Koh Tao Regal Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were friendly; facilities were beautiful. We had an amazing stay and will definitely come back again. ."

Sai Daeng Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This is the most spectacular location I have ever seen. Located on an outcrop, there are opportunities to swim on both sides so that if it’s windy on one side, you can just go to the other side where it’s protected. The snorkelling is second to none. Just tipping your face into the ocean for a moment you see multiple brightly coloured fish and pushing off from there is like an underwater aquarium. We snorkel to the next bay and back with ease. After so much Thailand, tourist intensity this feels like an absolute sanctuary. We took advantage of the things that were offered on site like Mui, Thai classes, and yoga and the gym and enjoyed the breakfast and the resorts restaurant. Ice bath was a treat and the pool is colder than the ocean, which is a rare treat on a hot day. We use the scuba diving refresher course on site, and then went scuba diving the next day. We are staying in a superior room and our balcony overlook the bay that everybody is trying to get to either by boat or by car. It is on our doorstep. The room is great. They bottle their own water, there are solar panels everywhere and they have really made an effort to be environmentally friendly. We like this place so much that we extended our trip by a few days. Yes, this place is a little bit far out of the way, but there’s a shuttle to Surrey Beach multiple times a day. Highly recommended."

Aiya Resort Koh Tao

10/10 Excellent

"I couldn't suggest a better place to stay in Koh Tao. Our room was clean, spacious, and very well located to the rest of the town. The pool was big, beautiful and photogenic too. The area was a quick 7 minute walk from the main part of town, which was perfect for us as we wanted to avoid too much foot traffic and noise while still being close. The most amazing part of our stay was the staff. We were so well taken care of, and were able to book all of our excursions (hikes, snorkelling, drives/commute) through the front desk. I genuinely think this is the best place to stay in downtown Koh Tao. Will 1000% be coming back!"

Jamahkiri Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had a deluxe room villa and it was an absolutely stunning room! The cleanliness was impeccable. All the food staff were very very kind. We stayed here for the convenience of the diving as well and found 1 of the ladies in the dive shop was not very friendly, informative or helpful… we felt like we were a nuisance to her most days. Then another lady showed up later in the weeks and she was absolutely wonderful and was very helpful :) we went diving with Nick, Jordan and Bjorn and they were all wonderful. Nick was very entertaining under water and even when visibility was low, gave us fun things to do :) the past reviews warning about stairs is very much real. It was a great leg workout for us for the week but I would not recommend it for anyone who isn’t fit. Shuttles into town are extremely helpful as taxis are quite expensive… overall this hotel was stunning and adorable <3 "
