“I wish to be here forever! Best place is Koh Yao Paradise in Thailand.”
Thanks for arranging Speed Boat Pickup and setting our Weeding anniversary so beautifully. We will remember your kind service and yes the beaches of this private Bay in Ko Yao Noi. What is most good here is the service, people and lovely nature.

“Yoga retreat ”
First time yoga retreat and my first for the island. Day 2 and I love this place - yoga facing the sea just makes the experience really magical. Real bonus when the instructor is also great in her instructions and being able to customise the class accordingly. The only fretting part is the 1hour speedboat journey to and from Phuket for me - seems to be a test of one's determination before one reach the resort.

“Fabulous Resort for Relaxation”
We were return visitors to this fabulous island resort. This time we spent two weeks at Paradise Koh Yao to get away from the Australian winter. What makes the resort special are the staff and its remote island beach location under picturesque limestone cliffs.

Beautiful experience in a wonderful resort. We enjoyed 4 days at Paradise and indeed it truly is. Upon arrival we were upgraded to a one bedroom villa with a private pool with access to the beach for our honeymoon. It was perfect. The food was fantastic. Great authentic Thai food along with Mediterranean options as well. The breakfast buffet was also very good with a wide selection of different food each day. Also Woody the manager was very kind and arranged a romantic candlelight seafood dinner for us on the beach. We also enjoyed happy hour everyday at both of the bars. The drinks were fantastic. Some of our favorites were the Coco Loco, Mai Thai, and the mojitos. The activity center has a lot of trips available. We were given a complimentary snorkeling trip to a nearby island which was great. We also booked the Phang Nga Bay and James Bond Island kayak tour. Our guide Jeep was a genuine person. He is a great guide and told us about Thai culture and his life growing up on Koh Yao Noi island.The trip was amazing and unforgettable. We kayaked through caves and had a picnic lunch on a beautiful private beach. Back at the resort we also got a complimentary yoga sampler. I enjoyed a wonderful yoga class with Maria. We also had complimentary massages on the beach which was nice. Afterwards I decided to go to the spa for a signature massage with oils. The spa is beautiful and after the massage I felt like a new person. We also did the Thai cooking class which was a great experience. We learned to cook some authentic dishes and they give you all the recipes to bring home. 4 different dishes. Excellent chef. Above all we really enjoyed our stay at Paradise. The workers are so kind and always smiling. Very welcoming and amazing hospitality. Thank you for making the start of our honeymoon truly unforgettable. We hope to return sometime in the future.

Paradise Koh Yao is one of the best resorts I have been to. My partner and I stayed here for 9 nights and it was one of the best holidays we've been on. The friendly staff, delicious food and relaxing atmosphere create the perfect get away. It's so different to the hustle of Phuket and yet is still close to all the islands, so kayaking and snorkeling tours are amazing. Definitely will be back again.
Marc Bro Beier
Lovely stay, indeed a paradise.
Only suggestions for the hotel:
More rapid clean of plunge pools, not just clean for leaves - but complete empty and refill.
Consider a pool or billiard table
Pingpong/tabletennis table available at all time, not just specific days.
Great food, great view, lovely staff.
Will return.
Best advice plunge pool or hilltop villa, normal pool villa does not have privacy.
Ideal spot for couples.
PS: choose not to inform resort, but we were on honeymoon, thanks for a lovely stay.

We stayed there for our weekend getaway! It been a unforgettable weekend!. Everything is so peaceful and all the staffs was really nice to me. They all remember me and my room number, they all smile and there to help you. Wish to go back soon. Greeting from Bunnie and Sooojung ;)

What a wonderful resort, amazing staff in amazing location. The food, cocktails and service are to die for. The spa is world class bar none. I'm sure some of these people who have had a negative experience and commented here were at another location or purely discontented with their own life..... by the looks of them they were. The way I look at it is you can't afford a holiday stay at home.... It is amazing..... get in touch with reality.

Heaven on earth! It's name speaks for itself. It really is Paradise. The resort is amazing and the staff become your friends. Take me back!!
Josie Tanson-Collins
Myself and husband came over to have a brake from our busy lifestyles, we had a ball the shopping on crabby was fun. On our last few nights there my husband hurt his back and the staff could not do anything but help they even help get some medicine. So he was fine in 24 hrs, the staff's English was great we made great friends there. So thank you all for a great time I miss it
Sally Blackburn
Paradise Koh Yao is actually paradise!! The island is stunning, the resort is so beautiful; green, lush, feels almost untouched! Can't not speak highly enough o how beautiful it is!!
Angela Dale
We are on our second week at Paradise, and loving every minute. We had our Anniversary here, and had a room upgrade!! Room 141 is amazing!! Definitely recommended. The staff are incredibly friendly and eager to help, even if their English is not great, after all, we are in Thailand!! The "a la carte" food is so tasty and the buffet suits most tastes, having themed nights. Some staff stand out, Marry and Faii in the restaurant, and their amazing manager Oz. Boy and Tey at the bar, Leila in the beachbar, who comes to our beach area around lunchtime to see if we want any cocktails or snacks, Elias, the trainee manager, and our lovely housekeeper!!. I cannot fault anyone. I am looking forward to the remainder of our holiday, and celebrating my #+th birthday here on the 17th ( a lady never tells her age lol!!) Enjoy the tranquility!! P.s. the spa is great too!!
Carla Terceiro
Amazing resort but not so good service. Amazing views,beach and rooms. Service not delivering what we bought for and they dont care pretending suddently they dont speak english...
Trudy Clothier
Had a great relaxing holiday here. Yes I would go back again as I came away feeling very refreshed. Great staff, lovely outlook, wonderful food and large rooms. Great spot
Samantha Quinn
Quite a bit of false advertising at paradise Koh Yao. You can't make any outside calls from your room except to other parts of the resort. They advertise they have an on call doctor if you get sick. This is false as I found out the hard way and had to waste a whole day traveling back to Phuket so I could get antibiotics. The food is mediocre and not much variety. The staff speak very little English. All I can say is never again!
Tiago Lino
Wonderful view and service. The staff is lovely and very helpful, even though their English is not the best you can see they try their best.
Very peaceful place especially by the pool with soft music from the bar and all the trees surrounding you.
The bedroom is not at a 5* level but it's acceptable and the Wifi can be tricky sometimes (ask for the general login because the personal one doesn't work all the time).
Definitely recommend it for a couples escape.
Maryn Armour
Fantastic. Relaxing and very enjoyable. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is great. The room is comfortable and attractive.
Laurena Donoghue
We just spent 6 nights here and it has been amazing! The staff are very friendly and welcoming and provide excellent service. It has been the most relaxing week I have ever experienced. You can do as little as you like or choose to take part in excursions / day trips. We did a self kayak trip around the islands and it was great. We also did the island hopping trip where we had the opportunity to snorkel and that was fantastic. The food, service, our room, everything has been beyond our expectations and a trip we will always look back on with fond memories. We upgraded to a deluxe plunge pool villa and we feel it was definitely worth it with views of the bay, it has been so beautiful to wake up to the view each morning.
I am a vegetarian and there were many options to choose from on the menus.
We will definitely be back again and recommend to our family and friends.
Nienna Lusardi
We have just got back from our honeymoon and we had such a brilliant time, the room it self was clean and tidy and we loved all the nature and animals we could sit on our balcony and watch the hornbills in the trees and the fruit bats once it was dark. The staff go above and beyond for you we where planing on thanking all that looked after us on our stay personally but never got time :( the activities on offer are really special and made our holiday, kayaking and jungle trekking to name a few. The locals on the island are so nice and friendly as well. We can't wait to come back!!!
Jules Rico
Fantastic, tranquil place. Stunning location, accommodation, food and service.
Anita Cusack
Do not ride the elephants they are badly treated as you will read in other reviews. This resort has no problem with elephants been stabbed in the head until they bleed profusely and cry out.
Emma Fisher
You feel like you really have landed in paradise. The most beautiful views, stunning beach, a whole range of water sports on offer and a Huge pool. When it's too hot why not try some batiking with a local artist. Staff where lovely, great cocktails and delicious food. Yoga or a massage on the beach or just lying in a hammock reading my book. The only way out of paradise is by boat or truck unless your a hard core cyclist that can take on those hills but there really isn't much reason to leave.
Anikó Zimmermann
It's a real paradise here! Love to see the sunrise from our bed and have a bath in our own yakusi whenever we want. The early bird 'hok nòk' awakes you in the morning! very nice romantic place! don't miss it! Very good spa, lovely rooms, delicious food, thai and westernstyle, seafood...very exerted staff!
Jintra Supapan
what a real paradise!!
I'm looking forward to visit there again.
Clo Quinn
Literally paradise on earth.Enjoyed every second of it. The staff were amazing, warm and welcoming and they couldn't do enough for you. I'm a coeliac and they catered for me better than any other holiday I've been on. Can't wait to go back someday.
Rebecca Wellborn
After two weeks of scripted travel in Myanmar with a large group, coming here was the perfect was to decompress. Our suite at the top of the hill overlooks the cliffs and the sea and is comfortable and terribly romantic. The service is friendly and attentive and the restaurants are reasonably priced with creative menus. An excellent value away from the crowds of Phuket.
Wendy Ewin
Our wonderful holiday at Paradise Resort will stay with us for a very long time. Stunning beach front location, lovingly cared for by ground staff.
Fantastic views from the restaurants, pool and our second storey unit.
Well designed, 'shabby chic' decorated accommodation with comfortable bedding.
Delicious variety of Thai & Western style meals.
Friendly, generous staff, who go above and beyond, to make sure guests are well taken care of.
Much to see or do, or laze around and do very little. It's up to you to how you spend your precious time in Paradise.
Ivan Lalinde Gallego
Its not Paradise! Its HEAVEN!!!
This place is the best to take a real rest in the life.
Everything is so nice.
Landscape
Rooms
People
Food
Beaches
Sunshines
Yoga classes
All of that is very good!!!
Lorraine Bryant
Amazing place, beautiful people and wonderful food! My husband and I stayed seven nights and it was perfect to spend our 20th wedding anniversary there, thank you for such fond memories
Gay Hutchinson
The beauty of Paradise IS the fact there is no shops or restaurants. It's the perfect place to go & relax. If you want to do activities staff can help you arrange them. Staff are extremely friendly & helpful.
Wendy Simpson
We did the Elephant trecking and shopping! Half way through the ride! the elephants got spooked by trucks carting pipe. It was really silly for them to run it at the same time. We were that scared for us and the elephants , the elephants got cracks on the head and jabs in the forehead so loud you could hear what sounded like bone cracking, then when the elephants got a Crack or jab so hard the elephants yelled. There were 3 elephants in our group, one elephant was great, the guide got off and let the girl ride him. But the other 2 didn't really want to go a certain way, so the got cracks in the head when they wouldn't move, and the sound of them cracking the head, was like cracking a coconut. We were so scared for the elephant and us, us and one other group asked to go back, we were done, and didn't want to see any more bleeding than was really needed, the bloodwas running down his face about 10 minutes later. NEVER AGAIN.
Brenda Tam
They named it right, this is truly paradise! Friendly staff, amazing setting and amenities! A great place to relax!
Michala Wright
Absolute luxury. The plunge pool with our room with amazing views is just the best.
More Saran
Amazing view, super comfortable, nature is great, very good hospitality, many activities, it is one of the must visit places among the other islands.
Barry Mago
Great for couples. Forget it if your single. Good staff. Variety of food. Worth a try once. Will do a full report on trip advisor
Campbell Harvey

Heaven away from the tourists.
Very expensive hotel food and massages but the beautiful corners savages have a price
Lydia Mitbewohneri
Paradise is here the secluded beach, the beautiful panorama and the peace that they experienced in this resort. Recommended for couples who are looking for peace and quiet and relaxation.
Nami Srisawat
Ask price from admin about pro work normal day, it's really nice to be held this month admin said no pro for booking web page. When booking web page and then come and tell me what is a pro?? Don't make up for to accept the price of the series. Awesome. Disappointed service this time.
Nisarat Khoosuwan
Stay Here 3 NIGHTS 2 room hotel from the Thailand trip. Come cheap down 50 % this review for Thais, who entered the rest because as I read the reviews are mostly foreign
Love - a room clean, decorations beautiful blankets, mattress is good quality comfortable. / staff / good service at sea, beautiful. / there's a hornbill in natural face. So cute.
Don't like. - food. Not many expensive (fried rice chicken dish. 250 baht including taxes and charges) tastes good enough to eat. Like making foreigners eat which most of the guest 90 % Foreign (first read Bree. The view that food yum forgot that a review of foreign. Expectations, huh, that'll go eat. Sleep. Rest)
Don't like. - employees who don't have the heart fr̂xnth̒ service booked the room. 2 room, but no room for each other when booking in advance for a month. Let the bed twin. Don't provide until have to rant, so willing to make, and have asked for a room to move in together in The next day, but the new room, air not cold toilet not down before it's completed, spent almost half a day, but the resort, just make it up to by to tour ride, free market.
Introducing the journey - can devil resort by a long-tail boat from tha bay trip lane is 2,000 baht per person. If you stop by and tour the island room ko sesuvium before entering resort will be 2,500 baht
By the summary for 3 Stars because of the value of a room was from the tours if booked full price would be for just 2 Star.
Renate Schmitt
One of the best places to relax.... and the most delicious food ever. We are looking forward to see you again soon.
Stefan Schnatterer
Great service, great room with great views, right on the beach, quiet and luxurious.. massages are awesome.
Directions very adventurous with the jeep ;)
Sandra Pachouk
It looks beautiful. Well, I'd like to go and then for the first time in more than almost 20 years into such a beautiful place. Yes.
Ana Santanna
True Paradise... the sidewalks that the hotel provides are too much. .. a little expensive but it's worth it... stay the whole day at the hotel doesn't have a lot to do... and don't have any little shop of nothing... hey good bring everything... but the place is magical ...
Samantha Wilson
Beautiful beach, mediocre food, great yoga and fantastic massages. What let's it down is there are no local restaurants, shops or spas, it's literally just the resort. Great for a first timer visiting Thailand but not authentic enough for the more experienced traveller.
Manee Jaikid
I really love this place. Because its really nice & quiet. People friendly & and I love them always smile... make me feel good...I think some day I'll go back there again in the future.
Colin Thompson
Exception service beautiful location great rooms...only my first day so :) add a star later
Christabelle Brown
Breath-taking locality, excellent service, clean, eco-friendly, well appointed rooms, super-friendly and helpful staff. Explore Phang Nga Bay and Koh Yao Noi or just laze around on a hammock with a book or a cocktail or two. This place is paradise!
Brenda Crickmar
Excellent resort. Very private..Food good but a bit expensive! Atmosphere? Ahhhhh SOoooo relaxing.
Sylvie Thimoléon Guillot
It's a magical place, removed from the world, accessible only by boat. The food here is excellent, the lovely people. Everything is done to rest for away from it all.
Andrew Brown
My Partner and I checked out on 12 august after 6 wonderful nights there,
This is truly a beautiful place . From the room to the meals and all the activities we did it was just perfect. The staff where great, nothing I could or would complain about .
Just a great place to rest and relax.
Do as little or a lot its up to you.
Cannot recommend this place enough.
Thankyou
The staff are excellent and friendly. The rooms are well furnished and the beds are extremely comfortable. We would recommend dining in the restaurant as the menu is extensive, the food is delicious. ??
Kerry Hinks
We had a memorable stay in a beautiful and spacious hillside villa with stunning views and private plunge pool - remote but luxurious and the perfect escape from the world for a while!
Overly inflated food and drink prices (as you’d imagine for somewhere so remote) but will hopefully return some day.
Perfect if you want to switch off and feel immersed in nature - the staff couldn’t do enough to make our stay special
Thank you ??
Nutchanard Ramarsa
tIt is such a lovely resorts, great for couples and families who wanna have their time away from the hustles nd just relaxing your body and mind! staffs are super nice and friendly. Loved the experience!
Kayleigh Blackburn
We have stayed at Paradise 2 years in a row now. It's undoubtedly my favourite place on earth. Staying in different accommodation each time how ever all rooms are stunning there isn't a bad room. the veiws are beautiful and it's never crowded, Once me and my husband were the only 2 on the private beach one morning. Restaurant has vegan and vegetarian options to and breakfast is always full of choice . There is not many other places that match up to Paradise that's why we keep comming back. Friendly staff and great trips available to.
James Shout
Gorgeous adult resort. Rooms are spacious and very clean. Designer without being in-your-face trendy. Staff very attentive, excellent breakfast although coffees from a machine. Some units just metres from the ocean. Remoteness means excursions quite expensive and food options not cheap. For those looking for a quiet restful paradise though, it is perfect in every way
Susan Hornell
loved every minute of our holiday here
the staff are amazing..so thoughtful and they have made our visit perfect
our room was great.serviced every day
And omg the food was five star
Will be back really soon
so sad to leave
Jessica Desai
Beautiful Island and Resort.
but it cost 800bhat each way pp when you want to leave the hotel grounds to get into the main town to explore.
cant ride a scooter to the resort, need a off rd car/fourweel drive.
but overall beautiful island.
Stephane Priou
Je trouve cette station très agréable et très calme un vrai paradis le seul petit souci c’est quand on est français on est un peu perdu car il n’y a pas de traduction français heureusement il y a quelqu’un une personnel qui est suisse et qui parle français on revit sinon rien à redire sur le reste entre massage spa les loisirs et les restaurants que du bonheur ainsi que le petit déjeuner du matin que du bonheur un régal et le personnel un bonheur il sont à notre petit soins.
Mish N Bryce Henry

Thank you for giving us something to remember. 10 out 10
Annie Nassalak
Private island. Warm welcome since first step on here. Very impressed. Many activity to join Yoga. Kayak. Cooking class. Spa and massage. Each room has jacuzzi. Moreover you will find the sun rise view from every room. Perfect!!
Kellie Barnard-McLachlan
We have just spent 8 nights at this beautiful island resort, the staff go out of their way to make every guest feel important. We had a deluxe pool room with an amazing view. Such a relaxing place to unwind and relax. Very friendly atmosphere. The food was excellent always fresh and a vast selection, their Thai dish’s were the best we have ever tasted. Looking forward to another stay at this beautiful resort!
Beike Dallinga
We normally don’t really book resorts, due to cost, but I’m glad we made an exception. We had a amazing room with a plunge pool overseeing the beach and ocean. They offer loads of water activities, so even though it is secluded, you can still do a lot. I’m definitely going back!
Robina Sharp
This place is paradise, my husband brought me here for my 50th, and we just love it here, the staff are very friendly will do anything for you, the Island is absolutely beautiful WOW!!! The rooms are beautiful and clean , the food is awesome and happy hour is great cheap cocktails, and everyone here is just so friendly and will go out of there way to make you comfortable. I highly recommend to anyone to come and stay such a beautiful place so relaxing and tranquility gardens out of this world. It is paradise so beautiful and Tropical.

Juju Creek
One of the most beautiful places I've ever been to! Spent one week in a room on the hill, absolutely loved the view every single morning! Lovely staff, awesome food, great beach! You GOTTA see the Paradise!!! ?
Karen Pearson
Just spent 9 days at the friendliest, most exotic, relaxing place on earth
From the general manager to the cleaners, no request is not met. Staff go above and beyond and leave you feeling like you have just met the thai branch of your family.
The rooms are beautiful, clean amd exotic with spacious verandas that give a great view of the jungle flora and fauna. The layout gives the guests privacy, while happy hours allow you to meet fellow guests. Met some great people from around the world.
The food is world class and the spa treatments sooo good. Activities to suit everyone, from lazing by the pool or sipping cocktails in the warm waters of the bay, kayaking , yoga or vilage hopping.
The resort trains locals in all aspects of hospitality and is eco friendly snd a member of Core, set up to stamp out sexual exploitation.
One evening a man with six young teenagers, two boys and fours very young girls arrived uninvited from a yacht moored off shore. He proceded to abuse staff and complain to guests. When this was to?d to managment , the matter was handled quicky and professionally without any disruption to the guests enjoying the beautiful buffet. Well done Barry and Marco.
I will miss the fun and smiles from Jan, Charlie, Nok and of course Marco and Barry. Thsnk you for an unforgettable 9 days in paradise. See you next year.
