Koh Tao Beach Hotels

A wonderful place for recreation 🫶 lived 2 families from 25 to 30 December in the smallest villa, all this time with us were wonderful Steve and Muhammad. Steve took us all over the island wherever we wanted and took us from anywhere, thank you Steve 🙏Muhammed also took care that our rest was careless, helped to organize the washing, Organized us a tour to the sea 🙏ville clean every day, there is everything necessary for cooking food (we did not prepare TK on the sairi a lot of delicious cafes). I definitely recommend this place for rest, very atmospheric and comfortable, in the surrounding jungle ❤️

Stayed 3 nights in a Superior Double Room for our honeymoon. Do not go here as a couple — tiny balconies with no privacy, dirty towels, and a lizard even got into our room. Bathroom design is terrible (no curtains, only one shower head), breakfast requires a long walk to a dirty hall, and reception closes at 19:30, only interested in selling diving packages. Rooms are far up steep hills, so be ready to walk. Maybe okay for divers or backpackers, otherwise avoid. Giving it a higher rating since the hotel's main customers aren't honeymoon couples. That's our fault...

The rooms have a rustic design but are full of thoughtful details, reflecting an eco-friendly and holiday-oriented concept. The hotel assigned us a very private room with a balcony overlooking the entire bay, and we even had occasional visits from small animals. While there isn't a private beach, there's a small pier within walking distance where you can swim and snorkel, and the water here is much clearer than the sandy areas next door. The hotel restaurant was a pleasant surprise; both the Thai and Western dishes were excellent, so there's no need to go out for meals. A exquisite and private hotel, highly recommended!

Good service throughout our stay with staff being helpful and friendly. Has a nice pool area and loungers on beach front. In a good central location in Sairee area. The room we had was large and generally clean although does seem to have an issue with drain flies, despite trying to get rid of them each day there would be numerous more by the next day. Also be prepared for mosquitoes! Aside from this still recommend.

We had an unforgettable week at this beautiful hotel. The grounds are gorgeous, like a jungle, with a pool and the sea nearby (just as good as Ao Leuk beach). The breakfasts are wonderful, with something for everyone. The staff are friendly; I'd especially like to mention Kiat. There's also a dive school on-site, which is very convenient. The road to the hotel is one of the most scenic on the island – it's a real pleasure coming back here.

We stayed in a triple room. It had everything we needed. Breakfast was included. While there wasn't a huge variety, you'd find something to eat (scrambled eggs, rice, meat, greens, fruit). The staff were friendly and ready to help if needed. The beach was nice. We went when the waves were high, so snorkeling wasn't really an option. There were small sharks swimming near the shore.

The location is excellent, very close to restaurants and 7-Eleven, and right on the beach at the back. The atmosphere in the evening is fantastic. However, if you prefer peace and quiet, this place might be a bit noisy due to music and people since it's near bars. Overall, the room was clean, the air conditioning was cool, and the balcony was nicely spacious.

We stayed at Dusita Buncha for 6 days. Our room had a sea and pool view. The room was spacious, but there weren't enough shelves for small items, so all our little things ended up in bags in the corner. The bathroom didn't have a shower screen. We also heard the constant noise of water pumps. They offered us a room on a higher floor, but it had the same issue. Some people might not notice it, but I got used to it over the days. The mattress and pillows were comfortable. The fridge and air conditioning were a bit loud, but again, you get used to everything. We ended up sleeping without the AC. The hotel has beautiful grounds, but I wish they'd take better care of them, especially clearing trash and dirt from the pathways. The sea had lots of coral and fish. We took a boat to Nang Yuan islands, which cost 300 baht per person for a round trip. The gym smelled strongly of rubber, so I couldn't use it. Unfortunately, they didn't provide water bottles or towels for our child (6 years old). The staff were friendly and responsive! Dining at the hotel restaurant for lunch and dinner was a bit expensive, so we went to neighboring cafes instead. My suggestion would be to create a small kids' room or playground, as there's plenty of space on the hotel grounds. Also, having some board games would be a nice addition.

The exterior of the hotel is fab, right along a private beach with amazing views, sand and 3 pools, including a dive pool if you need. The restaurant is also pretty scenic and the food relatively affordable for a hotel restaurant. The on-site laundry service is quick and competitively priced. The room itself was a letdown, very dated, dark and not very clean. The bathroom in particular was an issue for me, the shower heads had rusted and not kept clean and the general state of the bathroom was dark and dirty along the walls, sink and floors. The bathroom was full of mosquitos because the shower allows standing water after you shower and doesn't drain, with no windows to open (easily). The bathroom handle was also faulty, but the staff were happy to repair it once notified. I also found a cockroach in the bathroom in the night - appreciate you can't control this, but it just added up to a wider picture with cleaning issues. Finally, the on site gym was unusable. They just need to give the rooms (and gym) a good refurb and refresh. Until then, if you have issues with cleanliness, I advise you not to stay here.

I stayed in the garden view room for 10 days. There is a pretty good sea view through the trees, but you do have to climb up some fairly rickety stairs to get up there which won’t suit everyone. PD is only 10 minutes from the pier, but it’s a very hilly journey and it does feel a bit remote, although Chalok beach is a rugged 20 minute walk and has shops, banks, restaurants. The room did feel a bit overpriced as did the restaurant, but the food is all very decent. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and contributed to a very pleasant stay. Overall we had a very nice time but if I went back to Koh Tao I might have to stay somewhere more accessible, but if you want peace and quiet and you’re a confident bike rider or don’t mind a walk for getting around I would definitely recommend PD.
