Hotels Near Chalok Baan Kao Beach in Koh Tao

Very good, everything. Good atmosphere, clean hotel, beautiful view, good value for money, but the way up to the accommodation is quite steep. After entering the accommodation, it is difficult to come to the various beaches below. And slightly less service issues Meaning that when he was unwell, In the early hours of the day, I wanted to request a drug from reception. But cannot contact at all The taxi can't be contacted. Have to let the friend below Find a taxi to pick up to buy your own medicine. It's hard to go back. But overall, the accommodation is really good.

We had a wonderful stay in coral view, what an amazing team of staff, who are so helpful, friendly and welcoming. The place is set in an outstanding location, right on the beach front of a beautiful bay on the south east of the island. We visited with our teenage son and his friend and spent 5 fabulous nights in a sea front chalet. The rooms are a good size, with much needed working air con. The hotel itself is on three different levels, with a great choice for breakfast, a very peaceful sitting area, with pool table, a fabulous reception desk team, who were so wonderful. Down near the beach, is a beach bar with a team of the best hotel staff, who make a wonderful cocktail and some tasty food. There’s a diving shop on the beach, where we rented some fins for snorkelling (the hotel also has goggles and snorkels for free) Whilst we were there, the hotel arranged for a local guide to take us around the island on his small boat, which cost about £80 for the four of us. This was the highlight of our time there on the island, swimming with turtles, exploring the Japanese garden and visiting shark bay. We took a car into Sairee Beach for an afternoon’s stroll around the busier parts of Koh Tao. We are very grateful to the entire team for making us so welcome, from the cooks in the kitchen to the bar staff, the grounds people and bar staff, how fortunate we were to find this place. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a bit of paradise.

We loved this place, the hotel is not far from the pier, we actually walked with children and managed it even in the heat, literally about 5-10 minutes, just turn right out of the pier and walk straight to the end of the road, its tucked away right at the end, fabulous spot. The room we had was amazing, big comfy bed for us, bunk bed for the kids, raised seated area, huge balcony and great bathroom, fridge, tv with cable channels, water, tea coffee provided, hairdryer, towels and room kept clean daily. The pool was a great size, you get towels from reception. The staff are all lovely and on hand to help with anything you need, we had breakfast included which was really good, continental selection, food to order (you can choose 2 items off a menu) and good tea/coffee machine and they have proper big mugs! we ate at the restaurant for lunch and once for dinner too and both times the food was lovely and really good value for money. If we ever return to Koh Tao this is definitely where we will stay again, highly recommend.

We booked this place due to the pool area which was big with lots of beds and close to the beach. The room was 1100 Baht per night, which is around £25. Price wise this wasn't too bad when compared to other properties in the area. The room has good air conditioning, kettle and a hair dryer. The beds were a little hard but still fairly comfortable. However, the hotel in general is in dire need of renovation. The rooms had areas of mould and broken tiles. The doors felt fairly flimsy and easy to force. There was jo in room safe either. We noticed the pool area was pretty dirty and the pool itself clearly needed a proper clean. The staff were as helpful as we're used to in Thailand. No mention of the restaurant, laundry, cleaning, checkout or anything other than payment. We booked what was advertised as a free transfer to the ferry, and it wasn't there on time so we had to walk at late notice. All in all, not the best stay. It was great having loungers and the pool, but needs some work to bring it into this century.

We originally booked a fan room above the dive shop. When we arrived and realized how hot that was going to be, we asked to be moved to the beach side bungalows with air conditioners. It was well worth the extra price per night. The difference in the bed comfort, the pillows, and the spaciousness of the room and bathroom was pretty dramatic. We had a king bed (two full beds pushed together) and it wasn't as uncomfortable as it sounds. We slept very well each night. The thick curtains completely blocked out most of the light and the air conditioner worked perfectly. We had a fridge and safe in the room and the resort provided 2 bottles of water every day when they cleaned the room. We had a view of the pool and beach. The morning dives leave from the beach right there at the resort making it very convenient to have multiple dives per day. The pricing was reasonable and similar to other resorts in the area, but this place had more of a feeling of camaraderie. We really enjoyed hanging out with the other divers and the employees. The resort is close enough to town to be within walking distance so we went out most every day for shopping/massages/lunch. The restaurant attached to the resort has an extensive menu that is well priced with inexpensive drink specials during happy hour. The pool table is free to use (not the case with other bars in town.) Have Coco make you a margarita and play a game of pool with you (ask him what his favorite shot is.) When it was time for us to leave, the receptionist sat down with us to give us travel tips and places to see for the rest of our time in Thailand. She was very friendly and helpful. We feel like we hit the jackpot with this resort. It had everything we needed, a dive center where I could complete my OW and AOW certifications, restaurant, bar, beach and pool. We will absolutely put this on our list of places to stay in the future when we travel to Thailand again.

Spacious and clean room. A little far from the swimming pool, at the bottom of a path. Very pleasant staff except for a haughty and impolite person at reception who speaks as badly to the staff as to the customers. Great breakfast buffet!

Ban’s is one of the biggest diving center in Tao. We had standard room with ac. Everything worked very well, making up the room was daily, if needed. Hotel has many swimming pools, but daily time pools are only for divers. There are laundry (1kg/50baht), restaurant, diving center, motorbike rental, Ban’s shops and everything you need for a diving holiday. Hotel area is HUGE, so be ready to walk if your room is up in the hill. About 15min walk from the harbour.

The service at the Tarna Align resort is impeccable. They keep you in touch via Whatsapp and are incredibly welcoming and helpful. Golf buggies take you anywhere you want to go into Sairee and then bigger vans for the pier. They provide good amenities eg toothpaste. We stayed in a Villa Sea View room which had absolutely stunning views and a great balcony. It was a short trip into Sairee for walks in the day or for night time activities. The only downside was the room. 1. It was incredibly dark with all the lights on at night with no option to have brighter lights on. 2. The bedside table is a small floating shelf next to the bed and sloped downwards so in the night things would fall off onto the floor. 3. The only way to control lighting and air con was by a panel on one side of the bed which meant if one person fell asleep the other person had to try and get out to get to the panel. 4. Beware of the glass door to the toilet- we both walked into it and bruised ourselves as it was so clean and see through. Could benefit from stickers on it to prevent this. 5. The fridge is right behind the bed and very noisy so we had to unplug it at night to sleep

Unfortunately we were very disappointed with our stay here. The location of the hotel is amazing, on the beach along a very busy ***** of restaurants and beach bars which was great. However, the hotel itself was sadly a let down. The hotel keep whistling birds in cages just outside the hotel rooms so expect to be woken at all hours by birds whistling louder than we could believe. The room we were in was very basic to the point where the only plug socket was by the front door, so to dry my hair I had to stand at the front door with no mirror or chair… The shower was a fixed height (very low) so my partner had to be on his knees to wash his hair and I had to bend significantly despite not being very tall. The room was very dark with basically no natural light at all throughout the day. The bedding was just a thick blanket, that I imagine isn’t washed between guests, in between two loose sheets so the blanket kept coming out of the sheets. The toilet was very temperamental and wouldn’t always flush properly. One positive is that the air con was strong however to circulate the air we also had the fan on and this made an annoying screeching noise when it turned to a certain point, which again, woke us up during the night. We didn’t have breakfast because we had a look at what was on offer and decided to go elsewhere as there are lots of nice local places to eat. The staff also weren’t the most pleasant and even got our dates confused when we checked in. Sadly wouldn’t recommend this hotel.

The location is nice and quiet, walking distance to other restaurants through the beach. The beach is very nice, clean and good for kids especially when the tide is low. Our Cabana was spacious, beautiful, although a bit dark. The water pressure was low and we didn’t have hot water. We asked them to fix it but it didn’t happen on time before our check-out. We stayed for two nights. The pool has a waterfall, and it looks a little run down. Nice view to the sea from the pool, though. The breakfast (included) was ok. Fruits, bread, but not many options for vegetarian/vegans in the menu. Dinners were good. Overall, a beautiful hotel, kind staff, great location, maintenance response could be better.
