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.

War eine Enttäuschung
Pros:

Die lange, aber das war es auch

Cons:

Vieles!
Personal unfreundlich.
Zimmer war nicht wie angegeben.
Im Frühstücksbereich hat es nach Klo gestunken.
Preis Leistung war schlecht.
In Koh Phangan waren wir im Cocohut Resort fürs Gleis Geld… das war Luxus Pur und das hier auf Koh Tao war dagegen echt unterirdisch.

Pros:

The accommodation is outstanding. A house with a phenomenal view of the sea and the sunset. The hotel has two beaches. One that has been cleared of coral with a sandy, shallow entry into the sea, suitable for children. Another one with wonderful shade at the beach and phenomenal for snorkling. A wonderful and diverse underwater world, where you can swim with turtles every day. On both beaches there are restaurants with delicious and cheap food. An excellent breakfast was included in the price.

Perfekt!
Pros:

Das Frühstück hat alles was das Herz begehrt, außer man möchte Wurst haben ;)
Sonst die leckersten Bananen Pancakes!!!

Die Aussicht vom Zimmer (Haus im Berg Nr. 24) ist Atemberaubend!! Vorallem die Sonnenuntergänge.

Wer keinen Roller fahren möchte, ist bei dieser Unterkunft falsch. Sie liegt am Ende der Insel auf einem Berg.
Man kann zufuß in den Ort dort gibt es alles. Jedoch steil zum gehen!

Für uns mit Roller war es aber die perfekte Unterkunft.

Cons:

Man hört wirklich alles im Haus, da es nur Holzwände sind.
Das kehren in der Früh, nebenan. Leute die vorbeigehen und jedes Tier ;)
Wenn man einen schlechten Schlaf hat, kann man schon mal vom gehüpfe der Eichhörnchen am Dach aufwachen.
