Simple Life Talay & Divers Resort

Very bad hotel I’ve been seeing, there needs to be renovation, so old and dirty. I cannot sleep all night bc of the rat or something running around on the ceiling. And my skin got itchy from the bed. Dang my worst experience ever!!

The reception staff are good service, The hotel's location is also great, there are the beach with amazing sunset views, The rooms are decent for the price, not too bad for me, If I return, I would definitely stay here again, Thank you so much, Kob Kun Ka

Was a very good Hotel. I don’t really understand the Bad Reviews here. Everything was Fine. We booked a Room with sea view.

The location of this hotel is the best part, close enough to all the restaurants etc, but far enough where you won’t hear any of the music. It is also located on a small road with little traffic so is relatively quiet. The air con in the room worked well too. However, a few problems included the very low water pressure for the bathroom sink, which did make it annoying to wash your hands. In addition, the wifi couldn’t reach our room.

I enjoyed my stay at the Simple Life Talay & Divers Resort. The location was excellent. Close to everything including the ocean and beach etc. The staff were excellent, very helpful, polite and kind. The layered pools were very cool too and of course you have an amazing view of the ocean from all levels. The room was good, nothing super special but we were also staying in the "back" away from the ocean/pool due to the price we chose. Oddly enough, the room didn't have a window in the front, just 4 "glass" blocks so it felt like a cave at times. But great to have the mini-fridge and warm water shower cuz the weather was unseasonably cool and rained one day. The first night there was this awful noise of water dropping on a big plastic bucket all night long and we had a very hard time sleeping. But thankfully, we were able to the staff to move the bucket to the noise went away. Many of their Burmese staff stay in our building as well so you have to put up with various noises of people and families chatting to each other, making "Som Tam" and banging on things. But no problem recommending this place to anyone. Very pleased with our stay there for what we paid! And of course loved our time on Koh Tao and can't wait to go back!

Better than expected but you can can feel that the place is a bit outdated. The reception is very helpful and act in requests like more towels etc. Great for sleeping but maybe not to spend long time in the room as it’s a bit dull. 4/5
