Look out for the 4 (yes, 4!) happy hours that the two beach bars put on each day. Breakfast (included) was a major event and well stocked to suit all tastes. Yes, prices were a little inflated due to location but was certainly no worse than we found in other high standard hotels on the mainland. The restaurant serves some western food but the emphasis is on Thai food which was nicely cooked and presented. The beach is fine at high tide but is not swimable at low tide. The beach front is all sand and palm trees although loungers can be scarce when the hotel is full. The pool is one of the longest we have seen on our travels for a hotel, about 40m long (but only 10-15 wide). Friendly and helpful staff (95% are local to the island). ![]() The decor is more beach hut than boutique and this makes for a relaxing atmosphere. This highly rated resort is nicely integrated into the beach/jungle setting. We absolutely loved it here and hope to return one day.… If you want peace and quiet and a relaxing break then this place is perfect. I will be honest and say that if you are a 5 star Hilton person then this is possibly not for you. Staff were friendly and helpful and service was generally good. Buy your booze and nibble supplies here, cheaper than the hotel. In the village you will find some decent shopping and a 7-11 supermarket and several other large shops. I would not even consider a scooter, far too dangerous due to the condition of the road. This will be in a rugged 4x4 as the road is little more than a dirt road and very rough. If you like a drink and nibbles in the room the hotel will provide transport into the local village. There is a mini bar and wine fridge in the room which we thought was expensive even allowing for the supply issues. Large decked outside area with plunge pool and infinity view over the sea. Our room was spotless and in a beach villa style, a huge double bed in the bedroom with patio doors to watch the sunrise in the morning. Not really suitable for the less mobile but there are lovely beach rooms if mobility is an issue. We had a sea view room with plunge pool, a bit of a climb up about 30 steps. Getting here is a speedy boat ride with full safety equipment provided. ![]() Now iv'e got that off my chest let's get to the good stuff. Oh yes it is quiet and remote, exactly as stated in the brochures so don't complain about it. Some reviewers seem to have spent their time here looking for faults rather than enjoying the place. Sure there is a manager as you would expect, but not all decisions go through him. Staff do not answer to a 'big boss' as suggested. Sit back and wait a few extra minutes with a beer and admire the superb views from the beach restaurants. This is one of the reasons there are complaints about long waits for food. A great choice, from local dishes to pizza/pasta all served fresh, not mass cooked and kept warm. Food was good and varied and certainly not all fried. It is slightly more expensive, mainly due to the fact it is an island and fairly remote so transportation costs come into play. Firstly food and drink is not priced 5 times higher than on the mainland. Firstly I would like to debunk a few reviews critisizing the place. We recently stayed here for a short break as part of touring holiday and what a place it was. The restaurant offers a great variety of fresh seafood as well as changing buffets and a tasty a la carte menu. In this wonderful tropical setting you will enjoy outstanding Thai and Western cuisine. The main restaurant of the Paradise Koh Yao is nestled in a covered area among palm trees with additional seating on the open beach, looking out on the beautiful bay. The Pool Villas are just meters from the sea with a private pool and beach front garden. ![]() There are Jacuzzi studios and plunge pool deluxe rooms. They are spacious and private featuring a Thai style semi-outdoor shower and hollywood swing in the open sala living area. All of the exquisite rooms and villas are nestled in the tropical forest. The resort has 69 rooms, two restaurants and two bars. Koh Yao Noi is unspoiled, largely untouched, set in lush tropical forest with a wonderful remote feel. It's a laid-back and close to nature setting perfect to relax and unwind on the 400 meter private beach, in the tropical spa and while practising yoga and meditation. Paradise Koh Yao is away from the crowds, peaceful and quiet, only 1 hour from Phuket or Krabi, Thailand.
