Truly Paradise
Pros:

Amazing paradise for my family trip during Holiday season 2025.

The journey to this paradise is uneasy - taking a car to a pier, and then speed boat and local transfer, but it is truly worth to do and do it again and again.

We will definitely revisit this peaceful place where is wonderfully being maintained with super lovely staffs.

A gem.
Pros:

Location - 10 minutes from the pier, transfer costs 200-300 Baht.

Transport 100 Baht per person, more or less from & to anywhere on the island.

The view from the hotel is beyond amazing.

A lovely mix of 20-30 good restaurants and beach bars all within a 10 minute walk make this a perfect location, avoiding the need for transport at night.

Rooms - Garden villas and traditional 3 storey hotel blocks. Upper floors have the ocean views.

Bed was comfortable, TV, coffee making, stocked fridge with free water daily, prompt and efficient room service, safe, great a/c, reasonable sized wardrobes, plenty of drawers, sofa and European plug sockets. Bath robes and slippers.

Bathroom with both bath and walk-in shower and good water pressure, basic toiletries and basic hairdryer.

Food - Brilliant breakfast buffet. Evening restaurant was good but plenty of choice locally to suit all tastes

Externally we recommend Rice Paddy restaurant.

Amenities - Strong WiFi, Gym, pool beds with separate adults area, 2 pools. Complementary yoga and push bikes.

Service - Excellent, everyone was really friendly and helpful.

Summary - Not cheap but worth it. We will return.

The larger island Koh Yao Yai worth a trip if you have a motorbike. 10 minutes across by boat. Less touristy.

Great location to relax in comfort. Very professional feel to the place.
Pros:

We arrived on the Island of Koh Yao Noi via speedboat transfer into Phang Nga Manoh Pier where we took a Taxi (200Baht) and around a 15 minute ride to Cape Kudu Hotel.

The hotel is located on the east of the island, having beautiful views over the sea and towards other islands in the distance.

The staff were wonderfully polite and friendly upon our arrival and gave us a tour of the facilities, including the swimming pool, dining facilities, gym and coffee shop. We were informed of activities that take place on a daily basis, which included litter picking along the beach which we thought was a great idea.

As we were early for check-in, we utilised the sun loungers positioned overlooking the sea and blissfully waited for our room to become available.

We had 4 nights in a “Deluxe Double or Twin Room with Ocean View”. These rooms are located within 3 separate tower blocks that are set towards the rear of the hotel.

The room was well equipped with air conditioning, mini bar, complimentary water and snacks, safe and a TV, and had a lovely balcony with hammock style seat with views out towards the ocean.

A breakfast was provided every morning offering a mix of continental and Asian choices, cereals, pastries etc. The coffee is ordered when stating your room number to the staff member, unfortunately on two of the days these never turned up due to how busy they were and that we don’t tend to spend much time over breakfast ourselves, and in this regard it would be nice to have just been able to grab our own hot drinks from a machine.

The hotel has a very corporate feel to it, chinos, polo shirts for staff, and just failed to give that sense of being on an idyllic island. And with that corporate high end feel to the hotel, it was a surprise to have the cereals and juices in cheap plastic containers.

We didn’t utilise the restaurant for any of the meals as there are so many options around the hotel all offering wonderful food and drinks.

All in all, a really nice hotel, offering a great location, and friendly staff. Just maybe not what we as a travelling couple are looking for from an island retreat hotel, but that’s not to detract from the hotel itself.

Cape Kudu Hotel - Koh Yao Noi relaxing and peaceful
Pros:

My husband and I spent 4 nights at Cape Kudu hotel on Koh Yao Noi. It was amazing, quiet and very relaxing. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. We were treated well. We really liked our room which had a view of the ocean and a chair hammock. It was lovely decorated with a beach theme. The room was clean and well kept. The aircon worked well on hot humid nights. We liked that the hotel offered free kayaking and bicycles to ride the island. The hotel offered cool drinks and happy hour. A shout out to Deed, Adha , Toey, A, Abby, Rot, Rose, Matthias, Diana for their awesome customer service and support.

A Boutique Hotel With Style!
Pros:

The location is old school Thai, blending in as it does with the surroundings and coastline. Rooms are specious and well appointed with high quality fixtures and bedding.
From minute one the staff were amazing!! Polite , well mannered and caring throughout my stay . A big well done to Antoine the hotel manager and all his staff.
Pool facilities are small but adequate for the number of bathers. Oh and an adult’s only section too. Food including breakfast was extremely well presented and organised ,with an excellent range of food choices every day .
Happy hour ( a proper 50% off) was a great addition to the complimentary cocktail hour once a week ,complimentary cycle hire and canoeing .Oh forgot to add the champagne on at some breakfast sitting too.
A day didn’t pass without staff asking how my holiday was going, a joy to hear.
Near to the hotel is a good range of reasonably priced restaurants again serving good home cooked Thai food.
I could go on ,but I think I’ve summed up my fabulous stay at Cape Kudo . So why don’t you treat yourself to a boutique hotel with real style and elegance. Certainly worth it !

Not sure 5 star but very good 4 star French boutique feel
Pros:

Cape Kudu is easy to love. Great styling, very reasonable and delectable food and cocktails (happy hour every day too). Breakfast especially was wonderful!! We loved the location next to a good beach and some good quality bars and restaurants. Also, the small intimate nature of the place with chic views and Hornbills flying around was quite unique. We had a great couples massage and made use of the kayaks, pool table and bikes. But, if we’re being really picky, one thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars or thinking it was 5 star was the staff. It was all a bit reactive in the bar/restaurant rather than proactive. Don’t get me wrong, the staff were very friendly (apart from the lady who did the eggs who seemed a little miffed most of the time 😂!) and there were lots of them, but just needed a bit more prompting. But overall Cape Kudu was lovely and also good value all round.

Cape Kudu, French Colonial Perfection
Pros:

On arrival you immediately realise you have found somewhere special. The reception area is beautiful, reminiscent of French colonial design with shutters, white cane furniture and wispy drapes. Our welcome was perfect.

Our room, a Garden View Pool Villa was even better than we ever expected. Pretty much perfect, from its French Caribbean design, beautiful furnishings, wonderful private pool and luxurious bathroom it wrapped itself around us and comforted us for 5 heavenly nights. Best room ever.

The grounds are manicured and are a pleasure to stroll through.

Our dining experience was lovely but not perfect. We only had daily breakfast which offers the usual mix of continental, local and American dishes which were all good and delicious. The only issue was the layout of the buffet which was a bit all over the place. The only way to get a hot beverage was to ask for tea or coffee, then have it served. Much better if you could also help yourself. Finding things like butter was a bit tricky as it’s hidden in a fridge. To be fair, I think the hotel put looks before practicality which just means things in the buffet are a bit disjointed. With that said we enjoyed breakfast every day and the views from the restaurant over the ocean are breathtaking.

If you want a perfect treat that’s so different from any hotel you have stayed in then Cape Kudu is for you.

Fantastic Stay!
Pros:

My wife and I had previously visited Cape Kudu for our honeymoon in 2019 so decided it would be the perfect place to visit on our visit to Thailand with our 2 daughters and to celebrate our daughters 21st birthday.

From the moment I contacted the hotel to make arrangements to departing after our stay we received fantastic service. Transfers, location, rooms, food and facilities were great. It was a surprise for our daughters and they loved every minute of it.

We would like to thank the whole team at Cape Kudu for a fantastic stay. I don’t want to single out individuals as that would be unfair to the rest of the hotel staff who were great.

We will definitely be back the next time we visit Thailand.

Incredible!
Pros:

This was one of the best hotels I have ever been too. The service we had here is unparalleled. Jenny the relations manager is incredible and the kitchen staff is as well. The food is very delicious of course. However, I am celiac and they were able to accommodate this. They made special versions of all the dishes for me so I could eat them. Overall 10/10.

Beautiful location
Pros:

If all you are looking for is a quiet peaceful location away from hustle and bustle this place is a must visit. Mind blowing view from the lobby, pool, restaurant, and rooms so tranquil that you can even hear the sound of the waves from your room too. Look for Toto he an absolute gem, kind , helpful and always carrying a beautiful smile.

However if you are vegan or vegetarian this place can disappoints you. There is literally nothing to eat in breakfast and their vegan menu just had 5 items and out of that a few were not even available. Being a vegetarian that was really disappointing and had to travel to another island to get vegetarian food
