Find Hotels in Taa Then Bay, Thailand

My boyfriend and I stayed at Dusit Buncha Resort over New Years. Our stay was not only relaxing but also fun. Before even getting to the resort I emailed them regarding a shuttle from the pier to the resort along with a few other questions. The staff responded promptly and were very helpful with answering all my questions. If you arrange a shuttle they will wait on the pier for you and take you back to the resort. I recommend this since otherwise to get to the hotel you will spend between 300 and 500 baht. The resort is a little out of the way which I find to be a plus. You can easily rent a bike, atv, or take a taxi into Sairee beach where there is great nightlife, restaurants, and spas. The resort also provides a shuttle to Sairee beach at 8:30, 9:30, and 1:30. My boyfriend and I went in everyday either by taxi and shuttle but we loved the out of the way location for a calm relaxing setting. When we arrived at the resort about 5 hours earlier than check-in time. We went to the pool and though it is a smaller pool the area was nice and there was only one other couple there. We relaxed for an hour then went to grab a bite at the restaurant which was right next to the pool. They did also have a pool bar, however, since we were their during the "off season" they didn't have all the bars open, only the one at the restaurant was open. The lobby informed us that they had done up our room early and we were able to check in 3 hours early. That was a plus! Then we took the shuttle into Sairee beach. We booked the Superior Villa Seaview which was lovely and clean. There are three small buildings to this villa. A bigger bedroom, a pavilion to suntan or relax in, and a separated bathroom. It was a great place and we would book this option again! There was also a balcony outside the pavilion so you can move the chairs out and enjoy a drink and the ocean view.

Although up the steep hill from Sairee beach town, Hillside is nearby and retains a peaceful feeling- where most places along the main beach are subject to loud- and mostly tragically bad- music. Hillside resort itself is extremely steep- if you are located near the sea it is stunning, but quite a walk up to the building, but well worth the hot climb! The bungalows have A/C and a mini bar, and most offer a view of the sea. Be at the hotel bar for 5pm to enjoy BOGOF drinks and idyllic sunset views of the bay. The walk to town is a 10-15 min stroll down the steep hill, or a 200bht ride if outside the resort's free transfer service. Note that walking back isn't pleasant in the heat! Local pick up taxi drivers around the 7/11 store will take 300bht off you for the 3min drive back- walk a little towards the resort away from the town and you'll get one for 200bht or less. A longboat taxi will drop you off on the small private bay by the pool if you fancy a different journey home, or from day trips. There is a lot of good development going on to make a poolside bar and restaurant, and a new pier is being built, hinting at more facilities like a possible diving school etc. Get a killer deal whilst you can before price hikes!

I have to say I simply loved Thipwimarn. The room had a few small issues, things that while not bothering me personally too much, could cause some reviewers to blow a gasket! EG lamp next to the bed was smashed in one corner, should have been replaced or even just removed. Also one sheet had a big rip in it, which was not visible except when you got in bed! Lovely room setup on entering, pretty towel swans and lots of flowers. Room design very lovely except for the lack of overhead light - very dim at night and confusing. Old tv and needed to put the kettle on the floor to be able to plug it in to make tea & coffee, so a bit weird! The mosquito net wasn't strictly needed against beast but did moderate the aircon wonderfully - best nights sleep here! Lack of hot shower is clearly stated but I don't know why they don't just upgrade them - the rooms are at a price bracket you'd expect that and they would be pretty cheap to install basic electric hot water heaters! The pool is lovely - not huge, but a great view - you're really perched on the side of a mountain. For the cheapest rooms it's also a bit of a hike up to the reception/restaurant/pool area, but well worth it! Shame the spa was closed though, I would have liked a massage on site :P Breakfast was *exceptional*. They do not have buffet but basically will make you anything you ask for if they have it. We got a HUGE pile of bacon as well as lovely juice, decent coffee - few language mishaps but the view from the restaurant is simply DIVINE so enjoy it! Especially if you like Thai leaning pillows - one of the best resort restaurants I've ever been to. Wifi was excellent. Only downside really is it's a long way to the beach. So choose this resort for the time you want to laze by the pool or snuggle in your room! ALso watch out for the crabs on the stairs at night! You're in a very diverse jungle/beach environment here!! I would highly recommend Thipwimarn especially for couples.

Tucked away in the hills just above Sairee beach. Wonderful little villas each with their own personality. Great views and privates pools. Incredible stuff. And the staff is just lovely! Kit has got to be one of the best people anywhere. Made us feel like home and went well above and beyond for all of our fussy needs. Anankhira is a class act with a ton of character and smiling faces. This is the only place we will stay when on the island. :-) ❤️🏝🙏🏻

This is easily the best place to stay in Koh Tao and probably in Thailand. Their services (drivers and managers, cleaners) cannot be rated high enough. If there is any exemption possible to give an additional star in Agoda rating, I am giving it! 6 stars then. Private transfers 24/7 are true gem on this island and impress everyone who knows how expensive taxis are there. Swimming pools, villas, views - all have been our favourite. Monkey Flower Villas Team - thank you for everything!
