Koh Tao Regal Resort

The only favourable things that I can think of are the air con and the price. Other than that... disaster. Rough concreting and broken tiles in the pool, questionable water quality in the pool, room was only cleaned once in 5 days, bar and restaurant were both deathly silent aside from feeding the staff, hardly any sunloungers, glass on the sand as you step from hotel to beach... it wasn’t a great stay and I won’t ever go back. If you’re looking for accommodation near Crystal Dive there are better options just as close by.

I'm a "comfortable diver" by which I mean I want air conditioning and a nice view of the water, close restaurants, and a comfortable bed, and I'm willing to pay mid-range prices. So this is not the cheap-o hotel, but it's not a 5 star hotel either. For me it's perfect. So stay away so I can get my room when I want it. :-) .

Stayed in Koh Tao many times over the years, this is the first time I’ve run in to a place with bed bugs.

There is a lot of mes around the hotel and it's not well maintained. You see a picture of a Jacuzzi, but that doesn't work and there wasn't even a plug in the bathtube. Location is perfect, but you mis the love (some painting, cleaning etc.) to make it as nice as it was when they build the hotel.

Great for diving, nice pool, good ocean views, nice friendly staff. 7 minute walk to Sairee Beach and the dive shops around there. 8 minute walk to Mae Haad Pier. There is a short but very steep hill at the entrance. They have a shuttle service. Bed was comfortable, Aircon worked OK. Plenty of room, passable wifi.

Hotel was a good value. AC worked great. Pool was nice.

It s a pity that is badly maintained. A few sunbathe matresses and everybody come in the resort to enjoy pool and beach. Nice staff.

nothing else is good, other than its location is near to the town by walking distance

Facilities need a torough clean, too little staff, english not there yet. Good location (can walk to the town) but no breakfast included and the halls and rooms are a bit disregarded with their maintenance.

Standard was low concidering price

Great location 5 min walk from port, lovely pool, nice rooms

Pros -Great and helpful staff and efficient room service, always woke up to fresh towels, toilet paper and water at my door -Rooms were very good and clean, showers were really nice -fridge worked really good -the pool has 3 seperate spots Deep end, medium depth and a shallow depth perfect for kids -balconys were big and they had drying racks -located on the beach with adequate beach loungers -able to walk about 30 to 40 feet out into the water until you hit coral Cons -my ac sucked big time but i switched rooms that had a brand new ac machine so just ask the front desk to switch -no elevator -my room didnt have a safe but im pretty sure you cab upgrade your room that has a safe -if there is some ignorant people staying on your floor you will hear them slam their door as if it was your door - be causious of broken glass on the beach...we all know how shity a deep cut on the bottom of the feet are All in all its a awsome place to stay for the price. I approve!

Great location. Ocean view room is right on the beach front. Large open room. Room has basic facilities like tv, air con, kettle and wifi. But fit out is very basic. Rooms getting quite dated and not nicely presented. Pool is basically not available for use as it's booked out by the dive shop next door. I'd stay again just for the view and location.

Blood on sheets. Tried to switch rooms but front desk was extremely rude

There is no elevator, but the staff will take your luggage up to your room and down. There is a free taxi/shuttle to the pier. I was on a dive trip and this was a 5 minute walk to the dive shop. Restaurants are handy. Everything is walkable. Staff is friendly, understanding and smiles, not every hotel is like that at Koh Tao. No noise problems. Definitely recommend.

In my room was after rain big river! The water in the shower wan only hot or cold, nothing between. In the middle of the hall was a big dog shit!

I will not want to pay for an accommodation with a pool I can't use most of the time bcos of dive trainings everyday.

Young couple - wanted something nicer than a hostel but nothing special as mostly away from hotel. Pretty disappointed. First night we went to restaurant... ordered and waited 1.5hrs to then be told they'd run out of pizza (weren't offered drinks etc on the meanwhile either). Big group (only other customers) got up and left at this point because they'd been waiting for two hours for food... we were then offered theirs (two pizzas as it happens...). We accepted and had to pay full price. I made a complaint to receptionist following day - said she'd tell the manager and get back to me that afternoon. She didn't. Safety: Came back after a day snorkelling - cleaner had left our room door open and balcony unlocked. There is no safety deposit box in rooms. If you want to get room cleaned you must leave key in an open pot at reception (customer side) - reception is often unattended so nothing stopping anyone taking your keys. Anyone wanting value luxury should avoid.

Awesome place to stay for the price we got. First morning we woke up with ants in our bed, but after telling reception we didn't have any bug problems the following days. Ended up staying an extra two nights after our three originally booked. Not a super social hotel but 5 min walk to the main beach. Super close to the pier. Clean pool. Staff did not make you feel the most welcome but were nice enough.

nice hotel close to everything
