    Perfect beachfront spot. Ocean view from the balcony.. super clean pool.

    Even-though we don’t usually ask hotels to make up our room every day, it would be good to have the option to request it when needed. At least changing bins every second day. We were staying for a week, and I had to grab the broom and take the bins out myself.

    7LindaPosted on: 3-27-2025

    Superb location

    There was a notice in room stating that rooms are cleaned every 3 days. I stayed for 16 nights and my room, room 20, was not cleaned once

    10SolusPosted on: 3-23-2025

    Check in and facilities , thank you to the receptionist who was lovely and had a nice accent

    5BiancaPosted on: 3-12-2025

    The location is great ?? really enjoyed living in that area. The staff was super sweet and welcoming.

    The bathroom was not very nice, had a very bad smell to it all the time. The toilet was “bobbeling” at night and even worse when raining. The bed was extremely hard and not very comfortable and even though we had AC in the room it was so loud we could keep it on at night. Even at the lowest fan speed. Would go again for diving and hang out place. But wouldn’t spend the night again to be honest.

    7ZeberliPosted on: 3-9-2025

    Good location, nice pool, restaurant and beach

    The dorms were okay the showers were pretty nasty, not only is the toilet also the shower the water also doesn't drain, so when you need to pee our feet get wet and it reeks at night

    10LisaPosted on: 3-9-2025

    Amazing place. Room big and lovely balcony overlooking the beach. TV with English speaking channels a bonus Restaurant adjacent was great value for money and the food was very tasty. Pool was perfect to lie by or cool off in

    That we couldn’t stay longer ?

    3OrenPosted on: 3-9-2025

    Location is in a more quiet area

    The reception- never there…Very unclean bathroom with smell from the toilet seat… Top bunk without curtains Room without general lightNo curtains to block the sun .

    7GregPosted on: 2-16-2025

    The dive centre was excellent, the pool was great, right next to the beach

    I’m not used to sleeping in dorms - the rooms privacy in dorm could be better

    10MichellePosted on: 2-7-2025

    Excellent location right on the beach with great views from our room and close to Restaurants. Shower gel and shampoo provided

    You had to lift toilet cistern lid up to flush toiletThe room wasn’t cleaned during our 6 night stayNo kettle in room

    5SarahPosted on: 1-22-2025

    Nice location and pool area

    It was honestly dirty, the bathroom floor was completely wet wen we arrived, a lot of mold.

    6JohannaPosted on: 1-12-2025

    It is difficult to give a rating for the whole resort. The diving school itself would definitely deserve 10 stars - the staff is super friendly, great teachers, professional lessons. Highly reccomend taking a course there! For the accommodation itself I would only give 2 stars. The location right by the sea and the free taxi transport from/to the harbor is great.

    Apart from the fact that the accommodation is old and there is a lack of cleanliness, the lack of maintenance of the equipment is a real problem. All ventilation and air conditioning units (we had 3 different rooms) are extremely moldy which is pretty harmful to health. The sink drains are also partially leaky or completely broken. It's a pity because with a little bit more efford and some renovations it could be such a nice place

    7JessicaPosted on: 1-3-2025

    Absolutely incredible place for the pool and the beach! Restaurant is very nice too and you get a discount. The staff were very friendly, especially the gentleman on the reception he was amazing!

    We stayed in a dorm room, however I would not recommend it at all. There are no curtains and ours was full of old men. The aircon barely works/ is on a high temperature all night and it gets turned off about 9am and the room is absolutely scorching. The location is amazing is it is right on the beach, however it is very far from the main area of Koh Tao and you will need a scooter.

    9CédricPosted on: 12-15-2024

    Very nice people and welcoming. Free transfer to the hotel when you arrive in Koh Tao I really appreciate the service. Good instructors if you’d like to Dive :)

    9MikePosted on: 12-6-2024

    We can’t speak highly enough of this place - it made our time in Koh Tao unforgettable. We decided to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Sairee Beach, and stay here to complete our Open Water diving course. After initially booking for 5 nights, we extended for another 4 nights to go on to complete our Advanced Divers course. Everything you need is right here, with great food at the on-site restaurant, but other food options and a 7-ELEVEn just down the road, and scooter hire, laundry, etc all close by. The staff (and doggos) are all great, with a special shout out to our dive instructor, Marco!

    We had to wait over an hour for the taxi pick up when we arrived, but this was down to a miscommunication. We were slightly disappointed not to get a late check out the day we left, especially after spending 9 nights here, and knowing the room was available, but nothing that would stop us from returning.

    8MateoPosted on: 10-28-2024

    It is next to the beach and has a good pool with sea view. The room is ok

    7HannaPosted on: 10-21-2024

    Nice location, good for families, the swimming pool was lovely (when it wasn’t being used by the divers !) they didn’t seem to mind my son playing around them though ! Nice friendly staff

    The rooms are abit dilapidated. Curtains hanging off and the mozzarella mesh door thing practically broken. The walls could do with some new paint and some areas of our room need replacing as parts either falling off or missing! Our room was right at the end and the WIFi was terrible ! Kept dropping out which was quite annoying

    1KieronPosted on: 10-21-2024

    Early check in.

    Damp mould in room. WiFi didn’t reach our room. The laundry stained our clothes. The guy who ran the place didn’t really care for customer service. Couldn’t borrow a knife for cutting a fruit from the restaurant. The only care for people diving.
