Travel reviews for Paradise @ Koh Yao
Date of stay: Dec 08, 2014
Accommodation and facilities:
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Paraise Koh Yao. The hotel and grounds are beauiful, with just the right amount of guests to avoid having the overly-crowded-resort feeling of some of the other places we stayed whilst in Thailand. There are many activities to do from the hotel including kayaking, cycling and longtail boat trips, although a note for anyone planning to cycle into the nearby village: the road is treacherous and not for the unfit or faint of heart! The resort itself is on a remote part of the island and the island is very sparsely populated, which is exactly what we were looking for. Anyone wanting action/nightlife would be well advised to look elsewhere as this is not what Koh Yao Noi has to offer. Get a room with a private plunge pool! This was possibly one of the best things about our stay at this resort!

Magnifique hôtel, un petit paradis perdu. Rien à dire sur les chambres grand luxe, l hôtel, le service, la piscine. Cependant, il faut aller dans cet hôtel soit pour ne rien faire ou méditer, ce qui est son esprit même ! soit en ayant beaucoup d argent en plus car pour sortir de l hotel, c est toujours extrêmement cher. La moindre excursion coûte très cher et chaque transfert également (100 euros par personne pour une demi journée de bateau et kayak dans la bai de Phang-Nga par exemple - 100 euros pour aller à Phuket). L isolement de l hotel s est avéré être pour nous une véritable contrainte. Dommage !!!! Excellent restaurant et petit-déjeuner

Paradise @ Koh Yao
is located on the lesser-known island of Koh Yao Noi (Ko Yao Noi), a quiet,
tropical getaway in the Phang Nga national reserve area between Phuket and Krabi. Well away from the major tourist spots of Phuket and Krabi, the resort is still less than one hour away from both locations, with their international airports, by boat transfer. Making our secluded retreat also convenient to get to. Still largely undiscovered by mainstream tourism, the island of Koh Yao Noi (Ko Yao Noi) has a very laid back feel and is a veritable wonderland of exotic birds, flowers and wildlife. The island is covered with lush tropical jungle, fringed by beaches, limestone cliffs & reef and surrounded by numerous tiny islands with their own pristine beaches. The surrounding marine national park boasts some of the most stunning scenery in all Asia. You will discover spectacular limestone towers rising over 200 meters from the ocean, secret lagoons and remote deserted beaches. Awarded World Heritage status in 2002, Koh Yao is considered one of the hidden jewels of the Andaman Sea. Paradise @ Koh Yao is a blend of luxury boutique beach resort & spa - a tasteful and simple symbiosis of nature, comfort & style, nestled amongst this protected national parkland. 72 private villas & studios are tucked within the lush rainforest on 400 meters of secluded beach, overlooking the hauntingly beautiful Phang Nga bay. |
