Beautiful resort, well organized, a life-time experience. We stayed in the villa with private pool, total privacy except our toddler with us lol

Gorgeous hotel. Rooms were so spacious and well appointed. The villa with the private pool was exceptional

Amazing hotel and astonishing staff, very friendly and very helpful, car shuttle was perfect 24/7 whenever needed I stayed in a villa with a private pool it was like paradise

Everything was absolutely exceptional. Absolute privacy, excellent food, swimming in private pool, beautiful beach, clean sea, friendly staff. Definitely the best place (Koh Yao Yai is not yet so affected by mass tourism as for example Phi Phi, where the mass of tourists is repulsive) and hotel I have ever been to. The whole family enjoyed the stay very much and we will be back. P.S. I love the traditional Thai style, the whole resort is very traditional.

Such a nice hotel, great location, nice room, and friendly staff. We had a private pool room, the room was open and bright. The restaurant food was good and cocktails were yum!

Lovely private pool villa, good resort, great staff and good food. Easy walk to other restaurants.

Very nice hotel, superbly located facing a heavenly bay. Very welcoming and caring staff. The service and the equipment are of high quality. The villa with private pool is very well decorated and offers a lot of privacy. The breakfast is excellent and varied. To advise for a paranthesis of luxury and voluptuousness on an island which really deserves to be discovered.

We had a private pool villa which was amazing The staff were so polite and helpful The hotel and rooms were very French and beautiful The views were amazing Situated in the best part of the island We had the hotel transfers each way. While it cost a little bit more, the convenience and safety was worth it.

Amazing resort at perfect location with private access to the beach, infinity pools, swim-up bar, buggy rides around the resort and the in-room food was delicious.

Great room, beautiful gardens, great pool with swim up bar and quiet beach. Amazing staff.

This is a beautiful resort with spacious grounds, beautiful green landscaping, and excellent facilities. Our room had everything we needed and was impeccably clean (as is the whole resort). The large swimming pool with swim-up bar is fabulous, and there are plenty of sun-loungers for everyone, including a shady area by the beach if you do not wish to be by the pool. All of the staff are wonderful - always smiling, polite, and helpful. The buffet breakfasts had every choice you can imagine and were enjoyed in the 'temporary' Mangosteens restaurant, looking out at the sea.

Five star luxury here , a warm greeting and chilled drinks upon arrival. Rooms are very spacious , fully air conditioned and wonderfully comfortable beds. The whole resort is very spacious, focused on relaxation and high service. From the fully equipped gym, Friday yoga classes on the beach and cocktails at happy hour at the swim up pool bar (x2 for 350 THB). The staff could not have been more attentive and ensured we were made to feel welcomed and at home. There’s some good restaurants and bars along the beach outside the resort. You can rent a scooter and it’s 10 minutes to Ao nang.

We just spent 5 nights at the Dusit on Krabi and had an exceptional time. The facilities were a high standard, plenty of leisure and wellness activities, two fantastic pools including one with swim up bar/food, fronts a quiet beach, solid western n asian food breakfast buffet, quality on site restaurants whilst a number of others literally steps from the property entrance, and room finishes of a high standard (they are in process of refurbishing the rooms and i believe are 2/8 buildings thru process; we didnt get a refurbished room but ours was still of solid quality).

stunning setting on a private secluded beach. amazing sea views from our room with private pool. the beach front was lovely and staff all friendly and helpful. lots of games to play too like table tennis, badminton, darts. the happy hour was brilliant!

Located on a beautiful beach with stunning views, set on the edge of the jungle. We had a room with a plunge pool which was perfect for cooling down in. The staff were wonderful and really helpful.

Beautiful beach, friendly staff, amazing room with a plunge pool (worth splurging on this!), nice lounge chairs. Good variety of restaurant food & drinks. Happy hour was nice everyday right on the beach.

Wonderful peaceful place, we loved the facilities and our boat villa with a small private pool. The staff was very helpful and kind and the food was great.

Beautifully maintained small beachside hotel on a gorgeous bay with calm swimmable water. We stayed in a beachfront villa with pool access which was magical. Excellent customer service and a lovely restaurant. Highly recommend.

right on the beachfront with amazing caring staff our villa had a clean private pool you don’t need to leave the resort

loved the location, the layout of the private pool villa. the bungalow style was very “one with nature” while having all the convenience and luxury of a 5 star resort.

A stunning beachfront hotel with private villas each with a private pool. Unlike other resorts, what made the experience so special was the friendly and competent staff. Great getaway spot.

The property was amazing. We had a villa with our own private pool on the beach. Absolutely a must to visit.

Very nice property. very calm. The villas with private pool are amazing. staying on a small island was wonderful. All transportations were very well organized by the staff. Highly recommended for family who seeks a quite place in Phuket.

For a resort that is 20+ years old I thought it was very well maintained. Obviously, there are signs of wear, but none that take from the resorts quality of stay. The room size, private pool and location were amazing. We had just enough view of the ocean with pirvacy to satisfy!! There are 3 restaurants on the island all with substantial choices for dinning. I was really impressed with the lunch menu at the rum Chapel! We never had a meal we didn't enjoy at any location.

Very nice place,good location,amazing staff. We have been upgraded to a most beautiful villa,private pool,outdoor jacuzzi.

The hotel was fantastic, beach was exceptionally beautiful and our villa was superb. Very spacious and stylish, as well as very private. The Christmas Eve event was excellent with fireshow, and good entertainment. Very boutique in feel and breakfast was high quality and delicious. We spent time in our private pool and at the beach bar, which was affordable and food excellent. Truly a remarkable stay.

We stayed in this hotel for one week week, they accommodated us in a villa with a private pool, an outdoor shower and a bath. We were supposed to have one bedroom but they upgraded us to a two bedroom villa. So we had plenty of space. They refilled our water bottles every day. However, if you needed one, you could ask for another one and they would refill it for you free of charge. The cleaning was perfect, the service, the massages we can't complain.

Very nice boutique hotel with beautiful landscape, garden and pools; Great view of the islands in front of the hotel; it is not crowded at the pools Good restaurant and excelent services; spa with a pleasant atmosphere; We were upgraded to the villa with pool on the beach - which is worth all the money: 2 separate bedrooms with bathroom; one of the bedrooms with bathroom outside; large living room and a small kitchen; the pool is big and it's great to have a swim in your own pool! large living room and a small kitchen; the pool is big and it's great to have a swim in your own pool looking at the stars and palm trees; There are a few restaurants nearby , which you can reach in 5 minutes by walking on the beach. I warmly recommend this hotel to everyone who loves quiet boutique hotels with 5-star facilities!

1.

Beautiful area with huge, clean and well-maintained swimming pool, a range of fun activities outside (table tennis, volleyball, pool, petanque, paddle-boarding, bouncy castle, etc.) and a nice poolside bar. 3. Excellent quality of food at breakfast and in the Lotus restaurant. 4. Spacious and comfortable rooms with nice balcony and a bathtub.

Sofitel is a great tourist place to enjoy your vacation. They kind of have their own private beach. Truly a 5 star hotel. Exceptional swimming pool, it is huge in length and good to spend time over there. However, I request them to increase the duration of pool hours from 7pm to 9pm. Many of us want to enjoy the pool at night.

The Sofitel's service and facilities are probably the best in Krabi. The staff are extremely professional and went well out of their way to ensure that we had a pleasant stay. The pool is definitely the property's most impressive facility. According to their marketing, it is the largest free-from pool in Thailand (or maybe just Krabi), but it is quite impressive, and the pool-side bar service was extremely attentive. The club lounge is also a pleasant facility and made our stay even more enjoyable.

We loved the vibe of this hotel, the comfort and ease of everything! The staff were amazing, especially the 3 lads on the pool bar, they had it running so well and worked amazing as a team, very friendly and professional. Also, the manager of the Italian restaurant we met twice, you can't miss her - she has such a big smile! She was amazing too! Thanks to Sky, Sam & Halif for making our trip extra special with your warm welcomes and hospitality, good laughs & convos at the pool bar! We won't forgot you all and our holiday!

Beautiful expansive property with golf course. Attentive staff enhanced the experience. Great breakfast with loads of options and choices. Super pool area and pool bar. A great quality resort, well managed with great staff.

great location with beautiful surroundings. The rooms are lovely and the private pool is a lovely addition. The main pool is also a good size with comfortable loungers. Food was delicious too and the staff were really friendly and helpful. I’d definitely go back.

The property was quiet and comfortable, and the rooms were lovely. We loved the private pool and the main pool. The setting is beautiful. Breakfast was good - fresh eggs and fruit were good. Housekeeping was great.

Only 5 minutes from the pier. The location is so very secluded, quiet and peaceful, all you can hear is the wildlife. We booked a room with it's own private pool, stunning. It was a great experience and we were sad to leave

Private pool is a nice temperature and clean. Staff are great and friendly organised transfers to the pier. Rented bikes for 250 bhat per day. Good location. Breakfast is good. Rooms nice and clean, good aircon good bathrooms

The room was spacious with a private pool and sea view. The breakfast was superb with local thai foods and other items too. The scooter can be hired from the hotel itself at a reasonable price.

Villa with private pool is amazing. Would definately book again. Outside shower, very spacious, comfy beds. And the breakfast is just wonderful. Great choice of European and Thai food, amazing view over the ocean! Highly recommended!

The place really is phenomenal! The friendliest staff that is always here to help you. We enjoyed the private pool many times and almost always had dinner in their sea side restaurant which is so good! Highlights recommend the whole snapper sweet and sour.

Luxury interior space with lots of room, private pool, and deck with fantastic view of the ocean. This place is outstanding in so many ways! Option for motorbike rental, included excellent breakfast at the beach every morning, and service was top notch.

Stunning location, really enjoyed the private pool. Food was some of the best we had in Thailand. Great base for exploring the island and surrounding islands. The villas are a good size and staff welcoming. Rented scooter from over the road.

We had a magical three nights in a villa with a private pool. The area is quiet and calm, with a fantastic restaurant right next to the beach.

Pool recreation area was excellent for kids. Swim up bar was great although under staffed.

The spa is amazing. Nah's Thai massage was the best I have experienced I think. Totally Zen Sam and boy provide great service at the swim up bar too! Nice work team

I have stayed at this hotel twice, and it’s definitely one of my favourite hotels. The property is beautiful, the staff are professional, and the rooms are both spacious and elegant. We stayed in a suite with direct pool access and lounge entry. The room was very large and comfortable, and the bathroom was truly amazing. The lounge was lovely, offering a great selection of snacks and small tapas. The pool — and especially the breakfast — are simply outstanding, and the kids’ activities are fantastic.

The best thing about the hotel is that it is really pretty and has a huge pool. Loved that there was an adult only side. Not too crazy about the swim up bar, because it seemed that the kids liked to go there since they could stand on the steps and platform. The bar service at the pool is terrible. Don't expect to lay in a lounge chair and get waited on. You will find that wait takes forever. They seemed more concerned about people eating at bar area. The rooms are very large. The bathroom we had wasn't that great, when you took a shower - water came out all over the floor. Over all it is a nice hotel, but the service is not great at the bars and restaurants. Went to the buffet for breakfast and had lukewarm coffee and tea. If you ask for anything it took a long time to get, if you get it at all. Ordered mango and it never came one day. Staff in the restaurants doesn't seem too concerned about the guests and they seemed bored to be there. We were very surprised by how slow and the lack of service since we picked this hotel because of the high ratings.

The hotel was running on a very low occupancy yet they did not think of giving a closer room to pool access(which is their usp) as I had elder parents and small children. Inspite of mentioning that we are vegetarian everyday we had to explain again to get things made for us, which they did it very happily. The resort is far from the main area Ao nang and the hotel concierge does not give you any ideas or options of things to do. They are more interested in selling their tour packages which is 8-10 times expensive than the other providers. The stay could have been more interesting if someone could have been assigned to us to understand the concerns on food, stay etc. But I guess they are all returning from Covid and really not equipped to serve customers. Being Sofitel standards they really need to get guest relations on a higher standard.

Our stay was fabulous, pool access room was amazing,breakfast buffet was awesome, we totally enjoyed our stay only problem was it was too far from Ao nang , hotel should provide free shuttle to ao nang.

This resort has beautiful views on what felt like a private beach. Customer service was top-notch! It's about 30 minutes from Au Nang, which wasn't great because it was so peaceful. The tour desk can arrange roundtrip transportation to Au Nang to shop or enjoy the night market/nightlife. We hired a private longboat, which picked up from the beach at the resort. Very convenient! Wide selection of breakfast options. Offers swim-out suites.

The perfect beachfront pool villa with the comfortable bed, the amazing and clean private pool, direct door to the beach and lots of places to sit together and drink a beer, cocktail or eat a nice meal. The staff was always very helpful and kind and the breakfast was great. Also easy to catch a taxi or bolt to ao nang for going out in the evening.

Overall If you want a nice quiet stay then it doesn’t get any better than this resort. Pros The view from the beach is spectacular. The best we’ve seen and that includes Aonang beach and Koh Phi Phi. The beach view looks across and out to more than a dozen gorgeous islands jutting out of the sea. It is a view to die for. The beach itself is soft white sand going slowly into the ocean. You can walk out 100 yards before it’s over your head. And there is great shade under the trees, enough for everyone and for the whole day. Our room was huge, with a modern shower and bathroom. The breakfast is the best we’ve had in Thailand. Lots to choose from and a view to end all views from the sitting area. The staff were friendly and super helpful. The hotel is beautiful. If you want, you can get a pool access room, which is great if you have really young kids Cons If you want lots of restaurant choices, shopping, or a party scene - this is not it. There are 4 resorts on this semiprivate beach and no other services in the area. Each one has a restaurant and there are 2 other restaurants. The prices in the Anvayee restaurant are on the high end, but you can walk down the beach 200 m for other choices that are more reasonable. You can also get a shuttle into Aonang but we did not feel the need. We would go back to the Anvayee again. It is very special to us.

Anyavee Tubkaek Beach Resort was like spending 6 days in a wonderful dream. I cried when I left because I just wanted to stay. We were a bit hesitant after seeing some of the reviews about the staff and building maintenance. The Thai sun and the sea are very harsh on a building but, despite that, I thought the resort was maintained very well. And the staff treated us like royalty. Toom was a gem; she was so attentive to our every need! Our family of 4 stayed in a 2-bedroom beachside villa and it was, honestly, the most beautiful and amazing location we have ever experienced. The villa felt luxurious and spacious with plenty of space for our two teens to get comfortable. Tubkaek Beach is quiet and full of natural beauty (just how we like it). We rented a paddleboard and kayak, the kids chased crabs on the beach, and a couple of monitor lizards ambled in the yard as we played in our private pool. We came away completely refreshed and reinvigorated. Thank you!!!

An amazing location and room, the view and the private pool are perfect..sadly if you are coming with kids the sofa bed that is noted on the size is actually a beanbag .. so this might be a slight issue.

SamSam was a complete delight. A wonderful resort where attention to detail is a priority. The entire SamSam team was wonderful. Golf, the operations manager, was stellar. She ensured our every request was met in a kind and gracious manner - even driving to pick up our favorite Thai Iced Coffees so that we could enjoy them poolside. The resort is beautiful, the villas are well cared for and offer wonderful views. The private pool at the TreeHouse was a highlight. Highly recommend.

Beautiful small and exclusive resort in a perfect location. The villa Honglek was amazing with a wonderful private pool and the best views. Even without a private pool this place would be fantastic as the communal pool which was huge was rarely in use by other guests. Perfect location for getting to beaches and restaurants ( even on foot). We hired mopeds from the hotel and easily explored most of the island with very little traffic. The staff were amazing and organised our journey home leaving SamSam at 05.45 and arriving back in the UK at 8pm. I would highly recommend a private long tail from the pier rather than speedboat taxi - costs more but worth the experience. Great food, beautiful bird life and wonderful people - the Thailand of 20 years ago - unspoilt by mass tourism.

We’ve been to Koh Yao Noi 3 times now and this was always somewhere we wanted to stay. Due to it being April the rates had almost halved in price. It’s in a great location by Pasai Beach, you can hire scooters through the hotel so perfect for exploring. They picked us up from the pier in a huge truck! The room was huge, great aircon, comfy bed, and the bathroom was amazing the shower could fit 8 people! Breakfast was picked from an extensive menu and brought to the room at the chosen time. Presentation and food was very good. The ground were lovely, pool was so peaceful with a little bar. As it’s the low season we were felt like we had it to ourselves. It also has a huge gym! Which is rare in Thailand. It’s an arts hotel so the artwork was amazing throughout. One thing that would be nice is if you paved the side of the pool where the sunloungers were, the loungers were on soil, which isn’t as nice as the decked/paved part of the pool, but that’s a tiny thing! We hope to come back some day and stay longer!

We loved staying here, we felt like we were so far away from the hustle of Phuket. I loved looking out into the hills, it was very relaxing. We loved how quiet and peaceful it was. The pool was large and get to cool off in. Seating around the pool was good too.

The room itself was amazing!!! The best part was the private pool and bathtub outside with amazing spa products. The staff was unsurpassable. Caring, kind, friendly, and accommodating!! I could not have expected more!

Amazing location, get the private pool it was a must

Private pool in private Villa was super nice

Our stay at the Tubkaak Krabi was excellent. We rented the Haven Suite and it was incredible. Perfect ocean view, amazing and large private pool, and the room itself was huge! The service at the resort was incredible, with such attention to detail. We rented a long tail boat with a private picnic arranged by the hotel, and it was our favorite experience in Thailand! The beach was beautiful, and when the tide was out you could walk out forever and the water was so calm. This stay was one of my top favorites ever!

We had an AMAZING stay at The Six Senses. The staff were absolutely incredible, especially Khun Q who looked after us, and the villa is the best accommodation we've ever stayed in. The villa was huge, and the private pool and deck area was just out of this world. The accommodation was kept spotless at all times, and the pool cleaned thoroughly and regularly. It was truly a paradise and I can't imagine we'll ever stay in such a nice villa again. The food was all delicious, and the day trips offered by the hotel run perfectly. We had the absolute best stay.

The property is absolutely gorgeous. We had a two bedroom villa with a pool. The pool was sparkling clean. The air conditioning worked very well. We ordered room service and ate at two of the restaurants. We were only there for two nights which was definitely not enough. The staff were all outstanding. The spa was incredible, one of the best massages I have ever had. I can’t wait to go back.

The resort is simply spectacular. A piece of heaven on earth. The views from the resort, particularly from our room were fantastic (we stayed in a panorama pool villa). One of the strong points of the resort is the food, all restaurants and breakfast were incredible, particularly the Thai options (the fried egg pad kra pao was our favorite). Both the resort and villa pools are also great. The villas are very private. We loved the nature and wildlife in the resort and also the environmental consciousness everywhere. The farm, and possibility to get your own eggs are amazing. We also liked the island itself, which we explored with the bikes available on site. The staff is world class, really they go above and beyond to help and make you feel pampered. Jenny our host was lovely and was always there to help. There are tours to local island as wells as Phi Phi, Krabi and other places. I highly recommend booking at least one of these, since they are really amazing.

Six Senses Yao Noi is set in the most stunning location, blending breathtaking natural beauty with luxury and sustainability. The wildlife and lush surroundings create a vibrant island vibe, seamlessly integrated into the resort’s design without disrupting nature. The level of food and drinks was unparalleled—honestly, the best coffee we’ve ever had abroad, and every meal was an unforgettable experience. There were plenty of activities, including a magical James Bond movie screening under the stars (as a part of the "Living Room" restaurant). The peaceful integration with nature made us feel like we were in a luxurious treehouse. Our Hideaway Villa was perfect, with a fantastic bath and thoughtful mosquito management through fogging and natural repellents. Pool was amazing and so as the outdoors seating and dining area. unmatched privacy!! The hotel staff was amazing, offering free ice cream and complimentary activities like paddleboarding and kayaking, always with a helping hand. Even the transfer to the airport was flawless, with staff escorting us all the way to the check-in counter, handling our luggage from start to finish. The overall vibe was intimate and familial, making the experience even more special.

Absolutely wonderful stay — easily the best experience we’ve had abroad. Six Senses is truly one of a kind. Nothing compares to the breathtaking view from the Hilltop pool, the warmth and attentiveness of the staff, and the incredible design of the walkways throughout the property. Getting picked up from our villa and seamlessly taken wherever we needed made everything feel effortless. Honestly, the entire experience felt magical.

We had a lovely week here. It is a stones throw away from the beach - worth getting up and going over for sunrise! Aicha and the team were all so kind and very helpful. We have an online business so needed to work everyday from our laptops - we were able to sit at the tables in the main area where there were fans and a nice ocean breeze. Even when it was raining it was lovely! The room was spacious, had chairs inside and on the front deck area, decent cupboard and storage space. There are plenty of food options around - across the road on the beachfront is an Italian restaurant, a handful of local Thai spots, then either way up or down the island are other options. We walked to the 7 Eleven and it took around 45mins (easy flat walk), but there are other little shops much closer to get items. It's quiet around there which was perfect for us, at times we felt like we had the whole accommodation and beach all to ourselves. If you're looking for western food, the Extra Time sports bar round the corner has great food (their Thai is also delicious). 360 bar and sunset bar are also good spots. Honestly all the food we had around there was great. We got a kayak for 300 baht for 4 hours and went over to Hong Island - hard work but a great time. Will definitely return again in future.

I had a great 10 days here. Great location, directly opposite the nicest part of this beach strip. Cross the road and you are at the beach, perfect. Many restaurants and bars etc within minutes walk. The rooms were comfy, and the bed was very comfortable. The room was cleaned well and good bed linen and towels etc. Nice patio to relax on surrounded by beautiful nature. Some cute and friendly cats around. Owner very nice woman. She speaks good English so it's easy to communicate. She helped me with information regarding my onward travel to Krabi and also arranged a bike to be delivered, very quickly and good price. Was all very easy. I would like to stay here again if I get a chance to return to this beautiful island 🏝

We arrived to be taken to our lovely bungalow very basic but has all you need for your stay we stayed 4 days you could easily stay longer a lot quieter loved it you walk over the road to the beach bar and next door is a lovely local resteraunt . we hired a moped for one day as we had everything we needed on our doorstep. They organised a taxi for us back to the ferry 100 bht per person . Loved it

For the price this place is absolutely amazing. It’s a rather secluded farm, the rooms have comfortable beds an air conditioner and hot water with decent pressure in the shower. The view and background noise are stunning. We were here with our very active five year old boy and he had plenty of space to run around and explore

It is a really nice, comfortable and clean place in front of the best beach of Koh Yao Noi. We felt at home, the moment we arrived. Very nice bungalows with everything you need in walking distance. The owner was very helpful and friendly. We are already planning on coming back.

Villa was amazing, staff were very friendly and arranged things for us to make our stay the best. Couples massage was amazing! We loved our private pool and the view. The breakfast provided went above and beyond expectations.

The villa is quite large, more so than expected. Very comfortable, lived the private pool and the pagoda where breakfast was served. Our favourite place in Thailand. For the photos, the bathroom is the bedroom…

Great villa with private pool and view to the sea. Fantastic, and most friendly Team. Thank you!

Very nice, large villa, with outdoor seating and nice little private pool. Staff friendly. Breakfast brought to your terrace.

It's an amazing site. The hotel doesn't have a lobby; instead, it has a mystical temple-like entry with floating water stones. The staff greets you and shows you to the room. The space is enormous! The room's paintings and doors were painted by hand. The largest bed in the world! Fantastic outdoor shower, tub, and shower. Although there is a private pool, we didn't spend much time in it. The service is outstanding! The pool is amazing. There are several restaurants and a children's club on the grounds. Everything was fantastic. Fantastic breakfast.

10 stars! Wow what an experience! Customer service beyond anything I’ve seen. We arrived by a speed boat and were greeted by banquet Director, iced tea, towels etc. Our beach villa had a private pool, amazing amenities. We had personal butler Khun Yid, and he was beyond amazing. Everything customized with what’s up text service where you can ask for anything and team just makes it happen. Resort is incredible, spa was amazing, pool with swim up bar, restaurants, kids play room and more! Lots of complimentary activities (we did sunrise hike and visited small island) will definitely will be coming back

Very special property. Love the arrival and goodbye ceremony - I thought they were very unique touches. The resort is walkable or you can get a ride in a buggy but hang on tight if on the back! The breakfast buffet was delicious. The food overall was good including room service but the Thai restaurant was outstanding. We were in Royal villa 30 and it was so big I felt like there were parts I never went to. The bed is so big - it’s like two king size beds pushed together. A whole family could sleep on it but it’s also very comfy. The private pool was freezing and very deep but really nice to relax by. The main pool was not busy when we went so it was also enjoyable as was the poolside dining. Sunset is incredible. We did a private boat tour arranged by our butler Khun Pin and it was amazing. They showed us all the key sights and even gave us water and snack and fresh fruit. After our boat ride the Ritz staff was waiting for us on shore with cold towels and cool drinks. It was so thoughtful. They even provide you with a beach tote and sun hat in your dressing room which is a lovely touch. Everyone was very friendly and helpful and it was a magical stay over all.

he private villa was beautiful, with a fantastic private pool, outdoor bath, and a very comfortable bed. Everything looked great and felt well maintained. I especially want to thank Aea, the private concierge, who was wonderful - very kind, attentive, and helpful throughout my stay. The pool and poolside food were absolutely amazing, and I really enjoyed spending time there. The only downside was breakfast - it was very limited, and I ended up needing to take a taxi to eat elsewhere or order to the room. Also, I didn’t see a proper beach nearby, only a rocky step into the water, though I wasn’t actively looking for a beach. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable stay, and I truly appreciated the villa experience and the excellent service from Aea.

Georges and his team went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable from beginning to end. They organised transfers, mountain bikes and kayaks for our use. Our villa was well appointed and the private pool amazing. The restaurant staff and food was excellent dine in or take away.

The villa we stayed in was utterly beautiful, the beds were so comfortable and the private pool was used constantly by our children and ourselves, the restaurant area had a lovely warm and cozy feel to it and was very welcoming, the beach that the property led onto was deserted most days and was so much fun to watch all the crabs run across it. The water was lovely and we had the best 5 days

We loved Ko Yao Noi island and our stay at Kayao Bay Pavillions. The setting of our accomodation was superb set in natural surroundings and close to nature. Our villa was luxurious, comfortable, spacious, extremley clean and well maintained. The villa was equiped with everything we needed and more ! The location of the private pool was a highlight. The menu in the restaurant was extensive offering Thai, European and Street Food the best food we had in our entire stay in Thailand. The management team of George, Bee, and Ryan were amazing hosts and made us feel very welcome. They were always avaliable to help and advise but never intrusive. All the staff, cleaners, grounds staff were friendly, polite and helpful. We would like to give a special mention to the waitresses who were exceptional and to the chefs who provided delicious meals throughout our stay.

Koyao Bay Pavilions is a beautiful and serene place to get back to nature. We stayed in the Taara Villa, which has an outdoor kitchen and living room encouraging us to spend more time outdoors, listening to the sounds of nature. The outdoor area has multiple large fans to stay cool and keep mosquitos away. The front yard of the villa is beautiful with trees, flowers, small ponds, and a large pool. The villa is a short walk to the beach, and also close to a local grocery store if you'd like to purchase fresh fruits etc. The beach was nearly empty every single day, and there are multiple hammocks in the shade that you can sit in and read for hours. The views of the Phang Nga Bay are incredible, and I highly recommend waking up for a few sunrises. Keep in mind that the water around Koh Yao Noi is not going to be the crystal clear water you might find at other islands in Thailand, however you can easily take day trips to places with clearer water. One day I took a long walk along almost the entire east coast of the island, and when I passed beach after beach, I saw very few people. We go to Thailand often, and this is the least crowded, and one of the most calm islands we have visited - we were there in April. At the same time, there is plenty to do if you'd like to such as short trips to nearby islands, bike rides, visits to farms and more. Bee, George, Ryan and the entire staff are so helpful, and we would definitely go back again and stay at Koyao Bay Pavilions.

The property is a serene oasis butt up right on the beach, scattered with tropical plants and trees, making the space feel secluded yet nourishing and absolutely stunning. The architecture of the beach villas are so beautiful- each one having their own gazebo type patio as well. So much seating and places to relax. Just upon our arrival, my partner and I took a much needed nap in the hammocks after traveling. It was the most relaxed we’ve been in a while! This place is incredible on so many levels, from the outstanding food, the pools and beach access, the grounds, and down to the level of attention and care from the staff. They really care here! We had awesome conversations with Asma (such a sweet and friendly woman!), Bee at the front desk was so friendly and helpful, as well as Ryan, always there to offer his support to make sure our stay on Koh Yao Noi was memorable. They went above and beyond to meet some accommodations that I needed mid stay too. Just in awe of this place. Travis and I will be back as soon as we can- even though we’re across the world 😉

Varana Hotel in Krabi is almost new and a lot of money and thoughts have gone into making this a brilliant hotel, including a 50m olympic size swimming pool and other pools, some whirlpool spa-style. It was low season so no crowds around the pool and therefore a very happily quiet stay. The on-site restaurants Kin (breakfast) and Nook (dinner) served excellent food and the staff were attentive, polite and helpful throughout. There is a road to cross to get to the beach, but the fantastic pool more than made up for the need for visiting the beach at all. Altogether, an excellent hotel. The area around it has plenty of cheap restaurants and massage parlours for those who want to explore on foot.

We stayed for 4 nights in the luxe plus room with pool view (we were upgraded from luxe pool view) and we had a view of the sea from the balcony as well which was a lovely surprise (room 241)! The pools were great - we spent a lot of time there with our 2 year old. The food is also excellent - definitely recommend the pizza if you want a break from Thai! We went to the naam spa experience which was incredible, and also ate at the sala restaurant - great view of the sunset and everything was delicious, especially the spicy grilled chicken! The location is ideal as its at a beautiful quiet beach but there are still plenty of restaurants, massage places, longboat tours etc and a 7-11 nearby. The hotel staff were so friendly and really made our stay feel special. We're already planning our next visit! Thank you, Varana!

New hotel, very clean. The staff are amazing, so helpful and friendly. The hotel is located in a quieter part, maybe 15 mins in a car from the main touristy bit - for us that is a positive. The swimming pools are great, two kid friendly pools and a huge/deep pool for exercise/diving. How the hotel could improve: - better sound proofing in the rooms - branded shampoo/conditioner - a small mirror was taped onto the big mirror in the bathroom, this kept falling off which was rather annoying. Minor complaints. Highly recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a luxury break.

Absolutely beautiful hotel. The entire complex is spotless and well maintained. The rooms were lovely and beds extremely comfortable. Pool areas are brilliant, could do with proper pool table service as it is difficult to get served unless going to kiosk and can take a long time to get food or drink near the pool. All staff are very friendly and helpful.

This resort lived up to its status of being a 5 star. Starting of with a vast property (still look like new), well maintained and very clean, to the staffs that are very friendly and welcoming. They allowed us to checked in early, gave us a discount for the transportation to get our things from the other hotel and back to theirs. The welcome drink and fresh towel is a good gesture, its refreshing and heartwarming at the same time. Once we were checked in, we were escorted to our room via their own tuktuk ride. The room is very spacious and it has a great view from the balcony. The room itself is very clean, nice interior and very pleasing to the eyes. They even provided a bag that you can use should you want to go to the beach or the pool. They have big pools, 3 areas to be exact and its very well maintained. The restaurant has great food selections (we tried breakfast a dinner as well as in room dining). Overall, it was a great experience for us. Too bad its only for a short period. I will definitely come back here in my next visit to Thailand.

The hotel is nice and clean and the staff is friendly always greeting you as you walk past. The view of the beach is nice from the room we had. The pool is nice and always kept clean. The restaurant is good and the view of the water while eating is great. For the money the hotel is awesome. We didn't end up swimming at the hotels beach with the tide being out when we were around except at night when the water was high but rough, it was nice to walk out on the pier though and enjoy the view. The location of any hotel on this island can be hard if you don't have a moped to get around and see different things, we rented a moped at the pier and drove to the hotel but the hotel had mopeds to rent as well. One of our favorite hotels on our trip as we usually don't spend this much being a budget traveler but it was worth it.

We loved this place, 4 days to chill out in beautiful surroundings. Our villa was clean and comfortable and very thai styled and catered for all our needs, loved the little deck on our balcony to chill out on. Swimming pool is small but clean and tidy. Food is great, the Thai dinner dishes are amazing especially the chicken satay. Good value prices and get a moped for the day and explore the island, some areas which reception will circle on your map are absolute gems to visit. Moped hire 300bht. We would definitely come back to Ko Yao Yai it's a beautiful place. Thankyou Baan Taranya for making us welcome

Die Zimmer sind geräumig und sauber, und sind, genau wie die gesamte Anlage mit Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Das Personal ist super freundlich und versucht einem bei allen Belangen zu helfen. Wir reisen mit kleinem Kind und auch darauf ist das Hotel eingestellt: Hochstühle, Schwimmreifen und -Bretter im Pool und Babybetten, die man dazubuchen kann. Wir können das Hotel wirklich jedem empfehlen, es hat auch eine super Ausgangslage, um die Insel zu erkunden. Die Roller oder das Taxi bekommt man auch gleich im Hotel.

We initially only booked one night because we were unsure due to some of the bad reviews. But we ended up staying for 4 days because the place was so beautiful and calm. The accomodations and pool were both pleasently clean, the food was good, and the staff was very keen to help. This was a really nice change from the busy city pace.

Right on the eastern side of the island with a sandy beach within minutes of the room. The hotel staff rent motorbikes, help book trips, and have us two bottles of water everyday. There is a pier right in front of the hotel with instant access to long boats for sea travel. There were a few ants that invaded the bathroom but they wash away easily. The only real drawback was that the room got a little hot during the day. But, a pool is on site to cool down if needed. A good place to relax and experience a quiet tropical island.

A magical stay above the bay! Set high on the hill with panoramic views over Phang Nga Bay , absolutely breathtaking. The private pool with its outdoor terrace was the perfect spot to relax, and the luxury tented villa was such a unique and beautifully styled experience. It was the ultimate place to completely rest and recharge. Breakfast served in the pool was a stunning highlight — like something out of a dream. And the best part? I actually saw hornbills right in front of my villa’s garden. Wow. Truly unforgettable.

The key highlight of staying here is the isolation and the private pool. It's like a private villa inside nature with a beautiful view of the islands. The staff is very polite and offered our breakfast to be delivered to the room with a floating table in the pool. We also ordered in room service dinner which was very nicely delivered.

This Tented Camp is a great place to stay if you are looking for something different than a standard hotel. The views and nature are really amazing & helps you to disconnect from work and digital life. The private pool and the floating breakfast is just an amazing experience to share with your partner. The staff is very helpful and friendly, I really recommend this place to anyone that would like a new experience.

The locations is absolutely breathtaking, splashing around in your own private pool, enjoying the peace and some good wine. Just complete feeling of calm surrender. And the sunrise nowhere else - you can follow the sun from the tiny redline in horizon and follow it through all of its fases. Sweet and friendly staff always ready help.

- Exceptional views towards the Bileh Archipel Marine park - Hideaway in the nature with full privacy (ideal for honeymoon couples and long married) - Spacious tent with private pool: very nicely equipped, very clean, tastefully designed and furnished - just out of the ordinary - I liked that we were able to enjoy the phantastic beach, pool and restaurant of Koyao Island Resort (the two locations belong together) - We had a magnificant breakfast served to our private pool - Right next to extra luxuary resort of Six Senses, but with very affordable and fair rates - they care a lot about environmental friendliness - we liked the free available bicycles, kayaks and SUP's

This is a stunning luxury villa. We had a perfect family gathering for Christmas. The villa is extremely well appointed, modern, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Bedrooms were large and comfortable, all with en-suite. Great pool and outdoor lounging area. Quiet location with stunning views to the east, with just a short walk down to the beach. Several very good cafes and restaurants close by. Mhee, the manager was excellent - communication before we arrived was very thorough, arranging our transfer from the airport which was seamless, meals cooked at the villa for our first two days were first class, great excursions, top restaurant recommendations, and seamless transfer onwards. All the other staff were lovely and so helpful - house keeper, driver, and cooks.

We had an amazing stay at Villa Diva Star! The location was very cozy and quiet. Perfect for a relaxing stay for enjoying the weather and surroundings. There was also a very good restaurant within walking distance. Our host, Areeya, was excellent and helped with transport, food and answering questions. She was always available and ready to help. We would recommend renting scooters to explore the island (In our opinion, a must-do), which Areeya also helped with. Air-condition, toilet, TV, wifi, kitchen, pool were all fantastic too. In the future, we hope to stay at this great location again.

it was an absolute amazing villa with a large and excellent pool including jacuzzi. all the rooms are beautiful decorated and spacious. there is a very large garden and several spots to relax. Besides the villa one of the best things is the freshly made breakfast. And a big shout out for Mhee, she takes care and can arrange of everything! From transfers, massage, cooking class, etc. thanks you so much Mhee🙏🏼

The villa had everything we needed. All the facilities are well maintained. Rooms are huge. The pool is great and the garden around it looks amazing. The best resort we had in Thailand. Price is accordingly. But I think it worth it. The staff is great. Always available and with a smile. I hope to return one day.

Well equipped villa in a great location. The bedrooms were spacious and each had their own bathroom. The pool and gardens were beautifully kept and the views were outstanding. The house manager, Areeya, was helpful and accommodating to all our needs. The breakfast each morning was a wonderful luxury.

I don’t usually take the time to right hotel reviews, I am a frequent traveler and have been to many fancy hotels worldwide, I can confidently say that my stay here has been the best I’ve ever had, it’s a peace of heaven on earth, if you ever want to disconnect from the chaos of life and relax, this resort is the place. Frame and her team took great care of us, housekeeping comes twice a day, we booked the lagoon pool villa and it was sparkling clean, everything was comfortable and convenient, their breakfast is great, the beach is nice and clean, the pools are spacious and calm, they have some activities everyday which I recommend checking (sunrise cycling, cooking classes, etc). It is located on an island where not much can be done, but you really don’t need to leave the resort as everything is available and the staff there is always there to make sure nothing is missing, the worst part about the hotel was leaving, we stayed for 5 days and I can say it wasn’t enough.

From the moment we arrived at Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas, we were transported into a world of serene luxury and natural beauty. This island retreat is the definition of tranquility, nestled between lush greenery and the crystal-clear waters of the Andaman Sea. Arrival & Warm Welcome We were greeted with genuine smiles, refreshing welcome drinks, and a seamless check-in experience. The team made us feel like honored guests from the very beginning, setting the tone for a stay filled with thoughtful touches and outstanding service. Our Sea View Room – A Dream in Blue and Green We stayed in a beautifully appointed sea view room, and waking up each morning to the panoramic vista of the ocean was truly magical. The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and designed with a perfect blend of modern comfort and Thai elegance. The balcony was our favorite spot – ideal for morning coffee or evening wine as we watched the sun melt into the horizon. Dining Experiences The culinary offerings were exceptional. The breakfast spread was extensive and catered to every taste – from fresh tropical fruit and local Thai delicacies to international classics. Each restaurant we dined at delivered both in flavor and ambiance, especially the seafood dishes at the beachside grill and the sunset dinners by the water. Activities & Spa Whether it was kayaking through mangroves, a sunset boat cruise, or simply lounging by the infinity pool, every moment felt like a postcard come to life. The An

Koh Yao Yai - is underdeveloped island still; Anantara Resort has Beautiful surroundings and a stunning facility - no doubt! the kids pool is also a fun feature but - although the staff is friendly, the service provided by this resort does not quite meet the 5-star standards expected. for example, receiving coffee capsules took almost an hour after requesting them in the morning. additionally, the food is overpriced and not particularly noteworthy. unfortunately, the restaurant service is quite slow, with food often arriving 40 minutes after being ordered, and sometimes even cold. this can be especially problematic for families with young children. The Stuff is received directive to try and charge the guests as much as possible- and every step you do on the resort- the try to sell you something; we do not mind to consume- but it has to be done a little bit more subtle..... also - a little bit more attentions to the guests - offering an umbrella when raining ,etc...... that being said- Anatara is still great and lovely; we are sure they will be gradually improving their services also in this resort;

Beautiful scenery and hotel. We came during a rush holiday season so it seemed like staff could not keep up …tables were dirty from overnight and there was a garbage smell in main pool

We spent 12 days at this resort, and it was fantastic. The personell was amazing, always very friendly and went out of their way to help us. We spent the entire trip travelling around the island, seeing everything it had to offer, and took different trips to see the Elephants, the sunset, monkeys picking coconuts, meeting lots of local people, all very friendly and helpful. We felt very safe everywhere. The hotel and its facilities were superb, only thing that could have been good was a little shop to buy some snacks and sunscreen etc. But we rented a scooter and got what we needed in nearby shops. All in all an amazing holiday in the most amazing surroundings. Will recommend both Koh Yao Yai and Anantara to everyone.

Quiet, peaceful place to stay with stunning views from the terrrace & private pool in Villa 1. The team are lovely & the food is great!

Purana is a wonderful place to stay for a private holiday. Our transportation was very complex. We were arriving after the ferry to the island stopped running. They arranged private transportation for us. A taxi was waiting for us at the airport and took us to the boat. Seamless! When we arrived they acted like they were waiting just for us. They sat us down with the best welcome drink and were so incredibly friendly. Our villa was #8 which is up a steep hill, but they always took us by golf cart. So beautiful! It’s worth the money for the view and private pool. They arranged all excursions and took us to a beautiful restaurant on a hill with a 360 degree view. I would highly recommend staying at this beautiful resort!

The bungalow was small but well appointed. The staff was nice and the food was very good. I was very disappointed that the beautiful views and the pool I saw on the photos of the property were not part of the deal, as they belonged to a private villa on top of the hill. If you have the money for those go for it! The garden view bungalows were not worth the money I payed for them as there was no pool, no view, no restaurant, no beach......and for that it was way too expensive! It was on the other side of the island 15 min drive from the other hotels and amenities. Short walk to a non swim beach and a restaurant. The boat tours arranged through the hotel we’re also twice the price of the other hotels......

The staff was professional, friendly, and extremely helpful. The location was beautiful. The water was warm the pool amazing the food was great. The bar and the Yoga deck was a bonus

Stellar service at an equally glorious resort~ Breathtaking views from the pool villas and a feeling of privacy / exclusiveness unmatched around the island. Will definitely come back~

Villa Lydia & its staff goes above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. This is more than just your average villa booking- they pick you up and drive you to the villa free of charge where there's welcome drinks waiting for you, and you can order your breakfast for the next day from an extensive menu. They also offer to cook you dinner and have many options for traditional Thai dishes. We enjoy cooking so we opted to cook our own meals instead-the kitchen is fully stock with everything you need, including juicers & blender etc. The villa is huge and looks exactly as the pictures. The view from the villa is amazing, and the infinity pool is lovely. Villa Lydia can also assist you with organizing tours, book ferry tickets or arrange an in-house massage in the villa's Bamboo Spa ! Overall, we just loved our stay in Villa Lydia and would be back again in the future.

this was by far the best house I’ve stayed at! the villas was Perfect and beautiful. they helped us with every single thing from pick up wherever we were in Thailand to the boat to the private van and dropped us to the villa. everything was unbelievably smooth and I literally did not have to plan or worry! the staff were the friendliest and helped us with everything including daily breakfast. island hoping was arranged and any other activities we wanted was just a text away. they even arranged a massage for the 6 of us in the villa by the pool area! they drove us anywhere in the island for free too! I’m so extremely grateful and truly privileged to have the opportunity to stay and experience Villa Lydia! thank you for everything and we will be back soon!

Outstanding!!! Best place we ever stayed and we've been to a lot of places! Service was more than perfect, especially from Dua! We loved the pool so much and appreciated the fine wine they already provided. It was the perfect get a way and whenever we come back to Thailand, then only to this place but much longer! Thank you all so much.

The hospitality and the overall beauty of the property was excellent- the rooms were stunning but the outdoor dining and pool area stole the show so beautiful and truly a wonderful stay

Alex and the rest of her team were absolutely wonderful! Our needs were attended to, including room service and food from the on-site restaurant. I loved the breakfast which allowed us to mix and match breakfast items with what I would consider to be lunch and dinner items. Every dish we ordered was truly delicious! The villa was breathtaking, with a small swimming pool accessible from the downstairs bedroom and the deck. We visited during rainy season, so the pool was pretty chilly! The design of the villa mixed traditional and modern elements which provided a homey timeless feel. The location of the property was pretty remote, but transportation and excursions were available. The beach was very close by and was perfect for a morning jog. All in all, this property is perfect for travelers looking to get away and leave the hustle and bustle of life behind for a few days. I have absolutely no complaints and will try my best to visit in the future!

Villa Thalanena is everything you need for a relaxing and savoury holiday! Me and my friend spent 7 nights here - and we could easily have stayed 7 more. The villas are such a feast for the eye and we really appreciated the perfect, cooling pool for morning and after noon baths! We have been treated as two queens the whole stay. The staff really spoiled us; fantastic breakfast (try fresh vegetable juice and pancakes), very tasty thai food (in addition to some italian dishes), fresh coconut at the beach, after noon tea at the villa etc. To all of the staff at Thalanena: thank you so much! Btw: A private long tail boat trip to Hong Islands is highly recommended. We will be back!

Like all other reviews, the villa was beautiful, modern and perfect for a weekend getaway. If you book this villa be prepared to spend most of your time at the compound itself. Travelling to krabi town on your own is expensive as the hotel will charge you around 600 to 800 baht per trip. This applies to Ao Nang as well. Of course they offer free shuttles on certain days so plan your stay to include those. There is only one restaurant at the compound offering thai or western cuisine. You pay a little premium for that. Extra 10% service charge for food delivered to your villa. Overall, the villa is perfect for couples/families to enjoy the weekend together lazing by the pool and snacking. Not forgetting the four legged friend we met there, Wella.

Villa Thalanena--是我们甲米-兰塔行程里的第一站，也是此程三家酒店中最让人觉得舒适的酒店。选择Thalanena是因为它的设计，同伴们都非常喜欢简单/以落地玻璃为主的酒店设计，阳光透过玻璃晒进来，到达酒店的那一刻，完全跟照片里一样！ Thalanena里的一切都让人觉得舒心，从我们到达酒店的第一杯welcome drink开始，每一个细节都让人如同回家的感觉。check in之后Alice把我们带到公寓里，客厅-房间-阁楼给我们介绍并告诉我们房间用品及细节，餐厅里的用餐时间等等。每一位入住的客人都一张welcome drink的小纸张可以随时去点上一杯饮品（房间里的饮品跟小零食驱蚊水都是免费提供给客人的，我们吃了一些下午出去了一会，回来便看到工作人员已经帮我们又补充了,非常的贴心！）必须提到的是这里的早餐，西式/泰式/亚洲口味一共有10种可以供客人选择，闭上眼点一款也不会让人失望。尤其是fired noodle with vegetable/ 跟一款日式的米饭，四个小碗分别是米饭/蔬菜/汤/小菜，味道非常适合亚洲人的口味！此外还有各类自助式饮品面包水果等可以供选择。第一天我们便让工作人员帮忙预定了日落餐厅，因为路程有些远，酒店便直接送我们前往。大概一个半小时的用餐时间，我们才发现，原来送我们来的司机竟然一直在外面等着送我们回去（这件事一直都让我们觉得很内疚，但是也非常的窝心，因为位置有些偏远如果让我们自己回去一路都会让人觉得有些怕）司机是酒店里的工作人员，他知道我们还没有买到sim卡，回去之前开车带着我们去找买到了才开始回去。出发前做酒店预订时就非常担心地区问题，Thalanane会离中心闹市非常远。到达酒店那一刻，确实也发现了路程比想象中还要远一些，而且附近只有分布着少数的民宅，如果晚上想出去走走，基本上不太可能,因为周边太静了，但是非常适合喜欢幽静的朋友。三五知己或者是情侣，在这里你们不会被打扰到。坐在小花园里小酌，或者在公寓里把玻璃窗全部打开。幸运的人可能还会巧遇小动物（我们在房间的小院里聊天小酌时巧遇了孔雀/蜥蜴/小松鼠/懒猫咪)。不远处也有沙滩，退潮之后会干净一些，酒店也有一些行程可以参加,并且会安排很好。酒店仅有八幢房间但却不会被打扰。这里的价格确实比闹区的一些酒店要高，但是当你身临其中时就知道都是值得的。如果你也是喜欢简单/细致的装修喜欢幽静想要一个舒适的私人空间度假，强烈向您推荐Villa Thalanena. 如果你喜欢热闹的地方可以选择先住闹区，等到旅程最后两天留在Thalanena,一定不会失望的！

This hotel is simply amazing! From the incredibly welcoming staff to the fun and creative architecture of the place. It is the place of you want a relaxing getaway without the crowds of and the convenience of having it all at a short distance. I can’t wait to have the opportunity to come back again!

I stayed in a private room for a whole week on this island. It was absolutely lovely. The facilities here are clean, comfortable, and Preeya works her ass off every day to make sure everything is running smoothly. Breakfast is healthy and delicious (perfectly fried eggs, fresh fruit, toast, coffee and tea etc), and you can rent bicycles or scooters directly from the hostel. I opted for a bicycle as it is cheaper and the island isn't too big. You can easily get around by bicycle and get some exercise to boot. The location is right in the town which is very convenient if you want to be near the 7-11, and there are loads of places to grab coffee and food around, local market and local stores, everything you need is right there in the town. Just be aware that, in my opinion, the more desirable area of the island is on the eastern side, so you probably want to rent a bike if you do stay here so you can get to the best parts of the island, but it was literally like a 10-15 minute bike ride and then you're there!

First things first, the owner is just the most beautiful soul I’ve ever meet. She makes you feel like at home and helps you with everything you need! She cooks fresh breakfast every morning and even pack it if you’re in a rush to get the ferry!! Everything was super clean and got fresh towels everyday! I wanted to rent a bike( not motorbike) and she arranged everything, in about 10pm I got my bike! Also for the ferry ticket to go to phuket, I told her where I booked my hostel and I didn’t need to take care of anything else! Perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful island! She gives you al the tips you need and even explain you where the better spots are to see the sunset. I couldn’t recommend any other place to stay, it was absolutely perfect in all the ways!

There is a reason this place has the best reviews we have ever seen on booking.com. The rooms are immaculate, spacious and comfortable. The breakfast every day is amazing, you can make your own toast and coffee and Preeya will cook you eggs if you want them. But where to start with Preeya! Not only is she the most attentive host we’ve ever met, she is also an absolute angel of a person. My boyfriend and I were involved in a motorbike accident and I panicked and phoned Preeya and she was there within minutes and helped us through the whole thing, translated for us, comforted us and spent her whole afternoon with us basically. For that I can never repay you! Thank you so much. Ps - There is an amazing restaurant across the street selling the best food we’ve eaten in Thailand so far called earth and plants!!

Preeya is super nice! She pretty much organised everything for me (motorbike, island trip, transport to railay, even wanted to help me with the laundry). She also gave me a lot of advice what to do on the island and around. She even took her time and came with us to the pier when we rented a boat just to make sure we find the right boat for the island trip! When I left she even gave me a little Souvenirs as a gift ❤️ The bed were super comfy with curtains so you have your own privacy :) Also the hostel is a very nice place to meet other people, since it's really nice located in the center close to the 7-11. Also I can recommend you to have a walk down the street since there are quite a few nice shops :) Thank you Preeya!

Preeya, the host, is a lovely person who ensures that all her guests are accommodated above and beyond the expected level of service. The price was amazing value - with the pier also just a 100 baht (per 2 people) taxi journey away. The location is on the main market street meaning there are plenty of food options nearby. To allow us to explore the rest of the island, Preeya helped to arrange a scooter (only 250 baht per day) which gave us great freedom to go wandering. The breakfast was prepared for the time we chose the night in advance (2 options - western style with fruit and eggs / toast or a local option). Preeya is a great ambassador for the island and was so helpful in giving us information and helping us move about the island. We would highly recommend!

We were treated with courtesy and subtle friendliness by all the very professional staff who work at Nakamanda Resort. We felt that we were part of a family rather than guests. The gardens are a slice of heaven and have many water features on the stepped terraces that lead around the resort, between the Bungalows and to the beach. It is not a suitable property for those guests unable to walk or navigate lots of steps. The Bungalows have outside Porch seating areas, drying racks and tiled floors. Internally large with comfortable bedding and feather pillows; sofas; tv; tea & coffee facility; bath with separate rainshower; 2 sinks. Bathrobes and slippers are provided. Nakamanda Spa is AMAZING and we spent a lot of time in there as the treatments were fabulous! The swimming pool is large and long enough to swim lengths. There is a smaller waterfall pool than guests can sit under or for the use of non-swimmers and children. The Restaurant overlooks the pools and the beach and serves great Thai food, curries & a few sandwiches or burgers. Happy Hour cocktails twice each evening..... hic! The sea comes straight to the resort wall at High Tide. There are Canoes for use by guests and Long Tail Boats for Island trips (charged separately). A 7 minute walk along the beach brings guests to casual beach bars with great food. We had such a great time that my husband has already put aside his dates for returning in 2018.

We had a wonderful experience staying at Nakamanda Resort and Spa. The hotel is not too big, which suits us, you do get to know the staff and they are all so friendly and helpful. The view from the pool area is beautiful, being right on the coast is such a treat. The tide does come and go quite a way from the bay, when the water is in you can kayak around the little island that is there or go for a swim in the clean water. When the tide is out you can walk over to the island and see the different varieties of crabs in amongst the rocks. There is an outdoor pool for having a swim and cooling off too. The food is good at the hotel, there is a choice of Thai or 'western' food, everything we ordered was delicious. There are eateries along the beach, or in both directions along the main road when you leave the hotel and there are other hotels along the same strip that are happy to have you join their restaurant for dinner. Thai massage places are dotted all over, and a 'fancy' spa experience is available at the hotel. We had quite a few massages at the local places, they're not so glamorous but we were delighted with the treatments and the price! We found the location to be perfect for us, its not too big and as we went a little off season it wasn't busy, but there are still places to walk to away from the hotel and it is only a short 20 min taxi ride into Ao Nang if you want to experience something a little more lively. Overall we would highly reccomend!

Where do I start??? I came here with my husband for my honeymoon and i absolutely enjoyed every minute staying here!! From the moment i entered this resort till the day I check out the ambience, the service, the location, the vibes and everything else was just perfect. I really need to congratulate all the staffs here as they are by far the most humble staffs that I have come across.. The way they always greet the guest, they way they attend you and the way they follow the instructions is amazing.. They have decorated my room beautifully, the room was big and spacious for 2 pax, they didn't fail to do room service everyday and the best part is they do it within a short time before we come back from our buffet breakfast.. I stayed here for 5 days and each day they had different menu for the breakfast and I have also tried their lunch and dinner menu which was just fine but a little pricy. The spa was also relaxing and the pool was big, also there is a beach at the pool front so if you are planning for a very relaxed vacation in Krabi then this is the spot for you...

We came here 7 years ago and had a great time. Our repeat visit was again lovely…. We had few grumbles. Nakamanda is a good choice for us.. Lots of repeat visitors we met feel the same. The location on the beach is fantastic, the pool deck is a really a nice place to hang out with a decent bar/restaurant attached. There are plenty of bars ands eats within walking distance. Rooms big and well-appointed if a little dated. We enjoyed seeing the monkeys wandering around the grounds. One big moan, the lack of control of smoking around the restaurant and pool. No apparent rules led to a free for all with arguments about people lighting up cigars even. A designated area would help. Special mention and thanks to Mut who kept our glasses full with iced water and adjusted the parasols as the sun moved (I know) and also Rorra in the spa who Mrs star raved about. Thank you everyone.

The initial welcome from the staff was first class - very genuine. Made us feel like royalty! This wonderful customer service continued for our entire 5 night stay. All the staff are extremely polite and well trained. We spent our days sight seeing and ate out for lunches and dinners so our only meals at the resort were breakfast, and the breakfast buffet was first rate. Being low season, there were only a few people staying at the resort so we often had the pool all to ourselves. The beach is OK at low tide but very little sand at high tide. The long tail boats anchored on the far side of the small cove create a fair bit of noise from time to time, which spoils the ambience of the pool area and restaurant area. The scenery around Krabi and Phang Nga Bay is just spectacular. We highly recommend Nakamanda Resort.
