• Not too bad

  Its location is near the beach and the main street leading to the railey west and also where all the shops are located. For the price, the room is nice enough for a short stay with clean floor, bed and towel. Do not expect too much for the toilet, the water may be brown during rainy season. Much better than the other accommodation up on the hills for the same price.

• Nice enough place to stay

  I paid 550B for a double fan room here, but from speaking to other people I think the prices vary a lot and can be negotiated. The room was quite nice and airy, comfy bed, quiet, and definitely no problems with rats and cockroaches that I'd heard about! Very difficult getting up and down the stairs with a big backpack. The bathroom was quite damp with no sink. Reception staff were friendly but service in the restaurant was awful and the food more expensive than similar places elsewhere along the beach. They show a film every night though which is nice if you want a quiet evening.

• Think Again

  Although cheap, YaYa is not worth the few hundred baht you save. I was on a budget and wanted to be close to my friends who (after one night at YaYa) immediately moved to the resort next door, so stuck it out for 5 nights, but spent as little time here as possible. The rooms are simple, and clean enough but the service at YaYa resort is appalling. The staff here were miserable and it was reflected in the way they treated their customers. Although the food is ok in their restaurant it took ages to get a waiters attention (they were more interested in the loud action movies which are shown on the big screen every night). If you are on a budget I would reccommend the bungalows in the highland area between Railey East and Tongsai before recommending this ''Resort''.

• our stay oct/07

  i found ya ya ok for the price which was also higher than quoted here.we stayed 6 nights.we had 2 double rooms on the ground floor.900 bt each in off season for fan rooms(not air-con).(i think all prices are rising in thailand as tourism is picking up again from tsunami).fairly clean.no musty smell or ants.shower was quirky.after shutting it off,it started to spew scalding hot water for a few seconds.we just got out real quick to avoid 3rd degree burns.beds were comfy.we found desk staff very friendly and helpful.the male restaurant staff were outstanding.very happy and helpful.there was construction going on most days but it did not bother us.the location was the real dissapointment.east beach is a rocky mud bar.quite ugly.so we had to walk to west beach or monkey beach.about 300m.well worth it.fabulous.ya ya is in the middle of the pack for accomadation on railay.we saw cheap dirty bungaloes or high priced resorts with pools etc.i would stay again at ya ya.

• THE WORST

  Pictures show a beautiful resort: actually it is nice from the outside but the inside is the worse I have ever seen in my career of travel journalist: rats, roaches, extremely dirty: the shower is not working; you have to flush by hand your toilet. if you are upstairs after a ladder stairs you haver rats or if you are grounf floor you receive all the excrements of above toilets in yours .........had to take pills to sleep at night to wait the night comes by....worse service . tried to charge for 2 extra nights will see on my invoice if they did not force the credit card. if i did not pay in advance i will have run away in a second

• Poor service

  I've just stayed at Ya Ya Resort earlier this week, and found that the rooms are a lot more expensive than quoted here, we were charged 2300 THB per night for a double A/C room, which wasn't even clean when we checked into it. The food in the restaurant was OK, but the service absolutely terrible, I've stayed in a lot of places in Thailand cheaper than this, and had much better service. Obviously this place gets a lot of business as its one of the first resorts you come to off the boat at Railay East, but if it continues like this, it certainly won't get any return visits. I've also just noticed that the updated Lonely Planet Beaches and Islands have dropped their listing.
