Travel reviews for Koh Yao Yai Village
Date of stay: Jun 20, 2011
Accommodation and facilities:
Auf Kog Yao Yai ist es sehr ruhig.
Wer Ruhe und Einsamkeit sucht ist hier sicher richtig. Die Infastruktur ist noch nicht weit ausgebaut ( kaum Taxis und Restaurants )Alkohol wird in der Regel nur in den wenigen Hotels der Insel verkauft.Das Resort liegt Nahe der Ringstrasse in einem Tropischen Wald. Toller großer Pool. Bungalows sind völlig ausr.(zweckmäßig)eingerichtet. Strand eignet sich leider nicht zum Baden. Hotel ist für einen Kurzaufenthalt o.k

Accommodation and facilities:
Very nice hotel. The rooms are very nice and spacious, with the outside part and outdoor shower. Clean and well kept. I didn´t miss a thing.
The poolarea are fantastic. The beach just beside the pool are nice but rocky. Just a few places you can walk out and bath. We never swom in the sea during our stay.
The only negative about the resort is the restaurang. There´s no wrong with the food, but it takes very long. One lunch we waited one hour for our food and we were all alone. We learned to order lunch to the poolbar so that you can lay in your sunchair waiting. Then it´s great. In the evening the have, besides the a la carte menu, different buffes every night which were over expectation. Breakfast was good.
And the spa, excellent experience but almost twice the price as in the other hotels we stayed during our Thailand trip. But then it was more exclusive than the other. Still worth the money. For example 1 hour back & neck massage 700 bath + VAT.
The hotel is pricy when comparing to the mainland. The food and beverage prices are almost twice as expensive. But there is still way cheaper than home.
Note that all prices at the hotel (bar, food, spa) are exclusive of VAT. They add about 18% to your final bill.
The hotel staff are friendly, but not as helpful and kind as in many other hotels in Thailand.
Over all the hotel is very nice, I wouldn´t go there again but I would recommend it to others.

Accommodation and facilities:
We didn t have any good expectations for this place, and thought generally that the value for mony was going downwards for the hotels in Thailand...-but we were amazed. The bungalows was even nicer than seen on the picture and the facilities was beautiful. Normally i would never go back to a hotel, but insted visit a new place. But this hotel was so great, that i for sure would consider going back if i come back to Thailand.
Koh Yao Yai is a small island, and there isn t really anything to do but relax. But the hotel offers some different excursions, some even for free...!
The beach isn t any good, but the hotel offers free transfer to a nearby beach. The pool is great, the restaurant fine and not pricy, the staff are very polite and helpfull, the rooms are clean and bla bla bla...-everything was just PERFECT!
I can deffinatly recommend this hotel!!!

Accommodation and facilities:
It’s really a nice place to stay. Very good service. You don’t have that kind of party people like on koh phi phi. It’s an inland to relax and have a good time. It’s a really nice resort. But some things could be better. In the most good hotels you get wifi for free, but here you have to pay.

Accommodation and facilities:
Best accommodation on the Island. We visited most of the resorts by motorscooter and found Yao Yai Village to be the newest and best. Very nice bungalow rooms generous in size with a massive outdoor shower and covered deck. Theme was eco friendly with handmade wooden furniture and fittings. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The huge infinity pool and surroundings were the best I have seen. Restaurant was in the perfect location beside the pool, however menu choice was limited and the Thai food was not great. Would love to go back again and hope they have improved the food issue.

Very efficient
