Sprawling from the water up the hill on Haad Yao's northern end, Bay View Resort's best feature is the large, fancy swimming pool with its waterfall and good-sized sun deck. The basic fan rooms are clean and solid but provide little more comfort than average rooms elsewhere, and the beds are a bit too firm. The larger air-con rooms cost a good deal more but are very spacious with high ceilings, satellite TV and minibars. Large private decks also provide excellent views. All in all, though the rooms here are not as luxurious as the pool and the prices would suggest.

Avoid. - 30th September, 2007
Really overpriced, especially if you go for the fan rooms, which don't even have mosquito screens, or decent bathrooms. The place is full of faked yes sir/no sir friendliness and is really just the type of the Kho Phangan doesn't need. It's ironic that the most expensive place is on the dirtiest part of the beach where you wouldn't really want to swim. You'll get better, cheaper at the other end of the beach.
