Hotels near Ban Tha Rua

Everything was clean, staff was so nice and the food was good. :)) We loved everything

The host we're super nice.

We stayed for just 1 night and it was very convenient. The bungalow was simple but clean, near the port and many restaurants.

The villa itself is spectacular! We loved our stay there and all the staff were so accommodating and friendly. The view is also amazing, facing off the Andaman sea. The bed was comfy, I had a good night sleep over the 4 nights.

I liked everything. It is right on the beach, the rooms are large and there was a pool right outside my balcony door. The pool is very large and only about a metre deep so is great for families. The resort allowed 3 x 10 year old Thai boys to use the pool on 2 occasions. (children of my Thai friends on the island). The breakfast was very extensive. Great for early morning and evening beach walks. Koh Yao Yai is one of the lesser known islands, only 30 minutes by speedboat from Bang Rong Pier on Phuket. There is no night life but if you fancy just relaxing this is as good a place as any. The price was well within my budget.

The pool was really good, with a beautiful view out to the sea (across the grounds of the hotel). The room also had a nice view, with a lovely balcony which we used a lot. The hotel and room were nice and clean. The size of the room was superb.

The room was spacious, clean and quiet. It was very close to beach and “city center”. The owner is very nice lady who speaks very well english and even better german (must have lived there :)).

It might seem a trivial detail but the transfer to the resort was handled really well. We were collected from the airport by an MPV shuttle & taken to a marina around 25mins drive away. After a quick check-in there, we were put on a speedboat ferry & then dropped directly at the hotel's own jetty after a 20min boat trip. A really lovely way to arrive at our first holiday location! Our luggage was taken & handled by the shuttle, boat & hotel staff so we didn't need to worry about any of it until we arrived at our room. The views anywhere at the resort are spectacular & the view from our room lived up to all our expectations with a view of a bay, a small island & Phuket just on the horizon with not a single building in sight. The sunsets were amazing on all 4 nights. Check-in was really easy. The shuttles around the resort site were pretty efficient & waiting times weren't too long although I thought they should have extended the shuttle route up to hotel blocks 5 & 6 & the restaurant nearby at the top of the site, especially as this restaurant was the main restaurant that served breakfast. Breakfast was offered with a complimentary massage upon arrival at the restaurant. There were always plenty of tables & we had a choice of tables/views on each of the 4 days we breakfasted there. There was a good choice of 3 more bars/restaurants down by the beach & all of the tables plus every single lounger or seating location at the resort had a QR code to access the resort's full food & drinks menu so that we didn't have to wait to order in whatever location we were in. Another nice touch was being invited to a WhatsApp messenger group where a concierge service was available to help with any problems or organise an activity for us.

Wonderful staff, great views and delicious food

Comfortable good size room with pool access, friendly staff always there to help.
