Heel leuk verblijf, genoten van de ruime kamer met ruim terras. we komen nog terug!
Pros:

Wij waren heel blij dat het hotel zich niet in de drukte van Ko Tao bevond. Je hebt een brommer nodig als je iets wil zien. Heel mooie ligging van de kamers, veel privacy, groot terras. Er van genoten.
Uitgebreid ontbijt, een eggstation was aangenaam geweest, personeel was aanwezig op die plaats. Verschillende bereidingen van ei in bakken.

Cons:

Er komt veel volk van buiten hotel naar strand, stukje op ene strand enkel voor gasten... andere strand is van rond middag superdruk.
De badkamer zou zeker een nieuwe douchekop mogen hebben, badkamergordijn ging op 1 kant los naar beneden.
Waterkoker was stuk, ze geloofden eerst niet aan de receptie, dan een nieuwe gekregen.

Lovely stay
Pros:

The location is absolutely stunning. Waking up to ocean views from our balcony every day was incredible.

The highlight of our stay was without a doubt the hotel’s private beach. It was absolutely beautiful and, in our opinion, the best beach on Koh Tao.

Cons:

The staff were friendly, and the service was generally okay. One area that could be improved was the breakfast, which felt a bit underwhelming. The selection was fairly limited, and the fruit and yogurt were not kept cooled. The food in the hotel in general wasn’t anything special.

The hotel is situated down a very steep hill, so I would definitely recommend renting a scooter unless you enjoy a good workout. Be prepared for quite a few stairs and hills throughout the property as well.

Pros:

Stunning location with access to two private beaches, worth checking out both (other tourists visit via bikes and pay for entry, there are sunbeds reserved for hotel guests only). I think our room had the best view?!

One of the best breakfast buffets, loads to choose from, real fruit juice not just concentrated cordial.

Shark bay is a short but steep walk away. Go to the free access bar, nice vibe. DON'T STAND ON THE CORALS!

Cons:

It is a very big resort, lots of rooms up and down stairs. If you have mobility issues and need a room close to the beach / reception let them know.

The associated beach bars are pretty expensive and the food is not the best. It's a 15min steep walk to get to other bars and restaurants which are still expensive unless you get off the bench.

The beaches are pretty shallow, you need a snorkel and mask if you want to swim over the corals. DON'T STAND ON THE CORALS!

J’y retournerai pour la vue.
Pros:

La vue sur la plage depuis la chambre était tout simplement magnifique. Avec une belle terrasse. Une vue magnifique depuis le lit également, c’était agréable de se réveiller sur un si beau paysage. La plage était également très bien.

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner mériterait d’être amélioré. Il y avait des œufs durs, omelettes, œufs brouillés, pain, fruits, une sorte de yaourt ainsi que plusieurs plats thaï. Mais c’était juste ordinaire. Pour la chambre, elle était confortable dans l’ensemble.

חוויה מדהימה מול נוף מרהיב ביופיו
Pros:

נוף מרהיב מהחדר. החדר קטן אבל נוח נקי מיטה מעולה . שקט צוות נעים חויה מאוד מיוחדת.

Cons:

הגישה למקום מאתגרת המון מדרגות לא מתאים לכל אחד. החוף די רדוד (אבל בסביבה יש חופים עמוקים יותר שמתאימים לצלילה.)

Pros:

Loved this quiet end of the island and the private beach is amazing. Gorgeous waterfront views

Cons:

You need a scooter really and the hill is insane so need to be confident!

Absolutely avoid this place!
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The sheets and towels were unbelievably dirty and smelled terrible. There were broken glass pieces left on the floor and balcony of our room. The staff never greeted guests and were completely unhelpful. At night there was no security on the beach side of the hotel, and we were so scared that we pushed our suitcase behind the door before going to sleep.

The food was both tasteless and had serious hygiene issues. When we pointed out a cat walking on top of vegetables in the kitchen area, the staff simply turned their heads and ignored us. The next morning we had to carry our own suitcases up a very steep hill to catch the boat. When the driver arrived, he didn’t even say “good morning” or “hello.” We greeted him first and received no response at all.

The breakfast was awful. This was, without question, the worst place I have ever stayed in my life. We ended our holiday early and escaped back to the city.

Traumhafter Urlaub
Pros:

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt im Koh Tao Relax sehr genossen, sodass wir länger geblieben sind als geplant. Aus unserem Bungalow hatten wir Blick auf die Bucht des Freedom Beachs. Einfach traumhaft!
Der Bungalow wurde täglich sauber gemacht. Das Personal war super freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Um die Insel zu Erkunden benötigt man einen Roller. Fußläufig kann man den Shark Bay, Aussichtspunkte und ein paar nette Restaurants erreichen.

Cons:

Es wäre schön gewesen, wenn das Frühstück ein wenig mehr Auswahl gehabt hätte. Es gibt sehr viel herzhaftes Thai Essen.

Pros:

Rooms are great, beautiful views, clean, well maintained

Cons:

No vibe, restaurants empty at night and in the day, no choice as you isolated, this is a place you need transport. Beaches are beautiful, but cannot really swim from them, coral reef is shallow, lacks a swimming pool, and a focus point.
