The hotel was beautiful and the accommodation was very comfy. Staff were lovely. I liked that you ordered breakfast rather than it being a buffet like everywhere else we had been (and I finally got a decent oat milk latte)

The beach opposite wasn’t great, pretty to look at from the hotel but I wouldn’t lay on the beach or go swimming there, we stayed by the pool which was good. Options for food and drink outside the hotel were very limited unless you hired a bike to get around the island. (Only beer and wine served at the hotel and no alcohol in the cafe next door). I think our only real complaint about the hotel tho, was that when we were checking out, the staff came to get our suitcase and house cleaning came in and started cleaning the room while we were still in it. It would have been nice to have a final check that we had everything and use the bathroom in private etc (we were checking out earlier than needed as it was)

My second time in Jaiyen. I very seldom come for second time to any facility, but Jaiyen has something very attractive for me. I love the peace, the loveful staff. You feel the heartfullness of the place. I sleep very well and deep there. There is no arttifical noise of nothing, only nature sounds. From the last year there had been many small things made better. They offer also now some non-vegetarian choices in their menu, what is for me important. And they had very good new steam sauna. Very good wifi..

It is little bit remote, but to get the tranquility it is necessary. They rent anyway scooters. Beaches in Koh Yao Noi are little bit limited, but resort has a nice pool. Everything in the whole island is more or less closed 10pm, what I myself find good.

Such a peaceful and calming place surrounded by nature. You can tell it has been created with a lot of love. Staff was lovely as well and helped out with everything we needed. All the breakfast and dinner options we tried were really yummy and healthy. As mentioned by other reviewers, you might be visited by some adorable cats and dogs looking for cuddles :-) We thorougly enjoyed our time at Jaiyen Eco Resort and would love to come back some time! Note that Jaiyen is on the quieter side of the island, so your best way of getting around will be to rent a scooter which they have available (about 20 mins to get to the swimmable beaches).

Jaiyen is a beautiful resort and the staff are very professional and friendly. Somo ensured everything went smoothly from the beginning to the end and Yak took care of all of our transport (we opted for the semi-private option) and an epic island hopping day trip on a private long tail boat visiting the breathtaking natural beauties of Phang Nga Bay. The chef makes delicious food and was flexible to prepare packed breakfasts and lunches. The location was perfect for us, a quiet corner of the island yet still close to some local restaurants and shops. The busier town is just a scooter ride away. The cocoon was cute, spacious and authentic surrounded by tropical nature, and the infinity pool and outdoor gym overlook the sea and neighboring islands - perfect for chilling in the sunset! Definitely recommended!

Peaceful small hotel with very friendly staff. In the night time you just hear the nature. I slept very well and deep. Nice sun sets. The swimming pool is fine. Rooms are very clean and maintained well. Very helpful staff. Hotels vegetarian food might get after while little bit "thin" for non-vegetarian, but there is a good restaurant "Coco Bay Cafe" just beside the hotel.

The beaches are not very good for swimming on the whole west side of the island, but hotel is renting scooters, you can drive to east side of the island, where you can find places to swim during the high tide. A small table and sunshade to the "cocoons" terrace would be nice.

Absolutely loved staying here, and was easily the highlight of my entire stay in Thailand! The staff were all extremely helpful, with good customer service and great English speaking skills. The daily breakfast was absolutely delicious too. The three cats that the owner has are so cute, friendly and love daily cuddles, which made me never want to leave! And a huge bonus- it is close to the beach and has a gorgeous infinity pool which looks out directly onto the beach, absolutely stunning! Would highly recommend this place, and I cannot wait to go back!

It is a little further away from the “main” area of Koh Yao Noi, but if you are able to drive a moped, it is about a 20 minute slow ride to the more “popular” beaches and main area. It may just be a bit difficult if you aren’t comfortable riding a moped.

The most beautiful, relaxing stay. The perfect mix of nature whilst having privacy too. Delicious fresh food and an extensive drinks menu. Everyone we met had a calming energy so can I can only imagine the energy the co-founders have - which is a touching albeit heartbreaking story in itself.

Everything was so great that we hardly left to explore anything else on the island!

I had the most amazing time at Jaiyen! It’s perfect if you are looking for a place to relax and connect with nature, a quiet place on the lovely Koh Ya Noi island to recharge. Absolutely beautiful ocean view and fantastic staff.

Everything was perfect, if I had to name one thing that could be improved are the prices for food and drinks, I totally understand that this is a hotel but compared to regular prices in Thailand for food I find it a bit extreme (double to triple the prices compared to regular Thai restaurants on the island). The food was delicious :).

The menu was simple and very tasteful. They had the thaifood that you are looking for and the breakfast acaibowls was delicious and colourful! They also had their sweet and cuddly cats Luna, Foo and King as well as their two sweet dogs! The room/bungalows was a great design and all had aircon!

There wasn't anything we didn't like, but it takes 20 min. on their scooters (which is cheap) to the beaches but thats just fun and a great experience to discover the island that way!

Lots of space in the room, widely spaced units so no interference from neighbours. The restaurant food was varied and very good. Staff were excellent: helpful above and beyond, good advice on local restaurants and tours. Amazing sunsets every single night. Very peaceful area so do not expect access to noisy bars etc

The beach is not really swimable though OK to walk along
