Ko Yao Noi 5 Stars Hotels

"Beautiful hotel. Made from teak with beautiful hand carvings which give it a unique look. Amazing room. Very clean. Staff polite and helpful. Great facilities: pools were great. Good choice of restaurants: although menu didn’t vary much apart from in the Japanese restaurant, where the food was amazing. Location is stunning, with accommodation set highly amongst the jungle which gave stunning viewsSpecial thanks to the yoga instructor who was brilliant. Early morning yoga was a great way to start the day. Be aware if you have a late flight there is no late transfer off the island: these only operate at set times in daylight hours. We ended up booking a hotel room near the airport instead of spending 7 hours in the airport, but you can get a decent room very cheaply. We’ve never stayed anywhere quite like it. You won’t be disappointed. "

"Absolutely. Loved how the staff would have little fit surprises everyday retuning."

"The transportation staff were quite helpful and amazing!! The breakfast crew were Awesome and Amazing! We had a Blast at our Cooking Class!! Sign up for the cooking class at Dewai 24 hours in advance and have a wonderful Thai Experience!! We (Fam of Four) stayed an entire week and decided to upgrade to the 2 bedroom suite and it was sooo worth it!! Check it out…. The staff are most deserving of every generous gesture of kindness that you are able to give them through tipping!!! "

"We had a fantastic stay at the resort nicely laid out with excellent staff and service. Breakfast could have been better with more choice of food. Restaurants were excellent with great food, bar at the side of reception had great choice of drinks. Regarding the room the bathroom was tired with missing grout between the tiles and mastic sealant could be renewed. Lighting could have been better. Main room itself was comfortable, a lot of loose floor tiles could do with resetting and regrouting some marks on the walls. Great service for booking tours and taxis/ transport. Great service with the golf carts taking you back and forth to rooms and reception. Some of the accommodation blocks looked tired with lots of cracks on the structures either superficial or structural and they could do with repairs being undertaken. The balcony woodwork could do with either renewal or further maintenance I understand the weather may play a part in this but worth mentioning. We had a fantastic time at the resort and would highly recommend. Many thanks for a lovely stay."

"The JW Marriott Resort was absolutely breathtaking. The property is massive, with so many areas and restaurants that I didn’t even get a chance to experience everything due to time constraints. I stayed for a week in December, and the Christmas decorations throughout the resort added such a magical, festive touch—it truly elevated the entire atmosphere. From the moment my car arrived at the hotel, I was completely speechless. There was this overwhelming feeling of awe that’s honestly hard to put into words. It was one of those moments where you just feel how special a place is. My room exceeded all expectations. I stayed in a deluxe cabin, and it was incredibly spacious and beautifully designed. The bathroom opened into the bedroom, which made the room feel even more luxurious and open—just stunning. The staff truly made this experience unforgettable. A very special shout-out to OY at the concierge desk, who planned my tours and went above and beyond to make sure my vacation was seamless and memorable. She genuinely took care of me. The front desk team and the JW Café staff were also exceptional—warm, professional, and attentive at every interaction. Another huge shout-out goes to the team at Ginja Restaurant. If you’re traveling solo and craving amazing Thai food, this is a must-visit. The staff makes you feel right at home, and the food is outstanding. And Benihana—hands down the best steak I’ve ever had. You absolutely cannot visit Thailand without experiencing the sp"
