Purana Resort Koh YAO Noi

I had wonderful 2 nights at Purana thanks to Mar and Aslan, their hospitality made me feel like staying at my second home, I also got to know a bit more about the people from Koh Yao Noi through them, which would def be one of the reasons I’d visit here again:)

服務非常熱情，食物很不錯，泰式美味。如果可以儘量訂villa，觀景和私人泳池都很不錯，小眾旅遊，遊客不多，可以放空一切自由享受。

Purana has a lot of positives: very nice staff, excellent restaurant and comfortable clean rooms. There are also some negatives: 1) the resort is built on a hillside so there are steps and hills everywhere: to access the restaurant, to get down to the "beach", to get to the pool. If mobility is an issue, this is a problem. 2) it is isolated from the "action" and the best beaches, which are on the other side (eastern) of the island. Unless you can ride a moped, you are stuck at a resort with no real beach A pet peeve of mine is when the room safe is not secured to the wall or to a cabinet, making it useless as it can easily fit into a backpack and be opened off-site. When I asked the front desk to have someone secure the safe, they refused to do it because it would put holes in the cupboard. Consequently, we had to carry our passports and money with us the whole time. What ever happened to the motto "the customer is always right"?

This resort is truly amazing. The service is fantastic! They arranged everything detail . Our plane arrived after the boats stop running for the day. They arranged a private after hours boat to bring us to the island. When we arrived it was if they were waiting just for us, they hurried down the stairs to meet us with a fantastic welcome drink. They arranged all excursions and massages. We felt like our experience was their number one priority. Highly recommended for those who want privacy and off the beaten path!

Purana Resort on Koh Yao Noi is easily one of the best resorts we've stayed at. We stayed in the beach front bungalows for five nights, which were really comfortable. We loved sitting on the balcony to relax, and to enjoy the fantastic views, especially for the picturesque sunsets! We also enjoyed the swimming pool, which was great for cooling down in the afternoons. The staff were all incredibly helpful and friendly, helping to organise transfers, bike hire and a really enjoyable private boat trip to Hong Island. The service was impeccable. We loved the food and drink throughout our stay, including the best piña colada cocktails on the island, and the most delicious prawns and curries at dinner. A big thank you to the whole Purana team for a memorable and special stay. From Jason, Phillip and Claire

The hotel villas are situated on a forested hillside overlooking a beautiful bay. The villas are beautifully decorated and comfortable with a deck for enjoying the exquisite surroundings. The hotel beach has a tiki bar with decks that are perfectly situated to watch the set set. The restaurant serves 5 star cuisine and overlooks a butterfly garden that is a peaceful setting for breakfast. The hotel property is quiet and the cool ocean breezes are relaxing. The staff is very attentive to ensure that you have the perfect stay. Motor scooters and bicycles are available for rent to explore the island. A perfect getaway.

The best hotel in our entire visit to Thailand. We stayed in Villa 2 with the infinity pool and the most incredible views. Sumai, and the other amazing members of the team could not do enough for us. We spent 4 nights and could have stayed way longer. We ordered several times from the restaurant and the highlight was the green curry and the chicken roti, delicious! The resort overlooks a beach which isn’t suitable for swimming but we hired a scooter to explore, and found some lovely beaches on the other side of the island. The island is still very unspoilt so it was great to visit and appreciate the villages and countryside. We also went on a private longboat trip which we organised through the hotel. Sumai and the team were up early and insisted on making us a packed breakfast and lunch to take with us. We felt very well looked after from start to finish and we will definitely make sure we visit next time we travel to Thailand.

We had a great stay in a Garden Villa - beautiful, clean and comfortable Villa. Loved spending time on the patio, the hotel even delivered us dinner one night to eat on our private patio. Breakfast is delicious with lots of options. The staff is very welcoming and accommodating. Beach bar is cute with chairs to relax and enjoy an afternoon or evening cocktail. Location is the only potential downside to be aware of - most restaurants and sandy beaches to swim and spend time on the beach are on the east side of the island. If you are comfortable motor biking which we are, it wasn’t a problem to motorbike 15 minutes across the island or into the small town. You can rent a motorbike directly from the hotel. But the location is quiet and beautiful!
