The staff, food quality and royal villa with pool. The breakfast buffet had a great variety and items changed daily. Lots of fresh vegetables and fruit. The views from both restaurants are spectacular.
This place was absolutely incredible. The views from everywhere were stunning. Would absolutely stay here again. I didn’t explore much off the resort as I was only there for two nights and wanted to enjoy everything on the resort. Service was incredible, staff was so friendly and willing to help with anything. Everything was super clean too.
We came on our Honeymoon, we stayed 4 nights. Very nice hotel, everything was up to our expectations. The beach is quiet, with restaurants and bars around, walkable distance.
Only downside for us was the beach being too rocky, be careful when you walk, we had to go farther from the hotel to enter the water.
The breakfast buffet is good, with an amazing view. We tried the local restaurants outside they are a must try. Will go back for sure.

We were very satisfied with the hotel!! The staff were wonderful, and there was a wide range of activities to choose from during the day. The accommodations and the beach were absolutely fantastic. You truly feel well taken care of, a real Thai dream, and we will definitely be coming back.
Incredible resort in Koh Yao Yai! Had an amazing time, beautiful place and amazing staff. Would recommend this resort to anyone who wants to have a wonderful and peaceful break in Thailand.
Beautiful resort. A lot of attention to detail. Gorgeous buildings and obviously a lot of pride placed into it. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Lovely room and great bathroom and shower. Room was very clean. A great buffet breakfast with a fantastic view to go along with it.
Perfect stay of our honeymoon, the resort is on a quiet place of the island with fabulous breakfast and beautiful beach! Really paradise for couples and families who want to escape the daily life and relax. Also service was extraordinary good!
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, (almost) everything was great we did some run-in situations with communication issues with the staff and it wasn't between us it miscommunication with each other. There were a few times during our 4 day stay here that we were told one thing and ultimately that wasn't correct and we were brought back to be told something else and vise vera. It was a minor inconvenience until the last day that we almost missed our boat because nobody was on the same page.
AMAZING!!!! We loved everything about this hotel. The location, the restaurant, the service, everything! The room was my favorite part, it was super cutely decorated, very comfortable and spacious, and the views from the balcony were truly mesmerizing, especially during sunset time. Would love to be back!!
Been there once before and decided to com back. Just as nice this time. Ert good service and outstanding straff. Spa was the best couple spa we have visited. We will be back
Amazing pool villa with stunning views. A perfect place to relax

Exceptional and idyllic hotel. Excellent amenities. However, room 3102 is located on the lower level of the building, so the view of the bay is blocked by trees, which was very disappointing as I had dreamed of seeing the entire bay as shown in the room photos at the time of booking. In addition, strong sewage odors were often noticeable outside the door, which was a shame.
