We were looking for the perfect tropical island, a paradise with few tourists and village-life. We finally found what we were looking for in Koh Yao Noi. The locals of Koh Yao Noi were some of the friendliest we had come across in Thailand. For a country that’s full of welcoming, warm people, that’s really saying something.
Then it was Dan’s Koyao Retreat and the great host. Sin and the ladies took such a great care of us. It felt like we were staying in a home. Luckily we were alone during our...

Purana is a wonderful place to stay for a private holiday. Our transportation was very complex. We were arriving after the ferry to the island stopped running. They arranged private transportation for us. A taxi was waiting for us at the airport and took us to the boat. Seamless! When we arrived they acted like they were waiting just for us. They sat us down with the best welcome drink and were so incredibly friendly. Our villa was #8 which is up a steep hill, but they always took us by...

Beautiful tranquil location off the beaten track. Basic sleeping hut and bathroom but that’s the charm in coming here. Run by the wonderfully attentive ladies with food prepared and cooked to order. Relax, read, swim and chill.

This was the best hotel we stayed in during our trip to Thailand! They were amazingly accommodating and the space was so nice. It's a wonderful little haven and so relaxing! Plus they had so many wonderful activities you can do. We stayed for 2 nights and did a phang nga bay tour during the day. It's also just up the road from The Green Coffee Shop which will give you some of the best prices on the island for booking bay/island tours.

The hotel has an ideal location steps away from a small but uncluttered beach. The staff and the owner / Dimitry really try hard to make your staff comfortable. Really like the set up of the villas around the pool but at the same time you don't feel like you are on top of the pool or next to your neighbor. Overall, would recommend and would stay again.
You can get a "taxi" at one of two ports for 100THB per person. One port is on the Eastern side of the island north of the hotel and the...

We had a wonderful stay at the Koyao Bay Pavilions. James and his team gave us a wonderful welcome and tour of the site and got us pointed to some local spots for food and scooter rental that all worked out great. If anything, we wish we would’ve stayed longer at the Pavilions as it was so nice and secluded from the rest of the normal tourist spots in Phuket and Krabi. If you’re looking to unplug, relax and get away from things this is the perfect spot!

This was just an incredible experience. Daow was incredible, she really made our stay there so amazing. I will recommend this hotel to everyone I know.

I was wrapping up a separate vacation trip to Phuket and wanted a nice place near the airport for the 3 nights before I could fly out. I found this on Tripadvisor, with a deal from Expedia. In my younger years I worked in hospitality, so I'm a bit jaded about hotels, especially resorts. But I thought I'd go for the experience and am pleased to say that the Slate exceeded all expectations. In over 60 years of travel, I'd be hard pressed to say that I've had better service, cleanliness and meals...

Top notch from arrival to departure. They arrange and take care of every detail. The villas are so private and well maintained. Staff and management go above and beyond at every opportunity. Breakfast was great every day whether they brought it to your villa and set up a white table cloth breakfast for you or you join them by the water for the buffet. Could not have been more impressed. Way to go 9 hornbills, we can’t wait to come back!!!

We enjoyed our one night stay! Everything was clean and very comfortable, and there were also nice touches like a stocked mini fridge. Very convenient area to walk to local shops/night market. Would gladly stay here again and recommend to other travelers!

Three days of total relaxation. Not much to do around the area but the grounds are lovely. We enjoyed the seafood buffet on the beach, exceptional food. Breakfast was amazing.
