Saengsuree Villas Koh Yao Yai

Has to be location first, stunning views, we only stayed for one night to have a bit of us time and it was the perfect date night, lovely infinity plunge pool, villa had everything we needed. The restaurant on the beach was perfect! Great vibe, even better view, food was amazing, couldn’t fault it, breakfast was good too. Namfon really looked after us as well as organizing our transport to and from the hotel. I’d definitely recommend the villa.

The roof terrace was a perfect viewing spot, shame it wasn’t well kept to enjoy fully.

The host met us at the door, very friendly, helpful, welcoming.. not enough words to describe her and her colleagues.

The location was amazing, easily the nicest views on the entire island and close to everything you need. Its a quiet location, especially during low season, so you really get to just relax and enjoy peace. The staff were so friendly and readily available for anything i needed.

Only thing that could have been better, and it's a personal preference, was the bed was a bit hard.

Alles was top, restaurants was geweldig

Everything about the resort was amazing! We were escorted to the villa and checked in quickly and easily. The manager was so helpful and approachable, with excellent recommendations and answers.

I wish we could have stayed longer

Le petit déjeuner était correct

Etat de la piscine principale mal entretenu carreaux cassés et crasse sur le niveau d'eau et le pire les terrasses en bois kc et clous qui sortent du plancher idem dans la salle de restaurant Nous l'avons signalé à l'hôtesse d'accueil

The resort picked us upon arrival and did check-in in our villa, which was convenient. The villa was large and had a good view on to the beach and ocean. The plunge pool was nice to have. There are a few good restaurants around, and the restaurant at the beach is decent. The beef Khao Soi is recommended.

The grounds were under-developed. Well defined walkways with shrubs and flowers would have helped. One did not have any sense of luxury being there. Toilets at the restaurant and pool did not meet any international standard; they felt more like outhouses. The villas were passable, but again felt more like an standard apartment in any European town, nothing luxurious or specifically Thai about them at all. One is paying only for the plunge pool on the terrace, which is nice. But if not planning to use the plunge pool often (we didn't), then one can get far better value at other places on Ko Yao Yai, or indeed other islands. We were there during off-season (May) so there was no breakfast buffet, only ordering from a paper menu. When generous buffets are the standard for resorts of this price range, it was disappointing to only have a few items which which to choose. The tides here are large, making swimming during large parts of the day not possible, although walks along the sands/mud tidal flats were an interesting alternative.

Very spacious, well kept private pool, nespresso machine in the room, spacious bathroom with large walk in shower. Very nice staff. View from the restaurant at the beach is fantastic.

Some minor wear and tear in the villa was showing.
