Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas delivers a modern beachfront escape with spacious, stylish rooms, family-friendly features like pools, slides, and a kids’ club, consistently praised cleanliness, and striking sea views.
Many guests highlight warm, helpful service, though recurring issues include disorganized check-in, slow responses or buggy waits, and occasional language barriers. Breakfast and some restaurants earn strong reviews, but food and spa prices are high, service can be slow, and dining choices may be reduced in low season. The remote setting is scenic and peaceful, yet boat transfers run limited hours and private rides can be expensive, so exploring beyond the resort takes planning. Expect a beautiful, relaxing stay with a few service and cost trade-offs.

Facilities
Modern resort facilities with attractive pools, beach access, and strong family features (slides, kids’ areas). Several reviews note very good amenities overall, though kids’ club quality varies and spa/services can feel expensive.

Pros: - Room size - kids slides are very entertaining Cons: - doesn’t feel luxury in the slightest - kids club looks good until you see all the broken toys and the staff on their phones instead of interacting with the kids - sun loungers get taken from you if you leave for 40 mins or longer. So basically you can’t return post lunch. - be sure to check the boat timing to / from the island as they only run certain hours and if you need to privately hire it’s $850 sgd for one way (35 mins)

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

Koh Yao Yai - is underdeveloped island still; Anantara Resort has Beautiful surroundings and a stunning facility - no doubt! the kids pool is also a fun feature but - although the staff is friendly, the service provided by this resort does not quite meet the 5-star standards expected. for example, receiving coffee capsules took almost an hour after requesting them in the morning. additionally, the food is overpriced and not particularly noteworthy. unfortunately, the restaurant service is quite slow, with food often arriving 40 minutes after being ordered, and sometimes even cold. this can be especially problematic for families with young children. The Stuff is received directive to try and charge the guests as much as possible- and every step you do on the resort- the try to sell you something; we do not mind to consume- but it has to be done a little bit more subtle..... also - a little bit more attentions to the guests - offering an umbrella when raining ,etc...... that being said- Anatara is still great and lovely; we are sure they will be gradually improving their services also in this resort;

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

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

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.

Cons - remote location and steep prices in restaurants and bars - staff is rigid and lacking any awareness. Most speak no or little English. The rest is probably restricted by rules of the management. The typical “Thai friendliness” is nowhere to be found. - far to little drinking water provided in the room (2,5 liter for 6 persons) probably to sell more Italian water?!? Which they serve as standard, but they also have Thai water. - overall the place feels like the management is lacking (understaffed, not sufficient training, etc) you get the feeling they want to maximize profit instead of your pleasure. Pros - beautiful designed resort - room fantastic and beds very good

Dette hotel var en af de bedste hoteller vi nogensinde har besøgt. Rammerne var gennemført lækre, og man mærkede tydeligt, at der var kælet for detaljerne. Hele opholdet føltes som en lille luksusboble, hvor man virkelig kunne koble af og nyde omgivelserne. Masser af rum til forskellige aktiviteter på hotellet og super lære og rene værelser. Den største ulempe – og samtidig en del af charmen – er beliggenheden på en meget lille ø. Der er ingen Bolt eller Grab, så man er afhængig af de lokale taxaer, som kører rundt i små “ladvogne”. Det giver en mere autentisk og afslappet stemning, men betyder også, at man ikke bare lige smutter ud for at opleve byliv. Om det er en fordel eller ulempe, afhænger helt af hvad man søger: Ønsker man ro, natur og ø-liv, er det helt perfekt. Vil man derimod have masser af restauranter, shopping og tempo, kan det føles lidt isoleret. Alt i alt en fantastisk og mindeværdig oplevelse – ideel til dem, der vil forkæles og nyde ø-stemningen fuldt ud.

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.

Cons - remote location and steep prices in restaurants and bars - staff is rigid and lacking any awareness. Most speak no or little English. The rest is probably restricted by rules of the management. The typical “Thai friendliness” is nowhere to be found. - far to little drinking water provided in the room (2,5 liter for 6 persons) probably to sell more Italian water?!? Which they serve as standard, but they also have Thai water. - overall the place feels like the management is lacking (understaffed, not sufficient training, etc) you get the feeling they want to maximize profit instead of your pleasure. Pros - beautiful designed resort - room fantastic and beds very good

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.

The rooms, the hotel and the food was 6-star rating. Amazing ! We unfortunately didn’t get the Thai-mentality/hospitality here. A lot of the staff seems like robots; doing the job. Other places in Thailand we enjoyed very much the smile and conversations with the staff - but here this has 0 interest. And hey, that’s a choice they made and for some that’s most likely very good. We gave our feedbacks and I’m disappointed in how their Customer Experience Support is handling it. Basically writing all the right things - but no action. We were greeted very nicely good bye by the staff, but we feel like the culture in this hotel is broken and for us that’s the main reason of not coming back again.

The check-in was late and very disorganized. After the delay, it was presented to us as if we were receiving an “upgrade,” but in practice we were placed in a family area with water slides directly in front of our balcony, instead of the sea-view room that was originally booked. Only after insisting were we moved to the correct room, which happened about one hour after the hotel’s official check-in time. In addition, the prices at the hotel were very expensive by any standard, including the spa and the hotel’s restaurants.

Beautiful beachfront setting on a quiet island with scenic views and safe scooter exploring. Access depends on scheduled boats; private transfers and excursions can be costly, and the remote location limits off-resort options.

Pros: - Room size - kids slides are very entertaining Cons: - doesn’t feel luxury in the slightest - kids club looks good until you see all the broken toys and the staff on their phones instead of interacting with the kids - sun loungers get taken from you if you leave for 40 mins or longer. So basically you can’t return post lunch. - be sure to check the boat timing to / from the island as they only run certain hours and if you need to privately hire it’s $850 sgd for one way (35 mins)

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

What a rip off resort. booked a package with sea transfer inclusive - no mention of this only being the case in daylight hours! charged a significant amount for late night sea. all the prices for food and services is inflated even for island prices with single aim to rip your guests off. Shame on you!

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
