Ko Yao accommodation from NZ$100

Great place to stay. I enjoyed it. Wonderful location.

Beautiful resort, staff are friendly, polite, professional and helpful. The resort has the private beach access but quite rocky (but also still can swim and do snorkel). So many activities to catch up whole day and everyday. Happy hour applied to many resort's bars from the afternoon daily. The resort is 15 mins drive from Patong main area. You need transports to travel between hotel to other places (highly reccommened to rent a car or motorbike as taxi services are expensive).

We were a family of four with 2 ocean rooms next to each other and had a great stay here. The rooms were large with a huge bed which could be split to make twin beds. A little on the hard side but they put a thin quilt on top to make it softer from the second day. I would say the rooms were dated somewhat and are in need of a refurb but to be honest everything is in the right place and with so much space and the view you forget about the old furniture and bathroom. The pools were great and clean with plenty of loungers available. Bar staff, drinks and food were good - what I would have liked is for the staff to be walking around rather than having always to go to the bar but we were ok with this. The beach is on your doorstep which we loved, very clean and beautiful with security staff on hand at the hotel entrances. The only 2 negatives were that check-in felt rushed and our room at 6.45pm was not ready for about 15 mins. Also the buffet restaurant was not great quality food, breakfast here was not the best with limited veggie options and slow refils. Just fyi we used 'Grab' taxis rather than those from the hotel - these were cheaper but we had to catch them up the road as the hotel / local drivers did not like the grab taxis. Overall an excellent stay but some little things could be improved.
