Mayalay Beach Resort

Front desk Jay was fantastic. Upgraded our room on arrival. Beautiful little island and really underrated spot

Koh Ngai Trang is the place for relax escape from busy day. Join the snorkling trip u find something amazing.

Would highly recommend. Best part of the beach and fewer bungalows than other places on the island therefore less crowded. Worth paying the extra for a Seaview, gorgeous view and beach at your doorstop. Great food and excellent cocktails, would love to stay again!

This place is well-relaxed on the beach. Enjoy the nature. Staff is service minded.

The island is lovely and the hotel is nice although in need of a little TLC in parts. We had a great time, the only shame was the amount of plastic rubbish on the beach, yoghurt pots, water bottles etc. It washes up on the beach overnight, which is a shame in itself but can’t be helped, but the hotel staff don’t seem to take the time to clean the beach. I picked up the rubbish whenever I saw it, and it’s a shared responsibility, but I do think the hotel could do more to maintain the beach as it’s the main selling point for staying here.

A bit of a mission to get to (and for the love of Kylie please avoid Tigerline), but worth it when you arrive. Peaceful, feels remote, idyllic, friendly, relaxed. Everything you want from a Thai island, without what happens on Phi Phi or at Patong. The perfect place to get to straight from colder climes (if anything the long journey helps you fend off the jetlag), and seemed more Robinson Crusoe-esque than Thanya or Fantasy to the south. Highly recommend a proper massage at the spa - the setting, breeze and nearby waves lapping in will make it memorable. I’m sure there’s more to do, but I spent my three days (straight from London) largely reading, sleeping, dipping in the sea and generally relaxing. It was everything I needed it to be.

Nice place to visit

This was our second time at the Mayalay Resort and we were not disappointed. The lovely Jay at reception always took care of everything we needed with a smile on her face. The restaurant/bar staff were always happy to accomodate any request, in fact, after I asked for some lemon for my tea the first morning, it just appeared on our table every morning after that as soon as the staff saw us arriving. The bungalows are basic but clean and comfortable. A safe has been added to the rooms this year, which is a big plus. All in all, a magical setting with lovely, friendly staff. We're booking for next year!!

I booked this as a second choice, our first choice was full by the time we came to book. I thought it was going to be fine then saw a couple of bad reviews just before our arrival. We had a nightmare beach hut in koh lipe called zanom and my heart sank. I needn't have worried, we loved this place and it deserves much better ratings than it currently has. The location is superb and gobsmackingly beautiful. The bungalows themselves are spacious and comfortable while lacking a little decoration and personality they are kept nice and clean. The whole island suffers a little with slow service and lack of language proficiency sometimes giving the impression of aloofness, but just chill out and relax - you are on what often seems like your own personal paradise.

The island was amazing for what we wanted which was a bit of R&R after the how hectic phi phi and Patong were. The resort is situated in a great location and the staff are very friendly. Breakfast really isn't great, can get the basics but the food runs out and they don't refill it, also they close the breakfast earlier than 10 as they say on check in. But other than that it a perfect place for a couple oor family looking to experience a true type of island lifestyle. Not atms or 7 elevens

We spent eight nights at the Mayalay. When we arrived we were warmly greeted by Alice at reception and we knew straight away we were going to be looked after wonderfully. All the hotel staff were friendly, professional and couldn't do enough for us. The bar staff had our drinks ready before we even asked, as they knew what we liked. The spa on the beach was wonderful, we used it every day. We would recommend this resort to anybody looking for relaxation in a paradise setting.

This was our first night in Thailand and propably one of the Best! Hotel staff were more thank nice and all the time ready to help. It seemed like they really tried to make our holiday success. Area is nice and quiet. Pools are Very nice and clean. Beach was very nice too. Only problem was which one to use pool or beach:)

Meget lækker strand og vand. Generelt sødt og hjælpsomme personale. Live musik hver aften - vi synes det var i overkanten.

Wir waren nur eine Nacht zu Gast das Personal war zuvorkommend, Zimmer waren gut, das Frühstück auch sehr gut. Nur trinken und essen würde ich wo anders auf der Insel

Sødt personale. Vores hytte lå godt med meget fin udsigt. Pænt og rent.

3,5 Sterne (Preis-Leistung) großzügig aufgerundet weil das Personal wirklich sehr sehr lieb und bemüht war und man ein umweltfreundliches Konzept hat. Man zahlt i. W. für die Lage auf der Insel - eine "villa" ist es aber nicht. Wir hatten einen 'beachfront' bungalow, einfach und sauber allerdings etwas zurück versetzt mit blick auf die Massage Hütte und einen anderen bungalow. Das bad war sauber und großzügig. Das Frühstück war basic, aber ok. Wer nach zehn kommt findet das was übrig ist. Eierspeisen konnten a la carte bestellt werden. Das offene Restaurant ist wirklich sehr hübsch, gegessen haben wir dort allerdings nicht (außer Frühstück). Tip top: es gibt thermosflaschen, die kostenlos mit gekühltem Wasser befüllt werden können!

Lovely stay in paradise with the beach just outside the bungalow.

We really liked Mayalay resort. It is simple but clean and right at the beach. The beach mest the Hotel was the best part of the beach on Koh Ngai. The staff was very friendly and we could book one extra Night. The breakfast was ok and you could order some single dish if you liked. There was not no many vegan or vegetarian options for breakfast. The food on the resort was good. We want to go back!

Excellent excellent excellent - super freindly staff. Very clean and cosy bungalow. The perfekt spot to relax and get away from your every-day life.

Bästa läget på stranden, enkla men rena och städade bungalows. Toalett och dusch fungerade fint i luftig miljö. Matsedel och frukost var ganska liten men omelett och det vanligaste fanns. Fantastiskt snorkling utanför hotellet på ganska grunt vatten.
