Top Ko Yao Hotel Reviews

Katathani Phuket Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay on Kata Noi Beach. The beach was clean, uncrowded, with surfers but also safe for swimming, and our ground-floor room had incredible views with terrace access to the beach. The adult-only pools made it super peaceful, and we loved the thoughtful in-room extras like beach towels, a tote bag, and flip-flops. The breakfast spread was huge with delicious Thai and Indian options, plus a fun daily rotation of herbal teas (pandan, butterfly pea, chrysanthemum). Keep in mind it's in a quieter spot—getting to Patong or Karon is a 30+ minute cab ride, and Kata Beach is a hilly 20-minute walk—but it’s an absolute gem if you want a relaxing beachfront escape."

Mandarava Resort and Spa Karon Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This is my second time staying at the mandarava and it won’t be my last. It’s a beautiful property tucked into the hillside with some incredible views. It has multiple pools spread out around the property so the pool never feels too crowded. Breakfast is varied and has the freshest pastries I’ve had at a buffet. Iced coffee at breakfast is also great. Rooms are spacious with a great bathroom, cleaned frequently by Noey a lovely staff member. Lots of hills and stairs but they have shuttles to drop you at your room or pick you up for breakfast. There’s shuttles to the beach everyday which save walking or getting a grab. Poolbar has happy hour everyday with reasonable prices. Hotel felt safe with lots of staff at reception/concierge."

Paradox Resort Phuket

8/10 Good

"The Paradox resort is very well located within proximity to Karon beach, shops, bars amd restaurants. Our room was upgraded to the penthouse suite which is very spacious and it even has a mini pool on the roof. Unfortunately, there was a lot of rain the first day and there were several leaks from the ceiling and sliding door that made it a bit uncomfortable. We contacted the front desk and they offered to move us to another room but with all the rain going on, we decided to just stay in the same room. The staff was gracious to bring plenty of towels to absorb the water and replenished them often. I was also granted a late check out on our last day that was very convenient since we were catching a later flight to go home. The food was excellent including the breakfast buffet and in room dining menu offered a variety of dishes. The pool and surrounding areas were well maintained also. Overall the staff and services were very attentive however the property needs some updates. I would stay here again but in a different room."
