I will genuinely never forget my stay at Yanui Resort. What a place. I was getting to a stage where I was genuinely questioning if I was ever going to leave or just continue extending and extending my stay forever. The room (I stayed on 2nd floor, not the Budget one, which also look nice) was beautiful. Perfect for a solo traveller, a couple or even a small family (if extra bed added). Fully stocked kitchen, large walk in shower, balcony with mountain and pool view, firm but very comfortable bed. Such a peaceful, chilled out vibe at the whole resort and from all the staff. Optional purple mood lighting in the room was a great surprise. Excellent lamb shank in the restaurant. The area is one of the best in Phuket. Rawai/Yanui/Promthep Cape/Naiharn is a vibrant magical wonderland and Yanui Resort is placed right in the middle of it. Yet, it remains very quiet and cut off from road noise in the main. A scooter or car is highly recommended otherwise one might struggle to get around the above places with ease.

Suggesting improvements would be very picky, as everything is great. But if I had to say one thing then the blender in my room (yes, there's even a blender - how good is that?) was a little dirty. Everything else was spotless though and I survived my stay despite a slightly dirty blender! Just book this place it's perfect.

This is an exceptional, familyrun resort with a real comfy and intimate feel. The rooms are more like apartments, it was really great to have so much space, also as a couple, to have more than one room to spend time in is really valuable. The pool is gorgeous, in the middle of the building and can also be used at night, which is really awesome! The atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed, opposed to all these big hotel complexes with their anonymity (which tends to bring out the worst in people). The owner even offers a shuttle service to Nai Harn Beach, which he does himself free of charge - that is really very generous and sweet! The general style is a bit 80s and the furniture is a bit outdated, but that didn't bother us at all, since everything was very clean and comfortable! We felt very much taken care of and we really loved our stay at Ya Nui Resort!

At breakfast you have 8 set menus to choose from, if you are used to buffet breakfast, the portions and variety might be a bit small. Also the coffee is unfortunately not good - that said, it is really difficult to find good coffee at Phuket hotel breakfasts :-)

You should probably stop comparing this resort to other options if you’re trying to choose between several places to stay. The reasons are: - This resort is located in quiet area, some others aren’t, but you won’t know until you get there - Very clean rooms with everyday cleaning - I liked the zoning with trees and bushes, so while sitting on a couch outside my door, there was feeling of safety and privacy all the time - All in all, the place and guests are quiet and calm. The pool is very nice and clean. The hosts are friendly. Actually I’ve booked another two weeks after my stay is over but decided not to wait and leave the review now

Only positive experience

Huge sized bedrooms, lovely grounds and amazing swimming pool. Breakfasts were good, staff helpful and located in a quiet but nearby location to Rawai/Ya Nui and surrounding areas.

If I’m being super picky, the shower pressure was low and all round furnishings were a little outdated.

Comfortable rooms. Nice balcony to relax in the shade. Helpful staff. Lovely cats and dogs around. Convenient to have the bar /restaurant at the resort. Refillable water station a real plus. Pool is clean and nice to cool off in. Shuttle service to Nai Han beach is great and owner generously offers to drop guests at other locations. A smaller beach is also within 10-15 minutes walking distance.

Rooms looking a little tired. Some staining on the living room furniture. Water pressure a little low in the evenings. But fair for the price paid.

Fine room for the price and we all got to stay together. The pool was nice. AC worked ok The restaurant area was good for the kids - I wouldn't have minded something more local but realised this is hard to get in Phuket. The kids enjoyed the boring Western food. They also did nice room service too which was appreciated.

One of the kids got locked in the bedroom and panicked because the door mechanism jammed and had to call the owner to fix. The TV stopped working on day 2 (aerial problem) Beds quite hard

rooms were nice and modern with smart tv , fly nets on doors and windows , kitchen with everything u need , beautiful balcony and really good wi-fi . they have free water tank at the pool you can refill your water & it’s super cold 💧

i enjoyed everything. it’s quiet far away from everything though which might bother some people, we rented a moped off the owner for 200 Baht daily and we could explore the island that way or just to nip into town / beach / shop. we would have been lost with out it tbh but it made our experience so much more enjoyable. highly recommend

There was nothing we could complain about with regards to the accommodation, very clean, the staff was nice and when asked for laundry they cleaned and ironed our clothes. Very good service.

The Rawai area does not have much to offer and if you book any trips around Phuket, Rawai beach is not part of their free pick up zone so you will have to pay extra.

The resort facilities have been maintained well. I liked the choices of breakfast though I didn't get to taste them. Ham & mushroom pizza & pork strips with cheese were very tasty though it's a little salty to me. The environment was serene & cozzy!

It's rainy during this season. We would appreciate there would be umbrellas made available in the room. I would also appreciate if the pictures on the wall be more neutral and pleasant to look at instead of having religious expression of a personal portrait.

I wasn’t looking for the community vibe, but it grew in me. The short distance with Ya Nui beach was nice.

Nothing I really disliked, but I was expecting something more sleek and anonymous since I’m working, a little less bungalow style -although it’s absolutely as advertised, I just didn’t pay attention. It is a bit remote, which is why it’s chill, but meant I had to get a scooter to go around (which is very normal for Phuket). The one real limiting point, again no false advertising here, was that I didn’t have a proper desk. disclaimer: I booked last minute and was given the last available room.
