Baan Taranya Koh Yao Yai Resort

The hotel is quite remote, far from any civilization. The staff seemed half-asleep, and it felt like we were the only guests there. Despite that, they gave us a room with a terrible smell and a non-functional electronic key. Breakfast was meager, probably due to the lack of customers.

This hotel is located on a side street off the main road. We particularly enjoyed the friendly welcome. We had a standard room, which was very clean, had a safe, and fresh towels were provided daily if desired. It was a good size, and we were lucky enough to get a corner room, which meant we had an extra window and a small private terrace. The hotel is right on the beach, but also has two pools. Additionally, the hotel offers a free shuttle service to what is supposedly one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. The hotel restaurant offers a very extensive breakfast buffet; the only downside is that the coffee machine takes a while. The food selection at the restaurant is also excellent. For those who are very sensitive to noise: since there's a pier directly on the hotel beach, it's often used by scooter riders to zoom around – it's actually quite fun to try yourself! :) I generally recommend always having earplugs for Thailand (also for speedboats) – we were able to sleep perfectly well.

The accommodation was excellent. Beautiful and the staff provided great service.

Nice accommodation, clean room, unfortunately the beach was a bit dirty which is a real shame because it's really beautiful there.

The accommodation is clean and peaceful. The reception staff are very helpful, friendly, and polite. There's a welcome drink upon arrival, and they were very helpful with recommendations for places to visit. This is my second stay, and I plan to return again. The breakfast view from the sea is beautiful.
