Royal Yao Yai Island Beach Resort

My stay at this hotel was really good, the room was very big and spacious, the bathroom was clean and also spacious. The staff was very friendly and helpful, I always felt like they were willing to help whenever I asked. The breakfast was amazing, plenty of options and there was always everything available whatever time I went, there were 2 X bread stations so no waiting, eggs were cooked fresh however you wanted, bacon, beans, ham, a variety of cheeses, yogurts with many fresh fruits, even sushi 😯 there was Also options to have hot cooked food, stir-fry, noodles, steamed vegetables,need I say more. The grounds around the hotel were very well kept, clean and tidy, the pool area had sunbeds available and also sunbeds on the beach area too, always available. My time here was very relaxing and even though there were families with children it was not so noisy, if you would rather prefer to have an adult only stay somewhere then make this not your choice.

Good view and excellent service, located close to the beach and sea. The sunset is romantic.

Could have been great but wasn’t. Nowhere to eat. Hotel restaurant was bad and expensive. Room wasn’t ready. Reception was chaos - lots of irate guests trying to check in. Staff had no idea how to deal with customers. Booked rooms together. 1 was in block A and the other was in block D!  No urgency or attentiveness from staff. They just all seemed like they were not being well managed and the guests were a nuisance to them.  Pool and beach were nice but apart from that there was nothing to do. Asked for a gin and tonic but the barman said the tonic hadn’t  arrived. The little shop 10 yards behind the hotel had a fridge full of tonic but that was a step too far for this hotel.  Cockerel woke me up at 4am every morning. Mosque started loudly chanting at 5am which set the dogs barking. Also next to a road and the moped hire shop. Didn’t sleep well.

Hotel is view a wonderful view, great facilities. The gym could be much better and the service in the restaurant sometimes get confused with the orders. But overall was a great experience!
