Categories

Cleanliness
7.5
Mixed reports on housekeeping: some guests noted light/insufficient cleaning on longer stays and very worn towels; other guests did not mention cleanliness positively.
Service
9.5
Mostly excellent service: multiple guests praised warm welcomes, attentive staff, personalized help (packed/early breakfasts, shuttle service). One strong negative report about a rude front desk manager is noted but outweighed by many positive service experiences.
Location
9.5
Frequently praised: great sea views and nature, short scooter ride or ~10-minute walk to lively center; some rooms are higher up which involves hills, but location considered ideal by many.
Room Quality
9
Rooms described as lovely by many (balcony doors onto pool, private pool options, large/pleasant rooms) though one review mentioned low maintenance in some rooms.
Amenities
8.5
Good amenities including on-site dive club, pools (including private pool rooms), scooter rental and shuttle; however reports of pool being broken or occupied by an external dive school and some maintenance issues reduce the score slightly.
Value for Money
9.5
Multiple guests highlighted excellent value (price very favorable compared to home country) and felt the stay was great value despite a few maintenance/service issues.
Food and Beverage
8.9
Limited mentions but generally positive: breakfast accommodations praised (staff provided packed/early breakfasts when needed); no major food complaints recorded.
Overall Experience
8
Generally very positive experiences for many guests (highlight of trips, excellent staff, great views and location), but some serious negatives reported (rude front desk, maintenance and pool issues) lead to a slightly tempered overall score.

Pros:

onze kamer, prachtig uitzicht ook
het ontbijt
de jongens die met je rondrijden (naar de kamer, strand, haven, stadje,…)

Cons:

de check-in was niet zo hartelijk naar Thaise gewoonte, misschien lag het aan de taal
het zwembad is klein, vuil en verouderd

Pros:

Unfortunately, upon our arrival, the accommodation did not meet our expectations due to several issues, and we relocated to another resort.

Cons:

The rooms were neither practical nor comfortable. With windows on three sides, they turned into actual saunas. The sunbeds on the terrace were torn, and the toilet had transparent glass walls and doors, providing absolutely zero privacy. On top of that, getting to the rooms was a massive hike unless you used the golf cart. This place is nowhere near a four-star resort.

Personnel parfois méprisant et peu agréable, image de l’hôtel par intelligence artificielle, il n’y a pas de palmiers au
Pros:

- chambre : super
- petit déjeuner

Cons:

- personnel : pas très chaleureux, ils vous rigolent au nez, premier fois sur ce 4ieme voyage que je suis déçu par un service en thaillande.
Ils font tout pour gagner de l’argent, pour 50 TBH on vous prend la tête, ce n’est pas agréable.
Également pour le service, notamment pour le ménage, ce qui est un grand classique de l’hôtellerie, c’est à vous de vous manifester pour qu’on s’occupe de votre chambre, cela devrait être automatique.
- transport : ils ne considèrent pas les voyages retours gratuit avec la navette. C’est à dire que si il y a un aller à 13h, il arrivera à destination à 13h05, et devra revenir à l’hôtel ce qui est logique, néanmoins ils ne remontent personne.
- promesse de vente : un hôtel entouré de palmier… en photo ! Quand vous arrivez sur le lieu, vous voyez que ce n’est pas le cas, alors vous regardez avec attention les photos sur le site, et vous vous apercevez que c’est de l’IA.

Heerlijk verblijf, mooie kamer en mooi uitzicht
Pros:

Een super mooie accommodatie; schoon, netjes, mooi uitzicht en mooie kamers.

Cons:

De accommodatie ligt wat hoger op een berg en ze bieden wel een shuttle service aan naar het dichtstbijzijnde strand, maar wel om bepaalde tijden. Vaak moet je dus alsnog omhoog lopen (of een dure taxi aanhouden).

Beautiful resort, perfectly located!!
Pros:

We truly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful resort! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and given a quick tour, which was very helpful since the resort is quite large.

Our bungalow was located higher up and therefore a bit further from the reception, but we were conveniently taken there by ‘golf cart’ upon arrival. The distance was absolutely not an issue for us, as we were able to rent a scooter directly at the resort and drive all the way up to our bungalow and park it there, which was super convenient.

We also had a stunning view of the sea and the beautiful surrounding nature. The location was perfect for us as well — just a short scooter ride downhill and we were right in the lively center.

Definitely highly recommended!

Amazing stay! Would definitely come back!
Pros:

Gorgeous hotel! Room was amazing with balcony doors straight onto the pool

Cons:

Massive hills to get to your room. Wish the hills weren’t so steep but I suppose all of koh Tao was like this.
