time Paradise was head and shoulders above the rest. From the moment of arrival on the hotels private launch to departure everything was perfect. Marc the GM... more
