Blue Bay Resort - Access to Pool and Beach-Phuket & Krabi

A fantastic resort to enjoy and relax. We extended our stay from 2 days to 5 days, that's how much we enjoyed it. There's local restaurants, food stores, local Masjid and a weekday food night market 2 minute walk outside the resort. Everything is Halal too. We made the most out the beach and the swimming pool. There are floats in every swimming for guest to use and canoe boats on the beach. Breakfast was included, it was a bonus to the resort. Every day there was different hot meals available and the food was refilled immediately. Fresh fruit, croissants, toast, fresh coffee was available as well as an egg station. I would highly recommend this resort for families and couples. I will definitely be back when I visit the island again. I am already missing the resort as I write this review.

Lovely stay at Blue Bay Resort. It took roughly 35 mins from the pier to the resort, when we arrived there were many people checking in and the resort made this process a smooth process. Breakfast is included and had a good range of food, room was spacious and clean. Make sure to pack mosquito repellant !! Beach on the doorstep and pool at the back, kids really enjoyed their time so we extended for a few more nights. Restaurants nearby with convenience stores and a night market full of local vendors. Highly recommended !

The room was supposed to be with a sea view, but it wasn't. I was traveling with two kids and  they forgot to make a bed on a sofa in the room, they also haven't provided enough towels. The pool is very odd in these type of the rooms, I guess pool access bungalows are better.

Good hotel to stay at but quite pricey, lots of stairs to walk up to get to room but other than that great stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Restaurant served nice food also and right on the beach which was beautiful. Rooms not that big but big enough to accommodate staying here.

The hotel is nice but I should have realised from the photos it would be over-run with screaming kids! The beachfront location is stunning and the beach is lovely and clean, walk down to the beachfront early if you'd like one of the hotel loungers brought onto the beach, it's very peaceful until the loud families and Russians turn up a bit later! The breakfast was basic, I would like to see more choices, a bigger selection of fresh fruit and better coffee machines (they were constantly breaking during our stay). The restaurant menu wasn't that great, and the staff in the restaurant were not very attentive. There are a selection of lovely local restaurants and cafes nearby that have much better food, I'd recommend trying some of them, all walking distance. the room was good, although nowhere near enough shower gel, shampoo etc for two of us to use, thankfully we brought our own. No sound proofing from other nearby rooms which was annoying when we had to sleep early and the neighbours were awake until 3am on their balcony. The lagoon style pool around the resort is a great idea but not great if you don't want screaming kids splashing around outside your room all the time, even late when the pool was supposed to be shut. All in all it was a nice stay for families but as a couple we would not book here again as we prefer more peace and quiet!

99% of the residents on this Koh Yao Yai island are Muslims, and although the hotel's breakfast is not halal, the front desk will help explain this to the kitchen so that as long as you tell your room number, you can enjoy a halal breakfast, which is really nice. Our room was very nice and big, but please remember to apply mosquito repellent oil or spray before going out, otherwise you will invite mosquitoes to enjoy a feast 🤣 We went to a restaurant near the hotel for dinner, and the food outside was completely halal and very delicious. We were unlucky because it was not sunny when we went. I believe that if you go on a sunny day, the view will be more perfect, but it was still good for me.
