Very relaxing and had a lovely time. The food was delicious, offering beach side tables at the onsite restaurant. The staff was very nice and helped create a wonderful experience

The property is absolutely beautiful! We were welcomed with a cold cloth and small drink by friendly staff. We were upgraded to a beachfront pool villa and the views were absolutely stunning! Somehow the property looks very open, but the pool itself feels private. We had an early (530 am) checkout and the staff came and picked us up in a golf cart directly to the checkout desk where we were handed two boxed breakfasts for our travels. The food at the resort was fantastic. Everything tasted very fresh.

Just back from Koh Yao Yai and wow, what a chill spot! This resort is the definition of peaceful – right on a gorgeous beach, and it's so quiet you can hear the waves all day. Everything was super clean and comfy, making it easy to just relax and enjoy the views.
The staff deserves a shoutout too. They were always there to help out, super friendly and knew the area inside out. Made my stay smooth and fun.
If you're looking for a getaway that's all about unwinding and getting away from it all, this is your place. Can't wait to go back

Nice, quiet and relaxing hotel
10.0
We liked:
1.) The personnel: the manager was great and authentic, the reception desk service with Honey and May was great and sincere, the bar and restaurant staff were nice, the spa staff was also great and very friendly
2.) The view: beautiful beach and ocean view from the restaurant and bar, unfortunately not from the bungalow
3.) The food: we ate twice at the restaurant (Thai dishes) and they were all great, especially the lobster. Alternatively there were 3 other restaurants close by, two of which also had great food. We didn't try the third one.
4.) The service and activities: we did the Phi Phi Islands tour with the Longtail boat with Mr. Nut and Mr. Sing, which was wonderful, the visit to the elephant care was also a great experience, the scooter rental was just next door and was very easy going
5.) Arrival and Departure Transfer Service: we were greatly supported traveling from Phuket International Airport to the Elixir Resort and back. Even traveling through the night wasn't a problem.
We are very happy we have chosen the right hotel for us to stay at on the island. It was wonderful. Thank you very much and we are hoping to come back again.
At the beginning there was some confusion about an open balcony door after cleaning; however, this was treated professionally and it didn't happen again.

We spent a very nice experience in elixir Resort.
The private beach is fabulous (and very clean) !
Bungalow, pool, restaurant, all is so nice!
Thanks to all the charmant people we have met.
Just be conscious that the resort is on the opposite of the main pier at the north of the island, 35min/500bt taxi.
Can't swim on low tide.
For boat excursions, prefer buy cheaper on some restaurants at 5min walking.

7 of us stayed at Elixir. We had an fabulous time. The resort was quiet, safe and very relaxing. We enjoyed massages, the restaurant and learning to ride scooters to explore the island. I would recommend Elixir to anyone wanting a relaxing Thai holiday, mostly untouched by tourists unlike other islands. All the staff were very accomodating, especially reception and food and beverage staff who assisted with my partners dietary restrictions.

A beautiful quiet beach front resort with great staff, restaurant and tiki bar!
5.0
Amazing as always. This was our third trip, and each time is better than the last. They have made nice upgrades during COVID, and the staff was incredibly warm and helpful. Such a peaceful and relaxing place. It's always quiet even when at capacity, and makes it feel like a private island. Loved the food, massages, rooms. Beach was cleared every morning and the water was perfect at high tide. Would always recommend.

A wonderful oasis of calm. Very welcoming staff nothing was too much trouble and delicious food both Thai and western were cooked to perfection
The rooms were light and spacious and immaculately clean. And you are right on a private beach with no one trying to sell you anything
I look forward to returning.

We booked a regular villa and as a surprise upon arrival, they just gave us a seafront pool villa. We stayed for four nights and enjoyed every minute of it. It was very calm, also you mostly had the whole beach to yourself. Just up the rod you can rent a scooter for around 250 baht per day and explore the island. There are monkeys living around the resort and the whole island is just way less touristy than for example Koh phi phi. The staff was really friendly, the food was very good and the place is just amazing.

Elixir is quite amazing! I feel so grateful to have stumbled upon such a gem of a place. It was so peaceful and serene! The beach was beautiful and spotless, the restaurant excellent and fairly priced, the staff helpful and kind. The outdoor shower was amazing and the rain showerhead actually had pressure!! The mattress in the room was too firm for my taste so I had trouble sleeping, and I found it uncomfortable to have to climb into the bed as it is on a raised floor. It looks romantic but wasn’t that practical. But that is the only thing I wasn’t a fan of - everything else was perfect! The island is primitive but the people are so beautiful and sweet! The resort is an oasis. If I ever come back I will splurge on a villa with a private pool - they looked amazing and private!

We've travelled a lot, and this is our favourite place. The room (beachfront private pool) is spacious, clean, beautifully decorated, and the pool and ocean view are incredible. Not to mention the lovely outdoor bathroom.
Food and drinks at the resort restaurant are tasty and reasonably priced, the massage service is great, and staff are super friendly and helpful. They booked 2 tours for us during our stay, and they customised the tours per our request so they were exactly what we wanted. This was our second stay here (first time was 2015) and we will definitely be back again!

This was a delightful peaceful retreat from the bustling cities of Thailand. It is a still undiscovered island with not much activities which suited us greatly. The resort was great.. food and drink prices very reasonable and all delicious. Would definitely stay here again!

If you want a quiet and peaceful place this is where you go. Not the best beach in Thailand but it will do.
5.0
A "natural" hotel, among the cottages you can see various animals (lizards, monkeys, birds, ...).
Room facilities are satisfactory.
Excellent service, nice and friendly staff. Very good breakfast, but less choice at lunch and dinner. Worse access to the sea, great influence of low tide and high tide.

The Team is very polite and friendly. Nice beach with trees for naturally shadow. Perfect for relaxing, but nothing for partypeople

While the hotel is in a nice quiet, isolated location with beautiful views my stay here was awful! Do NOT stay here if your hate animals! There were lizards everywhere, on the buildings, in the reception area and in the hotel rooms. The room itself was nice looking but the doors all had cracks and gaps in them which mean smaller lizzards kept coming into the room. The main door to the room was very unsturdy, literally anyone could get in if the wanted to. There was no sense of security in that room. The shower and bath is outside which means mosquitoes and lizzards can get you whilst you’re trying to clean yourself. The animals and birds in the surrounding first are especially loud throughout the night, which means sleeping can be difficult. The staff were nice but eventually became a hinderence when instead of empathising with our experience they would laugh at use when we would express how we felt. I definitely would not recommend this hotel.

Lovely island with amazing beaches. The resort is right on the coast line. The island itself whilst more unspoilt is more remote and therefore forces some RandR!
The breakfasts were somewhat ‘hit and miss’ but overall was okay. The rooms were well maintained and of a good size and as per the photos, with an outside shower.
One thing that we all need to be more careful of is plastic. It is apparent that the islanders and staff are trying to keep the island clean but plastic is a blight washed up by the seas.

This hotel must be the vest on the island. A private beach with plenty of sunbeds and shade from trees. Water is shallow but always deep enough swim. There are very sharp rocks on the seabed which will cut you (i was cut).
And beware the monkeys!

Great resort that pleases travelers that looks for smaller and more locally run places. The rooms are good and food is great. Definitely worth bringing the children here - not a lot to do apart from appreciating the nature, the wildlife, the peaceful surroundings and the local towns just up the road. Absolutely a great place!
