YAO Yai Beach Resort

Wunderschön gelegen an einem sehr schönen Strand. Wunderbar ruhige Umgebung. Ich habe hier (im Hotel nebenan) nicht geschlafen, sondern gegessen und die Massage in Anspruch genommen. Ich schreibe diese Rezension, um Leute, die planen, hier zu bleiben, zu warnen, dass sie bei einem Strandspaziergang auf das Glas im Meer achten müssen, das jeden Tag angespült wird. Bei jedem Spaziergang habe ich eine Tüte Glas und Müll mitgenommen, vor allem aber Glas. Der Müll liegt weiter unten auf der Straße. Die 3 Hotels, die nebeneinander liegen, reinigen für das Hotel, aber es wäre eine gute Idee, beispielsweise auch einmal pro Woche den Müll wegzuräumen, der weiter entfernt liegt. Eine Verschwendung des schönen Strandes, wenig Aufwand, um Mülltonnen abzustellen, nicht einer, der am gesamten Strand zu sehen ist!

We were picked up from the ferry terminal without any problems, as soon as we arrived at the resort it’s absolutely beautiful and right on the beach! Easy checkin with friendly staff, we had beachfront villas which were spotless and clean and plenty space with gorgeous views of the sea! We decided to stay another night and this was no problem and made very easy to do ( can’t remember his name but was the one who picked us up and dropped us off at the port) was fantastic and sorted everything out for another nights stay! We are here in the evening right by the beach, food really good and lovely staff! Rooms cleaned daily! Would highly recommend and we will be back

Really good! The view on the beach is really good we have the beachfront room villa with big pool. The beach is nice the people is nice there are not that much tourists. The food is good. At the bar and restaurant you get as guests 10% discount there is a minimarket for like beers or sodas around the corner.

Never before that I have slept so close to the beach like this. Time seems to stop when we were staying at the Yao Yai Resort. We relaxed on the peaceful beach all day. Lazily, we ate. Food is really good, especially seafood. All staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are in reasonable prices, so are dishes. Strongly recommend. Not to be missed !

It’s a good location. But I would not stay here again. I could talk about abusive management threats and lack of service and poor description of rooms. I could mention old furniture. Outdated fixtures and so on. Or I could just point to the fact that there are other choices. I suggest you take those.

I booked the hotel with some friends and my partner. Booked a two bedroom room. One bathroom in the entire room and it was an en suite so if you were in bedroom A, you had to walk through bedroom B to get to it. Not only that, but the bathroom door wouldn't even close and was in full view of the toilet so none of us were comfortable. I asked staff if there was anything that could be done and not only did they laugh in my face but threatened to report me to emigration for simply bringing the issue up. I have no issues with my passport or visa so it is not a genuine concern they could have had, but simply a way to try and lord power over me and threaten me to shut the eff up. Cannot warn people enough - THIS IS NOT A SAFE PLACE TO STAY.

We booked a two bedroom boat villa. It is two bedrooms. And one is en-suite. So the second bedroom has to walk into the first bedroom to use the bathroom. And walk through the first bedroom to get in/out. It gets worse. The shared bathroom door is see through glass (can’t make this stuff up) and the door won’t close. I kid you not. I explained my issues to a staff member - who initially laughed and joked. And said that’s how it’s done here. He also said that if I looked at the photos I would see the room layout. So I did. And it didn’t show the layout. I pointed this out - and he said - that’s what the owner told him to say. This place is a hell hole. The restaurant service sucks also. And the food is mediocre at best. And the main courses arrived 20 minutes before the rice. And one of the dishes we ordered never came. And the windows don’t lock. Stay somewhere else. This is a nasty cheap worn down place that charges as if it’s a 4 star. It’s a one star. At best.

Party of 4 staying at a nearby resort but found it lacking in food choice and extremely expensive. Walked 100mtr down the beach and found Yoa Yai Resort. Decided to eat evening meal there and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Decided to check out the rooms for any future visits and we all decided we would book this resort on our next visit. Pricing was significantly less expensive for arguably better food and service albeit probably not the exceptional views from the resort we were staying in. Only reason 4 star and not 5 is we never actually stayed in the resort
