Absolutely perfect”
Highly highly recommend Glow Elixir on every level. We stayed a week at the end of october/beginning of november and loved every minute of it. The resort itself is situated relatively far down Koh Yao Yai and that leads to a wonderfully secluded feeling. There are no other resorts on that beach and so frequently we were the only ones swimming. The beach is gorgeous, good sand and lots of shells. There is a large tide which is fun to watch and most of the time you can still swim or wade, except at the absolute lowest tide. We saw monkeys on the north end of the beach one day. The facilities are well maintained and beautiful, our bungalow with pool was exactly as you see in pictures and actually larger than we expected. The outdoor shower was fun. The restaurant has lots of solid thai food, a few other dishes for people that get tired of it (though we never did), and a happy hour with a great thai sling drink. Particularly recommend the Tom Yum and Tom Ka Gai. Almost everything was at most 200 baht and most dinners for two (including 4 drinks and dessert) landed around $15. Breakfast was always solid. The staff were incredible, we felt so incredibly welcomed and you could see how hard they all work to make sure you have a pleasant stay. Every single person was just wonderful, absolutely above and beyond. We had them help with taxi to the resort which I do recommend as it is relatively confusing, and they were super responsive and helpful on whatsapp. Also recommend the island hopping tour, which they suggested and we thoroughly enjoyed.

Exceptional”
Our vacation was great! The transfer was organized very well, from the airport directly to the hotel and the way back. We booked the beach villa with pool. As for villa, needed renovation but as for cleaning I can give the 10 of 10 points. Whole resort has a big area and it’s very green. The restaurant food was good but unfortunately bar was temporary closed. Hotel staff made a surprise for our anniversary: our bed was decorated with flowers and we received a bottle of champagne. It was soooo nice from the side of hotel. Many thanks to the staff, they are really good and can fix almost everything! A little minus is that the hotel does not have any water activities , I mean in the resort. It will be great to have some water sport center where guest can rent non motor water equipment such as SUP. In general, we are really glad that our vacation was good and quiet. Many thanks again to the wonderful staff!!!

awesome remote off the beaten track gem”
stayed here during NYE 2020 to 2021 [yes covid 19 season] and absolutely loved it. solo woman traveler and was looking for remote, pristine beach, area for my yoga, with a restaurant amenities and wifi for work. this place met all the above. wasn't sure what to expect but the villas - specifically the beachfront pool villa ones are spacious and the amenities all here. The white pristine beach, and toward the far. right. of resort had an area for perfect sunbathing away from peoples [werent many during this time] anyway - making you feel like youre on a private island to yourself. I did yoga on the beach and grass during sunset and sunrise everyday and it was such bliss. Agnes - resort manager- and May at front desk and the team of delightful staff at the restaurant were such a pleasant crew and so so helpful! Highly recommend for families, couples, solo, groups. I was solo and loved it. safe and still just enough people. that it wasnt too quiet. enjoy! i'll be back

Perfect for Couples and Families”
We had a wonderful time at this resort. The private beach, villas, and staff were perfect. We booked this accommodation over others nearby based on much more helpful responses from GLOW staff. They helped us a TON once we were in Thailand in getting to the hotel and coordinating everything we had need for. Definitely rent a scooter and explore the island and grab some street food!

Many things was limited due to Covid-19 but nothing is the problem. We are undertstand the situation and we got the memmorable stay here. Special thank you for Khun Honey for warm welcome and a lady staff at breakfast that serve us with happiness smile. Villa at beachfront so amazing!

True paradise!”
If you wanna experience the real paradise on earth. You should go to Glow Elixir at Ko Yao Yai. Very friendly people, private beach and a very calm part of the island. We were really sad to be taken away by government for COVID reasons. We will come back as soon as we have spent the 10 days quarantaine! (and have some money left...) Hopefully we see you soon!

Stay here!”
This place will be one I'll always remember. Beautiful room, beautiful private beach, warm seas and amazing facilities. The food is excellent and it is a short walk (<5 mins) to other restaurants and places to hire a scooter or organise tours. The staff are worth a huge mention as they are so warm and friendly and were also incredibly helpful in organising all sorts of admin relating to COVID-time travelling! I would describe this place as tranquil, friendly and a true Thai hospitality experience.

Quiet place with excellent service!”
If there’s one thing that really stood out for me and my husband during our stay was the quality of the service. The staff were really helpful and courteous. The place is perfect as well if you are looking for something that is very peaceful. I think there were only 7 villas occupied when we were there. Location is a bit far from the pier but there are transpo services available. Beach was okay but there were quite a number of jellyfish (tho it’s for the whole ocean in general, not only to the resort area). Food was amazing! 😍 Breakfast options are a bit limited but they tasted wow! I also loved the room’s aesthetics. 🧡

Lovely location and staff”
We visited the resort in the beginning of December 2021, not long after Thailand reopened for tourists. It felt like we were still the only tourists on the island, which was both great and somehow weird as well. The location of the resort is great, wonderful beach in front and surrounded by palm trees. We stayed in a beachfront pool villa which was very nice. It’s not the newest anymore, but overall quite well maintained. The staff members were all super friendly and really helpful with planning day trips, transposition and PCR test on the neighbor island Yao Noi. Especially May went above and beyond for taking care of us on her day of and showing us around the island. Breakfast was a la carte because of the low occupancy, could have been maybe a bit more variety since it didn’t really change during the week. But all quite understandable having only a few rooms occupied. Some restaurants on the main road were open too. There you can also rent a scooter for 250 THB per day. We hope to come back one day.
