During check-in the stuff member isnt professional and it have bad attitude also they are not strict by the time. The beach restaurant when i order it take almost 1 and half hour to recieve the food also the room twice the electricity when down. Overall poor service. However the place very good

All you can expect from an Anantara is there. Nothing less tha the best.

Great location and well appointed rooms. Service is classic Thai who are exceptional helpful and engaging. Resport is not that old so still very much in good shape (eg decking round the pool, tiles loose in pool area etc) minor but will need to be addressed. As we went in the off season there was low patronage - gret for us - but main restaurant (Pakarang) closed for lunch and dinner as a result. Reduces the viable options (not including pool bar/restaurant which closes approx 6) for dinner to two restaurants - not an issue generally but needs to be clearer on their website when booking. Watersports options reduced to SUP and Kayak. Agree with the no motorized stuff - but the odd hobie cat or small sailing dinghy would be good. Overall - a fantastic place Word of warning - if you have an early departure form Phuket - the private boat to get you there with an early morning surcharge is a BIG dent on the budget

Beautiful hotel on a spectacular beach. Really fun to arrive by boat. Make sure to visit Laem Haad Beach when the tide is out.

Excellent hotel, service, attitude, food, everything at the highest level. The transportation to and from the hotel is so excellent that the receptionist called to ask if we were okay on the way after we left the hotel. I really enjoyed every minute I was there.

I don’t usually take the time to right hotel reviews, I am a frequent traveler and have been to many fancy hotels worldwide, I can confidently say that my stay here has been the best I’ve ever had, it’s a peace of heaven on earth, if you ever want to disconnect from the chaos of life and relax, this resort is the place. Frame and her team took great care of us, housekeeping comes twice a day, we booked the lagoon pool villa and it was sparkling clean, everything was comfortable and convenient, their breakfast is great, the beach is nice and clean, the pools are spacious and calm, they have some activities everyday which I recommend checking (sunrise cycling, cooking classes, etc). It is located on an island where not much can be done, but you really don’t need to leave the resort as everything is available and the staff there is always there to make sure nothing is missing, the worst part about the hotel was leaving, we stayed for 5 days and I can say it wasn’t enough.

From the moment we arrived at Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas, we were transported into a world of serene luxury and natural beauty. This island retreat is the definition of tranquility, nestled between lush greenery and the crystal-clear waters of the Andaman Sea. Arrival & Warm Welcome We were greeted with genuine smiles, refreshing welcome drinks, and a seamless check-in experience. The team made us feel like honored guests from the very beginning, setting the tone for a stay filled with thoughtful touches and outstanding service. Our Sea View Room – A Dream in Blue and Green We stayed in a beautifully appointed sea view room, and waking up each morning to the panoramic vista of the ocean was truly magical. The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and designed with a perfect blend of modern comfort and Thai elegance. The balcony was our favorite spot – ideal for morning coffee or evening wine as we watched the sun melt into the horizon. Dining Experiences The culinary offerings were exceptional. The breakfast spread was extensive and catered to every taste – from fresh tropical fruit and local Thai delicacies to international classics. Each restaurant we dined at delivered both in flavor and ambiance, especially the seafood dishes at the beachside grill and the sunset dinners by the water. Activities & Spa Whether it was kayaking through mangroves, a sunset boat cruise, or simply lounging by the infinity pool, every moment felt like a postcard come to life. The An

Amazing hotel, the location is breathtaking and the staff cannot do enough for you. Perfect for families but also very romantic for couples.

Beautiful scenery and hotel. We came during a rush holiday season so it seemed like staff could not keep up …tables were dirty from overnight and there was a garbage smell in main pool

We're staying for 6 nights in this wonderful resort. We'have been perfectly hosted by our personal Villa host August, up on our arrival to the hotel pier until leaving. At any time we have a fantastic stay during these days and can highly recommand Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas. We will be back for sure. Thanks for all.

Stunning almost new hotel on a pristine white sand beach. Our suite was very spacious and had beautiful sea views. superb for a quite relaxing holiday.

Beautiful new resort with spectacular view of the sea. Ko Yao Yai is a small Island which is interesting and safe to explore by scooter unlike most places. This is a place to escape..especially for families with young children

Pure luxury!

Great location overlooking the Krabi islands. New Property with large room sizes, great overall service with many dining options.

Excellent service. Beautiful views. Clean, comfortable rooms. Would absolutely visit again. From the second you arrive at the pier lounge to the moment you leave, every interaction is seamless and professional.

I would say the facility is excellent but the quality of service needs to be improved compared to the price and star given. Since the hotel area is large and needs a buggy for traveling from one place to another. Requests were received by staffs but there is no showed up for buggy and requests for other stuffs are quite slow and not yet impressive.

Hotel and staff were fabulous. Food was amazing Boat excursion was spectacular. Rented a motorcycle and drove all over the island. Saw elephant sanctuary ate local food. Everything was unbelievable. An experience to cherish forever

This place was so welcoming, everyone was so nice and helpful! Would come back in a heartbeat. Win is amazing, he made our stay super personable !!

Excellent stay at Anantara Koh Yao Yai. The property is new (opened Oct ‘23), and brilliantly designed. We had our infant and toddler so chose a Grand Family Sea View suite, it was spacious, well equipped (even a children’s toilet!) and beautifully designed. Our toddler loved the bunk-bed with slide, and the hotel even added a few ride-on toys to play with. Staff were friendly and helpful and the WhatsApp service was very useful for asking questions and making bookings.

Overpriced place with terrible food and service. 90% of employees don't speak English. General Manager Patrick IIstam belevies that the mess is a standard for the Anantara.
