Baan Taranya Koh YAO Yai Resort

北の桟橋からほど近く、海沿いの綺麗な場所でした。砂浜が平坦でとても広く、遠くの島々がよく見えました。

We stayed here for three nights in a Honeymoon Villa. It’s most definitely a 3*+ place and not 4*. The room was ok, and as others have said a few more power outlets wouldn’t go amiss. The bed was ok for a few hours and after that becomes a bit of a torture device. The pool is ok, but by modern standard a bit of an uninspired block. All ‘ok’ rather than ‘wow’. The main issue with the place though is the restaurant, it really is properly terrible. If you are on a package including evening meal then that gets you the set menu, which is the same every day. And that menu is a choice of one thing - the same unchanging thing every day. You will have the same thing day after day unless you then pay for something else. And God help you if you are vegetarian as then the food options then really are awful. Technically the restaurant is run separately to the hotel as you pay them separately, but to all intents if you are a guest it is the hotel’s restaurant, in the hotel grounds, where you have breakfast, etc. If you are going here, it’s ok, but think of it as a 3* and you’ll be pleased, but not as a 4*. And do not eat here, rent a scooter and there are really good restaurants 5-10 minutes away to the right at the top of the road, or about 25 minutes away to the left. On the subject of the scooters, the hotel charges 700 baht a day for them, but walk five minutes to the top of the road and the place up there is 250 baht for the day. The hotel also gets very finger-waggy about ‘if you have a puncture you pay for recovery and for the new tyre’, but given the state of the roads a puncture is hardly the fault of the rider and is an inevitability at some point for some poor rider. Seems excessively harsh.

Property not to bad for the price Man on reception was quite rude though and wouldn’t help with the luggage Apart from this not to bad for a cheap nights sleep

Beutiful place We hade wonderful days at your place. We will give a litle extra cred to your staf. Both in the morning and at the evening. Little xtra too Chris from us. Berit and Håkan

In general it’s a nice resort, with friendly staff and a good breakfast, close to the beach. The room on the other hand was disappointing, it’s a nice modern, spacious room on itself, but the airco is making SO much noise that you can’t put it on during the night, which makes the room too hot to sleep. The room smells like mould. When we arrived there was still a dirty towel from the previous guest in a drawer which gives not so much confidence about cleanliness …

This is my 1st time here in this island for business trip. Im very very disappointed with the stuff.. since the time we have entered the property. We have asked for help for taking our bags and he rudely replied to take it yourself. I was very surprised at the stuff’s attitude. We also requested for getting our rooms fast since we have travelled a long way. Unfortunately that also took a backfire.
