Beautiful scenery and hotel. We came during a rush holiday season so it seemed like staff could not keep up …tables were dirty from overnight and there was a garbage smell in main pool

Beautiful new resort
Beautiful new resort with spectacular view of the sea. Ko Yao Yai is a small Island which is interesting and safe to explore by scooter unlike most places. This is a place to escape..especially for families with young children

Best experiance and great vacation
We're staying for 6 nights in this wonderful resort.
We'have been perfectly hosted by our personal Villa host August, up on our arrival to the hotel pier until leaving. At any time we have a fantastic stay during these days and can highly recommand Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas. We will be back for sure. Thanks for all.

I would say the facility is excellent but the quality of service needs to be improved compared to the price and star given. Since the hotel area is large and needs a buggy for traveling from one place to another. Requests were received by staffs but there is no showed up for buggy and requests for other stuffs are quite slow and not yet impressive.

Absolutely Fantastic
Excellent stay at Anantara Koh Yao Yai. The property is new (opened Oct ‘23), and brilliantly designed. We had our infant and toddler so chose a Grand Family Sea View suite, it was spacious, well equipped (even a children’s toilet!) and beautifully designed. Our toddler loved the bunk-bed with slide, and the hotel even added a few ride-on toys to play with.
Staff were friendly and helpful and the WhatsApp service was very useful for asking questions and making bookings.

Waste of money.
Overpriced place with terrible food and service. 90% of employees don't speak English.
General Manager Patrick IIstam belevies that the mess is a standard for the Anantara.

We spent 12 days at this resort, and it was fantastic. The personell was amazing, always very friendly and went out of their way to help us.
We spent the entire trip travelling around the island, seeing everything it had to offer, and took different trips to see the Elephants, the sunset, monkeys picking coconuts, meeting lots of local people, all very friendly and helpful.
We felt very safe everywhere.
The hotel and its facilities were superb, only thing that could have been good was a little shop to buy some snacks and sunscreen etc. But we rented a scooter and got what we needed in nearby shops.
All in all an amazing holiday in the most amazing surroundings.
Will recommend both Koh Yao Yai and Anantara to everyone.

Fantastic Resort, Mediocre Service and amenties
Koh Yao Yai - is underdeveloped island still; Anantara Resort has Beautiful surroundings and a stunning facility - no doubt! the kids pool is also a fun feature
but - although the staff is friendly, the service provided by this resort does not quite meet the 5-star standards expected. for example, receiving coffee capsules took almost an hour after requesting them in the morning. additionally, the food is overpriced and not particularly noteworthy. unfortunately, the restaurant service is quite slow, with food often arriving 40 minutes after being ordered, and sometimes even cold. this can be especially problematic for families with young children. The Stuff is received directive to try and charge the guests as much as possible- and every step you do on the resort- the try to sell you something; we do not mind to consume- but it has to be done a little bit more subtle..... also - a little bit more attentions to the guests - offering an umbrella when raining ,etc......
that being said- Anatara is still great and lovely; we are sure they will be gradually improving their services also in this resort;

New property, so one can expect the good and the bad that comes with it. Best thing about the Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort is the staff. Genuinely friendly, and really put their heart into their daily routine. Top managers from the GM to the area managers are very professional, but the rest seem very young, and new.
Only negative I found during our family's 5 days stay was there was a group (Country's Dentist Association) occasion at the resort for 3 days, and all during the entire time, most of the front desk staff, including Concierge were busy taking care of their activities which negated regular customers. For example, they took over the entire resort lobby area and made it into their meeting room for 3 days. "Lobby" was moved to the next room which very small to handle all the regular customer's requests as the lines were often long. It was little frustrating at times as they seem to have plenty of staff available but most seem busy taking care of the event for the Dentist Association.
Resort's hardware is very well managed as with most first rate resorts around the world. With particular to this resort, I'd like to think the management will sort out the early kinks that comes with first year opening "pain".
Had a chance to meet the GM, Patrick who seem to have pulse to everything going on at the resort, and I am sure He will find a way to make this a first rate resort in Phuket, and in Koh Yao Yai Island.
