Booked a beachfront room and it was exactly as it looks in the pictures. Direct access to the beach via a private ladder. There is a hammock net outside which is great for relaxing, reading a book, or just watching the sunset. The mattress is comfy; the pillows have foam/fibre filling so could be better, and personally I found the duvet unnecessarily warm for a tropical climate which meant I had to turn the aircon up really cold. There is no swimming pool, but who needs one when the sea a step away. Breakfast choices are simple but tasty; the service staff are very friendly and helpful, but I was charged for a coffee refill which I think is unnecessary. The reports about loud music from the Fishbowl Bar are correct. Don’t stay here if you are an early or light sleeper; thumping bass music until 2am every night. However, just remember that there are few places in the world that you can get a beachfront room at such a price (I stayed during the shoulder season so the price/value equation was good for me, so decide accordingly for yourself). Location-wise (part from the loud nightly music) you can’t beat this, a step away from some great upscale restaurants as well as more traditional Thai eateries.

Amazing beachfront hotel in koh Tao with attentive staff. Basic amenities as there are plenty of attractions nearby to make up for it. Highly recommend staying to catch the amazing sunset every night from your room.

This one asks for permission to be an honest review (purely based on my own experience).
strength
1.Good view, sunset view On the balcony of the room, this is really good.
2. Location: Convenient location near bars, restaurants, and food.
3. The accommodation is next to the beach.
weakness
1. The room where you will stay The water flows very slowly. That is, you have to allow 1 hour for showering.
2. Shower gel, put in a 5-10 ml. bottle, that is, pour it all in one go.
3. This is a big problem. That is, the employees have very poor communication. (Being a Burmese person) who can't communicate in English and Thai. There is a problem with breakfast every day.
** Went during the renovation of the restaurant ** Must bring the coupon to the Bluewater restaurant.
but!! Only gave 1 coupon, stayed 3 nights, only gave one night, very confused, had to argue with the restaurant every day. Until the last day, I didn't ask for food. Request a refund for breakfast
4. The shift went to rest. The first night I was able to sleep. Then the second night there was a sound of nails being hammered. The loud noise from 7:45 a.m. made me angry and had to wake up. In conclusion, go ask and tell them to renovate.
That is, before renovating, customers should be informed. There should be a sign posted announcing what day and time the hotel will be renovated. There is a lack of communication. I mean, we're not okay at all.
6. Paid 8800.88 baht, slept 3 nights, didn't get peace. Total comfort.
7. After breakfast On the first day of staying, I woke up early and went down to eat breakfast.
Ask the employee at the counter. I was told where to go to eat. I said walk 2 minutes and it's on the left and you'll get there. So I just walked as told. In summary, the restaurants are arranged in a row. Wrong entry, walked back to the hotel. Let me help you go. We went and asked him to eat for free. This one is not okay.
Note: Whoever wants to go and take a break, go ahead. We review truthfully. We may be unlucky enough to encounter situations like this ourselves.

I personally do not recommend this hotel. Before I arrived at the hotel, I booked a room worth more than 1,000 yuan for two nights, but the room was very small, and the bathing water was only warm. The bedding inside was still dirty. I thought it was the environment of the island. There was no way to wash the sheets, and the supplies were relatively scarce, but later I changed the sheets in another hotel and they were very clean. The water suddenly stopped when my daughter was in the middle of her shower. I asked the staff and said that it will take 20 to 50 minutes to solve the water pressure problem. The bed sheets are dirty and the water in the shower is unstable, which makes me think this hotel is terrible. In the evening, we went to the restaurant of this hotel and ordered some barbecue and seafood platters, but the dishes were served very slowly. After eating, we found that their beef kebabs hadn’t been served yet. It turned out that they forgot to serve them, whether it was from the restaurant or the check-in The experience made me feel that this hotel is relatively bad, and the wind blowing by the sea at night is relatively cold, except for the sea outside the window, there are really no advantages. Except for the sea outside the window, there is really no advantage map

The location is very good, just beside the beach, the whole hotel building is very beautiful, the facilities in the room are complete, the air conditioner and hot water are very powerful, the sea view is outside the window, and you can watch the sunset every evening. The quality of the breakfast is very good, and you can also rent paddle boards in the store at a reasonable price. Watching the sunset with a paddle board is great! Next to it is the largest dive shop on the island. There are two dives in the morning and afternoon. You can also dive at night, and you can also snorkel in the bay in front of the door. There are several good restaurants around, with fresh seafood and Thai food. In short, a pleasant week, highly recommended!

Right in front of the beach. Convenience store is also a few minutes walk. I want to stay again. The hotel has two floors, you go up the stairs, take off your shoes and walk to your room.

Well, I don’t know if this is a fair review or not because I never got to actually stay here. The stay got booked for the wrong dates. When I realized this I tried multiple times to reach out to the property. ******* also tried to reach out to help with a refund, but the hotel refused. Mind you I was never contacted or responded to by this property in anyway. I rebooked the stay for the correct dates, and reached out to see if the room could be upgraded since we payed for a stay we never got. I can’t say I’m super excited to stay here. But maybe they could upgrade our stay in February in some way since they got $500 of our money, for no service. Who knows. We shall see….

I would echo a lot of Chelsea’s review below. Staff were very helpful and organised us a last minute island tour without fuss. Our room was first/second floor (not ground) and so we had a balcony. I was happy to have not paid a premium for the netted area as people will come and place their towels immediately around and below you. Instead we had a balcony with a comfy L shape sofa which caught the sun and meant we could gaze out at the beach and sunset. Our room was also further enough down the hotel (room 112) that we picked up some light bass from the bar but it was not really invasive. Honestly people slamming doors to their rooms is more of an issue, but you find discourteous people anywhere. The renovations… again didn’t hugely impact but I could see that it would grate on some people. Hopefully once complete they don’t run it as a night time bar as that will be disruptive to the rooms above (inherently further away from the other bar) AND importantly they will have a breakfast offering worth going to. We ignored the offer of breakfast and went to the nearby The Factory Cafe which is superb. Overall I would cautiously recommend a stay. I was concerned it was going to be a 3/10 stay based on the other reviews and it was more 7.5/10.

We stayed in the middle beach front room. From looking at the other hotels in the surrounding area, this was probably best for value and location. Staff were incredibly kind and extremely helpful. I’d rate the hotel amenities 3 star - but the location gets it to the 4th star. The bed was the comfiest I have slept on in Thailand and the beach front room was a treat when waking up in the morning. Hot water and water pressure wasn’t consistent and lots of ants everywhere. The room was clean and spacious. The hotel is currently renovating (receptionist said it would be completed on the day or day after our stay, but it definitely looks like it will be finished in mid-January/early Feb. Tip for the hotel staff - please be upfront and honest to manage guests expectations about your renovation - it didn’t bother us but it would bother others!) Skip the breakfast - As the hotel is renovating, breakfast is at a cafe a few doors down. You can choose either a ‘western, Thai or healthy’ breakfast. We had the western and healthy between us, honestly I’d skip the breakfast as there better looking places nearby and on the side streets. This isn’t the hotels fault, it’s just whoever they’ve teamed up with. We emailed beforehand to ask not to be in the room next to the bar as we’d read negative reviews. We were placed in the middle beach view room out of the 5. We stayed Wednesday - Saturday and the room was quite loud, it’s mostly the base you can hear from the nearby beach bar. The hotel provides earplugs in the room anyway and we didn’t find it as a problem as we sleep through anything - but it was VERY loud on the Friday night and would bother some. There was a drunk man who tried to take a sleep on our balcony netting, security spotted him very quickly and had already moved him along before I asked. Even though this happened, I felt extremely safe knowing there’s security all night long who keep a watchful eye. If you’re ok with your location being in a super busy area and wanting to experience Koh Tao’s night life, this hotel is for you. If you want something more private and peaceful, I’d suggest looking elsewhere but you won’t find a better location to a brilliant beach. Friendly staff and very helpful. We were offered a free bottle of wine from the mini bar and two free taxi trips to the port - thank you!
