Ko Yao Yai hotel guide. Banyan Tree hotel in Ko Yao Yai, Ko Yao

"This property is in close proximity to a lot of shopping and restaurants and within walking distance. This location is not a quiet place so if you’re looking for peace and quiet try further away from all the action. "

"Very nice stay in a double pool villa. Efficient Check in/ Check out ( in the room), very efficient buttler trough whatsapp , room is big , clean, nice furniture, nice private pool and jacuzzi. Nice expérience ( barbecue inside villa, floatting breakfast in the villa, private yacht booking …) . 3 caviat: property is very big, you have private bike or buggy to call, beach club need to take a shuttle every 15min with 10min ride, lake or second pool not fully cleaned. All in all an excellent stay and memory."

"Stayed here twice sandwiching a trip to Kuala Lumpur. I repeat my comments from my previous review. I cannot rate this hotel to highly. It’s a beautiful setting on the beach. I think it has four swimming pools of course regardless of the facilities, the thing that makes or breaks any establishment is it staff. The people here are lovely and cannot do enough for you. The local resort of Kamala is only five minutes walk away and is a nice quiet strip of restaurants, bars and shops . No excessive noise , go go bars or being pestered . Ideal location for a family or mature people who like a bit of peace and quiet. However, if you want things a bit busier PATONG is only 15 mins away . I have been to Thailand probably 20 times over the last 40 years and this is my favourite hotel."

"This was surprisingly so much fun! The property is well maintained,the service is top notch, they went above and beyond to make our stay very special. The food is so delicious and the environment is so clean. Highly recommend this property for your stay."

"Great overall with super central location and friendly staff "

"This has to be one of the best hotels/villas in the Phuket area! My wife and I have stayed at many of the places here and this one blows my mind. The service is excellent and the island is a paradise!"
