Ko Yao Yai Budget Hotels from RM74

"An Unforgettable Stay – A Living Masterpiece. Absolutely breathtaking. From the moment we arrived, we were transported into what feels like a living work of art. The hand-carved wooden architecture is unlike anything I’ve ever seen — every beam, doorway, and sculpture tells a story. It’s not just accommodation; it’s an immersive experience in craftsmanship and design that left us genuinely speechless. We stayed in one of the large pool villas, and I can’t recommend it enough — it’s completely worth the upgrade. The views were stunning, the privacy unmatched, and the feeling of being in a luxurious forest sanctuary is unforgettable. Special thanks to Sarinna at check-in, who made our arrival so smooth and welcoming — her warmth set the tone for the entire stay and c,out The staff overall were outstanding, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely kind. While the food was good, especially the fresh grill menu, it could be elevated a bit more. That said, the setting is so remarkable that food becomes a secondary concern — you’re too busy soaking in the beauty around you. There was one room service staff member who seemed consistently grumpy, but in a way it became a bit of a running joke for us — it added character to the place rather than taking anything away. From start to finish, the experience was flawless, deeply inspiring, and unlike any other. I left with a sense of awe and admiration for the incredible detail and effort put into every inch of the property. "

"Experience was great from the moment we exited our airport transfer. Check-in process was good, the welcome drink was refreshing and perfect for a hot day, and their cookies at the reception was delicious. The room was clean, spacious and welcoming. They provided us with a bag that was really useful for bringing to the pool or beach. Service from the housekeeping team was prompt and easy, all requests can be made via their app. There were more than enough loungers by the pool and they have floats available for lounging in the pool as well. "

"One of the best resort experiences of my life. Please ignore the negative reviews! The staff was great, the property is gorgeous, and the food was excellent...especially the Thai restaurant. I travel often and highly recommend this place!!!! "

"Great family hotel. Beautiful pools, great staff and amenities. Central location and 5 star restaurants."

"Hotel was beautiful and the view of the ocean is amazing. The entire staff was very friendly and welcoming during our stay. Location nice to be away from the main strips but close enough it only took a short taxi to get there."

"Very family friendly property and close to all amenities. Breakfast was great. "

"All staff were extremely friendly and helpful . A very pleasant and comfortable stay. The bathrooms could do with more lighting,but everything else was superb."

"Don’t think of another place, just stay here. Amazing personalised service, the staff knew us after the first couple of days. Currently undergoing renovation but we never felt it, amazing through and through Special staff especially Du (who always had a smile on his face) and the whole buggy team, Pla and the saffron team, and our housekeeping staff member Suchada (K. Poo) Private pools are great, lots of free shuttles to nearby shopping, beach clubs, far enough from the other side of Phuket but still close enough if you want to experience it We spent 9 days there and honestly should’ve easily spent 9 more, we will be back in a few months "

"Excellent hotel , nearby everything that a guest would enjoy, good amenities and friendly staff "
