My stay at Yao Yai Resort was truly a mix of beautiful experiences and a few hiccups. The resort is nestled right on the beach, and the secluded atmosphere is perfect for relaxing. The rooms are decent, but the dining experience left something to be desired. Overall, it's a lovely escape if you're looking to unwind, but just be prepared for a few bumps along the way.

This hotel is set in a serene location right on a quiet beach, perfect for relaxation. The villas were unique but a bit kitsch, offering a standout sea view. However, the dining experience was below expectations, and the service from the staff left much to be desired. Additionally, be prepared for hidden fees that can add up quickly, making it feel less like a value for money.

Our stay at this resort was a blend of wonderful experiences and a few disappointments. The location is stunning, right in front of a beautiful beach with breathtaking views. The aircon bungalows were clean and simple, but the service could use significant improvement and the dining was just average. Overall, it’s a charming spot with great potential, particularly for those seeking a laid-back getaway on a less touristy island.
