Hotels Near Coconut View Point in Koh Tao

I absolutely cannot recommend the hotel. The hotel was probably closed for 4 years and reopened in December 2023. It is in very bad condition. The rooms are outdated, the facility is dirty and still under construction. Building materials are flying everywhere. We didn't have a cow at first. We booked the chalet/bungalow. We had to leave the chalet we had booked immediately upon arrival because the smell was very strong. The lady at the hotel said that the paint had been freshly painted the day before. Here I ask myself why this is even offered to guests. After waiting for over an hour we got a room in a low category, we were once again negatively surprised. The air conditioning didn't cool down properly, there was no refrigerator in the room, no safe, no hairdryer, no shower enclosure in the bathroom. The equipment is very old. The TV does not work. There are no cupboards in the room to store clothes. The single bed is right next to the double bed & not separate with a partition in the room as booked in the chalet. The hotel complex is also horrible. Everything is still under renovation. Unfortunately, this was not noted anywhere by booking. There are several construction workers walking around. There is building material everywhere. The facility itself is very littered. Just like the pool. The pool bar & restaurant empty. There are no pool towels. Just like the pool. The pool bar & restaurant empty. There are no pool towels. The breakfast was inedible. After we slept in the hotel for one night, we were once again negatively surprised after our trip. The room wasn't even cleaned. No fresh towels. After my complaint, a lady came who wanted to clean our room. Unfortunately that was too late as we had to leave again. The staff at the hotel are very nice, but they cannot help us with the above-mentioned deficiencies. This hotel corresponds to a maximum of a 1-2 star hotel & not a 4 star hotel as described in booking. The renovation would have to be completed before this could be offered to guests.

In a very pleasant and quite busy location by the beach. Lots of ”life”, restaurants and activities offered in the immediate proximity of the resort. Our room was big and very comfortable with a pleasant terrace to enjoy the sunset. Great selection of dishes for breakfast... Overall an excellent choice for our first two nights in Koh Tao.

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.

I requested a transfer from the pier to the hotel at the hotel. One way meet for free. There are guys on the pier with signs (name of the hotel). Pay 20 baht entrance to Koh Tao and you will be taken to the reception. I was greeted by friendly staff, they gave me the key to the room, they explained everything. We took a regular room with breakfast included. There are no shops nearby, so either take it with you, if possible, or eat at a restaurant (normal prices), or you can order a transfer of 150 baht per person one way to Sayri, there are shops there. The room is nice, clean, kettle, fridge. Breakfast is not a buffet, to choose from. Portions are good. We also dined at the restaurant, they cook and bring quickly. The staff is very attentive, always smiling. They bring everything quickly, if you need something, ask and help in everything. Thank you very much for such hospitality! We swam with masks, it was very beautiful, the sunset was right from the shore and there were a lot of fish. We saw small sharks swimming by. In the morning there was a low tide, you can enter the water on the left near the stones or on the right, also near the stones. A lot of emotions! Return transfer to the pier, 100 baht per person. The roads are very steep but the views are beautiful. We walked from the hotel to the other side of the island. Ascents, descents are steep, hard, but interesting. On the way back, we met 3 snakes in a small area. In the end, I want to say that I liked everything in the hotel, one delight!

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.

Wonderful resort where we stayed in the family beach bungalow. Very nice accommodation. Everything was very clean and staff very friendly. Especially Tida who helped us 2 times in the restaurant was very helpful.

THE BEST HOSTEL I STAYED AT IN THAILAND. Apologies for shouting, but I had an incredible experience of staying in the Dearly hostel. Hostel/Dorms: I stayed for a week in a female dorm which I would recommend - sheets changed every 3 days, new towels available daily if needed, clean and nice smelling space, and comfortable beds that were not bunk beds. Modern and fresh decor with partitions between beds for more privacy. Such a simple and smart solution! Lovely and friendly cleaning ladies as well:)) The hostel itself surrounded by palm trees; I would definitely recommend to check out their common space on the 3rd floor (pictures attached). Shared Bathroom: clean, modern and nicely smelling bathrooms with shampoo and soap provided in the showers. Diving: I did the PADI open water course organised via dear hostel. As I was staying for a week the hostel offers a good deal for the accommodation combined with diving. The big advantage is a deep swimming pool at the hostel where you can practise diving skills before going into the open water. The swimming pool itself was great - they use salt instead of chlorine, which is both appreciated for the skin and hair. I would definitely recommend the diving instructor we had - Fam - who made us feel comfortable and ready to move from the swimming pool to open water diving. When speaking with other people staying in the hostel they also had a very positive experience with their diving instructors. Social: the hostel organised daily activities which were written on the blackboard in the lobby. I have not participated in many as I have been diving/studying for diving at the time, but it sounded like a good opportunity to meet other ppl. Personally, I made the most connections in my dorm bed and during breakfasts:) really great people and smiley faces with people wanting to be approachable. For partying we were going to the Sairee beach part of the island. This is not a party hard hostel, but it had a very good atmosphere of pre-drinks before going out and having a beer with some friends. Staff: very helpful, attentive and accommodating staff. Good email communication as well:) Breakfast: served 7-10 am; very useful to have it in the hostel when doing morning dives; everyday breakfast included toast, pancakes, fruit in coconut milk, and a rice/rice noodle dish. This was the first hostel breakfast I could eat in Thailand as I have food allergies and the rice/rice noodle dish was always very tasty. I recommended this hostel to three of my travel friends & all really enjoyed their stay here. For me, there is no other hostel alternative on Koh Tao ;) definitely will be back for another diving session! Thank you!

The Paradise Koh Tao Resort I was saying to my daughter how, for me, a 5 star hotel is not just about the quality of the room or building or the food or even the staff. It’s about the overall experience. Value for money, comfort, fun. We were met at the pier with our cases carried for us to a songthaews. We were met at the grand hotel by Koko who explained that there was a power cut. No electricity but he was smiling and so sincere it was not a problem for us. We were walked to our room by Koko and a colleague. They carried our cases. The room was just being finished with cleaning and we went into the massive room with a double and single bed. No AC because of power cut. It was funny with Koko explaining to us how it worked without being able to show us. My daughter and I then went to the pool which was absolutely amazing. We had the whole pool to ourselves for the afternoon. An elderly Thai couple came and we took some pictures for them. Then a German (or South African) couple. The pool and area was big enough that we weren’t in each others way. Able to relax, peace and have fun. We then ordered some ice cream and when the electricity came on we then ordered lunch; an omelette, a coconut chicken soup and red curry. It was absolutely delicious! (About 600BAHT). My daughter then showered and I had a bath on the balcony! Yes, a bath on the balcony, Bubbles bowing down the street. it was amazing! We then went down to the lobby and were driven free of charge into Koh Tao. We had a wonderful time in Koh Tao which is really alive again since covid. We then paid 500B for a cab back. We slept in the beautiful air conditioned room. The following morning we had breakfast (250B each) and were served again by Su (who was always helpful and smiling). There were other staff members (Myanmar) we didn’t get their names but thank you to them as well. Everyone was smiling, friendly, trying their best and running around for us. We then went on a snorkelling tour and when we came back went to our room which had been spotlessly cleaned with fresh towels etc. We then showered and went for dinner inside the restaurant because it was raining outside. For dinner we had Ka Pow (prawns/basil). Red Curry. Sweet and Sour Pork, coconut chicken soup (again). 4 drinks. It cost 870 Baht. The food at this place was probably the best of our entire trip. Unbelievably tasty I wanted to thank the chef. We then went and played a game of pool in the bar and then went back to the room and fell instantly asleep. The following morning a songthaews had been arranged for 8am to take us to the pier. The end! So, the night before we are at Suranthiya Koh Phangan and they are very similar. Only Suranthiya is about £350 per night and this place was about £40. I think in the 1990’s/2000’s this was Koh Tao’s Suranthiya. The place is a little bit old and weathered but it’s grand and fascinating with incredible view points and obvious history. The ambi

We didn't stay there but did pay to use the pool and had dinner in the restaurant. The location is stunning with an amazing view across the bay, where you can see turtles from the pool if you are lucky! You pay 500 Baht to use the pool and are provide with a towel. This (the 500 Baht) is offset against your bar bill. We also ate in the restaurant - an amazing location with great views of the sunset, wonderful food and top service. I'd love to stay there one day. It is a little off the beaten track but as a result is very peaceful.

The scenery is super beautiful. If you open the window, you can see the blue sea. Even the shit is smooth. The scenery is so good that the room facilities are okay. The location is too far away. It is suitable for traveling together. He is an independent villa small enough to live for two people and large enough for ten people to see how you choose the room type. There is a free car transfer to the pier and a private snorkeling area. There is no free for such expensive hotels. Breakfast makes me speechless, everything else is fine, I should go again next time
