    when you book there’s a message sent to you about getting a free shuttle from the port to the airport, we responded immediately with the time we’d be at the port for collection and we got to the port the next day and no one was there to collect us. it was frustrating because they had our booking printed out in front of them so the receptionists were obviously aware that we replied. we had to walk 15 mins up and down hills with huge bags on. so I wouldn’t count on the shuttle. our room was also very dated, needs maintenance and updating to match the price. we got put in room 208 which had a bathroom which isn’t pictured in any photos and it wasn’t great. the drains stink whenever you shower and the windows are broken so you can’t air it out. very dated kettle too, would spill everywhere when pouring.

    amazing location and lovely views. they also had cats who I assume live nearby and they were very cute and friendly, made our experience a lot better

    You can hear the nearby music. I generally sleep with earplugs, so wasn’t an issue. Otherwise no issues at all.

    It’s well positioned in between the pier and Sairee Beach, and arranged around two pools that lead down to ocean. No beach, but easy access into the ocean and great snorkelling. I saw three octopuses right in front of the hotel (night snorkel). There’s no restaurant or bar in the hotel, but so many nearby that it doesn’t matter. Staff were friendly and helpful. Bed was super comfy and the room large. I had an upstairs room and the balcony is large and affords a great view.

    Beautiful place, some minor issues

    • Superior Double or Twin Room with Pool View
    • Stayed 3 nights

    There were a lot of ants in the room, we couldn't leave anything on the floor. Water pressure and temperature in the shower were not consistent and there isn't a shower curtain. The door to our room was broken when we checked-in, and this was not fixed during our stay although we were promised it will be fixed. The breakfast room has an espresso machine, but it is not included in the breakfast so you have to pay extra for it. One of the lights in the toilets didn't work and the door didn't closed properly.

    This is a lovely modern, elegant, well-maintained hotel. The pool is incredible and the room was nice and comfortable. Location is as good as it gets - at the beginning of the Sairee beach which is where you can find many restaurants, pubs and diving shops. The balcony is fun, as it watches over the pool and there is even sea-view. Staff was helpful.

    Old and used towels and bed sheets which spoil an overall impression to a great extent. The breakfast is not worth your time, just skip it. We stayed one night in a ground-floor room on the left-hand side of the reception. Visibly lower quality of the room and its cleanliness compared to the right-hand side rooms.

    Great location, close to the beach and restaurants. Rooms on the right-hand side of the reception have a great view both to the swwiming pool and the sea. Friendly staff which tries to do their best.

    the dining area needs a fresh coat of paint and felt a bit less classy than the rest of the hotel. aside from that I have nothing to complain about. it was perfect.

    perfectly situated. the most gorgeous views out onto the ocean. quiet and yet close to the main beach and all the restaurants and vibe. i highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting koh Tao. we have stayed here twice and will return. do yourself a favor and book the deluxe suite. it has two private balconies- one with a swing chair. the main bedroom has full glass sliding doors on three of the sides so it has a gorgeous 180 degree view directly onto the ocean. spectacular.

    the breakfast wasn’t great we ate somewhere else for breakfast twice as we preferred elsewhere. it was sometimes hard to find staff as there wasn’t really anyone around (they were friendly when you could find them though!) some bits of the hotel seemed a little run down, nothing bad but just need some updating

    we had a wonderful room with an amazing view looking over sairee beach, it was truly breathtaking & worth upgrading to. the hotel was quiet whilst we were there so we had the pool to ourselves except our last day. the location is at the end of sairee beach so you will do lots of walking up & down walking street or the beach but it is a good location.

    Amazing location, pools, room and staff. I recommend to anyone, especially if you are not keen on renting a scooter as its super easy to get to everything and the travel kiosk next door is so helpful to getting around the island to places not walkable. We looked long and hard for a place to stay and since coming, are sure this is the best in terms of value, location and comfort! Wonderful beds too!

    We stayed in the one bedroom beachfront unit which had fantastic views and was spacious. The Hotel was in a great spot, walking distance to everything but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Koh Tao which can be a bit noisy if you stayed right in the centre. Beach was literally at the doorstep.

    A nice surprise on arrival at the pier was a free transfer to the resort. The staff were all very helpful, and the place was just like the photos. We hired a motorbike from here and had no issues at all. The bed was comfortable and the AC worked well. It's also a great location for walking along the busiest part of the island for food & drinks.
