    The uneven and steep paths to the room are a safety hazard.

    The room was comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was good and plentiful. Location on the beach was good.

    The breakfast was a bit disappointing. Buffet was not replenished very well, often ran out of cutlery, glasses and food in general, even though it’s only a small restaurant with what felt plenty of staff. Also lacking in shade on the outside terrace, which meant it was a bit uncomfortable (there were some mornings where there were no tables free inside so we didn’t have any other choice). Menu sounded nice but food ordered together often arrived 15-20 mins apart and when it did arrive it wasn’t all that great .. one morning my partner got his with a cheese slice still in the plastic wrapping! This didn’t detract from our enjoyment of the holiday though, we found it amusing more than anything!

    Beautiful cabanas in a fantastic location at the end of Sairee beach. The surroundings were lovely, felt very much part of nature with the semi open air bathroom, even had a visiting gecko one eve. The cabanas were huge and luxurious, very unique and the aircon packed a punch. Nice touch that the room had lots of complimentary water, soft drinks and snacks (which were replenished every day) and we even got a WhatsApp to double check if we’d like our room cleaned because we hadn’t hung the sign of the gate. Pool was a good size for the kids and nice and quiet. Really loved our stay here, right on the beach within minutes of everything Koh Tao has to offer but still felt private.

    The view from ocean view cottage was exceptional. Nice to have water and snacks added to minibar daily. Travel to the other bays even if water looks choppy, it’s calm the other side. Cost hundreds of pounds more to add a bed for our 13 year old which was disappointing but other than that it’s beautiful.

    The unfortunate geographic cove seems to catch music from one club from right across the bay. It is so strange because you can't really hear it anywhere else. It certainly didn't stop all 7 of us from sleeping well, but it is worth noting.

    it is is an unbelievably beautiful setting, and the gardens are spectacular. The bungalows we stayed in were so well designed to blend into the jungle landscape. A few things to note when considering booking here (these are not problems, just things people like to know about a place) - it's a great beach to swim in at high tide, but not great at low tide. Still fantastic to laze around all day long. - the front office staff can arrange everything for you and at very reasonable rates (scooters, boats, taxis, there is no crazy hotel markup) - the minibars are super generous and free, and restocked daily - it's a good base to explore some other beaches for superb snorkeling by scooter or taxi - the restaurant was okay but not amazing. Getting to the main area with all the restaurants is a good 20 minute beach walk or a 5 minute taxi - I've seen a lot of reviews saying that the staff are not helpful, but they really are. - We were a big group of 7 from ages. 9 - 78 and we were all happy

    Could have done with a beach bar!

    Absolutely loved Koh Tao Cabanas! Beautiful lodges with really comfy beds and a luxury rustic feel! We had the honeymoon suite which had a fantastic view and its own mini pool too! Loved the location, only 5 minute walk down the beach to main area - great for sunset drinks. Staff were so helpful and friendly as was everyone on the island that we encountered. The restaurant is amazing and delicious food! Worth every penny

    Our main issue was the check-in process. When you know guests are arriving on the ferry, it’s reasonable to have the transfers and room keys ready. Unfortunately, we waited two hours from ferry to room, which was tough with three kids in tow. A smoother, more efficient welcome would make a big difference to the guest experience.

    We stayed in two villas at Koh Tao Cabana, which were beautiful and well-appointed—but on reflection, one larger villa with extra beds for the kids would have made more sense. It’s a pity this wasn’t suggested to us in advance, as it would’ve saved space and cost. Our main issue was the check-in process.

That said, the resort itself is lovely. The variety of villas, the beachfront setting, and the restaurant staff were all excellent. Breakfast was top class, and the pool and beach area are stunning—perfect for relaxing, snorkelling, and watching the sunset. Overall, the positives definitely outweigh the negatives, but we hope the team takes on board the feedback around check-in and booking advice. With those small improvements, this could be a truly seamless luxury stay.

    We stayed in the sunset cottage. The views were spectacular. The room was fabulous, as was the balcony with hammock and sunloungers. The cottage was spotless and cleaned every day. There was complimentary snacks and drinks in the fridge that were restocked every day. Breakfast was excellent, there was a wide selection of food in the buffet and also an a la carte menu that you could order from. Lots of coffee choices too! Service was excellent, staff were very attentive and helpful. The grounds are beautiful - there are a lot of trees and greenery and because of that some mosquitos - complimentary bug spray in the room was a nice touch! Pool and beach area are lovely - we always managed to get a lounger and it was never too busy.

    The pool are could have more sun chairs and umbrellas. We were not able to do any snorkeling due to the low tide. Probably wrong time of the month in relations to the moon. There were power outages a few days in a row.

    Close to the beach. Five minute walk to shops and restaurants. Borrowing snorkling gear for free. Friendly staff. Nice classic Thai style resort.

    Stunning barefoot luxe at end of lovely Sairee beach. Booked whitesand villa as while I would have loved outside bathroom my daughter gets awful reactions to mossie bites so went for indoor bathroom. Loved the little villa so stylish and comfy beds. Amazing views. Great pool. Short walk along beach to centre of Sairee but location was quiet. Good snorkelling from hotel, lovely views from restaurant (good breakfast). We also went diving at Big Blue. All really wonderful and enjoyable. I have to say I’ve seen a few reviews on other websites complaining that it’s not as luxe as koh samui. Koh tao is a different, much cooler, more laid back island. This place is what I’d call barefoot luxe - it’s fun, beautiful and has definitely been - Along with the island itself and the diving and snorkelling - the highlight of our trip.

    The food in the restaurant is not the best, and it is way overpriced. Eat in town. Be prepared for wildlife in the bathroom if you go for a cabin in the trees. Didn't bother us too much, but might not be everyone's cup of tea. Resort not for those with mobility issues

    Pool stunning. Lovely tropical grounds. Pretty beach, great location, about 10 minutes to walk into town along the beach. Breakfast was good, plentiful and varied. Free snacks, water, soft and got drinks in the rooms
