Ko Yao Noi Vacations from AED2,465

Staff were good, location very central. Older hotel that needs an upgrade.

The location of the property is excellent. You can walk right on the beach. Unfortunately, there were numerous flags on that part of the beach saying that you could not swim there. We had to walk just a short ways to an area where we could get in the water. The location is great if you want to be in the action at Patong Beach.

We booked this hotel because the group we were traveling with chose it based on TikTok reviews. For the price point, I think we could have purchased something better. However, we really enjoyed the welcome drink, breakfast, spa, floating lunch, and rooftop dinner. You can tell that this place is trying hard to reinvest into the property. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They even helped me arrange a welcome anniversary surprise for my wife. We booked a partial sea view room. Initially, we had a corner room with great AC and no view of the sea. Then we moved to a room with a partial view of the sea but with poor AC. My wife and I used the concierge to arrange a private tour for sightseeing. Minnie was attentive, personable, helpful, and communicative. The personal tour and driver she booked was the highlight of the trip. Also, this property sits on a steep hill. There’s a beach and 7-11 nearby, however, I wouldn’t walk to it. The property has golf carts and maybe you can have the staff drive you up and down the hill. They don’t even walk the hill. Overall, great staff, good property, and alright breakfast, but I think you can find more bang for your buck somewhere else. TikTok has overhyped this property. It wasn’t near anything we visited taking 45-1 hr to get anywhere.

Wonderful stay for families. Clean rooms. Staff were super kind and helpful. Pool was very fun. Resort restaurant, Eagle Ray, had a wide variety of foods - all very good. Beach was within walking distance which was a nice break from the pool. We were able to get into the ocean up to the shore but the currents were too strong and not advisable to swim in. Sunset was amazing. Overall, the resort had everything we needed and was relaxing. You could easily get a Grab if you wanted to be in the busier part of the area. We would definitely return to this resort.
