Top 10 Resorts in Koh Tao, Thailand

May 12, 2023 Lashaunda Abraham

Drifting serenely in the Gulf of Thailand, the palm-fringed island of Ko Tao takes its name from the abundant sea turtles that reside on its shores. White sand beaches sheltered by steep hills – some only accessible with four-wheel drive vehicles – and 300 days of sun per year invite long afternoons of lounging.

Beautiful Hotel!!

Reviewed By michaelcK7587PL

I would definitely recommend this hotel. From start to finish all staff were so friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel isn't bad but be prepared to get a taxi everywhere... it's quite remote. Our suite was lovely and had it's own infinity pool. Unfortunately the hotel was very quiet with only a few guests... this obviously isn't their fault as tourism still hasn't recovered fully from Covid. Hopefully in the coming months it will get busier. Note: There are a lot of stairs between rooms, reception, pool, restaurant etc. so take this into consideration. It's not easy in the baking heat. We will definitely return and would love to stay here again. Thanks

Awesome experience! Friendly, beautiful, amazing views, close to restaurants and dive shop, great service. What more could we ask for? We stayed in an oceanfront room with the most gorgeous sunset view from our balcony. Hot shower was so good after a day of diving. The bed was soft and soo comfy. Loved it and will definitely be back!

Clean, well furnished, right on the beach! Such a beautiful location and a great attached restaurant with lovely staff. Rented scooters which were in good condition and allowed us to see the whole island easily! The room was cleaned every day and had plenty of space. Was lively in the neighbourhood but nice and quiet in the room.

Coral View Resort

A short but relaxing stay

Reviewed By Hom1991

We came to Coral View on recommendation from a friend for diving. We stayed in one of the sea view chalets. It’s a simple accommodations with comfortable bed, A/C and shower. We were given water daily and fresh towels. Breakfast was again simple, a choice of eggs, pancakes or chicken rice. All served with a plate of fresh fruits. The beach and beach bar was beautiful. We ate some great Thai food at the beach bar for lunch and dinner after diving. Cocktails were good, coconuts even better. Plenty of snorkelling to be done at the beach. The staff are lovely and accommodating. There is a shuttle service into town, which you can contact via Line/WhatsApp to be collected. We didn’t hire a scooter as it’s very steep to get to the hotel and the shuttle was very convenient. They also arranged for some ladies to come to the resort for a Thai massage, which was very good and comparable to prices on the rest of the island. We had a very relaxing time at Coral View, it’s a very simple accommodation but fair for the price. Our only suggestions would be to install a mosquito screen on the doors and to have a small soap dish by the sink in the bathroom. Thank you - we will recommend you to our friends in Thailand

Nice hotel, bad customer service

Reviewed By ZarazWracam

I spent 6 nights at the hotel and kept wondering why the place doesn’t have better reviews. Big rooms, large windows, terrace with a beautiful view and well maintained swimming pools just in front of the beach. I believe the answer is the customer service. It is below the regular standard. I bought a ticket for a night boat that was leaving at 9pm. I bought it at the reception. It was raining heavily on the day of my departure. The hotel was almost completely empty. I asked for a late checkout and guess what? The answer was no! I was asked to either pay 100 baht for every additional hour or to cover the whole night stay. You would think it’s because they had to clean the room immediately after the checkout? No, many rooms on my floor were still not cleaned from the previous night so that’s not the case. I’m almost sure my room would get cleaned the following day but I had to leave it anyway and spend the rainy day with my luggage stored at the reception. I’m still astonished.

Not bad but not excellent

Reviewed By ThomasK7326

The hotel is far from everything, and the reception from the room is about 1km and small way to get until the room. About the room: beautiful spot, snorkelling beach at 200 m. Breakfast is good! A lot of variety. A bad thing about the hotel is that it looks like old and abandoned.
