"We Went to Koh Tao in a group of 4 for 4 nights and stayed at the pool side room. The location is excellent as it is close to restaurant and bars. Also scuba dive with Seashell Divers in just a group of 3 divers which is perfect for us as we dislike big groups, Mike and Johan took care of us and saw whaleshark on our last dive! We will be back if we ever go back to Koh Tao again"

"The place is actually very nice situated, but a bit far away from nightlife, in case you have a bike nothing is a problem, even the walk is not that bad. Place is clean and has beautiful terrace where you can chill. Near by hostel is the best restarant in Koh Tao called Tukta - best massaman curry I had in Thailand. No problem with personal stuff as well. I can recommend. "

"Lodging - Great bungalows and resort feel. I had stayed at another resort in Koh Tao for three days prior to Sairee, and Sairee stood out in every way. 5 minute walk to every major beach bar you'd want to hit, and there's also a Sairee Restaurant right on the beach. Diving - did my Advanced Open Water certification with James. I was a little nervous about the night and deep dives, but the professionalism and knowledge of the staff quickly put me at ease. Did a few dives with Roktopus, one of top rated dive shops, as well, and Sairee was just as good if not better. Service - had one the greatest customer service experiences of my life here. I lost my shoes on the way from the hotel to the pier. I called and asked if they had seen them, and they went out of their way to find them, and then ship them to me via ferry that same day. Really incredible way to end an incredible experience in Koh Tao through Sairee Cottage."

"We booked in here on the morning of our stay via agoda as i had to leave the previous hotel; it was so bad. Pool is great with a bar, breakfast a little mediocre but included in the price so I wasn't particularly fussed. Room itself was fine. Beach party til 2am but you could barely hear it in our room. Thanks lotus for saving our stay in koh tao! "

"Perfect place for backpackers for a reasonable price on Koh Tao. Driving around the island we understood that this is the best place to stay because of the calm, clean Taa Toh beach with a great sunset view; You get free entrance in John Suwaan and 360 viewpoint; kayaks for free with a great snorkelling spots around the bay; the vibe is so chill and people are mostly thinking about relaxing there; Bar/restaurant is a little bit pricy but we got the best ham&cheese spring rolls and best smoothies on the island! You should rent a motorbike to travel around because it’s a bit too far from Sairee beach but still if you want to look around the island, it’s worth to rent it. If you don’t have masks for snorkelling, you can rent them for 50 bath/person at the resort. Would definetly not go anywhere else but only here at Freedom Beach resort for a stay on Koh Tao!"

"My son & daughter in-law bought me a stay at Coral Grand resort on Koh Tao via Agoda last year to give to me on my 65th birthday, which was at the beginning of this year. When they gave me my present I started looking into the reviews for the place since I had never been to Koh Tao and I was of cause very curious of where I was going to stay. I must admit that I started getting a little nervous after reading some of the reviews for this place, but agreed to myself that I would not let a few bad reviews ruining my holiday. I arrived to Koh Tao via LOMPRAYAH (local catamaran) from Koh Samui and was met by 3 young gentlemen holding a sign with my name and a few others. We were immediately directed to the taxi’s that would take us to the resort. I was taken up a few steps to the reception/lobby area where they were waiting for us with a small glass of lemonade and helped us check in. The Sailor cottage that I got had a very nice vintage look to it. Cozy, cleaned every day, comfortable bed, nice toilet shower facilities connected with a few steps which I thought was a nice tropic touch to the whole feel. Over all, I liked my room very much. The beach was absolutely stunning and clean. 2 guys were working very hard every day to maintain this area of beach, which was definitely not the case in front of the next door resorts. A nice in house restaurant with lovely Thai food and western dishes. In house dive center with staff that was ready to help and accommodate with everything. I wasn’t diving, but I did get help and advice to where I should go snorkeling and what to see, and where to go in the evening on Koh Tao. I have been travelling a lot in my time and I thought this was worth all the money. Great location, Great staff, great food on a great little island. What more can you ask for. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone regardless of age, single or couple. "
