Monkey Flower Villas

We travelled around Thailand for 3 weeks and decided that Koh Tao was our favourite spot. Its excellent for scuba diving, the views are amazing and there weren't too many families. Monkey Flower Villas are situated on the hills and incorporate natural rocks into the villa interior. They are very spacious and spotless and only a short walk from the hustle and bustle around Sairee beach. Walking is optional because Mo and Steve provide a complimentary 'taxi' service. This is incredible because the taxis are relatively expensive in the island. These guys are part of what make the villas great. They are genuinely nice people. I would recommend the villas to anyone who likes to keep busy during the day but wants their own quiet sanctuary too. The lower villas don't have private pools but this didn't matter to us. There are loads of great beaches nearby with perfect conditions for swimming and snorkeling.

Friendly stuft Nice Villa

This is the most amazing place I've ever stayed in in my entire life. And while it's not cheap, it's worth EVERY single penny. We stayed here for 4 nights, 2 in the upper villa and 2 in the lower villa. We booked the second two nights in the lower villa to save a couple hundred dollars, but in the end we wished we had splurged and stayed all four in the upper villa. The lower villa is awesome too, but it does not have a pool - but there are so many awesome beaches to visit no pool is necessary!!! The best thing about this place = the personal drivers: Steve and Mo. You will actually end up saving money here because of them. Cabs are pricey on Koh Tao and Steve and Mo know the island so well that they have the best recommendations for food, beaches, snorkeling, diving etc. Being able to call them on the cell phone that was provided to us was priceless - saved so much time doing research. Steve is the man, and made Koh Tao the best part of our trip. STAY HERE!

We booked the Lower one bed room suite. It was an amazing stay with geat hosts. Transport that was included with board was a big plus. Steve and Mohammad were always available and they even provide you with a local cell phone to contact them any time of day. The view from our room was simple amazing. There are also butterflies and squirrels all around and it felt like we were living in a forest. The only negative thing I can think of.....and this was not really much of an issue at all.....is that the airconditionar was in the bedroom and it was a bit difficult cooling the whole room. I can highly recommend this place!

Amazing stay from start to finish. Great views and great villa plus great attention from the hosts. Would definitely recommend!

So unique, beautiful gardens and villa Comes with 24 hour driving service included. The staff exceeded our expectations. Would recommend Monkey Flower for a group trip, rent all 3 villas!!

I hope I can stay more days in Monkey flower villa. Everything was perfect beginning from Steven pick up us. We stay at upper villa. The villa near the sairee beach but is very quiet on the mountain and have the wonderful sea view. The swimming pool was so nice. If you wanr, you can directly jump to the pool from the roof. There are two big bedroom, a large living room and one kitchen downstairs. If you don't want go outside, a lots of menu you can order food from outside. Make sure download more music in your mobile, because the villa has the good sound effects audio. The villa location maybe could not see the sunrise but sunset is so beautiful. I must give my highest evaluation to Steven. He is the most passionate driver I have never seen. Everyday we call him to send us for dinner, he will arrive immediately and share a lots of story with us just like a friend. I must will share this villa to my every friend.

Beautiful setting, wonderful facilities and amazing staff!

If you can afford it, its the place to stay! The upper villa pool is magnificent, the views are breathtaking. Steve and mo were awesome. The free rides to anywhere on the island are very very helpful. Steve took great care of us. The villa is huge, bedrooms are large and spacious, patio is awesome, breakfast on the terrace is unbelievable, tv has lots of channels, including a channel to watch NBA all day ! Only drawback is that there is no restaurant, we have to order food for delivery or go to the restaurants. If i really have to nitpick then maybe a big mirror is missing in the villa. Cant recommend this place enough. If I visit koh tao again, I know where im staying, no need to look elsewhere!

Not only were the accommodations extremely clean and comfortable - with a nice private pool, but Steve and Mohammed were the best. They not only get you where you need to go, but also provided great recommendations on where to spend the day and evenings. I would definitely stay at Monkey Flower again!

The resort is not a hotel, it is several villas grouped together. The staff is fantastic and will drive you anywhere. Great views. The "lower villa" has no pool.

the upper villa is like a dream came true , it has the best pool in koh tao with amazing view , the location is accepted and the staff (steve and mohammed) make you feel like you are at you home , i would diffently want to go back there

we got in late was upgraded to a huge 2 story villa great !

First off: The staff on hand to greet, chauffeur and advise guests is excellent and very hospitable - and that is invaluable for guests. As to the comfort and condition of the interior of the villas, I can only comment on the unit in which my husband and I stayed during our snorkeling visit to Koh Tao - the Lower Villa. The interior space is absolutely enormous, yet the comfort and functionality could use improvement and some basic safety attention. Specifically: The entire floor is polished, flat (poured foundation with no texturizing) concrete. This includes the shower/toilet/vanity area that is situated a half-flight above the main space and the bank of steps leading to that level. The stairs consist of seven steps each with an 8" vertical rise, and there is no handrail. There is no slip-proof matting of any kind, and I wouldn't consider this unit for children or anyone who has mobility issues or who can't catch himself quickly against a wall or exposed boulder when walking on polished, soapy or otherwise slick concrete. There is an A/C unit in the bedroom - which is quite small compared to the total unit space - and it cools the bedroom just fine. However, the rest of the space is ventilated (in 28+C tropical weather) by opening windows and switching on the one and only, wall-mounted, non-oscillating, wire cage fan hung on the wall adjacent to the bedroom door. There was more than sufficient track lighting throughout this three-level space - but not a single ceiling fan. Go figure. On an aside: The white vinyl sofas could stand slipcovers since those can be cleaned and also cover the dirt and tears in the vinyl. I know it's basically a beach house, but still... Like I said, I can only speak for the unit in which we stayed.

Steve and Nick (staff) were amazing. So accomadating and helpful. The villa itself is impressive. The view is by far the best I have seen from anywhere I've stayed. The pool is amazing and there's a small bridge which you can cross to jump off the roof into the pool (highly recommended!). The villa has it's own music room which gives it that celebrity/rock star feel! It's just a shame we aren't talented enough to play any of the instruments..however we did make use of the speakers :-) the villa is very large and can sleep 6 people. Would recommend if you're looking to have a good time with friends or just as a couple, like us. It really does have the wow factor!!

We are only young but this is the best place we have ever stayed. Everything was perfect.. Only thing was the wifi was a bit tempremental but you really don't need it when you have the most amazing view everywhere you look. The staff and the service was exceptional 24/7.

It was superb stay. The hotel staff are super friendly and attentive to everything we need, make you feel like a king. Free transfer to everywhere within the Koh Tao. No worries on the activity, restaurant, looking for taxi boat, daily schedule. The staff will help you on everything you need. Good design hotel with natural build. Sun set view, sea view, nature, can see from the villa, from the room, from swimming pool, from sun deck chairs...

Excelente! Altamente recomendable. Se disfruta mucho.

Nous souhaitions remercier et féliciter l'équipe de la Monkey flower villa ou nous avons passé 4 jours formidables. Dès notre arrivée à Koh Tao , nous avons été pris en charge par steve (le chauffeur), et tout a été organisé pour nous dès que nous le demandions, petit déjeuner en bord de mer, journée de plongée , journée de snorkeling, on vous amène dans un restaurant ou on passe commande et le repas est livré à la villa....Steve et Nick sont toujours disponibles, et que dire de la villa: la propreté , la vue ,la piscine privative et des écureuils dans les arbres... tous ces éléments ont contribué à faire de ce séjour un moment exceptionnel! merci à vous et à bientôt!

Steve und Mohamed haben unsere Zeit zu einem sehr komfortablen und unvergesslichen Aufenthalt gemacht. Nichts was uns gefehlt hat. Von Fahrservice an die Strände, Insider Empfehlungen über lokale (Restaurants, Massagen, Inseltrips) usw. und sogar Einkäufe, Wäsche und andere Erledigungen haben Sie in kürzester Zeit zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit erledigt. Man bekommt sogar ein Handy mit allen wichtigen Nummern der Insel sowie der Fahrer und hat 24 Std immer jemanden den man erreichen kann. Auf jeden Fall ein - must go.
