Great
YYaelWe had an amazing time there. I really have nothing bad to say about it.
First of all- the stuff. Always welcoming you with a smile and treating you with a personal attention. for example we told them we’re going to the beach and they offered us to borrow snorkeling masks for free. Also I got hurt in my leg and they really helped me to bandage it. The most appreciated thing is that they heard our ferry back is at noon so they offered us late check out for free!
Beside that, the room is very clean, the view to the beach from the balcony is a big wow. the coffee at breakfast is just perfect.
Thank you so much guys ♥️♥️♥️ hope to come back someday.
AAnonymous UserA wonderful beach hotel! The grounds aren't huge, but they're very green and well-maintained. The bungalows are super cozy and charming. From any bungalow, it's no more than a 1-minute walk to the beach. There's a restaurant on-site serving both European and Thai cuisine. For breakfast, I even found oatmeal with mango! The beach is beautiful and long enough for a nice stroll. The sand is incredibly soft and fine. It does get a bit shallow at low tide. There's a Seven-Eleven about a 7-minute walk from the hotel along the main road.
GGuest UserThe hotel matches the description: a cozy bay, good service, tasty breakfast, and a great location close to nature.
We came mainly for snorkeling, but during these two days there were small waves and poor visibility — something impossible to predict. The forest bungalows with one bathroom shared between two rooms are tiny. We booked both rooms since there were three of us, and that worked fine, but sharing the bungalow with strangers would be questionable.
Soundproofing in the bungalows is weak. We could hear a lot at night — frogs and other wildlife were singing all night long. Bring earplugs if you need silence.
Breakfast was delicious, although some items listed on the menu were not available. Dinner in the evening was also quite good.
The transfer picked us up from the pier and brought us safely to the hotel. We used the same transfer on the way back, but it was paid — the hotel offers one free ride.
On the beach, there are indeed very few sun loungers and chairs for all guests. There are a couple of nice cafes on the beach for variety, but during the day many tourists come and it can be hard to find a place to sit.
Overall, we had a great two-day stay.
GGuest UserIf we come to KhoTao again, we will definitely stay at this hotel! Very beautiful hotel grounds, away from the noisy streets, but within walking distance. Lots of greenery, birds singing, just a tropical paradise); room cleaning every day, no need to ask anyone about it; you can order not only breakfasts but also lunches and dinners to your room (there are 2 menus from different restaurants in the room); very comfortable bed; panoramic windows overlooking palm trees, you wake up, open your eyes, and see :🌴; the cleanest and private pool with different depths, surrounded by the tropics, I still miss it and remember how good it was there..
There is also a transfer, we did not use it, but it is there. When the ferry arrives, to the left of the pier there will be guys with signs with the names of the hotels, look for Woodlawn Village. I give this hotel 11 out of 10 ❤️

GGuest UserBans is a well established resort right in the heart of the main town/strip. Located over two sites it has several polls and offers a wide range of rooms/prices. We were located up the hill so was really nice and quiet, but quick a hike to the rooms. Rooms were spacious and well equipped but were getting a bit tired. Air Con wasn’t working well and rooms were very warm. I understand from others around the pool, with was common. The grounds were groomed immaculately and the service was excellent. During the day the Fishbowl offers some tasty and relatively cheap food, overlooking the beach !!
This is a dive resort and almost resembled a factory for diving. Bit too over commercial for my liking, so we booked diving through a quieter dive school. All in all, a lovely resort, wonderful staff and service in some stunning grounds. Would recommend if you are wanting a little luxury.
JJlilley⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Peaceful Romantic Getaway with Stunning Views
We stayed at Taatoh Seaview Resort, bungalow S8, for two nights as a couple — and it was absolutely beautiful. The view from our bungalow was breathtaking — right over the turquoise water, with sunrise lighting up the bay. The sound of the waves and the peaceful atmosphere made it feel like our own private hideaway.
The bungalow itself was simple but comfortable, with everything we needed: a cozy bed, fan/aircon, fridge, and a private balcony perfect for morning coffee or watching the stars at night. The outdoor area had that perfect balance of privacy and openness, surrounded by lush greenery and ocean breeze.
The staff were kind and helpful, always smiling and quick to assist with transport or recommendations. The location is great — quiet and away from the crowds, but still close enough to Freedom Beach and the viewpoint trails.
If you’re a couple looking for a quiet, romantic spot to relax, reconnect, and enjoy the natural beauty of Koh Tao, bungalow S8 at Taatoh Seaview Resort is perfect. We left wishing we’d stayed longer.
MMathilde_rltA dream hotel right on Koh Tao beach, with a beautiful pool! The hotel is currently undergoing renovations, so during our stay, some rooms were under construction (but there was no noise), and the gym wasn't usable. I still recommend this hotel; they also offer a laundry service.
PPhil HamillThe place has great views with great service & very clean. The problem is its positioning & lack of trees. On the side of a hill it faces the hot sun all day & with no tree protection is melting every afternoon. The pool was green & murky when I stayed.
