Wunderschöne Bungalowanlage
Pros:

Wir hatten ein wunderschönes Bungalow mit Liebe zum Detail mit toller Aussicht direkt aufs Meer. Schöne Pool- und Gartenanlage. Jérôme hat uns viele Ausflugstipps gegeben. Mit den direkt im Hotel gemieteten Rollern haben wir die Insel perfekt erkunden können. Danke für die zwei tollen, erholsamen Tage bei BVR.

Cons:

Leider wird kein thailändisches Frühstück angeboten. Der Zugang zum Meer könnte schöner gestaltet werden. Essen eher hochpreisig.

Most enjoyable and very relaxing. Beautiful setting, we would recommend.
Pros:

The whole resort is beautiful & very well maintained. The food and drinks were lovely and high quality. The staff were lovely, friendly & helpful. The accommodation was of a very high standard and the jacuzzi bath is a lovely touch. The pool was clean and the views were amazing! Lame Had beach was beautiful. We would definitely recommend this resort!

Cons:

You can’t swim in the sea directly out the front of the resort and if you really want to explore the island you need to hire a scooter to get around as taxis are expensive.

Pros:

The hotel is very aptly named with facilities that take advantage of the amazing views. The host is very welcoming and the staff are very attentive.

The room is really comfy and pushes way beyond the three star rating.

Breakfast is not included but good value for money and amazing on the waterside terrace.

Very much recommend.

Een 4 sterren resort
Pros:

Dat dit resort geen 4 sterren heeft begrijp ik niet. De bungalows zien er prachtig uit. Er is veel energie gestoken in de details, zowel in de kamers als in de zeer ruime badkamers. Het restaurant is erg uitgebreid en de gerechten zijn smaakvol. Naast het mooie zwembad is er ook een mogelijkheid om te badmintonnen, boogschieten en nog veel meer. Jerome en Onn helpen je met alles en geven ook tips waar je heen kunt gaan. Ook de dames die in het restaurant werken zijn warm en begrijpen direct wat je wilt zelfs als het een aanpassing is op een gerecht.

Restful and relaxing.
Pros:

The view and resort was amazing. Chill vibe where my family and I were able to rest. We felt relaxed by the end and the location of the resort was perfect! It wasn't too far from the 7-11 and other activities.

Cons:

The prices at the restaurant were a little high, but that is expected when on vacation. Other than that it was a very nice location and service was exceptional. I would highly recommend Better View Resort, very little complaints.

A truly unforgettable holiday.
Pros:

I think we really loved everything. The 'rooms' were little bungalows, great for anyone who likes 'quirky'. The beds were super-comfy, the jacuzzi was great and there was plenty of space. The owner has thought of everything guests might need during their stay. The grounds are lovely and everything is well maintained. We used the pool a lot, but were also able to swim in the sea when the tide was high. No beach, but there are loungers close by. The restaurant served excellent food, scooters (the best way to get around) were available and cheap to hire. Best of all, everyone was so friendly and helpful. Jerome, the owner, was there to welcome us when we arrived with a cold drink, and his excellent staff made it their mission to give us a great stay. There are plenty of activities on the island, and the hotel will happily book for you and often get a better rate. Since we were staying off season, the ferry we needed to get back to the mainland wasn't running, so the hotel arranged to have the ferry from Koh Yao Noi swing by the island just to collect us!
A massive thank you to Jerome, Onn and all the staff at Better View resort.

Cons:

There was nothing we didn't like.

It really is a Better View!
Pros:

The room was beautiful - quiet, private, wonderfully air conditoned (very important!) and it lived up to its name...a Better View (in fact, better than anywhere else we've travelled in Thailand). The staff were friendly and efficient, and the sense of quiet and peacefulness was very special, especially as our stay was during the low season. Quite unusually, breakfast isn't included in the room rate - but that suited us as it meant we could explore the island on the little moped we rented and try out different places to eat breakfast. We also loved the daily visits to our balcony from the friendly kitties!
