    Comfortable, peaceful but difficult to swim or snorkel in the sea, the 2 main things that were most important to us.

    The shower head was broken … but am sure they will fix that pronto. You couldn’t really swim in the sea unless it is high tide, and even then you have to walk out quite a way before it was deep enough. That didn’t bother me as we got transport to other beaches where you could swim and snorkel, both of which were important for us … but it is an additional expense and hassle.

    Very clean and very comfortable. Bootiful views. It was easy to walk into the busier parts where you had a choice of food, bars, but without the noise and hassle and it was very peaceful.

    Beautiful property situated right on the beach! The rooms were well equipped and spotless, and only a short 50 yards from the sand. They had a lovely small bar with an excellent barman who made good cocktails, which was perfect with the view. The staff also helped me organise a snorkelling trip and our ferries which was handy. The resort was a short 10 min walk from the busy area of Sairee which is great too.

    The two rooms/beach huts we rented were standard and deluxe, but the standard one had a very odd bathroom arrangement where to sit on the toilet your feet were in the end of the shower which didn’t drain water properly so felt a bit yuck. I think the attitude of the ladies at the desk wasn’t lovely. In three weeks and 8 hotels travelling around Thailand the two sisters at this Hotel had really grumpy attitudes. I think the small things really make the difference. Most of the other hotels on the island do a free pick up and drop off to the pier but this hotel charged 400bht which was expensive for a 7 min open back truck ride, and set the tone. The only thing the lady at the desk really said on check in was you should have booked direct, which means we don’t get the free breakfast. Just two things which left a bad taste in our mouths after meeting beautiful friendly people elsewhere.

    Amazing location on the quiet end of Sairee Beach. The properties we rented were both clean, one was beautifully modern.

    The rooms could have been a bit cleaned. The reception is only open until 5pm, but for us it wasn’t a problem.

    Very good resort for this price. We were staying in a Superior Villa which was very nice, we had a big terrace, the bathroom was also excellent. They cleaned every day and brought us fresh water. The location is perfect, bit further from the noise but still walk-distance to the centre. The bed was comfortable and spacious.

    Quiet end beach, not far to walk in restaurants and bars. In our group we had 3 different types of room. The superior and deluxe were good rooms, the standard was disappointing. Staff helpful and booked us taxis and a trip. Would recommend the snorkelling trip with Oxygen, max 25 people. Bit more expensive but worth it.

    Quite expensive accommodation as the bungalows would need a little touch up, especially the toilets. Bungalows also looks lot bigger in pictures, there’s not lot of space for luggages or toiletries.

    It’s right on the beach and in the calm side of Sairee Beach, yet still walkable.

    Restaurant needed some improvement in the catering side

    The lady in reception who I think was the owner was extremely helpful. If you needed anything then she sorted it for you. We had a Delux Villa Room and it was decent size, very comfortable and was cleaned to a good standard each day. Breakfast was not included in price of the room. It was extra. We did have breakfast there a couple of times. It could be improved greatly. Would definitely go back again.

    Waiter in the hotel restaurant is not nice - first unkind Thai I have ever met…Food in the restaurant is weak but nearby you can find better places to eat.

    Nice and clean villa at the end of the sairee beach, but dont expect beach in paradise style. Very helpful Lady at the reception (mostly only person who can speak with you and understand) who can arrange transfers to the pier or wherever you wish.

    The rooms were in need of some serious renovation. Lots of the bits in the bathroom especially were hanging on by a thread and seemed very fragile. There was also notable gaps between door frames and windows so we had a few lizards come into the room, which is fine but it was more so an issue for the noise outside. The shower area was also not very functional (see photos) the wooden boarded area as flooded every time we showered, consequently flooding the whole bathroom. Some of the staff weren’t always very polite, this was half and half some staff were also lovely but they were not all always very useful or kind. A big factor in the low comfort rating was that they had purposefully welded the key to the electricity card, meaning that you could not keep the Air conditioning on when out of the room this was quite upsetting given it was not a cheap stay and we felt we should have been able to control the air on as we pleased, especially given the bad insulation of the room as it was actually hotter in there than outside! When asking for a spare key given we were in 2 they said they could not give us one.

    Location was amazing, walking distance to the main part of Koh Tao but far away enough that y was nice and quiet. We were also able to rent a moped from the hotel which was very easy and the same price roughly as elsewhere. Breakfast and lunch was not included but very nice food
