Koyao Bay Pavilions - Beach Resort and Pool Villas

We liked it all, the villa is absolutely astonishing, beautiful architecture, lots of nice details that makes you feel home and great pool and garden with loads of plants flowers etc. This boutique hotel and villas are a gem hidden in a beautiful island away from the mass tourism and crowds. The owners and the GM are super nice, very helpful and supportive to make your stay memorable. It was the highlight of our whole stay in Thailand and I deeply regret I didnt know it in advance to have stayed a bit longer. The property has a private access to the beach with a amazing view on the archipelagos and Ko Nok, its more wild and different as the tides goes up ans down, as other places in Thailand, but definitely my favorite place so far amongst all the Island we have visited over the years. It’s a huge coup de coeur for us for the restaurant, the food is amazing and it was the only time in Thailand I had so much exceptional traditional thai food, superb curry’s and other recipes, portions are big and the staff is super kind and provide a high quality of service like service a la francaise. He breakfast are great, delicious thai omelette or other a la carte juice and continental dishes. Asma and her colleagues are lovely and I truly enjoyed spending time at the restaurant speaking with them, thank you! The villa was just perfect, so confortable and very well designed and maintained; housekeeping is great; and finally we have done all our excursions and tour with Ryan and it was just great, taxi tour around the island, boat trip in the archipelagos, lovely driver and sailors. All great!!!! Thank you!!!!!

Staff is amazing, very friendly and helpful. Restaurant really is one of the best on this island, high quality. Everything clean and fresh, well-kept territory. Me and my family really enjoyed to stay there.

We stayed in one of the three beach suites. The space was beautifully designed. The restaurant was the best food we ate on the island. George, his partner, and the whole staff were very accommodating and helpful. It’s a short walk down the beach (only at low tide) to a collection of restaurants and bars.

The property is beach front. Although, our villa was not exactly beach front but barely a short five minute walk away. Villa was neat, clean, spacious and aesthetically maintained. The pool was shared with another Villa but was quite big. Outside sitting was also very comfortable. Ryan very promptly guided about scooter rental, things to do on the island, attractions, ATM, boat tours. Their La Sala restaurant is one of the best places to eat on the island and really serve good food. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The Pavilions are about a 10 minute walk from the main road, so we took most of our meals (except for Wednesday, when only breakfast was available) on-site. The food was very good. We took the breakfast option, and had a choice of continental or Thai, each one had two or three options. Lunch and Dinner menus did not change, but there were lots of choices so we wouldn't get bored. There were some options that needed to be ordered in advance (special prawns and fish), but we didn't try those. We can't say enough good things about the staff. George and his wife Bee, were extremely gracious hosts, and Ryan (the GM) was on-hand when we arrived to show us around. He was just superb in arranging transportation, mountain bikes, and having kayaks ready for paddling to a nearby island or beaches up or down the coast. We had cocktails regularly and they were quite good. We had fun talking with Khun Bee about wine and her choices were spot-on. We stayed in the Beach Suites (adults only - as the pool is deep and without a lifeguard) that were huge. There is a separate outdoor lounge pavilion with sitting areas, hammocks, coffee and tea, and a desk area, with a ceiling fan and floor fans. The bedroom area is huge, ample closet area, and an outdoor shower and dual sinks. The two floor fans were enough to keep us comfortable at night (no AC).
