Favorite resort we stayed in during our 3 week honeymoon . It shares a beach with the tree house that you have likely seen on social media but much more reasonable prices . We were due to upgrade to a pool room with a view for our last night but when we got there - there was no view . HOWEVER the staff could not have been more helpful and as there was no space at paradise we got a free upgrade to a pool suit at the tree houses next door ! Will definitely be returning .

Value for Money
+ Clean room, comfortable bed + Sufficient lounging areas inside and outside the room, as well as at the beach + Reasonably private pool deck, depending on location of your room + Nice infinity dipping pool with strong massage jets + Sufficient drinking water provided. + Reasonably priced food, although some dishes lack flavour + Nice and clean yoga space at the beach + Definitely value for money + Friendly staff (only the GM having his breakfast among the guests looked a bit grumpy) - turn down service only on first night - low water pressure in shower - can hear neighbours through walls and bushes (but that is only an issue if you have inconsiderate neighbours) - sign in the room says that the property is smoke free, but guests smoke in the restaurant and on the deck (and ash tray is provided) - a fan at the outdoor terrace area would be great

Paradise by Nature.
We stayed at Paradise Koh Yao for 4 nights and were very sad to leave. Although isolated from the main part of Koh Yao Noi it is accessible by local road transport or hotel transfer by boat from Phuket. The views into the rainforest trees from our room and island views from beach are spectacular. Rooms are lovely and choice of onsite restaurants, choice of food is excellent. The service from staff is welcoming and friendly. A great place to stage day island trips from or just relax in luxury. We can’t wait to go back.

Prison in paradise
On paper this should be a future favourite, however the cynical way in which this company has gone about ensuring that you can’t leave for the duration of your vacation along with sky high pricing ensures we will not be returning. Front of house Staff are surly, unhelpful and clearly numb to the constant bewilderment of guests when quoted for transport or activities. I appreciate that a place like that has high costs but 9000 bht for a boat to Phuket for 3 people is a disgrace (we did it for 2500) if you decide to have your spine realigned and book their vehicle to go into “town” you will have to endure 2.5 km of very rough terrain (deliberately left this way so you cannot rent your own vehicle and escape more regularly) cost 1000 bht. We were dropped in a small area that was mostly closed well away from the other hotels on the island to be collected 2 or 7 hrs later. We were done in 20 mins (case full of Chang 50bht each rather than 500 bht at the hotel !!) it’s such a pity that they’ve chosen to make it so ridiculously expensive as it’s in a beautiful spot. The rooms are very small compared to Santhiya on yoa Yai where we had been the previous week and much more expensive. Food is good but very expensive, there is no gym and activities like kayaking are charged where they were free at Santhiya. WiFi is very good as are tv options but despite all this we will not return to stalag 2022

Gorgeous resort, very relaxing few days
Really lovely and private resort with beautiful room and open jacuzzi/shower. We had a great two night stay here and loved it - very private, good massage on the beach (only for guests), private longtail boat trip (booked through the hotel) to James Bond Island which I’d highly recommend! Lots of options on the menu and great breakfast also. Pool was lovely and had a scenic view of the beach from it. Suitable for couples, friends and young families. Only thing I’d recommend is to get the hotels speedboat rather than public boat/taxi as it’s a much more comfortable ride - also, the resort does have numerous creepy crawlies as it is so private.

Beautiful place to stay. The staff are always happy to help and book any trips you like. You are a captive audience and they massively overprice food and drinks, this is the only downfall, but a pretty big one as a drink alone is over double the price of everywhere else.

Great place to relax with amazing views and food.
Everything was excellent, great room, amazing views, delicious food and very friendly staff. Totally recommended. The only small issue we had was that we couldn't fill the spa in the room with hot water every day, but given the location and remoteness of the place it understandable. Totally recommend.

Paradise Koh Yao is stunning! We stayed in a jacuzzi studio for one night then upgraded for our final night to the treehouse - both are beautifully designed and the treehouse upgrade was more than worth it for a little treat! Not a detail is missed in the treehouses, stunning decor and a real luxurious feel! The resort overall is beautiful being situated both within the jungle edge and on the beach, best of both worlds! You really do feel emerged in nature here with absolute luxury surroundings! We had spent the last two weeks travelling Thailand so this was just what we hoped for and more! The spa is beautiful also, so tranquil. All staff so so friendly and helpful and the food was absolutely delicious! We just wish we had had more time to spend here. The only slight down side is the accessibly albeit I would argue that adds to its charm and really does mean peace and tranquillity can be achieved. It also does mean however you aren’t able to explore the rest of the island as freely. You can book onto tours, which we didn’t do as we were here to relax and had already explored from a previous resort on the island. A moped on the access road would prove tricky if you are not experienced. We loved every moment of our stay and will 100% be back!

Paradise is paradise!
Fantastic location and almost all the staf made a 100 percent effort to be helpful. The pool is superb and the surrounding gardens create an incredible atmosphere. The restraints offered a wide variety of great food at reasonable prices. We stayed 9 nights in one of the private pool villas and it had a spectacular view over the beach and sea to the magnificent islands. Great value and we would definitely come again. Very romantic spot.

Very spacious villas, but that’s about it your on a island with a lot of bugs and insects and crabs etc. but most importantly the rooms aren’t fully sealed off we had bugs and mosquitoes all over the place the management couldn’t do anything about it, we stayed in over 10 different places and this was by far the worst experience I wouldn’t recommend it.

Oh my goodness- this place is truly paradise. Everything there went beyond my expectations. We thought this was pretty much a nice bungalow to stay at, but in actuality it is a full-on resort that is isolated from anything else. The only reasonable way to reach the property is by boat route (the hotel offers 2 departure times a day to and from Phuket) and I would highly suggest booking that and not messing around with your own means of getting there. We took a hotel "shuttle" to the village on the island and the road is a small jungle trail that only a four wheel drive type of car could probably handle. We were greeted off our small resort speedboat from Phuket with warm hand towels and a refreshment and an orientation around the property. We also were given coupons for a free yoga session, free drink at the bar and free island snorkeling excursion. The room is very beautiful and there are turn down services throughout the day, which is good because dirt is prone to settle in the room. It is a nice, clean room with good A/C, but also you don't forget that you're on the outskirts of the jungle. The bed has elegant netting around that alleviates any worries of dirt or bugs disrupting your sleeping. We got the jacuzzi room and the bathroom was open air with shuttered windows. There are three restaurants on the property and they were delicious and also the only choice of food- which was fine because they weren't too expensive and had lots of options.
