Elixir Resort Koh Yao Yai - SHA Plus

We had a great stay and enjoyed our villa with a private pool. It's great to relax and quiet location. Great breakfast options.

Liked the location and the scenery. The fact that we stayed at Ko Yao Yai in "low" monsoon season in August gave both benefits and disadvantages. The key benefit was very few people around us during all the stay. Most of the villas were free, so we got a great discount at Booking. The disadvantage was the huge tides twice a day that brought quite a lot of plastic rubbish. But the territory of the hotel is so huge that you can find a place to swim in the blue sea without rubbish (take the seaside location on the right to the reception, there is a magnificent lagoon separated from the main beach with high impressive rocks, and it's so cool to swim there, almost without any intervention from the people around). Our villa was quite big, with an "open roof" huge shower. A magnificent view to look at (skies , flying bats, singing night creatures 😁) when you take a warm shower at night! Really enjoyed it. Cleaning was regular and profound, the cleaning stuff and the girls at the reception desk were all so kind, smiling and helpful ☺️ The fact that they charged us for the room at the check-out, not at the check-in, without checking if we have spoiled any equipment, speaks for itself. Amazing people and stunning location! I especially liked the breakfasts: they were varied, with fresh fruit of different kinds and a variety of fresh greenery and veggies. All the breakfasts that we had were really tasty and enjoyable. One more "must see and experience" thing is a dinner at the Romantic Deck on the beach. It's really worth it! The view of the starry skies and singing night creatures are gorgeous and authentic. Don't forget to bring you favourite music, a bottle of wine or cocktails, and some snacks to enjoy the great night in the jungle.

The reception staff was very kind. The location is pritty isolated, with not a lot of things to do around, but we liked it. Good breakfast and very welcoming waiters and kitchen workers. We recommend taking the thai cooking class. Two small problems we had: 1. The baby cot isn't suitable for a 6 month old baby, but for a much older toddler. We managed to improvise a bed with the sofa. 2. The bath was so large that it took more than an hour to fill it up, and we didn't want to waste so much water, so we used it only once during our stay.

From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed by the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Their kindness and attentiveness made our experience unforgettable.welcome drinks were a lovely way to settle in and start our vacation. The hotel’s massage services were great. The cooking class offered by the hotel was another highlight. We had so much fun learning how to prepare local dishes, and the chef made it an engaging and enjoyable activity. Lastly, the atmosphere was just perfect—calm and serene, with a lot of attention to detail in creating a relaxing experience for guests. We couldn’t recommend Elixir Hotel more highly!

The location was amazing and the staff were incredibly accommodating. The breakfast was really good and I would highly recommend staying here to anyone
