Koh Tao Hotels with Rooftop Pools

"Came here to relax for a day after getting my diving certificate. The hotel is very cost-effective, you can take photos everywhere, the service staff are very good, there are many stairs in the hotel, there is a special person responsible for taking the luggage, you can snorkel on the beach, I saw a lot of fish and two turtles, I heard there were small sharks, but I didn't see them, I will come again if I have the chance."

"The location is nice and quiet, walking distance to other restaurants through the beach. The beach is very nice, clean and good for kids especially when the tide is low. Our Cabana was spacious, beautiful, although a bit dark. The water pressure was low and we didn’t have hot water. We asked them to fix it but it didn’t happen on time before our check-out. We stayed for two nights. The pool has a waterfall, and it looks a little run down. Nice view to the sea from the pool, though. The breakfast (included) was ok. Fruits, bread, but not many options for vegetarian/vegans in the menu. Dinners were good. Overall, a beautiful hotel, kind staff, great location, maintenance response could be better."

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would definitely come back. The location is great – you can easily rent a scooter directly from the hotel at a good price. If you prefer walking, it takes about 20 minutes downhill to reach the lively area with lots of restaurants, bars, and shopping options. Our villa with sea view was absolutely beautiful and worth it. The view was stunning, the room was very clean, and housekeeping came every day. Breakfast was tasty and had everything you need, even though it wasn’t very varied. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend this hotel. We will definitely book it again on our next visit to Koh Tao."

"I recently stayed at Sai Daeng Resort, and it was an amazing experience. The location is fantastic, with a peaceful and private beach that offers a truly relaxing atmosphere. The entire property is well-maintained and exceptionally clean. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with a smile. Their service made my stay even more enjoyable. The overall ambiance is perfect for those looking for tranquility. The resort is quiet and serene, making it an excellent place to unwind and escape from the hustle and bustle. I will definitely come back again!"

"Even though it’s located a bit out of the way they have free transport services throughout the day to get to town. Also free transfer from the ferry. Great view points from pretty much everywhere in the resort. There’s a snorkelling point right at the bottom of the resort and kayaks available for hire which I thought was a good touch."

"The hotel is nice in general, the location is also quite convenient. It is located up the hill thou but the view is amazing! They have shuttle bus to take you around the island if you need it. But if you rent the bike, the location is not a problem at all. It might look a bit old, but I didn’t mind it. The stuff is super friendly and helpful. The food is just okay. We loved our stay there."

"It was amazing time in Lub D hotel in Koh Tao. Super friendly staff provided support on every step: transfer from and to pier, new and clean rooms, very good breakfasts, every day some interesting entertainment, swimming pool, snorkeling, kayaking, diving, etc. Tanote bay is tropical paradise. Amazing snorkeling starts immediately when you step in water. Also you can find several good restaurants on the beach with affordable prices. Only one disadvantage - always not enough days in this lovely place."

"Хороший отель, очень чисто и супер приятный аромат в номере ❤️ Персонал приветливый. Вода горячая всегда. Вайфай нормальный. Минус один - постельное белье. Оно чистое, но очень старое, в дырах.."

"I would not recommend staying at Sairee Hut Resort. The place is extremely run down. Our room had no hot water, the shower drain was clogged and overflowing, and mosquitoes filled the room, making it uncomfortable to sleep. However, what bothered me most was the resort’s treatment of animals. They keep wild birds confined in small cages out front, with barely any room to move, let alone fly. I’m not sure if this is cultural or meant for tourist entertainment since the birds can talk, but whatever the reason, it is cruel! Birds are meant to be free, not locked in cages for display. These birds were kept in the cages for the entire duration of our stay, and I can only imagine how long they’ve been trapped there. Overall, this resort was disappointing, both in its facilities and ethics. I would not stay here again."

"We stayed at the hotel in mid-May, it is not the season, there were few guests at the hotel. The hotel provides a free transfer from and to the ferry. It is not long to get to the hotel, just cross the island. The hotel is located on a steep cliff, at the top there are several buildings, and bungalows on the slope, in several tiers. The climb is quite steep, you do not go to your room from the beach - all movement is along endless stairs. Even lower there is a public road along the sea, along which sometimes a lonely motorcycle passes, behind it, hanging over the sea, is the hotel pool, from which there is a path to the site with an entrance to the sea. However, during our stay this site was not working, on the path to it there was a blockage: there was construction work there, they were also carried out by the pool. The bar by the pool was closed, water was pouring from the shower, but there was no shower head, but the toilet was functioning! If you walk 300 m along the road to the right and go down to the sea - there will be a small bay where you can sunbathe and swim. Right from the shore there is a large coral reef, so the bay serves as a starting point for snorkeling. The room is clean, quite old in furniture and design, but the TV is new, air conditioning and refrigerator work well. The bathroom is not very big, the plumbing has already outlived its usefulness, and there is very little light. The room itself is a good size and an even larger loggia with a couple of chairs, which together with the panoramic windows creates the feeling of a very spacious room. The view from the loggia to the sea is simply fantastic, because you are at a great height! And we got a corner room, the view opened in two directions! Of the disadvantages: a resort hotel, but they forgot about drying towels and clothes. You have to dry things on chairs. An attempt to hang shorts to dry on the railing ended with them being searched for the next morning in the thickets of bushes under the hotel. A hotel employee helped, a plus in the column about the staff's work. There is no general Wi-Fi network and you need to register in each zone: if you are near the router, everything works fine, but there are a lot of dead zones. Our room was like this, we had mobile internet, but the big new TV didn't work, because it received a signal via Wi-Fi, or rather, it didn't receive it. Of course, the staff couldn't solve the problem with the non-working TV. The hotel restaurant is very nice, with all-round glazing and a gorgeous view on three sides. The food was worse, a minimal buffet plus eggs in different variations to order. On the first day in the morning there were a little more people than usual, apparently a small group of German tourists was leaving, there was some chopped mango on the buffet, which ran out with them. We asked when they would bring more, and received the answer that there would be no more mango. We had an emotional conversation with the hostess in the restaurant: mango was suddenly found... During the other two breakfasts it didn't appear at all: apparently, during our first breakfast, supplies for several days were finished. The pancakes were undercooked, the coffee and tea were from a barrel, you just can't drink them! Hot dishes are minimal and they don't bring new ones. We had dinner at the restaurant of the neighboring hotel (View Point Resort), it is located on the seashore, to the left along the road. The restaurant has quite reasonable prices, restaurant quality and service, works for everyone, is marked on Google maps (The Cape). On the same road, 200 m away, there is a small family store where you can buy water, beer, chips, etc. Prices are like in a local 7-Eleven, and in a local 7-Eleven they are a third higher than on the mainland. If you go this way during the day, then after passing through the hotel you will go to the shore and moving to the left along the beach, stones, and through the Happy Monk bar, and then along the footbridge towards solid land, you will find yourself in a local village around a fairly large bay with hotels and diving centers. There are several ATMs, a real 7-Eleven and many small local restaurants. This path can only be done during the day, but not at night. Overall the hotel left a good impression, the sea view makes up for many of the shortcomings and we would stay there again."
