Paradise Koh Yao (Koh Yao Noi )

Geraldine Walther

We had an unforgettable stay at Paradise Koh Yao Yai in a beautiful Deluxe Room with a stunning view and our own private plunge pool – pure bliss! The room was spacious, comfortable, and surrounded by nature, offering total tranquility. The service throughout our stay was excellent. A special thank you to Khun Faii, who was incredibly attentive and went out of her way to accommodate our wishes with genuine warmth and care. This is the perfect getaway for anyone looking to relax and unwind in a peaceful, natural setting. We can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel and would love to come back!

Nestled in it's own little cove in the far North of Koh Ya Noi is the beautiful Paradise Koh Yao. This was the 5th Hotel of our tour of Thailand and this hotel did not disappoint. We arranged a speedboat to the island through the Hotel which was simple to arrange and you get 50% discount for kids. It's a little more expensive than catching the boat to the south of the island then shuttling up in a taxi but convenience wise it's a No brainer. We opted for the deluxe plunge pool room which was stunning , our boys had a jacuzzi room which was a decent room but slightly underwhelming in comparison to ours. The hotel itself is built into a hill which essentially is the Jungle,so if you're partial to being bitten by mosquitos this should be factored in. Also in the Jungle they're are many creatures which make noises but that's all part of the experience. Breakfast is taken on the beach and is your standard thai buffet with a few little extra touches like lemongrass water and ginger and turmeric shots. Also Yoga is on the beach at 7.30am and 16.30. The beach itself is nice and the sea is tidal , when the tide goes out there's quite a few stones so bare this in mind, when it's high tide you won't notice the rocks or stones though I'd read a few reviews that said prices at the hotel were a bit strong. They are slightly dearer than other parts of the island but £9 for a BBQ burger and chips or £8 for a Pizza is not exactly going to break your budget . Happy hour is 5pm until 6pm and 9pm until 10pm where cocktails are 150 baht and a glass of wine 200 baht and you get to drink them with your feet in the sand and a stunning view of the surrounding islands. Whilst there we rented 2 scooters from Koh Yao Motorbike which were dropped off at the Hotel for us , we drove round the island and visited a few restaurants in other areas of the island which were amazing. The road outside the hotel as mentioned is a little bit rugged for the first 5 to 10 mins but then becomes a tarmac road. If you just take it easy on the off road part you'll be fine and there's hardly any traffic on the island and nobody locks anything up. On the road down we encountered Monkeys and monitor lizards and Hornbills. To sum up this hotel, its a little slice of Heaven located in a secluded spot where any stress you brought with you will soon fade away and you will realise you are truelly sat in Paradise

Absolute bliss. We’re midway through a 10 day stay after a wonderful week in Singapore. We’d usually rent a house/villa and never stay in hotels, esp not a ‘resort’, but this is perfection! The location (total privacy from the island’s other tourists), the rooms (we are in a sea view plunge pool deluxe), the food (such a choice) and the amazing staff, for whom nothing is too much trouble. I’ve read a few reviews re: “high”prices. That’s crazy! Don’t expect street food prices (it seems some people do 😂) but a superb dinner for two on the beach costing £50-60 is cheap. Would be twice that back home and I wouldn’t have my feet in the sand. In saying that, two could dine ver cheaply… a green chicken curry with rice and Pad Thai (plenty for two) with two beers would be under £20! What would I change here? Absolutely nothing. And I never say that.

Perfect vacation - we will be back! Our two-week stay was simply fantastic! We more than enjoyed our time. The food was excellent, all the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the services on offer left nothing to be desired. We were particularly impressed by the wide range of activities outside the resort - perfectly organized and simply unforgettable. We are already looking forward to coming back next year! Thank you very much for this great experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We could skip check-in informations as we already waited for the boat long enough (3hrs) but good organisation of the transfer from Phuket airport. Resort is nice, well maintained and always clean. Location on this private beach is great, not much people and pretty quiet. However color of water is kinda swampy so don't expect pristine water. We took private villa with jacuzzi and it was definitely worth the view. Restaurant was okay and good to have happy hours at the bar. Overall it was pricey so not sure we would go back. - very noisy kids at the pool so don't expect to chill there while the zoo is open. Should have one pool adult only or enforce some quiet schedule.
