We had 4 nights in the main Koyao Island Resort, then moved up to 9 Hornbills for 3 nights, which worked really well for us. Contact during our booking process was excellent and the front desk were particularly helpful, arranging our transfer to the next hotel with no fuss (when the hotel we were moving to were less than helpful). The views we'd enjoyed down in the resort just got better up the hill at 9 Hornbills and the pool, privacy and sense of space was exceptional. The tent was huge, light and bright and the private pool was bigger than average. There was an outdoor shower and a roll-top bath with shower attachment inside the tent bathroom area. Aircon did the job. It was cool enough in the morning, evening and through the night when you need it. It did get hot in the tent during the day, but this wasn't an issue as we were outside all day and you could just cool off in the pool. You are certainly away from it all up here, but that's literally the whole point. We walked to the main resort for breakkie or when going out for dinner (12 mins easy stroll downhill) and got the golf buggy back up. Jaw-dropping sunrises from our bed or the pool and one evening, we watched the most dramatic storm from our covered deck, seeing the clouds roll in to obscure the karsts completely for a time, before the rain thrashed down around us. We sat out under cover, drinking our Singhas and taking in the thunder and lightning show - it was amazing to watch from up a height. The main resort was peaceful, beautiful and clean, with one restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner and a spa, where I had really excellent oil massages (inc air con and a big comfy bed with a hole for your face to allow the brilliant therapist to work her magic on tight shoulders). The staff were all friendly and helpful, remembering our preferences and talking with us each day. If ever anyone didn't understand a question, they would quickly go and get a staff member who did, always with a smile. We had dinner at the main resort twice, both very good Thai meals and plenty of choice on the menu. The rest of the time, we ate in local places. There's a small bar/bottle shop 5 mins walk if you turn right outside the main resort, serving very cold beer in coolers, where we sat and watched the locals come and go before dinner. It's just before a small supermarket (Chans) which sold all the essentials and ran a very popular scooter hire. P'Chans restaurant wasn't open while we were there (but still shows on google maps). There are more places to eat and drink 10-15 mins walk if you turn left outside the main resort (or you can walk along the beachfront, in which case turn right from the resort). The hotel would happily take you to any of these in the golf buggy, but we prefer a wee walk. We never had a bad meal and enjoyed Parabar (boat shaped place - massive portions, great curries), Chubba cafe (for an arty, hippy lunch or coffee and cake or a shake), By the Sea

If you want the most delicious food in Thailand - this is the place!! We had beef massaman curry and chicken with cashew nuts and both were exceptional - best meals in 3 weeks of travelling Thailand! Home cooked authentic food with fresh ingredients ! Would eat here everyday if possible - don’t miss it if on Kia Yao noi

We were looking for the perfect tropical island, a paradise with few tourists and village-life. We finally found what we were looking for in Koh Yao Noi. The locals of Koh Yao Noi were some of the friendliest we had come across in Thailand. For a country that’s full of welcoming, warm people, that’s really saying something. Then it was Dan’s Koyao Retreat and the great host. Sin and the ladies took such a great care of us. It felt like we were staying in a home. Luckily we were alone during our stay. They offer three villas tucked away in the greenery, a private pool with a fantastic view and is visited by all kinds of birds, including hornbills. There are a handful of great restaurants and a beach at walking distance, and scooters and bikes are provided to explore the rest of the island. Service includes breakfast and afternoon tea, and they can organize fantastic massages, other meals and activities on request. We travel a lot and this is the best place we´ve ever stayed at. We will never forget the sunrise, the sounds and the views, the atmosphere and the warm hospitality. We will be back.

Il miglior hotel in tutta la nostra visita alla Thailandia. Ci siamo trasferiti in Villa 2 con la piscina infinita e le viste più incredibili. Sumai, e gli altri membri del team sorprendenti non potevano fare abbastanza per noi. Ci siamo trasferiti 4 notti e potevamo stare molto più a lungo. Abbiamo ordinato diverse volte dal ristorante e l'accento era il curry verde e il roti del pollo, delizioso! Il resort guarda una spiaggia che non è adatto per nuotare, ma abbiamo assunto un scooter per esplorare, e abbiamo trovato alcune bellissime spiagge dall'altra parte dell'isola. L'isola è ancora molto insolita, quindi è stato bello visitare e apprezzare i villaggi e il campo. Abbiamo anche fatto un viaggio a barca a vela privato che abbiamo organizzato attraverso l'hotel. Sumai e la squadra si sono alzati presto e hanno insistito per portarci un colazione e pranzo con noi. Ci siamo sentiti molto attenti dall'inizio alla fine e sicuramente ci accerteremo di visitare la prossima volta che viaggiamo in Thailandia.

This hotel lives up to it's name, absolute paradise! It is so peaceful and relaxing with many activities on offer if you want. The daily yoga on the beach was a highlight! The food at the restaurant was lovely and the staff were very friendly. The buffet breakfast had everything you need and more. One small thing to know is that it is very remote, so if there are any snacks you would want, you might want to stock up before you arrive.

Il personale è stato incredibilmente gentile e amichevole, sempre pronto a assistere con la prenotazione di viaggi di barca e a fornire informazioni utili sull'isola. La stanza che abbiamo soggiornato era enorme, offrendo spazio per le famiglie con i bambini, che rendeva il nostro soggiorno comodo. Uno dei punti di vista è la piscina privata nella nostra villa, completa con una doccia all'aperto tale lusso! Nonostante il senso del premio della villa, il prezzo era molto ragionevole. Questa combinazione di lusso e affidabilità mi fa volere di tornare in futuro.

We had an amazing experience at this wonderful resort since the moment we arrived. We traveled with another couple. The Resort arranged our pick up from the hotel we stayed in Phuket , and took us to the marina for the transfer in a long boat directly to the beach in front of the resort. The cabin was exactly as described in their web page. The view from our cabin was beautiful, we could see the gorgeous bay in front of us with the impressive mountains. The Resort was quiet and relaxing. And all the staff were super cordial and friendly. Piano was in charge, coordinating everything to our satisfaction. What an amazing manager, always super diligent with a smile on her face ! Soot was in the restaurant and bar overseeing to all our wishes, and giving us tips. The rest of the staff was super nice, respectful and friendly. We never saw the cleaning crew and everything was clean and fresh around the resort and in our cabin. We had an amazing shower area outdoors. It was great! The only thing to be aware is there is not a key when you are out of your room. The cabin stays open. They have safes in each cabin thought. But we felt like we were visiting friends, safe, happy and relax. Because we were there in low season there were not too many guests. We were lucky because there was not rain, at least during the day. All the ladies in the spa were great. Our friends and us had massages every day. It was awesome!! We ate at the Resort restaurant every day except one night that we went to a local restaurant. The food was delicious. Some of our favorite was the local fish and the papaya salad. We tried almost everything in the menu. We rented a Motorbike with side car and did drive around the island. Everybody is so nice around this small island. We visited the market to get some of the great sauces and local spices recommended by the restaurant chef at the resort. We did some shopping to get souvenirs and had a blast taking pictures and driving around. Piano offered us the amazing experience of stay our last night at their glamping area in the mountain. It was a beautiful luxury tent with incredible views to the bay and a private pool. We loved it! We would love to visit again. Thank you so much for the great service you all provided us and the great memories we all made. ขอบคุณ Lilia Salazar

Posto incantevole e fuori dal tempo, dove trovare tranquillità, serenità e scrollarsi di dosso lo stress quotidiano! Complessivamente ottima accoglienza e ottimo servizio. La particolarità della struttura sono le villas: semplici nello stile, ma curate nei dettagli e dotate di tutti i confort. La loro dimensione verticale - dove al piano terreno c’è la piscina privata e un bellissimo salottino all’aperto, e al piano superiore l’ampia camera da letto - è qualcosa di veramente unico. Colazione al buffet estremamente fresca e curata con inclusa la possibilità di ordinare alcune specialità alla carte. Molto piacevole anche il ristorante Roots per la cena. La collaborazione con l’hotel Paradise (struttura sorella con cui condivide diverse infrastrutture) permette di variare le proprie cene/pranzi presso i loro due ristoranti in spiaggia. Consigliatissimo!!!

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Villa butler was excellent and really worked hard to fulfil our requests. Food was fantastic at every hotel outlet. However, we did experience some villa food service issues which we did not quite understand the logic behind the menu which we ordered to the villa. Room were nice and bedding were very comfortable with choices of pillow fillings
