“Nestled on Ko Yao Yai, this feels like an escape into a greener, quieter world; the location is ideal for exploring the island, yet wonderfully secluded. I appreciate the commitment to eco-friendly practices, and the villas, with their outdoor showers and private spaces, create a unique, almost jungle-like living experience.

the walk from the beach to the villa was tough it was far up a steep hill. getting a buggy was hit or miss particularly after breakfast. i found the beach limiting as i could not find any beach cafes or restaurants to sit at.

The rooms were large and very well equipped. I suppose that was a plus.

Golf cart transport around the complex took a very long time to arrive. It was supposedly essential, made the wait even more frustrating. i found myself questioning its actual necessity, given the delays it caused. perhaps they should consider adding more carts or optimizing the dispatch system
