Fantastic position on the beach surrounded by lovely little cafes and shops. Balcony was lovely to sit and watch the world go by. Unfortunately, it’s super noisy at night until the early hours. On our second night there the water stopped, just as we were getting ready to go out and stayed off for several hours. It finally came on and then the electricity cut out, think it was everywhere though. At least the music stopped for a while. Shower room had some black mould and was very small. Staff were lovely though.

Overall the hotel was very nice and in a great location with lots of bars and restaurants near by. The included hotel breakfast was very delicious. I’d recommended staying here for your time in Koh Tao!!
The only confusion was upon check in we were told by the receptionist they would arrange a taxi to take us to the pier the next day at 9am as our ferry was at 9:30am and the taxi service would be complimentary. When checking out we found out no taxi was arranged and it was not complimentary (100 THB per person). The receptionist ordered us a taxi and we made it to our ferry so all was fine in the end. Just added unnecessary stress and confusion to our morning.

The property was in a good location, but its hot water system was not good, we showered with cold water for couple of days! And the restaurant they had next to the hotel wasn’t part of the hotel! That’s what they said

We were hoping for a nice chilled stay at the end of our trip, hotel not quite described correctly! Room 101...Very noisy, especially at night with base from bar next door banging through the walls, balcony on the beach had dog mess and rubbish underneath and smell from all rubbish down the side of the hotel. Was not impressed with other people sitting and being very loud on the balcony in the night, however they were moved along by security....didnt help when have an early transfer in the morning. Beach in the daytime was very busy and loud music played by others and blocking access from balcony down to the beach
Staff in the bistro were lovely and we tried not to let the above spoil our break, but we couldnt wait to go elsewhere. If we had known this prior then we would have booked elsewhere as after travelling we really wanted a chill time

Well, I don’t know if this is a fair review or not because I never got to actually stay here. The stay got booked for the wrong dates. When I realized this I tried multiple times to reach out to the property. Expedia also tried to reach out to help with a refund, but the hotel refused. Mind you I was never contacted or responded to by this property in anyway. I rebooked the stay for the correct dates, and reached out to see if the room could be upgraded since we payed for a stay we never got. I can’t say I’m super excited to stay here. But maybe they could upgrade our stay in February in some way since they got $500 of our money, for no service. Who knows. We shall see….

Right on the beach and if you book the beachfront, then the water is right at your door!
Down side is it is very expensive and for that price, you would expect better facilities.
1 room had aircon that didn't work. The other thing is the restaurant was under renovations. So for breakfast, they give a voucher to go to another restaurant which is fine. The problem is the restaurant doesn't seem very happy to serve people with the breakfast voucher. They also tell you that coffee is not included in the breakfast and that it costs 100 baht which is insane. Especially when you are paying premium price for the rooms.

Great location. Right on the beach. No beach chairs or tables available in front of the hotel. You sit on the beach or nothing.
Hotel restaurant was closed and under renovation. Bed was very comfortable with great pillows and sheets. Room was a little small but nice and comfortable.
Reception staff was pleasant and helpful.
We had one small problem with our stay. The cleaners decided to throw in the garbage my cold pizza (in the pizza box) and my ashtray with a joint in it.
There are many options when staying on Koh Tao so we will choose another hotel on our next visit.

Ocean st your doorstep
Strong wifi, comfortable bedding, all the toiletries and friendly service on top of being literally steps away from the water. Location was incredible with easy access to good food and services. Again, steps away from the ocean!
