Positive Reviews
positive:
Paradise found.
Many guests said that pictures simply couldn't convey the pristine beauty of Paradise Koh Yao. Several visitors felt like they were alone in the jungle, and noted the lush hillside greenery that backs onto the white sand beach and postcard-perfect sea. You might want to bring a good book and set yourself up in a hammock, because guests said that this was the perfect place to relax.
positive:
Amazing rooms.
All guests seemed to be pleased with their accommodation. Rooms were beautifully furnished, with magnificent views from balconies and outdoor areas that guests never tired of looking at. Everything was up to standard, and all that was left to do, was to sit back and enjoy paradise.
positive:
Stay busy.
Besides staring at the stunningly beautiful views, guests who wanted to stay active were impressed with the range of things to do. Yoga classes were highly recommended, and the spa was said to be top notch. Boat rides were available for island hopping and exploration, and guests liked that they could do as much or as little as they liked.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Total seclusion.
While many loved getting away from it all, others didn't like how far away the main village was. If you wanted to go out for dinner or see civilization, a 30-minute tuk-tuk ride down a long and bumpy road was the only option.
negative:
Save your pennies.
Some guests thought that they should have allocated more of their travel budget to excursions and activities. Many commented on the high prices for things like boat trips, transfers, and village tours.
negative:
Mixed staff reviews.
Most guests described staff as friendly, but some found certain staff members to be impolite or unable to communicate in English. Slow service was also a common problem for several staying here.
