Lovely Resort! The staff are so kind and accommodating! You can rent a scooter from the resort , so cheap and explore the island. Breakfast was included and average but yummy! The dining options for lunch and supper are Thai and western, very good! Nice clean rooms and if you get a room without an attached pool you can use the pool at the resort on the beach down below! Great views!

Book the suite and don't stay longer than 2 days

Really nice hotel if you book the suite with privat pool otherwise there is no pool (we paid 1000baht on arrival for an upgrade) staff. Is very friendly The beach is not far but not woth a visit as it's really rocky and dirty and there are not many bars/restaurants near so if you stay longer than 1night it could get really boring as hotel has apart from the rooms nothing to offer

Disappointed by Koh Yao Yai

If you're happy to spend a great deal of quiet time at the hotel, relaxing & swimming in your private pool, it's great. But if like me, you want to spend a lot of time on the beach or swimming in the ocean, pick another island altogether. During low tide the ocean receeds so much that it's not only ugly it's not doable :( During high tide ocean looks beautiful but swimming isn't pleasant because there's a clay like, mushy substance on the ocean floor. I was seriously disappointed. Also really not much else to do on the island..... Resort is wonderful though.

A wonderful experience

23 hours travel to a place you hope will be ok? Well, it was and better. A very warm and friendly welcome, nothing was too much trouble for the always smiling and friendly staff. Beautiful room with a large infinity pool outside the bedroom doors and a view across to the far islands.

Quiet place to stay, friendly staff!

The island Koh Yoa Yai is a quiet and developing island. The food and staff at the Hillside resort are both great. A very quiet relaxing stay with day trip options for very reasonable prices to sites nearby. Scooter rental is available to get around the island and explore the local eateries and beaches.

Nice Stay - Not for Single

I stayed for 8 nights at the resort by myself to relax and finish writing my dissertation in peace. This is not the vacation spot for a single, as the staff was constantly asking what was wrong, why I was alone, etc. It is meant to be a romantic vacation, not a solo-getaway. I stayed in two rooms over the course of my stay and there was a clear difference in quality. My first room type was a deluxe with no pool access. The room itself was spectacular and well-kept, however had no pool. The second room was a bungalow with a pool and it was not as clean, had slab concrete floors, the bathroom facilities were only walled on three sides and the fourth was thatched, which meant bugs and creatures could enter. There was a reptile that makes loud squeaking sounds like a rubber duck scratching the doors and windows and running over the roof at all hours of the night, making it difficult to sleep. If you get a room like this keep the door between the bathroom and the room closed. The outdoor shower was an experience as well, as it wasn't a particularly strong water flow so it took quite a while to wash out shampoo and conditioner from my hair. The highlight was the pool, which was well kept. You also can't argue with the views from any room at the resort. I would also mention that if you want to explore the island and cannot ride a motorbike, this is not the place for you. There is very little to do without a motorbike and you will have a difficult time making it to a beach on foot.

Remote and quiet

This hotel is located on the northeastern side of the island. Not really walking distance to any amenities (food, beaches, etc). There is a restaurant on site which is just ok. Highly recommend renting a scooter from the hotel (300 baht/day) to explore the island. I booked a private tour (for a 7 hour trip to Hong Island and other inhabited islands) through the hotel and it was fairly expensive, but you are paying for the convenience. No indoor bathing - only outdoor shower and outdoor jacuzzi. Welcome fruit plate and cold bottled water in the room was a nice touch.

It was so quiet & relaxing - perfect place to unwind. Location is not great, but we were happy to chill in our pool/jacuzzi all day/night. Also had 2 excellent Thai massages in the room - very luxurious.

Very clean and new

The hotel is very nice and clean, the little bungalows are very comfortable and the bathroom is very well kitted out and sparkling clean. Only downside is it's not on the the beachfront but still you have amazing views from the private terrace of the bungalow. Food was very good also and you get free water, fruit and coffee which is in the room. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Koh Yao Yai. Enjoy!

Fantastisk oplevelse

Vi havde 4 fantastiske nætter her. Boede i den kombinerer familie room med kæmpenpool på 12 meter💪. Personalet var så flinke og hjælpsomme. Morgenmaden der var incl. var en vælg selv udefra en liste med mange gode muligheder. Vi kunne få alt hvad vi kunne spise. Aftensmaden i samme resturent var også lækker og til fornuftige priser. Vi lejede en scooter med sidevogn hvor hele familien kunne være via hotellet.
