I just asked our 4-year old daughter what she liked best on Koh Tao, she said: - everything - that Lulu Belle (the owners' little daughter) lived next door - diving in the pool We found Baan Sawainam a super pleasant retreat from Koh Tao's beach scene. It's run by a very nice young New Zealand-German family (and some help... More

This is a good place to be close to all the action around Sairee beach, and yet far enough to be able to relax and get a good night's sleep (an essential criteria in our books....) The kitchen is handy for making tea/coffee, the room is equipped with fan and aircon,though we didn't need both simultaneously, it's kept nice and... More

Spacious, clean and tasteful accommodation. A short walk away from the hustle of Sairee Beach, these villas are in a quiet secluded area. The use of the private pool before breakfast or after a hot day is an added advantage. The owners, Jim and Andrea (English & German respectively), are so friendly and helpful with making any travel arrangements or... More

Baan Sawainam is just the perfect place to enjoy some quiet en relaxing time at Koh Tao. We booked both the two rooms so it felt like we had a private Villa. The rooms are clean and have airco.

The rooms are lovely, nice and large with A/c and fan, cleaned every day, there's a small swimming pool, and Andrea is... More
