We are many times visitors to the Coastal Escape in Ko Yao Noi since they opened in late 2016 and make it a point to plan our vacations with this terrific company. We have brought many friends and family from over the world to this property and they have returned again with us, on their own, and have even planned weddings there. Here's why: Daniel and his team are first class, attentive in the best possible ways (that is, they instinctively know what you want and how to accommodate it), and all around the most professional and kindest people that you could ever hope to host you on a vacation.||||On a recent trip, the other island resort was booked when we hoped to travel, so Daniel stepped in and offered to have us at this newer (and albeit slightly different concept) property. What you are in for is pure magic. ||||The house is enormous (there are 4 in total, each very private), beautifully equipped, and superbly thought out for their guests. Have a baby/kids? They accommodate with kid focused furniture and toys, when needed. Want a massage? There is a dedicated private room for two at a time - in your house. Lounge by the pool? You have your own private 15m pool. And it fronts one of the more spectacular and (increasingly rare) private beaches (barely anybody) you'll ever go on; all facing west to a spectacular sunset. The beach goes at least 10km if you fancy a walk. The surf is mild and water temperature perfect. And the same hospitality and professionalism is very much on display here as at the other property. With an exclusive property like this, one would hope that the food is excellent. It is that and more. They cater to your every allergy or need and are always keen to help. During our stay, they even gave us a bonfire which was a fantastic touch. You really taste Thailand here. And Daniel and his crew are more than happy to arrange one of the many trips and highlights that this area has to offer - NOTE: This property is closer to the piers that take you to the karst rocks than most of the other resorts in Phuket (Translation - you will beat the massive throngs of tourists if you go early enough).||||This is all within 30-40 minutes drive from Phuket airport, but you'd never know it. Most tourists go south to the throngs of mega-resorts, which serve a good purpose if you're into that. However, if you go north, you get this quiet tranquility and no crowds, in beautiful, peaceful surroundings that are truly relaxing, yet with all of the modern amenities you could possibly want (Hint: Stay off the wifi, you can do it - just enjoy the place)!||||We couldn't recommend a group of properties more, or a better management team and leader to spend your hard earned and won time with. We'll be back and recommend that you look no further if you're planning to be in this area. Thank you...
Read moreHighly recommend this place for those looking to have a quiet moment away from bustles of city life. ||||I stayed here with my colleagues for a small corporate retreat. This has been a truly amazing getaway experience! There were 5 of us and we all had a great time. There are 5 big bedrooms in the villa + other areas for entertainment and recreation. They even have the multi-room speakers, and I put on some relaxing instrumental music with that. The kitchen is also big and fully equipped. For people who love wine, the kitchen is equipped with medium-sized wine coolers for you too. ||||I chose the room with garden view. It was a lovely, cozy and beautifully decorated room. Everything is neat and clean. The bed was super comfy. You will have your own cable TV with lots of channels and a mini fridge in your room.||||There are days that we didn’t eat out and had breakfast/lunch served at the villa. I love their shrimp fried rice and creamy chicken curry, a perfect combination!||||You can either dip into the pool with the ocean view or run into the sea. But the best part for me was that I got to have some quiet morning/evening walks along the beach each day. The beach was not crowded at all throughout the day. The walks never fail to clear my head. You don't have to feel rushed while watching a sunset over the ocean, because you know that the villa is just there. You can chill at the beach until the last of the light. The ocean view, by the way, is to die for. All in all, I will recommend this villa to anyone. ||||Thank you Daniel and all the staff who helped and assisted all our requests and created such an amazing...
Read moreSituation: a quick getaway for a family of 10 during a lull in COVID. Arrival/Departure- arranged and included from Phuket Airport. Nice van- short 30m drive north, away from the madness of the island. The Villa- Stunning- Very well designed, appointed and laid out. Great to get everyone together and many places to relax, hideout and be separate. 5 bedrooms are spread across 2 levels and 2 wings of the villa. The Grounds- Outdoor is excellent as well. Nice pool, bar, seating, lounge chairs and many water sports equipment included. Wonderful beach, even at high tide. Great body/boogy board surfing as well (for good swimmers). Food- We were the 1st customers in 3 months and the selection was limited but they did a good job. Good mix of Asian/Thai and Western selections. The prices are competitive for the west but expensive locally. Once restaurants fully reopen, if you want Thai or seafood, you can get locally delivered for about half the price. If budget isn't an issue, order from the Villa kitchen. Service- Very attentive and pleasant. You simply use the supplied Ipad to message directly them for whatever you want and they will promptly respond. They even quickly replaced our refrigerator when the freezer went out. Other: The massage service was excellent, prices reasonable and, of course, the Villa has a massage room in it so you don't have to leave your place. Overall Daniel, Nuch and the team were excellent from the time we booked to the time we left. By all...
