I don’t bring a family of four to Indochina every summer, so when planning a trip across a couple of countries, and different kind of experiences, I felt we couldn't miss a week in a dream resort on a Thai island, in the Indian Ocean. It took me a while to pick up one but, honestly, choosing this place turned out to be one of the best travel decisions I’ve ever made. Maybe I’ll start with the family villa we stayed in: just wow. Spacious, luxurious, both modern and traditional at once. It made us feel truly special, completely immersed in a lush, tropical environment. Then the infinity pool — merging seamlessly with the sea, with the stunning view of the Hong Archipelago stretching across the horizon. The food deserves a highlight, too. We spent a few weeks across Indochina, and this was, hands down, where we ate best. Every dish — Thai or Western — was excellent, and the restaurant itself a lovely setting. And the service: having traveled in many types of accommodations, I can say I’ve rarely been treated with such kindness, care, and quiet professionalism. A word about the island, too. I didn’t want something too remote, so I chose a place still part of the Phuket area — meaning accessible and with plenty to do — but far from being overcrowded or overly touristy. Maybe the rainy season helped with that a bit: we traded the occasional short shower for a much more peaceful atmosphere and... no regrets at all with that! One of many highlights was the excursion organized by the resort: picked up directly on the beach by their long-tail boat, we explored a bit of the nearby archipelago national parks — including Ko Chicken and other islands — for a pitch-perfect tropical sea adventure. And exploring the Ko Yao Noi island itself with the Resort's scooters was just as rewarding, from quiet villages to beautiful, hidden beaches we had almost to ourselves. An amazing experience — and one I’d wholeheartedly recommend.

Nothing

Beautiful setting, the few wooden villas were spread out and nestled within the palm trees looking at the beach. We went in January so not busy at all and very relaxed, but still warm. A muslim island but alcohol was still available at the bar and restaurant which both shut at 10pm. Staff were really accommodating with every request we had and so polite and friendly. We had three villas, two down by the beach in the main hotel area and an amazing villa tent in the adult only area up the hill, a short buggy ride away. Unfortunately there was building work quite close on a neighbouring property up the hill but the staff moved us to down to the main area with no fuss at all. The villas were exquisite and so luxurious, it was a real treat!

I can’t complain about anything really except that the restaurant never seemed to have the crab salad!

The location was fantastic, the staff adorable, the villa's lovely, a beautiful quiet resort, a little paradise !

Our villa was not isolated, there are many opening to outside in the roof so in the evening the room was completely full of mosquito's. Luckily there was a mosquito net and that did help !

A complete escape into paradise! The view over Phang Nga Bay is absolutely breathtaking , with a long private beach and lush green gardens all around. The villas are incredibly spacious and beautifully designed, making you feel like you've stepped into another world. It’s the perfect place to de-stress and truly reconnect. And the food? Simply amazing. Every meal was a highlight. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a true reset.

This place was very quiet and peaceful. The food in the restaurant was fantastic and the staff extraordinarily friendly and helpful. There is the possibility to rent bicycles, stand up paddles and kayaks for free. The garden is immaculately maintained and looks like it belongs on a postcard. The infinity pool blends into the horizon so that you get the feeling of swimming in the sea. There’s a beautiful lounge on the beach at night where you can have drinks. Besides the hotel guests the beach is mostly empty. The bungalows were spotless, well equipped and feel like your own private little island home. Best breakfast we had in Thailand so far.

Beautiful setting on a lovely beach. Peaceful and spacious gardens. Very nice restaurant setting. Great views across to the islands

There is a mosquito problem at this hotel but in fairness to the hotel, they do manage this in the rooms with a smoke, netting and electronic swatting system so initially we were a little perplexed but actually we got into the rhythm of living with this and we didn't get bites.

The staff there are so helpful and friendly.

There were a few guests that were quite pompous and arrogant towards staff. If you’re reading this before you stay there, try to be kind.

Damn near everything was fantastic. The tent was private, relaxing, and romantic. Tons of space, spectacular view, wonderful private pool. Super responsive staff, catered to our every need. Spa was hype. Excursion staff was phenomenal, island discovery tour was out of this world. Very secluded and quiet. Great small island.

Dining room area was swarming with mosquitos. Could’ve been solved with a couple of fans or more effective insect repellant. The outdoor showers water was scalding hot, unusable (the water pressure was also abysmal). We had to resort to the indoor tub with a shower hose. There was no shower curtain in the tub so we had to sit down. Shower water was also visibly brown half of the time. Not many beach lounge chairs. Food was kind of disappointing, especially the floating breakfast. Good pest control at the room, but there was a dead centipede and frog that were sitting outside our tent the entire stay.

I loved our room right on the beach. I think we had the best cabana! Loved sitting on the porch right on the beach. The food was so good and the restaurant faced the beach. Very relaxing. Staff were great.

The bar was not open until noon and off to the side and out of sight. I love a bloody mary or mimosa with breakfast while on vacation. I think some of the stuff is outdated and needs updating like the pool and chair cushions. The pool was not very inviting.

The location was great with outstanding views that changed throughout the idea with the lighting. The gardens were beautifully kept and the infinity pool was great.

I thought the villa was a little too basic to justify the price. We have stayed in many basic beachfront places before that have been basic and come with all the basic expectations but they were priced accordingly. Breakfast was good but the lunch/dinner menu was very uninspiring and we ate out both days. Apart from that everything was perfect.
