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!

Cons:

Le scooter qu'on a loué avec l'hôtel était sur sa fin de vie. La qualité des produits proposés au petit déjeuner devrait etre améliorée

The nicest hotel i’ve ever stayed in
Pros:

The room was immaculate, attention to detail! we stayed for 2 nights and are already planning on going back, the staff put a happy birthday on the bed free of charge! we felt so welcome the staff are the best! so friendly and always smiling, the owner is fantastic too, location is perfect, right on the beach and you can see the most amazing sunrises at the hotel, laem had beach is only a 15 minute drive and 7/11 is only a 5-10 minute drive away, you can rent a bike from the hotel with no deposit fee! We had the best time at this hotel and that’s because the staff made it so perfect!

Cons:

Nothing

Great choice of hotel for a relaxing break on Koh Yao Yai
Pros:

My family of six adults spent three nights here and can't be more complimentary. Jerome, Anh (sorry if I've misspelt that) and the ladies who work there are all superb. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, clean and nice. The view is sensational - right beside the ocean looking out to many beautiful islands. The pool is well maintained and in a great setting. The food is good (and very reasonably priced). Cocktails are great. What more do you want? They also have old pushbikes and archery for free and motorbikes for hire. Transport to and from was easy to arrange (ferries, taxis). You can also walk to other nearby good restaurants if you feel like varying your setting.

Ruhige Oase absolut zu empfehlen
Pros:

Wir hatten eine unvergessliche Zeit im Better View. Direkt nach der Buchung wurden wir mit nötigen Infos und einem Transfer Angebot vom Pier kontaktiert. Der Service Vorort war immer sehr freundlich & hilfsbereit. Motorroller Miete war auch ganz unkompliziert direkt an der Rezeption machbar. Die Unterkunft war top ausgestattet mit allem was man braucht. Die Bungalows sind sehr geräumig, neuwertig und sauber. Das Bett ist bequeme, die Aussicht toll und das angrenzende Restaurant bietet leckere Gerichte. Der Pool im täglich gepflegtem Garten, eignet sich hervorragend zum abkühlen.

Cons:

Und hat alles gefallen, selbst der Flughund der jeden Abend an unserer Terrasse hing und sein Obst verspeiste. Die Insel ist sehr Naturbelassen und natürlich sind dort auch Tiere heimisch. Wir hatten aber nie ungebetenen Besuch im Bungalow.
