Excellent hotel, service, attitude, food, everything at the highest level. The transportation to and from the hotel is so excellent that the receptionist called to ask if we were okay on the way after we left the hotel. I really enjoyed every minute I was there.

Beautiful new resort

Beautiful new resort with spectacular view of the sea. Ko Yao Yai is a small Island which is interesting and safe to explore by scooter unlike most places. This is a place to escape..especially for families with young children

Best experiance and great vacation

We're staying for 6 nights in this wonderful resort. We'have been perfectly hosted by our personal Villa host August, up on our arrival to the hotel pier until leaving. At any time we have a fantastic stay during these days and can highly recommand Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas. We will be back for sure. Thanks for all.

Absolutely Fantastic

Excellent stay at Anantara Koh Yao Yai. The property is new (opened Oct ‘23), and brilliantly designed. We had our infant and toddler so chose a Grand Family Sea View suite, it was spacious, well equipped (even a children’s toilet!) and beautifully designed. Our toddler loved the bunk-bed with slide, and the hotel even added a few ride-on toys to play with. Staff were friendly and helpful and the WhatsApp service was very useful for asking questions and making bookings.
Andrew, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

From the moment we arrived at Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas, we were transported into a world of serene luxury and natural beauty. This island retreat is the definition of tranquility, nestled between lush greenery and the crystal-clear waters of the Andaman Sea. Arrival & Warm Welcome We were greeted with genuine smiles, refreshing welcome drinks, and a seamless check-in experience. The team made us feel like honored guests from the very beginning, setting the tone for a stay filled with thoughtful touches and outstanding service. Our Sea View Room – A Dream in Blue and Green We stayed in a beautifully appointed sea view room, and waking up each morning to the panoramic vista of the ocean was truly magical. The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and designed with a perfect blend of modern comfort and Thai elegance. The balcony was our favorite spot – ideal for morning coffee or evening wine as we watched the sun melt into the horizon. Dining Experiences The culinary offerings were exceptional. The breakfast spread was extensive and catered to every taste – from fresh tropical fruit and local Thai delicacies to international classics. Each restaurant we dined at delivered both in flavor and ambiance, especially the seafood dishes at the beachside grill and the sunset dinners by the water. Activities & Spa Whether it was kayaking through mangroves, a sunset boat cruise, or simply lounging by the infinity pool, every moment felt like a postcard come to life. The An
Mohannad, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

I would say the facility is excellent but the quality of service needs to be improved compared to the price and star given. Since the hotel area is large and needs a buggy for traveling from one place to another. Requests were received by staffs but there is no showed up for buggy and requests for other stuffs are quite slow and not yet impressive.
Jarupa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Cons - remote location and steep prices in restaurants and bars - staff is rigid and lacking any awareness. Most speak no or little English. The rest is probably restricted by rules of the management. The typical “Thai friendliness” is nowhere to be found. - far to little drinking water provided in the room (2,5 liter for 6 persons) probably to sell more Italian water?!? Which they serve as standard, but they also have Thai water. - overall the place feels like the management is lacking (understaffed, not sufficient training, etc) you get the feeling they want to maximize profit instead of your pleasure. Pros - beautiful designed resort - room fantastic and beds very good
Mark, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We spent 12 days at this resort, and it was fantastic. The personell was amazing, always very friendly and went out of their way to help us. We spent the entire trip travelling around the island, seeing everything it had to offer, and took different trips to see the Elephants, the sunset, monkeys picking coconuts, meeting lots of local people, all very friendly and helpful. We felt very safe everywhere. The hotel and its facilities were superb, only thing that could have been good was a little shop to buy some snacks and sunscreen etc. But we rented a scooter and got what we needed in nearby shops. All in all an amazing holiday in the most amazing surroundings. Will recommend both Koh Yao Yai and Anantara to everyone.
Trine Røssel, 10-night trip

8/10 Very good

Fantastic Resort, Mediocre Service and amenties

Koh Yao Yai - is underdeveloped island still; Anantara Resort has Beautiful surroundings and a stunning facility - no doubt! the kids pool is also a fun feature but - although the staff is friendly, the service provided by this resort does not quite meet the 5-star standards expected. for example, receiving coffee capsules took almost an hour after requesting them in the morning. additionally, the food is overpriced and not particularly noteworthy. unfortunately, the restaurant service is quite slow, with food often arriving 40 minutes after being ordered, and sometimes even cold. this can be especially problematic for families with young children. The Stuff is received directive to try and charge the guests as much as possible- and every step you do on the resort- the try to sell you something; we do not mind to consume- but it has to be done a little bit more subtle..... also - a little bit more attentions to the guests - offering an umbrella when raining ,etc...... that being said- Anatara is still great and lovely; we are sure they will be gradually improving their services also in this resort;
BAR, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

New property, so one can expect the good and the bad that comes with it. Best thing about the Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort is the staff. Genuinely friendly, and really put their heart into their daily routine. Top managers from the GM to the area managers are very professional, but the rest seem very young, and new. Only negative I found during our family's 5 days stay was there was a group (Country's Dentist Association) occasion at the resort for 3 days, and all during the entire time, most of the front desk staff, including Concierge were busy taking care of their activities which negated regular customers. For example, they took over the entire resort lobby area and made it into their meeting room for 3 days. "Lobby" was moved to the next room which very small to handle all the regular customer's requests as the lines were often long. It was little frustrating at times as they seem to have plenty of staff available but most seem busy taking care of the event for the Dentist Association. Resort's hardware is very well managed as with most first rate resorts around the world. With particular to this resort, I'd like to think the management will sort out the early kinks that comes with first year opening "pain". Had a chance to meet the GM, Patrick who seem to have pulse to everything going on at the resort, and I am sure He will find a way to make this a first rate resort in Phuket, and in Koh Yao Yai Island.
