Lake-side villa with private pool, absolutely beautiful resort, great staff! I did not expect a 5-star resort treatment and it is not, but for the value I felt like I got more than expected. Everything I needed for a relaxed holiday. Very clean rooms, no mosquitos (you are in nature, keep the doors shut!), very good breakfast with variety every day (not a grand buffet, but a simple, very tasty breakfast with eggs, fresh fruits, pancakes etc.). Scooter rental for good price and free pickup from harbor. Dinner options good and decent priced, but better options on the island. It is a quiet resort and I liked that, staff is super friendly, will definitely be back.

Lake-side pools are visible from neighboring villas and from across the pond during the day, so it does not feel that private. There was a bit of construction and renovation going on during the day, but the season just started, so I understand. Shower was very weak and cold one evening. Thai food felt a bit too westernized (little spice...). I suggest asking the guest how they want it. Bathroom slippers would have been nice considering that I had a pool outside. Shower gel was too thick to get out of the bottle easily. Most of all: Why are there birds kept in tiny, tiny cages hanging on trees in the park? Very cruel. There are so many free birds that one can see just walking through the park, we really don't need them in these cages. They seem frightened and exhausted, just set them free.

This place is absolutely amazing, if you're debating booking it, BOOK NOW! As soon as we arrived we were made to feel totally at home; Kai greeted us with a huge smile and a delicious cold welcome drink which was much appreciated after a long and hot boat ride. They picked us up from the pier and then dropped us off at our next hotel for free which was so generous. We stayed in a pool room which was absolutely stunning - the pool looks out over the lake and after reading other reviews we were very surprised to have no issues with Mosquitos, even when we went for a late night swim they weren't any by our pool. The bed was super comfy, bathroom had a huge shower and the rooms were cleaned daily. They have a restaurant on site which was delicious and very reasonable prices. They also have happy hour at thier pool bar which was really good. We rented a bike for the day and they were so accommodating and helpful (my partner has only ridden a bike once before) so they gave up their time so he could go for a little practice ride. Other reviews mention the resort being a bit tired (yes we had a few tiles missing in our pool but the views and peacefulness totally outweighed that) but for the price you pay this resort totally exceeded our expectations. We can't wait to return and will be recommending it to all of our family and friends.

Nothing, it was perfect!

Really beautiful and peaceful eco-hotel with many individual bungalow rooms, located in the midst of the jungle. We stayed for 4 nights in their Deluxe room with balcony which turned out to have a private pool too. Very comfortable bedroom and you have all the facilities you need. The common pool area is very welcoming and cosy, and the hotel restaurant serves really good Thai food, albeit a little pricey for Koh Yao Noi.

Hotel was slightly far from the main beaches on the island so you'll need to rent a motorcycle or tuktuk to go there and back - which will cost extra

nice quiet setting with open views from the lake side rooms. the private pool is a great place to relax and cool down. staff were very friendly and helpful. you can also book a motorcycle from the resort which is highly recommended for Koh Yai Noi.

a very high price for the facilities provided. the bed was super hard so this was disappointing and there isn’t adequate privacy between rooms so lounging in your room or the pool is visible to neighbours. this could be addressed with more landscaping.

The houses are beautifully designed. We were unlucky as we had a really bad weather during our stay, thus, we really appreciated the comfort of our private cottage. The staff is very nice and helpful. The main pool area is beautiful and the resort isn’t too big, so it feels very homey.

The private jacuzzis are nice but since they are not heated its a bit chilly to use them during the wet season (yes end of November is still very very wet). Some appliances require more care and maintenance (eg the tap in the bathroom was a bit moving etc.). Breakfast - requires improvement for this type of resort.

We loved everything about this place! From the moment you arrive, it is complete relaxation. The staff are super friendly, attentive and happy to help with any questions and organising trips/transfers. We had a pool villa overlooking the mangrove. The room was beautiful, well maintained and clean. The bed was comfortable and the shower was warm and powerful. We rented a scooter from reception for 250 baht per day - a great way to see the island! 5-10 minute ride away from the hotel you will find plenty of restaurants with amazing seafood. The food in the hotel restaurant was delicious and there was a small but fresh breakfast with eggs made to your choice.

Nothing! This is a really special place

Awana was a great place to stay on an idyllic peaceful island. We booked a pool villa and the room was truly exceptional. Spotlessly clean, bright and airy, lovely bathroom and fabulous sunny balcony overlooking the lake. Kai was extremely helpful with transfers and scooter hire, but most importantly accommodated my allergies to fish and nuts (not too easily avoidable in Thailand) with no problem at all. We stayed three nights and ate supper there each evening with no issues or worries. The main pool was in a beautiful setting, shade later in the day, in time for happy hour🍹🍸 The main town is walkable but scooter hire (250 THB for 24 hrs) made island adventures easy. Pasai beach and the coastline beyond was very beautiful.

a bit of tlc is required around the grounds, and many tiles had fallen off and were loose on the bottom of our private pool. Small issues which would be easy to resolve to make the resort exceptional overall.

Very close to the Manoh pier. Staff was friendly and helpful. Very informative about places around and willing to help book or call for what we needed. We loved our villa and private pool. Bathroom was very large! The place was quiet. Definitely need a moped to get around the island, and with one it's no problem. Bed was large and comfortable, as well as the pillows. Gave 4 free bottled waters every day. Small morning breakfast and a bar /restaurant to order drinks when you want.

Little to no hot water, but that wouldn't deter me from booking again (Even though I love a hot shower). Be aware that you're in the middle of fields and on an island, there will be bugs, geckos, and frogs. None of them will bother or harm you.

The bungalows (with small pool) and the beautiful location is really something else! The location is somewhat remote but a scooter or bicycle will sort that out for you. Don’t be a cheapskate and get a bungalow without a small or big pool, this is wat make these bungalows and resort the excellent place what it is!

Pricing of food and drinks in the resort are relatively high. But still, compared to European prices it is still very cheap. The location is remote, if you are afraid to drive a motorcycle or normal bicycle, you should consider a taxi or tour.

The property was quiet and comfortable, and the rooms were lovely. We loved the private pool and the main pool. The setting is beautiful. Breakfast was good - fresh eggs and fruit were good. Housekeeping was great.

Things were inconsistent. The water pressure wasn’t great & the water temperature wasn’t hot enough in the conjoining room where our friends stayed. Their TV also didn’t have Netflix, so on rainy days, there isn’t anything to do. The restaurant & happy hour were a bit pricy. Happy Hour seemed to change from day to day, which was confusing.
