Koh Yao Hotels with Kitchens

"If you need a break from the hustle and bustle of Bangla Road and just want to relax on your vacation, this is definitely the place for you. The staff go above and beyond to make sure you're comfortable. They offer electric buggies to get around the property, and there are two free transfers daily to the famous sandbar between the islands. The resort has several pools, and the main infinity pool was even bigger than it looked in the photos. Everything is beautiful and spotless. After two days, we extended our stay by an extra day. The breakfasts are excellent. In the evenings, the poolside bars are open with pleasant music playing. In July, there were strong low tides, making swimming at the hotel beach a bit challenging. !! It's better to arrange your transfer from Phuket independently from Bang Rong Pier. A one-way boat trip costs 400 baht per person (tickets can easily be bought at the pier, for example, for 1:30 PM, and you'll be on the other island by 2:00 PM). From there, you can take a taxi to the hotel (Bolt works) or use the hotel's paid transfer service. ! There's a lovely local cafe called Krouw Baanrow near the hotel."

"This accommodation is set in the middle of a lush, jungle-like environment, offering a very peaceful and private atmosphere. The sound of running water adds to the calm setting in the common areas, and there are small touches like fish you can feed and hornbills you can observe, which make the experience feel special and connected to nature. Sin is a kind and helpful host with a warm personality and a good sense of humour, which makes the stay even more enjoyable. The traditional Thai breakfast is delicious, as well as the fruits, especially the fresh mango. There is also a large 15m infinity pool with a beautiful view, which is a great place to relax and take in the surroundings. Overall, a calm and well-kept luxurious place, ideal if you are looking to disconnect and enjoy nature."

"Clean, quiet, comfortable, relaxing. We enjoyed our two nights at SAM SAM and wish we could have stayed longer."
