Ko Yao hotel rooms a the Banyan Tree

"Absolutely incredible stay – already missing it! We had the most amazing time here and feel genuinely sad to be back home. The rooms were spotless and cleaned daily, with refreshing air conditioning that made all the difference. Breakfast was a real highlight – an exceptional spread with dishes from around the world and so much variety. Both pools were clean with cool, inviting water, and the entire resort was immaculate and peaceful. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, making us feel truly welcome throughout our stay. One of our favorite parts was relaxing on the beach and pier lounges – such a perfect spot to unwind, have a drink and watch the sunset. There's also a charming little town just a short walk away, full of restaurants and a few shops, and it's super easy to book boat trips from the island. This has genuinely been the best holiday I’ve ever had, and I’m already planning to come back next year!"

"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. There’s so much to do in the area on top of an enjoyable accommodation at Sand Sea"

"Overall we had a great time at this hotel. We booked it with an all inclusive package. The pools are spectacular and span the entire property. Great service from staff. The one thing we were a bit surprised by was that the beach in the hotel is a reef so unless snorkelling not really an area to stay and float in the ocean. Other oceans nearby however they are not associated with the all inclusive package so if you leave you lose your benefits. Rooms are very nice but walls are very thing so can hear cars passing/chatting in hallways. "

"Great location and value"

"This was one of the nicest places we’ve stayed at. It’s like living in a treehouse in the jungle. Location is great if you’re looking for a quiet place to escape the craziness but also still close to everything. Room service was excellent and the staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. The check in was first class as way the rest of the resort. Highly recommend!"

"Beautiful property and wonderful service"

"Beautiful, very clean and lovely resort."

"The staff at this hotel were all amazing, helpful, and kind. The location is right across from patong beach which was very convenient, as well as there were lots of taxis available just outside the hotel. The deluxe room with the separate bedroom was so great and spacious, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The only problem with the room was that the AC in the bedroom was leaking quite a lot at some times, but the other AC in the kitchen worked fine. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and the willingness to help from all the staff. "
