Yao Yai Island Resort

Great sunset views

What we say:

This is one of the few beaches on Ko Yao Yai that's good even at low tide, and all the rooms have at least a sideways view of the water from their front porches. Unlike the places on Ko Yao Noi, because of the western exposure here, you'll actually get to enjoy the sunset. The bungalows are good and atmosphery, with charmingly eclectic wood furnishings -- they don't aim to be posh, but they are more than adequate for an affordable getaway to what is, after all, a pretty remote and beautiful island location. The air-con bungalows are in the same design and come with fridges. They aim to attract couples and honeymooners, but they also draw in families, especially those with older kids. To get you out here, they run a boat leaving daily at 10:30 from Tian Sin pier in Phuket. The owners operate it at cost, currently about 1,500B round trip per person, less for larger groups. So, yeah, it's a lot cheaper to take the ferry.

Great food

Be aware that they do not honour their promotion unless you book online, even though the website does not say this. Basic bungalows are good. Really good food, but a bit pricey. The other place I stayed had nicer bungalows for a lower price and a more beautiful view from the beach as well as a longer beach.
