We just got back from 3 nights here to end our week trip to Thailand. After 4 nights on the Yao Yai's sister island, Koh Yao Noi, we didn't want to travel to the more touristy areas and found this resort through Tripadvisor. It turned out to be just as advertised! A great place away from the mass tourism of... More

This is the side of Thailand that we were expecting-quiet beaches, no jet skis, banana boats, parasailing and the likes. We island hopped for a few weeks and unfortunately Glow Elixir was the last stop on our trip. I am sure that if we stayed there as our first destination we would have definatly stayed longer. The resort is quiet,... More

Due to work commitments and pressure involved in my career it is rare that I manage to sleep longer than 6 hours a night.

My wife and I stayed here for a week in early April 2013. We did a lot of research before our trip to find the perfect place to stay and settled on Koh Yao Yai as it seemed the most unspoilt, least touristy spot but still with beautiful beaches. And we were not disappointed! The resort is beautiful, our room... More

Agree with Pilotguy1's review on this place. We too paid the extra for the deluxe room which was great with the hot tub and the private swimming pool, we were slightly up the hill which also made it quite private compared with some of the similar rooms right down on the beach. The beach is beautiful and the water visibility... More

I really do not know how people can complain? After Phuket, this place was truly paradise! Golden sand, clear waters, yes the tide goes out (?! it is the sea?) but we always had plenty of time during the day to swim. Plus, the rocks etc look very pretty at sunset when the tide was out! Beautiful sunsets! Activities (including... More
