Kkelvin.likes.cheeseMy stay at Yawn Yard Kouri Island (Sea) was overall very pleasant. Each villa features a private swimming pool and an outdoor soaking tub, offering a serene and luxurious retreat. The in-room dining service was especially ideal for families with infants—like ours, with a 3-month-old baby boy. It allowed us to enjoy meals without worrying about sudden crying episodes disturbing other guests, as might happen in a public restaurant setting.
The dinner provided through in-room dining was exceptionally delicious and thoughtfully prepared. We truly enjoyed both breakfast and dinner in the villa’s outdoor courtyard, where we could take in stunning ocean views, sunsets, and even rainbows—a truly magical experience.
The bed was incredibly comfortable, adding to the overall sense of relaxation and making our stay even more memorable.
That said, it’s worth noting that the villa’s design leans toward an eco-lodge style. The bathroom is located at the rear of the house, requiring guests to walk through the outdoor courtyard each time they need to use it. This can be less convenient in the evening, especially when insects like spiders are more active. For this reason, the accommodation may not suit everyone.
ผผู้เข้าพักI booked two connecting rooms for a four-night stay, having also stayed at this hotel last year. Unfortunately, this visit was a noticeable step down. For a five-star property, the service fell short in several areas. Check-in was slow, with only 1–3 front desk staff and a wait of over 10 minutes before anyone assisted us. Dining was inefficient—meals took too long, breakfast lines were constant, and utensils were not properly cleaned.
On checkout day, I requested a bell cart, which was confirmed but never arrived. Follow-up calls to the front desk went unanswered, and there was no staff available to help with our bags. The checkout process itself was long and poorly managed.
This experience was disappointing compared to last year. I hope the hotel takes steps to return to the standard it once upheld.
ผผู้เข้าพักThe hotel room was clean and very spacious. The jacuzzi was big enough. It was outside the balcony. The staff was very friendly. They offered us a gift to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
