Glow Elixir Koh Yao Yai

We stayed 8 nights in late January 2025 and It was a very pleasant stay.We visited the property many times to eat there in 2022 during our stay at another hotel,then decided to come back some day and we finally did it.Private transfer form Phuket airport can be arranged. Our Luxury villa N. 175 located at the last row but with a decent sea view was comfortable and well appointed with an outdoor shower and a big balcony.No bed frame since the mattress was placed directly over an slightly elevated floor where getting out of it could be sometimes a bit challenging.The breakfast is very good with different asian and western options every day,also the food offered during lunch and dinner is very good with all meals served by the sea.The beach is nice,among the best if not the best of the island,specially the northern part, the ambiance is calmed and relaxed surrounded by trees and gardens.Decent gym with two perfectly working treadmills.The staff is very nice and attentive.I did not give a five star review due to a some maintenance issues noticed and the use of plastic bottled water,straws.Surely we will comeback.

Só não dei 5 estrelas pelo fato de o quarto não ter um bom isolamento acústico e tampouco telefone para falar com a recepção, visto que em nossa última noite precisávamos acordar muito cedo, o que foi impossível devido a algumas pessoas gritando ao lado, estava chovendo e sem telefone, não pude fazer nada, ainda que pararam de conversar depois da meia noite! Fora isso uma experiência sensacional.

Just stay was OK, the staff was very good, the cleanliness was OK, the rest of the experience was so so

Perfect for couples wanting a relaxing holiday situated on a private beach.

Not a swimmable beach

Very relaxing and had a lovely time. The food was delicious, offering beach side tables at the onsite restaurant. The staff was very nice and helped create a wonderful experience

Traumhaft schöne Anlage. Sehr ruhig gelegen. Entspannung pur. Und zur aktuelle Zeit keine Quallen im Wasser.

Kleinod am Strand mit toller Poolvilla. Sehr sauber, Personal sehr bemüht, aber dem Dienstleistungsgedanken nicht immer folgend könnend. Dafür ganz viel Herz und Freundlichkeit. Frühstück gut, kostenlose Kanus und SUPs, super Cocktailbar.

Dejligt fredfyldt og smukt sted. Meget venligt personale. Hård madras. Aircondition kørte hele tiden, hvilket var dejligt. God morgenmad og fin resturant, hvis ikke vi spiste på de lokale 300 m væk. Hyggeligt bar område. Vi var meget skuffede over vandet ved stranden. Varmt, lavvandet og fyldt med sten og koraller. Ingen flotte fisk, men det var smukt at se ud på. 9 km fra hotellet ligger skøn sandstrand.

The property is absolutely beautiful! We were welcomed with a cold cloth and small drink by friendly staff. We were upgraded to a beachfront pool villa and the views were absolutely stunning! Somehow the property looks very open, but the pool itself feels private. We had an early (530 am) checkout and the staff came and picked us up in a golf cart directly to the checkout desk where we were handed two boxed breakfasts for our travels. The food at the resort was fantastic. Everything tasted very fresh.

Dejligt sted, stille og roligt. Er efterhånden noget slidt, men alt virker. Så er det fred og ro og afslapning i solen du har brug for kan det varmt anbefales.

Utrolig smukt og hyggeligt hotel med den smukkest strand. Et besøg værd også selve øen. Søde og hjælpsomme mennesker overalt på øen

Wir hatten eine Bungalow mit privaten Pool direkt am Strand. Hierzu muss ich sagen das es einer der schönsten Strände war, die zu einem Resort gehören, den wir bisher gesehen haben. Bei Ebbe kann man hier zwar nicht ins Wasser aber dafür gibt es hier ein privaten Pool oder der gemeinsame Pool der aber seine besten Zeiten hinter sich hat. Die Gartenanlage ist sehr gepflegt doch die Häuser haben alle schonmal bessere Zeiten gesehen. In unserem Bungalow gibt es auch diverse Dinge die defekt sind oder nicht mehr gut aussehen. Der private Pool war sauber und gepflegt sowie die eigene Terrasse. Besonders schön ist die Hecke die dem ganzen noch mehr Privatsphäre verschafft. Das Essen wird nicht scharf zubereitet, wenn man dies explizit wünscht. Schön fanden wir die Begrüßung mit einem kalten Tuch und kaltem Tee. Die Massage im Resort war leider einer der schlechtesten die ich je in Thailand hatte und das waren schon einige. Meine Füße wurden vorher nicht gewaschen, es hat sich sehr lustlos angefühlt und die Begrüßung viel leider aus. Würden wir wieder kommen? Das Personal ist mal sehr freundlich und im nächsten Moment völlig desinteressiert und genervt. Wenn man aber Probleme hat wird sich sofort darum gekümmert und selbst der Manager kommt nochmal vorbei und fragt ob nun alles in Ordnung ist. Danke dafür. Wer R uhe und Abgelegenheit sucht ist hier genau richtig. Ca 20 Minuten mit dem Roller findet man auch Läden wie 7-11 und andere Shops. Wenn hier der Reparaturstau behoben ist und

Good stay

Just back from Koh Yao Yai and wow, what a chill spot! This resort is the definition of peaceful – right on a gorgeous beach, and it's so quiet you can hear the waves all day. Everything was super clean and comfy, making it easy to just relax and enjoy the views. The staff deserves a shoutout too. They were always there to help out, super friendly and knew the area inside out. Made my stay smooth and fun. If you're looking for a getaway that's all about unwinding and getting away from it all, this is your place. Can't wait to go back

Nice, quiet and relaxing hotel

We liked: 1.) The personnel: the manager was great and authentic, the reception desk service with Honey and May was great and sincere, the bar and restaurant staff were nice, the spa staff was also great and very friendly 2.) The view: beautiful beach and ocean view from the restaurant and bar, unfortunately not from the bungalow 3.) The food: we ate twice at the restaurant (Thai dishes) and they were all great, especially the lobster. Alternatively there were 3 other restaurants close by, two of which also had great food. We didn't try the third one. 4.) The service and activities: we did the Phi Phi Islands tour with the Longtail boat with Mr. Nut and Mr. Sing, which was wonderful, the visit to the elephant care was also a great experience, the scooter rental was just next door and was very easy going 5.) Arrival and Departure Transfer Service: we were greatly supported traveling from Phuket International Airport to the Elixir Resort and back. Even traveling through the night wasn't a problem. We are very happy we have chosen the right hotel for us to stay at on the island. It was wonderful. Thank you very much and we are hoping to come back again. At the beginning there was some confusion about an open balcony door after cleaning; however, this was treated professionally and it didn't happen again.

We spent a very nice experience in elixir Resort. The private beach is fabulous (and very clean) ! Bungalow, pool, restaurant, all is so nice! Thanks to all the charmant people we have met. Just be conscious that the resort is on the opposite of the main pier at the north of the island, 35min/500bt taxi. Can't swim on low tide. For boat excursions, prefer buy cheaper on some restaurants at 5min walking.

7 of us stayed at Elixir. We had an fabulous time. The resort was quiet, safe and very relaxing. We enjoyed massages, the restaurant and learning to ride scooters to explore the island. I would recommend Elixir to anyone wanting a relaxing Thai holiday, mostly untouched by tourists unlike other islands. All the staff were very accomodating, especially reception and food and beverage staff who assisted with my partners dietary restrictions.

A beautiful quiet beach front resort with great staff, restaurant and tiki bar!
