Purana Resort Koh Yao Noi

Room was beautiful! View was amazing over our own pool. Staff was friendly and helpful. They had scooters to rent and we toured the island. Loved it. The only thing that could have made it better was lounge chairs on your own deck.

What makes this hotel is the staff. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave you are treated with kindness and hospitality. The resort is situated on the other side of the island away from everything. There are a couple of restaurants nearby that the hotel will drop you at but everything else you might need is on the other side of the island. This resort is nestled in the mountain side and is great if you want to be secluded and away from everything but unfortunately we couldn’t swim in the ocean in front of the resort because the tide was always out and there was alot of rocks. I would recommend renting a motorcycle from the resort to get around the island. Breakfast is made to order and there is a nice selection. We did a long tail boat trip to Hong Island organised through the resort which I would highly recommend.

The rooms are very clean, and the breakfast is excellent. The hotel staff goes out of their way to fulfill every wish and is extremely attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Overall, Purana is an outstanding hotel and can be highly recommended.

Okay. We’re sitting at the airport right now, waiting for our flight home, and we’re basically just agreeing on one thing: this place was such a good choice. First of all – we went for the room with the private pool. And yes. That was absolutely the right decision. Being able to just jump in whenever we felt like it, no sharing, no noise, just our own space… it was honestly kind of perfect. And the staff? Seriously sweet. Like, genuinely kind people. There wasn’t a single thing we couldn’t ask about. They were helpful without being over the top, always on it, always smiling. You just feel welcome straight away. The room was really clean. Not just “hotel clean”, but properly clean. Everything felt well taken care of. And the bed – we have to mention the bed – we like a firm mattress, and this one was spot on. We cooled the room down with the AC before going to sleep and then just used the ceiling fan at night. Worked perfectly for us. Also: it was quiet. That matters. Another thing we didn’t even expect: they have bikes, scooters, even a motorbike with a sidecar. We used the bikes for a couple of days, and it just gave us this easy freedom to explore. And the food? Honestly better than we expected. For hotel food, it was really good. In some cases just as good as what we had in town. It’s a bit outside the city, but for us that was actually a plus. More calm, less noise, more relaxed atmosphere. So yeah. Sitting here now, we’d definitely choose it again. Big thanks to
