Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Yao Yai Beach Resort is often praised for its prime beachfront location, offering direct access to the beautiful, warm sea. Guests frequently highlight the spacious rooms, some featuring private sun decks and direct access to the pool, or balconies with sea and pool views. Breakfast on the beach is a common highlight, and the proximity to nearby restaurants and shops along the beach is very convenient; however, a few guests have occasionally noted a musty smell in some of the standard rooms.

Magical beachfront stay

direct access warm sea swimming pool

The hotel is directly on the beach. Stepping into the warm sea was very easy. The room opened onto the swimming pool. Direct access from my veranda was pure luxury.

mildew smell inconvenient location

the breakfast was acceptable (i am not a big eater anyway).

I had problems with the room. my 'grand sea' room smelled strongly of mildew. (it was not my luggage. I made sure of it). this was quite disappointing, and it affected the overall experience. the hotel is also very difficult to reach. The location is terribly inconvenient.
