AlexandreTravelled with family · Aug 30We rented two two-bedroom villas for six people, with a shared pool reserved exclusively for our two villas. The houses are attractive, well maintained, private and very pleasant. They are not particularly luxurious, but they offer excellent value for money, especially during the season when we stayed. Air conditioning in the living rooms would make them significantly more comfortable. We had originally booked two different villas but requested a change after discovering that one of them did not have air conditioning, which is quite surprising for a four-star property in Thailand. We received a warm welcome from the English manager when we arrived. However, the service during the rest of our stay felt rather limited. The housekeeping team did a very good job, but when we sent a simple WhatsApp request for some ice, we received no reply. On the other hand, when the manager wanted to know what time we were leaving, he responded within a minute. This was disappointing, as a little more attention would have greatly improved the overall experience. The location is lovely and peaceful, with a very pleasant beach directly in front of the property. The restaurant next to the reception, whether or not it belongs to the hotel, was an excellent surprise. The food and service were both exceptional. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay. We would probably return if travelling again with two families. As a couple, however, we would personally choose Cape Kudu, which is slightly more expensive but offers a considerably higher level of service. That is, of course, simply a matter of personal preference.

JohnTravelled solo · Aug 13The facilities were brilliant. The accommodation we stayed in had a private pool and the staff were super accommodating. Very happy to help with any queries we had. We were able to contact them on WhatsApp at any time a day. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again in the near future.
Restaurant onsite, although it was lovely, was quite expensive for a family of six
GillanTravelled as a couple · Aug 10Beautifully and thoughtfully designed, set in an almost untouched and private slice of Koh Yao Noi. Yet close to both the fast boat pier as well as the main beaches and village - all quickly reached by taxi or scooter within a few mins. Designed, built and run by the original owner and their amazing team, it's incredibly tranquil - nestled within beautiful landscaping and nature. Photos do not do the build quality of the villas or the area justice. The beach is clean, safe, and perfect for swimming. Everything about the accommodation has an intentional, ecologically-minded approach. Quite simply, this is the best holiday accommodation we’ve ever stayed at, anywhere. The onsite restaurant, La Sala, was consistently and comfortably the best food and dining we had anywhere in Thailand - it is incredible how personal and authentic they make the experience. We were very sad to leave after a week, but will absolutely be back. Thank you George, Bee, Ryan & team for such an amazing experience :-)
DanielleTravelled with family · Aug 2We stayed at one of the villas, it's more of a private complex. The main villa has a master bedroom living room and kitchen. There are two additional guest rooms that are stand alone and a private pool in the middle. The villa is gorgeous, kitchen is very well equipped, spacious and over all exceeded our expectations. We also got a lot of information and help with booking of activities, restaurants etc.
The guest rooms had a minor ant problem but the villa also had anti ant spray that did the work great.
SianTravelled with family · Apr 10Lovely, spacious villa with a great pool. Great restaurant and super customer service from Ryan who was really helpful and a font of local knowledge. We loved using the kayaks. Beautiful situation on a stunning beach.
Not much! Very minor but some areas outside looked a little uncared for eg peeling paint on the exterior and garden untidy in places.

PhilippTravelled with family · May 15Es waren 3 Gebäude, alle mit separatem Schlüssel (etwas nervig), aber sonst sehr schön und sauber. Der private Pool war klein, und der Balkon davon noch kleiner, aber trotzdem schön, mit schöner Aussicht. Der grosse Gemeinschaftspool war immer leer, deshalb auch sehr angenehm. Das Frühstück war super, wenn man gerne Früchte hat, weniger wenn man Eier bestellt (Omelette, etc. waren immer mit Honig gemacht). Die Leute sind aber äusserst freundlich, das Hotel ist relativ nahe zum Strand (5-10 Minuten), es empfiehlt sich Scooter zu mieten.
MariekeTravelled with family · May 4Het was een heerlijke plek, er werken fijne mensen en je voelt je gelijk op je plek.
Torstein NygaardTravelled with a group · Apr 7Vi bodde i Mai Pai-hytten og elsket det! Romslig, eksklusivt og velholdt. Hotellet ligger i et rolig område, rett ved stranden, hvor vi var nesten alene. Svært lekker restaurant, helt nydelig for frokost. Hyggelige og hjelpsomme ansatte. Strandmatter, håndklær og kano-kajakk til utlån - veldig kult å padle over til Koh Nok for en dagsutflukt.
Absolutt ingenting!
