8IK88 Resort

Do not stay in this hotel. And if you do certainly do not book any excursions or transportation with the management. I agreed and paid TB 9,000 for a long tail boat trip around the bay. I say many offers of trips for about TBaht 1,600 per person, including canoeing and lunch. As there were four of us I decided to pay the premium for a private trip and was promised something special. What we got was the same trip as every other tourist, but without the lunch. To add insult to injury the hotel added TBaht 2,000 to my bill at checkout for the ten minute canoe trip that we did not request but assumed was part of our tour. A complete rip off. I had booked a transfer from the airport on arrival. This did not turn up. I booked a room with a verandah. We were given an upstairs room with a net outside a sliding door. Neither safe nor appropriate for a couple in their 60's. We were transferred to a downstairs room the following day. It had a sunken bath but they wanted an additional TBaht 1,000 to fill it!! The only thing going for this hotel is the view. It is exceptional and memorable. The hotel itself is run down and neglected. Poor door locks. Insufficient air conditioning. The beach could be nice but it is completely neglected. Laziness on the part of the management. My recommendation - visit for a drink and soak up the views but do not consider staying.

The hosts and the staff are super friendly and extremely helpful. During our stay, we felt at home. The food was authentic and delicious, full of local herbs and veggies. The hotel is proving that Phuket, as an island, still has so much to offer. The hosts gladly share the local tips and help with the organization of excellent sightseeing tours. Localization close to nature ensures a peaceful atmosphere and breathtaking sunrises. The resort also fulfills all boujee needs (bathrooms and bedrooms with a sea view) for a fair price. The size of the resort also works in favor of a peaceful and calm atmosphere. The resort provides free transport to 7Eleven and the closest pier. Organization, communication, atmosphere, amenities, localization, and experience are simply on point!

We stopped here for coffee and were blown away by the most amazing view and then great coffee and highly recommend the honey toast. The owner was delightful filling our water bottles and adding ice - highly appreciated. If you go for coffee make sure you go to the bathroom!!

Just a dream! 5/5 Stars! 8ik88 literally blew our minds. This hidden gem is everything you need when arriving in Thailand. Our room was spacious, clean and very tasteful. A highlight is was a net draped in front of our window where you can chill or take a long sun bath. The hotels owners are the nicest people ever, the overall service was immaculate. We highly recommend asking the owners about their trip offers. (We’ve booked the all day private longtail boat trip which was breathtaking all along). While staying at this beautiful boutique accommodation make sure to try their fantastic local cuisine! Especially the tasty local breakfast)

Attentive and friendly staffs. Spectacular view of koh Yao island. The place is close to the Bang Rong pier, and the owner offered the free transport to the pier so it was a great place to stay overnight before going to the pier. It was worth of my money spent here
