We stayed for about a week (aug 2012). Great place for snorkeling and scuba diving. Even our youngest girl (9 yrs) tried scuba diving. Very good instructors. We stayed in a bungalow the first night which was okey for what we paid, but we upgraded to the hotel, a little bit more expensive but much better. Overall we had a... More

We stayed for 3 nights at Montalay in a bungalow. It is not the cheapest place to stay, but well worth the money. Montalay bay is very nice. Also, right of the beach, you can go snorkling. I got my scuba diving PADI at Montalay. Again, a bit more expensive than on the other side of the island, but the... More

We did our scuba open water diving training here and had a great experience. Our instructor Ad was wonderful and since it is a smaller place on the quieter side of the island, we were 1 of 2 groups of divers and felt like we had the place to ourselves. The hotel is in a gorgeous, secluded bay that has... More

Tanote bay is on the other side of the island from Sairee, so you have to hire a pick up truck taxi to go over the hill. The view on top of the hill on the way to the hotel from Sairee is very nice. The hotel is very secluded with a very nice beach. There aren't any restaurants, bars,... More

This hotel is in the most incredible location- five star! The beach is one of the nicest we have been too, with incredible snorkelling immediately off the beach - perfect for young children- flat calm water and thousands of incredible fish and coral on your doorstep. Our room was set in tropical forest and was clean with comfy beds (bathroom... More

I absolutely hate writing an average review and travel a lot but throughout my three weeks in Thailand this was the only place I would not return to or recommend. I was so excited about visiting Koh Tao and this experience out me off the island so we ended up leaving after three nights. It is very overpriced if you... More

This resort is located away from the busy part of the island. They offer a free pick up and a return to pier at minimal cost. The room was beautiful, big balcony and lovely bathroom. Never went to restaurant or pool so can't comment. The best thing about this place is the beach and sea. So quiet and private. Lovely... More

We had a bad start to our week's stay at this hotel as a dead lizard was in our tree house when we arrived and the stench was appaling, but they upgraded us to the main building at minimal cost, and we really liked the room. It was new, clean and had a great balcony, although the view is obstructed... More

I hate writing bad reviews, but hey this is the purpose of trip advisor right? We were disappointed with this establishment and left after 2 nights because the resort is over-priced, the staff are generally lazy and unfriendly, and the snorkling in the bay was not by any means out of the ordinary. It is in a quieter part of... More
