Stayed at Paradise for 3 nights during March 2025 as part of a 2-week trip around Thailand. Paradise was the highlight of our trip (Bangkok a close second). The hotel is wonderful, very relaxed, designed and built to be sympathetic and co-existing with the natural island environment, so close to the beach with public areas relatively compact. Transport is so simple if organised via the hotel; pick up from Phuket airport, aircon’d minibus to the marina, then boarded a speed boat for a 40-minute ride to the island; so easy and we felt really looked after the whole trip and return, well worth it. Rooms. We had two spacious and very comfortable rooms for our party and ended up with an upgrade to a private sea view plunge pool deluxe studio for my sister and law and her husband, with our superior studio upstairs with some amazing views of the tropical forest and sea; This was a fair uphill walk from the restaurant, but the benefits of the views outweighed the walk. I never got bored of the view and was happy to sit sunset and sunrise just gazing; very chill. We also had a visit from the local Hornbill birds in the trees next to our deck area which was amazing, so beautiful to see them up close. Restaurant is pretty good, extensive menu, reasonably priced, and consistently tasty. The two bars were great, small and rustic, happy hour at the beach bar was greatly appreciated. Some reviewers have complained about the prices; considering it’s a remote island; we didn’t have an issue and it was still cheaper than UK prices. An ice-cold Chang beer always goes down well ! Phang Nga Bay (James Bond Island)boat trip. This trip had been on our bucket list and we considered doing this from Phuket, how glad we were to book this directly with Paradise and go from Koh Yao Noi. There was four of us and we ended up having the long tail boat to ourselves. This was easily the best boat trip we’ve ever done throughout our holidays. Thanks to local guide Jacket and driver Babe who were excellent, their local knowledge, personal care and attentiveness to us was superb, Our local guide Jacket was able to take us to some amazing places and timed our visits to places of interest to avoid the bigger Phuket boat tours. Khop Khun Krap guys ! What a fabulous and memorable day we had ! We had a wonderful stay, an amazing boat trip, wonderful staff, I would have stayed longer ! Read less

Beautiful location, so many birds and lizards. The resort is beautiful, bed was extremely comfortable and all of the food was delicious. A great place for couples and I’d love to bring kids here. The activities were a lot of fun, island hopping was delightful. Batik painting was a great way to make a souvenir to bring home.

Stayed here for a short stay in April, absolutely beautiful place and so peaceful, the staff were friendly, a great place to stay at the end of a busy holiday to unwind and relax. The food was very good with special occasions celebrated (Thai new year while I was there) with a magnificent buffet style meal.
