Yao Yai Beach Resort

Peaceful beautiful stay. Pure luxury. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Sweetest people I have ever met. Breakfast buffet included with many choices. Also just a quick walk down the beach to the little village gives several choices of eating places and shops including 2 good massage places. There is also massage and meals offered at this resort. You may not want to leave your room or balcony they are so beautiful and with a view of the sea and passing fishing boats

Really nice resort directly at the beach. The rooms are clean and huge and the tiny pools are really refreshing. The people working there are quite nice and helpful. They provide Kayaks and SUP that you just can take . At the beach you can get a massage and book tours. The food in restaurant ist good, but the prices are high. In the town you pay half the price. For breakfast you can decide between 8 different huge plates with a variaty of food for 250 Bath. Since we have two small kids, it was easier to go to the Royal Yao Yai Beach Resort an have breakfast at their buffet for 300 Bath per adult and 150 Bath per child.

First of all, this place is absolutely stunning! From you arrive at the resort, whether it is from the peer or the harbor, you will be amazed! Keeping to traditional Thai architecture, through out the entire resort. The beach wide and nice, depending on the tide, and with one restaurant at the beach and one on the top of the mountain, you can take your pick! The resort is placed on the mountain side, and while you can have fun running the roads connecting the resort, the shuttle service is flawless, and you will be picked up in minutes. Sometimes, especially around breakfast and dinner there can be some wait if you are in the middle of the route. We lived in a villa, and wow o wow! Being the unspoiled view over the Andaman sea - wow, whether you are in the pool or in the bed, you be blown away! This resort has the opportunity to become a true gem! But it has one huge flaw - the restaurants. The resort has several restaurants, yet they all have the same menu, or should I say menu's as there are 3 or 4 of them for you to go through. With the size of resort, there could easily have been different themes for each place. so one could try something different. Now imagine have ordered the food, and your sitting in these amazing surroundings, and then the club music starts at max volume.... that was unfortunately the experience most days. Had it been a hotel where most guests were there to party I can understand, but this was mostly families and couples. We found a savoir in Isaan Fine #2, a small walk away. On the positive side, the buffet was really good! Very structured, and with amazing food. So do try that when visiting! And I will also say that I was truly amazed by the people in the breakfast restaurant, as one day the power was out, and then made a perfect breakfast for all the guests, using the lights on their mobile phones!
