Find hotels near Sairee Beach in Ko Tao, Thailand

We loved our stay at Sairee Cottage and ended up extending our stay twice! We stayed in 3 different rooms, one being the beach bungalow for 2 nights and then the simple garden view rooms at the back for 7 nights. They were all great and super comfortable. The facilities are really what makes this place shine..The pool with swim up bar had a fantastic vibe and was really nice to chill in! The restaurant is the best on that strip in Sairee beach- had great food and the best view. The staff were exceptionally helpful and the location is fantastic. If you want to be near the action in Koh Tao, but still want a chilled, relaxed and unpretentious resort experience, then this is the place!

We had an amazing time here! We stayed 4 nights in the panorama view room (102) it deserves 5 stars! The view was incredible almost like a dream we didnt want to leave the room or hotel. The sunsets on the roof were beautifull this panorama room is build like an appartment in which only a kitchen is missing! Its a 360 degrees glass bedroom with two balconees you can relax on. On top of the room/ appartment there's a roof terrace where you can have an romantic diner relaxing with some wine and enjoy the best sunset ever! Because its in the neighberhood of the populair sairee beach at night i could be a bit noisy but your room will make you forget this inconvenience totally. Last but not least the staff is very very kind and helpfull. Food and beverages are well priced and they even got minimarkets nearby. Scooters / motorbikes can be rent near to the hotel with discount if you stay at Simple life cliff resort. The hotel offers also a shuttle between the pier and hotel. Wecomeback!

This place is the best location of Sairee beach, and many of the locals I met diving said it was one of the best hotels on the island. Pickup and check in were a breeze and exactly as we would have liked. It was the first time that we have been served warm popcorn as we arrived at a hotel, it went down a treat. We booked for 4 days and found the place so nice that we extended by another 4 days. The first room that we had was not available for the second 4 days so they moved us to another room that was smaller but had a fantastic view of the beach. As then hotel is situated on a hill there are a number of steps to reach your rooms, but the view is defiantly worth the exercise. Breakfast was OK but nothing great, and we only ate one main meal at the restaurant as we tried out all the places along the beach. The beach in front of the hotel is cleaned each morning and the snorkelling straight in front of the hotel was very good. We managed to see many tropical fish during an easy half hour swim. We walked to many different pubs and restaurants from the beach and with such a choice to choose from we never repeated one restaurant. We found that the staff were friendly and pleasant whenever we needed them. The pool is nice, although with the lovely beach this was not used very much by us or the other guests. We took a longboat to the Japanese Gardens and the snorkelling there was fantastic and really worth the effort. Sairee beach can get very noisy, but we found the hotel to be far enough away that it did not bother us. The complimentary spa treatment was good and the spa is really nice although a bit more expensive that on the beach. Generally we had a lovely time there and would not hesitate in going back again.

I traveled to Koh Tao with my brother. We are both Americans between 25-35.. We decided we wanted to be on the north end of the beach to be away from the noise at night but also be at a hotel with a pool. Sairee Hut fit the description and for all nights but one, we couldn't hear a peep of music. Unfortunately, starting at a pretty early time, there was construction going on. They are building a new hut or something. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Anytime we needed a boat taxi, regular taxi, directions, whatever you can think of, they made it happen. You have to remember that Koh Tao is a very laid back community so the service of most places reflect that attitude. We very much enjoyed that atmosphere and all of the great restaurants and bars that Sairee Beach had to offer. We stayed in Room 1 which is the Deluxe Garden View A. While the room is reaaally big, which is nice, it's designed pretty poorly. Minor things that aren't worth mentioning and didn't detract from the trip, but just don't expect to be overwhelmed by the room and possibly be frustrated trying to turn on and off the sink faucet. If the construction is finished, I would definitely recommend Sairee Hut to anyone who wants a good location on the north beach away from the noise, a good staff, a pool and a close walk to all of the main Sairee restaurants and bars.

We had a very large room on the second floor, with a large private balcony looking down on the lush gardens and walkways. The room was kept very clean, even the floors were perfectly cleaned each day (cleaner than all other 18 hotels we stayed in this trip). The pool area was very nice, infinity edge, shallow separate section for small kids plus a separate jacuzzi. The location is exactly where you want to be in Sairee Beach, on the walking street, near everything, yet just far enough away from the busiest section so that it is quiet at night. The restaurant where they serve breakfast is directly on the beach, when tide is in the water is about 3 metres from the outdoor patio. The views are beautiful! The buffet is fantastic, one of the best breakfasts we saw over our 3 months in Asia, with both western and Asian options everyday. The front desk folks were all super nice, very helpful, and very organized! We booked two snorkel trips and our return ferry through them, we also booke

This hotel was amazing. We stayed in the mountain view hotel which had a view over the whole beach. It was about a 5 minute walk up the hill from the bottom of the hotel (at the beach) if you are fast at up-hill walking/stairs. The view and the tranquility was definitely worth it! And the value for money was just amazing. The hotel has 2 fantastic pools, both of which are usually used for scuba lessons during the day but allow for swimmers as well. The hotel has two great restaurants and two receptions and is totally accommodating for all. The room was massive, with a living room, bathroom and bedroom, 2 television sets, a DVD Player, 2 air-cons, dresser and lounge and balcony. Right on Sairee Beach and close enough to walk to Mae Haad (15minutes) and also the Sairee centre (5-10minutes). 24 Hour Ban's Convenience store and internet area area, plus free wifi anywhere in the hotel/its restaurants were a plus also. Tours and taxis/ferries can be booked easily and cheaply through the hotel, and of course scuba diving. Would definitely recommend and am going back asap!

We toured many parts of Thailand for 5 weeks this fall and Koh Tao was our favourite island. We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay at the Koh Tao Coral Grand Resort. The staff at the hotel were very helpful and the accommodations were clean and in a super location off the far end of Sairee Beach. Our hotel was quite at night but if you wanted to party then you only needed to walk down the beach to any of the bars located off Sairee Beach. We were also walking distance to any shops and restaurants which was very convenient. Our breakfast was also great with many selections to chose from. We upgraded our cabana to beachfront for the last two nights and this was worth it simply for the view of the beautiful bay. One of the best things about the location was the ability to just put your snorkelling gear on and swim out about 100 meters into the water where you can see plenty of coral, giant clams, octopus and fish. We would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Koh Tao.

Living Chilled was a great value for our time in Sairee Beach. It's close enough to our dive shop and the beach, but far enough from the party and noise. The staff was really nice and accommodating. It was nice to have a little balcony to dry clothes and relax. Although there wasn't much of a view. Just note that the staff doesn't replace the sheets when they clean the room. We also had to ask for extra toiletries as they were not replaced either. The TV didn't work but we had no use for it.

We stayed eight nights at In Touch in May 2015, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Located at the quieter south end of Sairee beach the resort is quiet, with a very relaxed atmosphere. We stayed in a 'Standard Concrete Studio', 1 minute walk from the restaurant and beach, set in a lovely garden. The room was large and well appointed, having a much appreciated fridge for chilled drinks at any time of day. The bedroom, bathroom and balcony were very clean. Crucially, the air conditioning is very effective. The restaurant is a gem. Almost on the beach, in the day its in beautiful dappled shade, and in the evening it is the best place to watch the sun set. The food and the service are excellent. The menu is extensive, and the Thai food and the fresh seafood are particularly delicious. The section of beach on which In Touch is situated is quiet, clean and has easily accessible snorkelling and there is free WIFI available both in the restaurant and in the rooms. Overall, if you are looking for a relaxed and quiet stay within easy (walking) reach of the dive shops in Sairee and Mae Haad, I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Super close to Sairee beach (3 min walk) and also 5 min walk from main road where all the restaurants, bars and shops are. The hotel is very clean! They will clean your room everyday if you ask and they will swap towels and leave fresh water/coffee and tea bags. Fan and aircon functioning perfectly! And laundry service although it took a bit of time it was amazing ! They let us check in super early (7am) since they had a room already available, which was perfect since we were traveling all night long and were in desperate need of a shower and some rest. They kept our bags and let us shower on the day we left after the check out was already done ! Would definitely book again !

Room are clean, and even tho you can be close to one of the room where a pub will play music , it’s not a big problem , it’s acwukly quiete , and sleeping hours they don’t make much noise, the accomodation is very nice , I had the best sleep here after sleeping in hostels for a month.. the staff is really kind and nice , they smile everytime , especially the guy at the reception , is a great person that will guide you if you need any help, I would definitely recommend this place in koh toa, cheap and perfect location.

I booked this hotel for one night and ended up staying for 8. For the price, I can't fault this hotel at all. The location is great: a two minute walk to Sairee beach and all of the restaurants and bars and shops in the town. The rooms are very minimal and look like New York lofts with exposed brick walls and concrete floors and a huge balcony. The showers are always hot and the cool air-conditioning is a welcome break from the heat of Koh Tao. The free breakfast is fantastic, with choices like pancakes, French toast and scrambled egg with a free tea, coffee or juice. The rooms are cleaned regularly and the Thai lady that runs the place is really friendly and willing to help. I've been travelling around SE Asia for over a month now and this is my favourite hotel so far.

The hotel was in prime location, right on Sairee Beach and in the middle of a strip of shops, bars and restaurants. The room was clean and spacious and was comfortable. The hotel was right on the beach which was absolutely gorgeous . We did not use the pool as the beach was so lovely. The AC restaurant served tasty food for a cheap price also! The staff were extremely friendly also.

This is our 3rd time to Ko Tao, first time staying at Sairee Sairee. I highly recommend! Great location in Sairee town (don't be too obsessed about staying in Sairee beach... it's only a 5 min walk away but accom. on the beach-front is terrible). The town is the heart of the place, always people floating about! Room: Clean / good air-con / good wi-fi... what more can I say? We asked for a room upstairs with a balcony but were put on the ground floor... we were so tired when we arrived we didn't care as we weren't spending much time there. However, I recommend asking for a room upstairs with the balcony as although there is a porch area on the ground floor, lots of mosquitoes. Run by a French couple (I think), they were quick to respond to e-mails which is always nice, although I never saw them during our 4 night stay. The restaurant is excellent and is full every night, I highly recommend you give it a try. I highly recommend this place and would happily return if we ever go back to Ko Tao.

We had the best time at GD Hostel, met some great people and loved Koh Tao. The hostel is located at the far end of Sairee Beach (although that being said its no more than a 2 minute stroll to the beach and the string of bars / restaurants). As travellers we didn't want to spend every night partying on our trip, having said that we met such a good group of people that we spent most nights either having a quiet drink on the beach or partying till the small hours! There is laundry facilities just at the end of the road and the Samatha B&B next door does great breakfasts! The service we received was friendly and efficient, we couldn't have asked for more. The hostel is secure and each room has 2 adjacent toilets and showers for that room only. Rooms and facilities were cleaned daily.

Beautiful big clean bungalows in Sairee beach with AC, fridge, kettle tea coffee, tv and a nice terrace. Manager is a top man and you can buy all sorts or drinks do laundry and rent a bike. We booked two nights and ended up staying a total of five because it was so nice and relaxed. We rented a scooter to see the island but specially for the drive in and out of the bungalows as its a four hundred meter dirt track but don't be put off by it because the place is well worth it.

Sairee Village and Sairee Beach are a great place to drop your pack if you're visiting Koh Tao, and Lotus is one of the best-positioned resorts in the area. It's got a great beach bar, dive center, cafe, travel center... The list goes on and on. The staff are very attentive and very good at integrating your stay with your travels and any diving you might be doing. It gets a bit loud at night but so do most places in Sairee Village. Excellent room for the price, no complaints.

Very nice location (basically in front of Sairee Beach, the main beach with all shops and restaurants) and amazing common areas: restaurant & bar, balcony with comfortable sofas and amazing rooftop pool with very comfortable beds and bean bags, super friendly bartender, pool table and a stunning view on the seaside (and the sunset)! We stayed in a private room with a very comfortable double bed, even thought the room and the toilet were a bit small for 2 people, with not a lot of space for clothes or bags. Also necessary to keep the room window open, otherwise the room gets a bit humid because of the shower. But the room was very silent, we had such great sleep, and the cleaning service was perfect everyday! Overall, we had a great experience at the Savage, met a lot of friendly people, had a great experience with the Savage staff and enjoyed our stay in Koh Tao! We highly recommend Savage for young and international people and couples!

This hotel is extremely new and it shows. Very clean and the staff is beyond helpful. They provide snorkel and diving tours at a good price, transport, laundry service and anything else you need. Location was ideal for us being two 23 year olds. Right in the middle of Sairee Beach only a 5 minute walk away from the bar strip, convenience stores and restaurants. It got a little loud at night if you’re trying to sleep, but just wear ear plugs!

We really enjoyed our stay at wind beach. the staff was extremely helpful and took their jobs seriously. There were happy to answer any questions we had and helped us organize our trips without trying to "sell" us anything. we ended up with a fantastic room with a big balcony and a large bathroom. The room was clean and very comfortable. Would definitely recommend it to anyone staying in Sairee beach. Hope to be back someday!

Sun Smile is hands down, no questions asked, a 10 out of 10. We stayed three nights and from the moment of our arrival received a phenomenal service. Cha and his staff are lovely, wonderful people. Pleasant, smiling and friendly - always willing to lend a hand to help out. You will receive no better value anywhere in Thailand. We were welcomed into the office upon arriving, offered a refreshment and shown the local area on a map with dining options, diving advice, tour options (options, I say, nothing ever felt sold or pressured to us), and activities. We were provided a map printout and local guide book and given a background of the island. We introduced ourselves once and were called by name the duration of our stay. The rooms were clean and relatively updated, tidied daily, with trash emptied, bed made, etc. Tea, coffee, and water was provided free of charge, the room was sizeable, with a balcony, bright and inviting. The location is near the main intersection at Sairee Beach with taxi boat service right across the street - one of the guys even walked us down to make the introductions! Beach towels were provided so we wouldn't need to use our room towels, book selection is available for reading, and the staff were extremely helpful with our transportation questions and the best options for onward travel. Cha even went over with me what to expect for my flight out of Bangkok which was over a week away, giving me approximate expected costs and travel times among other tips. I would 100% recommend Sun Smile to any traveller. Hands down one of the best experiences in over 15 years of travelling the globe. Amazing people, good clean place, nice locale, unbelievable value for the cash.

Having travelled around Thailand for over 1 month already, this hotel was our best yet and brilliant value for money. We stayed in a sea view bungalow which was spotless, probably the nicest place we have stayed so far. Great location, our room was near enough on the beach, safe walk to local bars but far enough away for it to be quiet. Breakfast was included which was great, we were given a menu each morning with a full list of items to pick from. Free pick up from the ferry pier, free beach towels in room, tv, good air con, only downside was not great WiFi. Highly recommend to anybody!!

Myself and my g/f (26yrs old) stayed for 3 nights at Alila Villas. It was a brilliant experience for the following reasons: - the Owner Belinda and her fantastic number 2 Kung were so friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They recommended brilliant activities such as the snorkeling trip with their friend Roland (cheap with few others, a great day out). Anything we needed they helped with, including providing a phone to contact them at any time with questions/issues. They were truly a delight and made our stay so special. - the Villa is a 5 minute walk to Sairee Beach. So in 5 minutes you can go from experiencing the beach bar nightlife to true relaxation in a garden villa with private plunge pool and ample outdoor space to boot. I would be baffled why you'd want to stay anywhere else on Koh Tao...we also stayed for 1 night at Pinnacle Resort...Pinnacle didn't compare (not even close) and was similarly priced. - The inside was spacious, take aways deliver if you don't want to go out, whilst there is a huge selection of films for a relaxing night in. This was important for us as a couple, as we were much more interested in the beautiful daytime/sunset Koh Tao, as opposed to the Sairee Beach nightlife. Don't miss out on this place, it made our stay in Koh Tao so so special.

Location is great at the more quiet end of Sairee Beach, bungalows are simple, but ok, cleaned every day and received fresh towels, a little overpriced, especially because breakfast was not included although if you check on their website it says that it always is, staff was quite ignorant but the lady running the place did warm up to us at the end, she organized an amazing boat trip for a great price for us, let us take a shower in her back room so we could save the late check out fee and even got us a free taxi to the fairy pier. Wifi connection was poor, but seemed to be like it on the whole island. Another a bit annoying fact is that there are a lot of dogs, which are friendly and they love going for a swim with you, but they would start barking like hell broke loose several times in the night. Other than that we had a great time on Koh Tao.

the room was very spacious and perfect for a couple. the room was clean and had a fridge, air con and fan units. the bathroom was nice with a combined tub and shower unit, it's a rarity in asia to have a tub! the bathroom did have a few ants however they mostly came out at night time so didn't bother us! there is no breakfast included with this room and the hotel does not have a restaurant however there are so many nearby this was not a problem for us. also as the room had a fridge we went to the local 7-11 and got food for breakfast there! the staff were very friendly and said hello to us every morning and gave us advice of where to eat and activities we could do. the room was just a stones throw away from the beach and everything you could possibly want is within a 5 minute walk. considering how many bars there are close by the noise in the evening is not too bad. you can hear the music from local bars and occasionally get the drunks walking home being noisy but it's nothing that keeps you awake at night. overall we really enjoyed our stay there and would definitely choose to stay again.
