Awesome place to chill”

Cute little resort right in the bay. Room was spacious with an awesome patio (or balcony if upstairs) tk relax on. The resort has a coffee shop and motor bike and snorkel mask for rent also. They can arrange tours and taxis but taxis are expensive in Ko Tao so best to rent a bike. I can highly recommend and will be back.

Double check room amenities ”

Booking indicated A/C but was told by staff it was only a fan room. Very limited outlets to charge electronics (only had 1 plug, not counting the TV plug on ceiling). Room didn't have refrigerator. Breakfast was good, have a set menu of about 15 different items you can choose, along with instant coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Need to specifically request room cleaning, otherwise you won't get water or extra TP.

Better options elsewhere”

We stayed here for a week. I wouldn't call the reception staff rude but I also wouldn't call them friendly or accommodating. You can only have your room cleaned once every three days. The worst part was the bed, we've been in Thailand a month and have slept on some hard beds, but this was the worst. I was sore all over by the end of the week. It does have a nice location and restaurant is decent

Good location but not friendly staff”

We should listen to the reviews because the staff is not friendly at all. The resort is on the beach, few steps away to Freedom Beach, Shark Bay (good place for snorkeling) and John Suwan Viewpoint. In the morning can walk to have a chicken sandwich from “Lady Sandwich” shop. It’s a big and very tasty sandwich for 60-80 baht. For the hotel if you pay more than 600 THB a night, please go to stay somewhere else because… 1. The staff is not nice. The manager lost our driving license card that we gave her for the deposit but she said that we didn’t give it to her and tried to find another excuse that it was not her fault . She even tried to call the motorbike shop where I rent the bike from to check that my driving license was there or not but she forgot that I rent the bike before coming to the hotel and she copied my driving license on the check in day and never gave me back the original one. 2. Need to bring your own toiletries. 3. Wifi is not good. Need to keep login every 5-10 mins. 4. TV has no English channels and Thai Channels had poor reception. If you have limited budget, you can stay in a fan room but try not to have any issues with the staff and have all the record what you give to them otherwise you might not have a good holiday in Koh Tao.

The location is beautiful. It’s a lot quieter and more chilled than Sairee area. Great for swimming or just relaxing and loads or restaurants/bars along the beach. The check-in staff were not particularly friendly and I think a ฿1000 deposit for the key is too much.
