Koyao Bay Pavilions - Beach Resort and Pool Villas

Five star rating for this boutique resort. It is unique in terms of its accommodations, location, resort staff and management. Everything from start to finish was wonderful. The staff are very attentive, friendly and gracious. I did not want to leave. Food was lovely (Thai dishes on the menu that I have never tried before). The restaurant staff are welcoming and very helpful with menu recommendations. Housekeeping was superb. They were efficient, very quiet and thorough (thank you). Ryan the manager provided a warm welcome and made me feel settled immediately. George the owner was a diamond (very approachable and loves his resort). The pool was cleaned morning and night and the grounds were kept in good shape. My accommodation was a beach pavilion suite (adults only, so calm and relaxing). The suites are extremely spacious with the lounge area separated from the bedroom and bathroom by a small path. High vaulted ceilings helped to keep the property cool at night. These suites are kept cool by fans and the sea breeze (not by air con) which enhances the natural feel of the resort. You may see cute tree frogs hopping around the resort. They are harmless and will just chill wherever they lay their hat. Be kind and gentle if you encounter them. The pool is just steps away from the beach suites, is shared, and is deep and refreshing (Easy to get in, and easy to get out, even for older people). There are no children in the suites or in the pool. The beach is just a 60 second walk across the grass from the pool and has about 6 hammocks, 3 swings and a bench to lounge around on. Lovely view of the bay from there and the you can easily fall asleep in the hammocks to the sound of the waves, birdsong and the small cute, delicate crabs scampering in and out of their holes in the sand. This is a resort for people who want to switch off and relax. There are no TVs in the suites; the only sounds are the sounds of nature. The internet there is super fast so you will have no problems keeping in touch with home or watching movies if you bring your own device (use earphones). There are beach bars and eateries scattered around the island if you want to go out at night. Taxis are cheap and the locals are very friendly. If you come here you will find a super chilled, welcoming ambience. I can't wait to go back. Thank you for a wonderful few days

The best resort ever❣️. From the moment we got there it was spectacular and magical!! Resort was impeccable and perfect. The suite was out of this world. We had 2 huts, one with our living space and the other our bedroom suite with bath. So gorgeous and comfortable. Now the food……OMG …..OUT OF THIS WORLD🤪. So delicious, presented with plenty of smiles and food that melted in your mouth. Everything they presented before us was delicious and beautifully presented. Explained the ingredients and preparation. And the owner came and talked wines and spirits and they were spot on. We wanted a scooter to explore the island and the owner had it ready for us the next morning. We drove all over the island. Stopped at every shop and bar and restaurant we could find. So much fun! And the water…… just a few steps from our huts. The view with the mountains coming out of the ocean were breathtaking. We rented a scooter and drove all over. We visited other resorts but realized how wonderful our place was. We would definitely stay there again!

peaceful , relaxing and cozy little beach resort Very peaceful and relaxing settled in a beautiful tropical garden few steps away from a pristine beach with views over the magical Phang nga bay scenery. The definition of luxury is different from what you might expect . Luxury is the peace that surrounds you, the design and architecture , attention to details and the location. The staff and the owners are very welcoming and helpful whatever you may need. Loved that resort
