Top Ko Yao Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Phuket, Patong Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"No complaints a very pleasant stay"

Le Meridien Phuket Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at Le Meridien as a group of 6, 5 Adults and one 8 year old for a week (one adult stayed 4 nights). We all really enjoyed our stay. The resort is large, clean, well maintained, with good amenities. Breakfast has a wide choice and wasn't overly busy. The hotel is a little out of the way, but 10-15 mins in a taxi gets you into Karen, Kata or Patong. The only slight negative was that we were given 3 rooms, weren't told which was which was allocated to who and this caused some challenges with charging food/drinks to the rooms, also with the early checkout. In theory this should have been easy to rectify but it never did happen. However, it didn't affect the quality of our stay or the enjoyment of it."

Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort

10/10 Excellent

"One of the nicest hotels we’ve stayed in, staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Our room was great with a stunning view and sunset, pool was warm, breakfast good. Kamala town was only a few minutes (and 200baht) in a taxi and lots of choice of restaurants. Would definitely recommend."

Katathani Phuket Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic family stay. We had a Grand Suite (Thani Wing) and the view was perfect. Nice big room for 2 adults and a child, though because the childs bed was in the living room area, we could have used an extra chair or seating option. Close to all pools and the beach. House keeping team were great. Excellent breakfast options in a clean environment. The hotel restaurants were quite a bit more expensive than the ones outside the complex, without much difference in the food. Excellent bars in the hotel. Happy hour at the Coconut Bar was 5.30 - 7 each day and included some fantastic sunsets. Variety of pools were brilliant. New kids pools across the road were fun and included a lazy river, as well as 4 slides and wave pool. Great location. 5 minutes from Kata Beach, 10 from Karon, 25 from Patong. Will return when we next visit Phuket."

Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa, Merlin Beach

10/10 Excellent

"L’établissement était à la hauteur de nos attentes. Tout était parfait : l’accueil, la chambre avec vue sur piscine et mer à la fois, les restaurants, les piscines, la salle de sport et la mer. Un grand merci au personnel de l’hôtel et des restaurants qui a été au petit soin, toujours très aimable et avec le sourire. Je recommande fortement👍"
