9 Hornbills Tented Camp

房間真的美絕了！ 超級無敵爆炸出片！ 島上基本沒有中國人 適合悠閑的躺平幾天！

After weeks travelling through Vietnam and Thailand, we were so looking forward to a few days and nights of luxury and somewhere to properly relax and rejuvenate. We had an amazing Panorama Tented Camp with pool overlooking the spectacular limestone islands of Phang Nga Bay and Krabi in the distance. The accommodation (glamping with dark wooden floors, a super comfy four poster bed, bath with a view and an outdoor shower) was even better than the photos online. The service was wonderful and staff incredibly helpful and friendly. We organised a half day boat trip to visit Hong Island and other nearby sites, allowing time to explore beaches, coves and do a little snorkelling. It was one of the highlights of our trip. The food was also great. We ate at the sister beach resort (Koyao Island Resort) but also ventured out to nearby bars and restaurants which were greta value and offered tasty food. We both also enjoyed an incredible full body deep tissue massage in resort. I would happy return and would recommend 9 Hornbills Tented Camp (and Koyao Island Resort) to anyone wanting picturesque luxury away from the more crowded places like Phuket. Overall, it was great value for money and just what we needed before continuing our island hopping.

Booked several months ahead. Communication ok for arrangement of transfers. Boat drops you off at the beach of the hotel. Better be young and fit. For us (70y old) it was "challenging". Tent: getting old and sometimes at places a little dirty. Let's give it the eco-charm advantage. Outside shower and reasonably good bedding. Hard pillows. View: fantastic A buggy drives you up and down to the Koyao beach resort for the beach, the restaurant and the main pool. (Koyao and Hornbills are the same hotel) Nice beach, nice restaurant and service with a smile. Communication problems are easily overcome. Front desk is eager to please. Why 3 stars? This is not a 5star but a 4star hotel, too many luxury elements are missing. But mainly because next to the tents there is a major construction site planting a big concrete hotel into the hill. This construction represents everything that can destroy the authentic and laid-back atmosphere of Koh Yao Noi. This construction works certainly destroyed our peace and enjoyment of the otherwise beautiful setting. The construction is not about to end or finish, so beware of this (particularly if you end up in one of the southernmost tents). The price is steep and even steeper in high season this year. But this is the case all over Thailand. Is this overpricing killing the goose that lays the golden eggs?
