Find Hotels in Chalok Baan Kao, Thailand

After a week in Thailand we finally docked in Koh Tao and arrived at the incredible View Point Resort. The resort is situated in the incredibly beautiful Chalok Baan Kao bay, and you reach it by going over a very steep hill with a taxi. Ask around at the pier and they will help you out (about 100B per person). We arrived and was welcomed by very friendly reception staff who explained everything we needed to know regarding breakfast times (included for all guests) and free taxi's to the towns. We were escorted to our rooms which were lovely garden view cottages at the top of the resort. When you open the door onto the balcony you are surrounded by lush, green jungle/garden. The bathroom is quite interesting as you have to access it by leaving the room through a door which leads you outside before you enter the bathroom, we really liked it :) The restaurant / pool and bar is right at the bottom of the resort and you have to walk down the stairs through the gardens to get there. A lovely, beautiful walk which we also really enjoyed. In the evening you can spot little frogs, gekko's and land crabs on your way back to the cottage. The pool area is beyond beautiful, looking out over the stunning bay. The water was so clear that we could see the fish in the ocean from the pool. They also serve really yummy cocktails and food at the pool during the day. We spent a lot of time here and really enjoyed the staff here as they were always super friendly and accommodating. We also really enjoyed the daily included breakfast - it included fresh juice, coffee, croissants, bread, fruit, eggs (any way you want), bacon, potatoes, a thai dish, roasted tomatoes and exotic mushrooms. There was also an option to get pancakes! We had dinner at the hotel restaurant one evening and it was really tasty and of high quality. the other evenings we walked over to the little town of Chalok Baan. It took about 10min to walk to the town. You cross a bit of beach and then walk over a cement

SERVICES: Chia, the receptionist was always helpful and nice with my family and me, helping with our luggage, informing us about everything, a very nice guy. We didn't have breakfast at the hotel. ROOM& FACILITIES: The room was big and clean with a little terrace. Beds were confortable, good Aircon, hot water, (the only thing to improve was the toilet flush, a little weak, we needed to flush many times to keep it clean). They clean the room if you let the key in a bucket at the reception in the morning. The swimming pool is nice, with the jungle behind, and even when the wood needs a layer of varnish, laying in there is a very relaxing experience. SURROUNDINGS: the hotel is 1.3k from the pier Mae Haad, and we rented bikes. Toscana resort is 2 minutes scooter from Mae Haad and Chalok Baan, but you can go walking everywhere if you don't want to use the bike. Toscana Resort is for sure the best quality hotel we had found in our trip. ขอบคุณ Chai!!

We stayed there for only one night. The hotel is at a very nice spot. The view was superb. The employee at the hotel were really sweet and helpful. Our room is very nice and over looking Chalok baan Kao beach which is quite beautiful. There isn't much to criticise about but we wished the hotel was a little cheaper. As a whole it is a relaxing hotel and suitable for almost the all kind of tourists except for the travellers who wish to have vibrant nightlife- you may wish to stay in another beach such as Sairee beach. But beach-wise Chalok-Baan Kao is more beautiful

The sunset villas give you a more than 180 degree uninterrupted view over the water and bring a refreshing sea breeze right to your bed. You'll need a bike to explore the rest of the island, although plenty of restaurants and shops are within walking or kayaking distance at Chalok Baan Kao Bay (free kayak rental is included with your stay). Staff were very helpful. Try the big fluffy banana pancakes for breakfast.

I stayed here for four nights. Very good value for money. Rooms are spacious and clean. Aukotan is walking distance (5-10 min) to the shops and dive centres in Chalok Baan Kao. There is also a small supermarket/general store downstairs with is very handy to purchase snacks and small necessities. There are also a handful of restaurants/cafes and massages shops in the immediate vicinity of the hotel. The hotel is however on a quieter part of the island. Reception staff are very helpful and have a good command of English. They were able to provide early checkin and late checkout for me which was fantastic. They also offer daily free breakfast which is basic but welcome. There are some roosters around the hotel however which can start crowing as early as 4:30am which can disturb your sleep. The room I stayed in also didn't have hot water in the bathroom sink or a kitchen sink which would have been useful.

Very nice resort at Baan Chalok. We stayed at the Paradise Zone which was very quiet and had a great atmosphere to relax after a long journey. All necessary facilities within reach. We also stayed in a very spacious room with a lovely balcony with great views over Shark Bay and, with clear sky, the island of Koh Phagnan. Overall the food is good and hotel staff very helpful. Very reasonable priced for a luxury resort like this!

I was staying in Villa 1 while a friend was staying at one of the apartments. the apartment was noticeably bigger with a dining table inside the house. the villas didn't have it. the place is very clean and well maintained, the stuff is working around the clock to maintain a good looking place both the rooms and the property, the pool is one of the best I've seen for this price range! the kitchen is a very nice bonus to have, I went to the supermarket right at the exit of the hotel road, on main road and brought some groceries, a nice way to save money if you're on a budget. The receptionist was great, made you feel like he really cared and was always there to help and explain when needed.

The rooms are really nice, lots of space, especially in the 6 bed dorms. A balcony to dry your clothes, and a big closet beside your bed to put things inside and at the top. They have plenty of space to hang out, and even a swimming pool!! The WiFi is good, just bad you need to log on to one device at the time, so not ideal for those who want to work. It's close to chalok beach and walking distance to John Suwan viewpoint, but u would recommend to rent a scooter during the stay as its more convenient. Lots of bars, restaurants and cafe's nearby. If you look for party, don't stay here, go to sairee. If you're okay with party once or twice during your stay, stay here!!

I don't leave reviews, but Baan Chalok was so amazing that I owe it to them. The regular: clean, comfortable, friendly, good wifi (I stayed in the 4-bed dormitory with bathroom attached). The additional: quality mattresses, pillows and towels! Breakfast included (toast, jam & bananas), free coffee/thee/cookies all day. Lovely lobby/terras that almost makes you want to stay there instead of explore the island. Guests can be quite messy, but as they continously clean up after them, it looks spick&span at all times. The exceptional: as gluten-intolerant I don't eat toast. I didn't mention it, but the host picked up on this and started serving me a fresh plate of fruit everday! They sometimes make 'goodbye' lunch/diners at the hostel. Any requests guests may have are answered much beyond the expected. Too many to name, but there are all these other little things that makes staying here feel special. Only open 1-2 months, but I've never experienced anything like this anywhere! I wish them the best and hope they can continue running this hostel with the same passion and enthousiasm as they did when I stayed there.

I was staying with a friend in a queen size plus single bed room for roughly 1000 Bhat a night. Room had a fan but no AC, TV, warm water for the shower (electric heater) and a balcony facing the pool. Unfortunately ventilation in the room seemed to be problematic because it was always a little musty when we came into the room. But when you opened the window and set on the fan it was quickly gone. Place is directly at the beach, has a nice bar and restaurant with reasonable prices. Sometimes I woke up then I wanted because you can hear the people from the diving school handling the equipment and talking if you have the windows open for the night. I really like the place and would go there again.

We were 2 solo travellers who wanted to stay near nice beaches for cheap so decided to rent a twin room. They put us right at the far end of the resort so our view was chopped down trees and debris which wasn't as lovely as other rooms which over looked gardens & a pool. Anywho, it was pretty cheap at 600 baht so we didn't complain. The pool was nice and seemed quite clean. You really don't need it though, there are some lovely beaches within walking distance. We had ants in our room and even on beds...but I asked for some ant killer and she gave me the can to go spray the room myself! To be honest, this is a beachy, semi rural area.....you're gonna find insects everywhere! The shower was rubbish (non-adjustable head so it just sprayed the opposite wall. Cold shower for the cheapest fan rooms, which o was ok with. They actually have 2 outdoor showers next to the pool so I used them instead, way better! This is a great area of koh tao but there are many cheaper and better places to stay

The staff were kind and friendly which stands out against the more jaded Thais on the islands. They were very accommodating and concerned for my welfare. After my first night at a party hostel the bungalow was a dream come true because it was so clean, quiet, and well maintained. On the downside it looks to Chalok Bay but in fact the closest beach is a hot and hilly 20 minute walk to another beach. The resort is peaceful because it's remote but wheels are required to get around if you stay there. Sometimes I caught a ride with the resort truck but the rest of the time I used a moped I rented from a trustworthy and solid guy from RPM rentals. The resort dropped me off there. I would love to see the staff again. They were so nice. Be careful of the roads on Koh Tao and don't drive too fast!! Lots of tourists with bandages!!

- Picking up and sending to pier service - Next to the beach - Not far from viewpoint, I went there by walking - Nice restaurant around ( suggested Chalok Harbour: nice and reasonable price with beach view) - Bathroom was fine - Small locket, you can only keep small stuff - There is pool with beach view, but it is another side of road from the room - Free water - Blanket is thin, but AC is not very strong cool - Far from Sairee beach which is the center of nightlife and restaurant. If you don't rent a bike you have to find taxi. Too far for walk

Hay que caminar un poco por una callecita lateral para entrar. Para descansar está bien. Es limpio y el aire funcionaba. Cumplieron con lo del traslado del muelle al hotel al llegar pero tuvimos que llamarlos 2 veces por teléfono porque no nos estaban esperando con cartel en donde les avisamos. después de eso todo OK. Por ese precio tal vez se encuentra algo mejor ubicado, más lindo o con desayuno incluido

I will preference this review by saying read all the way to the end it may not end the way you think it will. When I arrived on Koh Tao I had to drop my girlfriend off at Buda View Diving then head up with the truck taxi to check in. I remember I kept telling the cab driver that my girlfriend was going to kill me as we went up the steep crazy road to the top where Bohemian Resort was. Knowing full well that I would have to drive this road up in a scooter for our entire stay here. While she didn't kill me she came close as we finally neared the top of the crazy road that was paved at times but then just a dirt road at times. I told her we could check out in the morning and find something that was lower down but then she saw the view in the morning plus the ride back down was not nearly as bad as the ride up and she started to soften up. By the end of our stay we had booked an additional day and had tried to book 2 more but they were full up. I will say this if you are comfortable riding a scooter (if 2 people you should consider a scooter above 125cc) have an adventures soul and long for a quiet peaceful place that has amazing views where you can get away from it all this place is for you. If you are timid, scared of heights and sorry but over weight this may not be the place for you. I say the last part because one of you more than likely will have to get off your scooter and walk part of the way up during 2 small steep sections of the road but it is oh so worth it for those who make the trip up to the Bohemian resort. Next time I'm in Koh Tao this is definitely where my girlfriend and I will stay. Tim

This place is a small and really cozy hostel and diving school in a good location. Tua, the owner of this place, is really friendly and helpful like all the members of the team. The room is quite basic, but really clean and air-conditioned. Also the restaurant there is amazing, super tasty and a great value. I've also done my open water course there and it was the best decision to do it at Czone. I had a private instructor and a divemaster trainee during the whole course, while other diving schools have groups of 4 students per instructor. Golf my instructor was super friendly, helpful, patient and has taken a lot of time to answer all my questions. Overall, I had a wonderful time here and I will definitely come back.
