Beautiful setting and very high class. 10/10 for cleanliness and facilities B and her partner were very helpful as were the rest of the team

Everything. We stayed in Mai Pai Cottage, which was absolutely perfect - spotless clean, comfortable, luxurious, with a private pavilion and a great pool (for two villas, but feels as a private one). Food is simply delicious and hosts are amazing. It exceeded our expectations and we would definitely go back again. Thanks a lot George, Bee & Ryan, we had a perfect time.

We loved Ko Yao Noi island and our stay at Kayao Bay Pavillions. The setting of our accomodation was superb set in natural surroundings and close to nature. Our villa was luxurious, comfortable, spacious, extremley clean and well maintained. The villa was equiped with everything we needed and more ! The location of the private pool was a highlight. The menu in the restaurant was extensive offering Thai, European and Street Food the best food we had in our entire stay in Thailand. The management team of George, Bee, and Ryan were amazing hosts and made us feel very welcome. They were always avaliable to help and advise but never intrusive. All the staff, cleaners, grounds staff were friendly, polite and helpful. We would like to give a special mention to the waitresses who were exceptional and to the chefs who provided delicious meals throughout our stay.

We thought the breakfast options were very limited considering the price (booking included breakfast). The whole breakfast menu was this: There was one juice - orange Coffee with ( cow milk only) Fruit plate (very tasty) Home made toast (the toast was great) Eggs scrambled, fried or omelette Thai soup French toast

The accommodation was beautiful and the service was very friendly and competent. We particularly liked that there was no children in the beach villa areas. The restaurant was also fantastic and we had several excellent dinners there.

The beach by the Pavilions was a little disappointing, in that is was small and not that attractive. Swimming was only possible at high tide periods (with a monthly listing of the tides provided in the room guide) due to coral and rocks. The water was also somewhat murky, so snorkeling was out. We would recommend renting a scooter so that you could easily visit some of the other beaches that were rather nice and fairly empty (when we were there in early March).

The Pavilions are about a 10 minute walk from the main road, so we took most of our meals (except for Wednesday, when only breakfast was available) on-site. The food was very good. We took the breakfast option, and had a choice of continental or Thai, each one had two or three options. Lunch and Dinner menus did not change, but there were lots of choices so we wouldn't get bored. There were some options that needed to be ordered in advance (special prawns and fish), but we didn't try those. We can't say enough good things about the staff. George and his wife Bee, were extremely gracious hosts, and Ryan (the GM) was on-hand when we arrived to show us around. He was just superb in arranging transportation, mountain bikes, and having kayaks ready for paddling to a nearby island or beaches up or down the coast. We had cocktails regularly and they were quite good. We had fun talking with Khun Bee about wine and her choices were spot-on. We stayed in the Beach Suites (adults only - as the pool is deep and without a lifeguard) that were huge. There is a separate outdoor lounge pavilion with sitting areas, hammocks, coffee and tea, and a desk area, with a ceiling fan and floor fans. The bedroom area is huge, ample closet area, and an outdoor shower and dual sinks. The two floor fans were enough to keep us comfortable at night (no AC).

We loved everything : beach, suite, restaurant, team. I cannot recommend enough to stay at Koh Yao Pavillions. The location is great, the warm welcome from Georges and Ryan has been much appreciated, and the kindness of the restaurant team is so inspiring. Koh Yao island is nothing more than everything we love : remote, quiet but still with lively places here and there, untouched in some parts. We lived the dream for the 7 days we stayed over there. Special mention for the quality of the restaurant. Best food we've eaten in Koh Yao Noi.

There’s not much to not like! I can’t think of anything

The villa we stayed in was utterly beautiful, the beds were so comfortable and the private pool was used constantly by our children and ourselves, the restaurant area had a lovely warm and cozy feel to it and was very welcoming, the beach that the property led onto was deserted most days and was so much fun to watch all the crabs run across it. The water was lovely and we had the best 5 days

The beach villa that we booked was nothing short of amazing. Attention to detail and cleanliness was impeccable. The location of this resort was literally a stones throw away from the beach. Staff are friendly and most importantly our hosts George, Bee and Liverpool were always there to see that our needs and comfort were always met. While there my wife fell ill. Bee took such good care of her thank you. This stay was a real treat as I was surpring my wife for our anniversary. Can't wait to return to this beautiful place again someday.

Sometimes a bit too close to nature, with animals finding their ways to our bathroom. No AC in rooms, so you have to rely on the fans provided. The family villa is a bit far from the beach. Very few hooks to hang towels in bathrooms.

Awesome place next to the beach - feels like you are in the middle of nature just with very close food and super super helpful staff. The food in the restaurant was really really good. Free kayak to explore the sea and nearby island. Amazing surroundings. Very big rooms.

Georges and his team went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable from beginning to end. They organised transfers, mountain bikes and kayaks for our use. Our villa was well appointed and the private pool amazing. The restaurant staff and food was excellent dine in or take away.

Loved it all :-)

Beautifully designed and equipped mini villas in a stunning location, with a fantastic on site restaurant made sure our stay was incredibly relaxing. No request was too much to ask, instead it was arranged in a heartbeat. If only all hotels could be this effortlessly efficient, warm and welcoming. All the best bits of a luxury resort but personable because it’s run personally and not part of a chain.

It was all great!

The perfect escape with beautiful, comfortable and peaceful accommodation. Our hosts were friendly and on hand to help with any of our needs. The staff were also great serving us a delightful breakfast daily. The location is great with lots of bars and restaurants nearby plus activities and excursions available from the hotel.

That we had to leave …

Lovely villa in a lovely location, access to beautiful beach and lovely views. George is very helpful and can’t do enough to make your stay good. The food at the restaurant on site was the best we had in the whole of Thailand all cooked from scratch with fresh ingredients. If you want to chill out this is the place to go

Our experience in this hotel was amazing, best place we stayed in Thailand. The architecture is beautiful and very carefully designed. Pictures of the rooms do not do justice to this place, is much more beautiful in person. Bee and George are amazing hosts. Would 100% recommend this place and I hope maybe come back in the future.

Everything was perfect: the pavilions on the beach front are tastefully decorated, the garden is charming, the location is the best on the island, with calm and serenity, far from touristic areas, the restaurant cuisine is exquisite and above all the kindness and friendliness of the hosts is infinite. I wish I could stay longer.
