Absolutely outstanding stay – a perfect family getaway! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
From the moment we arrived, this hotel exceeded all expectations. The staff were the true highlight: warm, welcoming, and always one step ahead in making sure everything ran smoothly. Whether it was the front desk, restaurant staff, or housekeeping, every single person we met treated us with genuine kindness and professionalism. The view from the entrance was already breath-taking. The hotel is gorgeously designed, with immaculate landscaping throughout.
The breakfast buffet was phenomenal – fresh tropical fruits, eggs made to order, pastries, local specialties, and excellent coffee. We also thoroughly enjoyed the resort’s dining options, especially the Beach restaurant. Be sure not to miss the Surf and Turf Buffet Dinner.
Our room was spacious, immaculately clean, and tastefully decorated. The beds were comfortable. Our kids especially loved the spacious bunk beds and direct pool access.
The pools were a family favorite – beautifully designed with plenty of loungers and a pool bar. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and peaceful, with poolside service that was both prompt and friendly.
Just steps away was the beach, which was soft, clean, and uncrowded. The tide moved the shoreline a couple of hundred meters and it was fun to walk towards the sea at low tide.
Anantara Koh Yao Yai has the best kids’ club we’ve ever seen. There’s so much for children to do there.
I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel
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
