I will genuinely never forget my stay at Yanui Resort. What a place. I was getting to a stage where I was genuinely questioning if I was ever going to leave or just continue extending and extending my stay forever. The room (I stayed on 2nd floor, not the Budget one, which also look nice) was beautiful. Perfect for a solo traveller, a couple or even a small family (if extra bed added). Fully stocked kitchen, large walk in shower, balcony with mountain and pool view, firm but very comfortable bed. Such a peaceful, chilled out vibe at the whole resort and from all the staff. Optional purple mood lighting in the room was a great surprise. Excellent lamb shank in the restaurant. The area is one of the best in Phuket. Rawai/Yanui/Promthep Cape/Naiharn is a vibrant magical wonderland and Yanui Resort is placed right in the middle of it. Yet, it remains very quiet and cut off from road noise in the main. A scooter or car is highly recommended otherwise one might struggle to get around the above places with ease.

Suggesting improvements would be very picky, as everything is great. But if I had to say one thing then the blender in my room (yes, there's even a blender - how good is that?) was a little dirty. Everything else was spotless though and I survived my stay despite a slightly dirty blender! Just book this place it's perfect.

Nice large room with kitchenette and kitchen supplies. Modern bathroom with great shower. Pool was nice and clean. The owner Gabriel and his staff were very nice and helpful. Love the fact that we could refill our water bottles at the cooler near the pool. The beach is a 10 minute drive away and the owner or his staff will take you and pick you up. Most people rent bikes to get around we but didn’t do that this trip.

The location was far from the ferry terminal and taxis are 220+ baht to go a short distance (less than 1km). There aren’t any sidewalks so walking into the are where the restaurants are was safer in a taxi or bike. The selection of restaurants wasn’t great and it’s not a super bustling area so if you want more things to do, best to stay in busier areas. It’s a quieter area and that was fine for us.

Nice resort in a quiet location (except the chickens in the morning) with a 7 eleven about 5min walk away and a 15 minute walk to Rawai beach. Rooms are simple but nice and clean. Staff were very helpful answering any questions and sorting out the complimentary shuttle service to Nai Harn beach, which was very handy to avoid walking in the heat. As well as this the water station to refill bottles and reduce waste was a good idea and meant we didn’t have to buy drinking water. There is also a restaurant on site that looked very nice although we didn’t try during our stay.

Mattress was very firm but think this is more of a personal preference so wasn’t too bothered by this as we only stayed for 2 nights.

Really liked this place, exactly what we were looking for during last few days of our stay in Thailand. Great big comfotable studio apartment in a small complex surrounding a really nice swimming pool. Located in a lovely quiet street away from all the usual noise and drama of Phuket. Staff lovely and really nice food served in restaurant. Small snorkelling beach located a 15min walk (or 5min scooter ride away) and lots of other beaches within scooting distance. Ended up extending our stay by a night and would have stayed longer had we not been at the end of our trip.

This is an exceptional, familyrun resort with a real comfy and intimate feel. The rooms are more like apartments, it was really great to have so much space, also as a couple, to have more than one room to spend time in is really valuable. The pool is gorgeous, in the middle of the building and can also be used at night, which is really awesome! The atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed, opposed to all these big hotel complexes with their anonymity (which tends to bring out the worst in people). The owner even offers a shuttle service to Nai Harn Beach, which he does himself free of charge - that is really very generous and sweet! The general style is a bit 80s and the furniture is a bit outdated, but that didn't bother us at all, since everything was very clean and comfortable! We felt very much taken care of and we really loved our stay at Ya Nui Resort!

At breakfast you have 8 set menus to choose from, if you are used to buffet breakfast, the portions and variety might be a bit small. Also the coffee is unfortunately not good - that said, it is really difficult to find good coffee at Phuket hotel breakfasts :-)

Very clean and well run. Gabrielle, the owner, makes sure all guests are taken care of in any way possible. The staff was so kind and helpful. Off the beaten path. No noise. All the rooms open up to a beautiful tropical pool. The traffic is manageable so scooter rental is easy for within a couple of miles and grab for longer distances. Wonderful menu at the restaurant with lots of selection and the kindest ladies that run it. We will be back.

Nothing

Huge sized bedrooms, lovely grounds and amazing swimming pool. Breakfasts were good, staff helpful and located in a quiet but nearby location to Rawai/Ya Nui and surrounding areas.

If I’m being super picky, the shower pressure was low and all round furnishings were a little outdated.

Comfortable rooms. Nice balcony to relax in the shade. Helpful staff. Lovely cats and dogs around. Convenient to have the bar /restaurant at the resort. Refillable water station a real plus. Pool is clean and nice to cool off in. Shuttle service to Nai Han beach is great and owner generously offers to drop guests at other locations. A smaller beach is also within 10-15 minutes walking distance.

Rooms looking a little tired. Some staining on the living room furniture. Water pressure a little low in the evenings. But fair for the price paid.

We booked 3 rooms which are more like apartments- so very suitable for a longer stay. The rooms were clean and each had a terrace overlooking the pool. The resort is an oasis of calm and the pool area is beautiful. We ate in the restaurant twice and the food was lovely. The resort is a short walk to the main town. Would definitely return.

Fine room for the price and we all got to stay together. The pool was nice. AC worked ok The restaurant area was good for the kids - I wouldn't have minded something more local but realised this is hard to get in Phuket. The kids enjoyed the boring Western food. They also did nice room service too which was appreciated.

One of the kids got locked in the bedroom and panicked because the door mechanism jammed and had to call the owner to fix. The TV stopped working on day 2 (aerial problem) Beds quite hard
