Hotel I love! Although it is a little far away from Phuket, it takes about 50 minutes by boat, but the environment on the island is really good, and it is very quiet, which is very suitable for vacation. The hotel is basically full of European and American tourists. We also talked to a couple from Germany. They said they were repeat customers. They especially liked it, so they went on holiday again. There is a big swing on the beach, it's super popular! There is also a small swing in the room, and it is a pleasant time to take a nap on it at noon. The restaurant has to add a service fee. The overall price is a bit expensive, but the portion of the dish is large and it is on the island, so it is normal for the price to be a little expensive. There are Thai food and Western food. I think the taste is very good and delicious! There was a singer at night, and the atmosphere was great. Overall very satisfied, I have the opportunity to take my parents back again!

Such a wonderful spot and lovely hotel. The beach is beautiful, we enjoyed lazing on the loungers overlooking the water. The pool is large and the simple water slide is fun to try out! There's an easy flow between the beach, pool and hotel with pleasant areas to sit and enjoy the view.

We had a great stay in a Garden Villa - beautiful, clean and comfortable Villa. Loved spending time on the patio, the hotel even delivered us dinner one night to eat on our private patio. Breakfast is delicious with lots of options. The staff is very welcoming and accommodating. Beach bar is cute with chairs to relax and enjoy an afternoon or evening cocktail. Location is the only potential downside to be aware of - most restaurants and sandy beaches to swim and spend time on the beach are on the east side of the island. If you are comfortable motor biking which we are, it wasn’t a problem to motorbike 15 minutes across the island or into the small town. You can rent a motorbike directly from the hotel. But the location is quiet and beautiful!

Ninaa is just an awesome host! very welcoming, friendly, any question is super easy to solve and it’s pleasant to talk to her. The same as with people surrounding her. I would stay more, but it was fully booked already, people love this place, simple and cosy, wooden houses, calm courtyard hidden in trees.

We are so happy we chose to stay at SAM SAM and Koh Yao Noi! This hotel is a unique experience, full of beautiful art, kind and attentive staff, beautiful grounds with views of the surrounding jungle hills, and tucked away from the rest of the town. Each villa/suite seems to be incredibly private which I think is hard to find in other hotels. The basics are covered: breakfasts were delicious, beds comfortable, great AC, everything you expect from a nice hotel, but there were many extras as well! From the nice gym to the dojo to the scooter and bike rental to the table tennis, and more including many experiences. They booked all of our travel from our previous hotel in Phuket, to our next hotel in Krabi. It’s nice to feel cared for like this! We will be daydreaming about Koh Yao Noi and our time at SAM SAM until we are able to return again! Highly recommended!

Very suitable for couples to come to the island, quiet and private, the pier has a special pick-up arrangement, about 50 minutes on the island, the scenery is very good, a little sea Guilin feeling, most of the island is foreigners, few people and quiet, watch the sunrise in the morning, beach party at night, tree house feels good, The service staff is warm and thoughtful, Western breakfast, coffee ☕ is good, dinner can enjoy traditional Thai food, while eating and watching the sea, in short, it is perfect! If you must say that the disadvantage is that the beach texture is average.

The hotel is a large complex intended for a large (Chinese) clientele. It is very well located with direct access to the beach and close to small restaurants. The rooms are pleasant, clean and well maintained. As the Chinese clientele has not yet returned since Covid, the services are rather average due to a lack of staff who are nevertheless very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is very average and there is no possibility of lunch or dinner although the dining room is huge. Ko Yao Yai being renowned for being wilder than the rest of the islands in the region, it is not surprising that the tourist take-off is late and life seems ”in slow motion”.

Having not being able to travel to Asia for almost 2 years i was happy to take part of the ”Phuket Sandbox”. Lots of paperwork to do, but all in all it worked well. BOOKING. I booked direct with the hotel. I was offered a good price and they were answering all my questions fast and friendly. Also they were very helpful informing me about the rules and changes for the Sandbox. ARRIVAL The booked SHA Plus Transfer from the hotel worked well. Check in was fast and after a long flight i was just happy to get to my villa. ROOM/VILLA So spacious. I booked a 1 bedroom Villa, But became a villa with 2 bedrooms. Large and comfortable living Room with a fuly equipped kitchen and a large refrigirator and fridge. Well assorted minibar. Bedroom with a very comfortable double bed. Bathroom with bathtub and shower. I had a small issue with not having hot water but it was fixed immediatly. Large terrace with table and 4 chairs, 2 sunbeds and a swimming pool (6 x 3 Meter). Villa was clean and terrace/garden well maintained. SERVICE All the staff were sweet, kind and friendly and very attentive. The very friendly italian manager is always around FOOD Not many guests in the hotel so no full breakfast buffet, but you could order eggs any style. Some fruit, cereals, coffe and tea- One morning the manager asked me if i missed something for breakfast. I said maybe some muesli and yogurt. Well next morning it was there. Perfect. I had often dinner in the restaurant. Food was so tasty and well presented. And at very reasonable prices. They do serve both western and Thai food. AREA/SURROUNDINGS Paklok is not a typical tourist spot.It is a place where people are living. No beach, Not a shop or restaurant on every corner. But many possibilities to enjoy fantastic street food. Easy to get in touch with local people. Many supermarkets for all your daily needs. You do need a car or a Scooter/Motorbike. Nature around the hotel is stunning and beautiful. I rented a mototbike from the hotel and made many trips to beautiful locations in the area. I never missed the noise from Patong. ALL IN ALL If you are looking for a peaceful and luxurious accomodation with good service and food i can highly recommand Boutique Resort. I also did enjoy the beauty of nature and the feeling of being in the real Thailand and not just in noisy tourist area.

It was a very nice place to spend our stay on the island. The owner took loving care of her resort and was always ready to help. The food was also very good. The rooms are clean and inviting with insulating curtains. We would come back.
