I had high hopes for my stay, especially since it was a special occasion, but ended up quite disappointed. While the views from the room had amazing potential, the overall experience felt overpriced for what was offered. The room was clean, but not as luxurious as I expected, and I encountered some serious issues with the spa bath, which marred my experience. On a brighter note, the breakfast was enjoyable and most of the staff were quite friendly.

This resort is a hidden gem on Koh Yao Yai, perfect for those looking for a peaceful getaway. The staff is exceptionally attentive and caring, which makes for a fantastic experience, especially if you’re feeling unwell. The rooms with private pools are breathtaking and provide great value for the price. However, the only downside is the limited breakfast selection and a lack of English TV channels.
