Mayalay Resort-Green Hotel

Front desk Jay was fantastic. Upgraded our room on arrival. Beautiful little island and really underrated spot

A bit of a mission to get to (and for the love of Kylie please avoid Tigerline), but worth it when you arrive. Peaceful, feels remote, idyllic, friendly, relaxed. Everything you want from a Thai island, without what happens on Phi Phi or at Patong. The perfect place to get to straight from colder climes (if anything the long journey helps you fend off the jetlag), and seemed more Robinson Crusoe-esque than Thanya or Fantasy to the south. Highly recommend a proper massage at the spa - the setting, breeze and nearby waves lapping in will make it memorable. I’m sure there’s more to do, but I spent my three days (straight from London) largely reading, sleeping, dipping in the sea and generally relaxing. It was everything I needed it to be.

This was our second time at the Mayalay Resort and we were not disappointed. The lovely Jay at reception always took care of everything we needed with a smile on her face. The restaurant/bar staff were always happy to accomodate any request, in fact, after I asked for some lemon for my tea the first morning, it just appeared on our table every morning after that as soon as the staff saw us arriving. The bungalows are basic but clean and comfortable. A safe has been added to the rooms this year, which is a big plus. All in all, a magical setting with lovely, friendly staff. We're booking for next year!!

Lovely stay in paradise with the beach just outside the bungalow.
