Cari Hotel dengan Balkoni di Koh Tao

What I liked: very comfortable Bed, nice View from the Balcony, quiet Place, relaxed, but small Pool, Breakfast was ok (apart from the Fruit Juices). What you should know: The Seaview Bungalows are located on a steep Hillside, so it´s quite sweatening to walk up there What I did not like: Wifi in my Bungalow (#701) was very weak and very slow so I had to use my SIM card (however other Guests didn´t have that Problem in their Bungalow, Bathroom without a Mirrow, makes shaving a tough Job. Some Guest will probably not like that the Toilet is in a Glasbox. The so-called Fruit Juices for Breakfast were really disgusting (Sugar and some chemical Stuff). Although the Resort was pretty empty, a late check-out at 2pm was not possible (they offered only 1pm)

It is a descriptive experience. It's quite difficult to put into words. You must try and experience it. with your own experience Beautiful view at the highest point of the island, good atmosphere, refreshing in nature, quiet, especially when the sun is setting. You can see from the pictures that it is beautiful. Come experience the real thing beyond description. Friendly staff The rooms are comfortable and spacious. The route to the resort is quite difficult, but the resort has a free pick-up and drop-off service. Additionally, going down to the city is available on a regular basis. As for going to the sea or swimming pool, it's quite far from the room. But the staff at the front informed that you can call for an internal shuttle service.

Unfortunately we were very disappointed with our stay here. The location of the hotel is amazing, on the beach along a very busy ***** of restaurants and beach bars which was great. However, the hotel itself was sadly a let down. The hotel keep whistling birds in cages just outside the hotel rooms so expect to be woken at all hours by birds whistling louder than we could believe. The room we were in was very basic to the point where the only plug socket was by the front door, so to dry my hair I had to stand at the front door with no mirror or chair… The shower was a fixed height (very low) so my partner had to be on his knees to wash his hair and I had to bend significantly despite not being very tall. The room was very dark with basically no natural light at all throughout the day. The bedding was just a thick blanket, that I imagine isn’t washed between guests, in between two loose sheets so the blanket kept coming out of the sheets. The toilet was very temperamental and wouldn’t always flush properly. One positive is that the air con was strong however to circulate the air we also had the fan on and this made an annoying screeching noise when it turned to a certain point, which again, woke us up during the night. We didn’t have breakfast because we had a look at what was on offer and decided to go elsewhere as there are lots of nice local places to eat. The staff also weren’t the most pleasant and even got our dates confused when we checked in. Sadly wouldn’t recommend this hotel.

The location is nice and quiet, walking distance to other restaurants through the beach. The beach is very nice, clean and good for kids especially when the tide is low. Our Cabana was spacious, beautiful, although a bit dark. The water pressure was low and we didn’t have hot water. We asked them to fix it but it didn’t happen on time before our check-out. We stayed for two nights. The pool has a waterfall, and it looks a little run down. Nice view to the sea from the pool, though. The breakfast (included) was ok. Fruits, bread, but not many options for vegetarian/vegans in the menu. Dinners were good. Overall, a beautiful hotel, kind staff, great location, maintenance response could be better.

We loved this place, the hotel is not far from the pier, we actually walked with children and managed it even in the heat, literally about 5-10 minutes, just turn right out of the pier and walk straight to the end of the road, its tucked away right at the end, fabulous spot. The room we had was amazing, big comfy bed for us, bunk bed for the kids, raised seated area, huge balcony and great bathroom, fridge, tv with cable channels, water, tea coffee provided, hairdryer, towels and room kept clean daily. The pool was a great size, you get towels from reception. The staff are all lovely and on hand to help with anything you need, we had breakfast included which was really good, continental selection, food to order (you can choose 2 items off a menu) and good tea/coffee machine and they have proper big mugs! we ate at the restaurant for lunch and once for dinner too and both times the food was lovely and really good value for money. If we ever return to Koh Tao this is definitely where we will stay again, highly recommend.

Ich kann das Hotel absolut nicht weiterempfehlen. Das Hotel war wohl 4 Jahre geschlossen und hat im Dezember 2023 neu aufgemacht. Es befindet sich in einem sehr schlechten Zustand. Die Zimmer sind veraltet, die Anlage verdreckt und immer noch im Bau. Überall fliegen Baumaterialen rum. Wir hatten erst keinen Küh Wir haben das Chalet/Bungalow gebucht. Das gebuchte Chalet mussten wir bei Ankunft sofort verlassen, da der Geruch sehr streng war. Die Dame im Hotel meinte, dass 1 Tag davor frisch gestrichen wurde. Hier frage ich mich warum man dies dann überhaupt den Gästen anbietet. Nachdem wir nach über einer Stunde warten ein Zimmer in einer niedrigen Kategorie bekommen haben wurden wir erneut negativ überrascht. Die Klimaanlage wurde nicht richtig kühl, es gab kein Kühlschrank im Zimmer, kein Safe, kein Föhn, keine Duschabtrennung im Bad. Die Ausstattung sehr alt. Der Fernseher funktioniert nicht. Es befinden sich keine Schränke im Zimmer um die Kleidung zu verstauen. Das einzelne Bett befindet sich direkt neben dem Doppelbett & nicht wie im Chalet gebucht separat mit einer Abtrennung im Raum. Auch die Hotelanlage ist grauenhaft. Alles befindet sich noch im Umbau. Dies wurde von booking leider nirgends vermerkt.Es laufen mehrere Bauarbeiter rum. Überall liegt Baumaterial. Die Anlage an sich ist sehr vermüllt. Genauso wie der Pool. Die Poolbar & das Restaurant leer. Es gibt keine Poolhandtücher. Genauso wie der Pool. Die Poolbar & das Restaurant leer. Es gibt keine Poolhandtücher. Das Frühstück ungenießbar. Nachdem wir dann eine Nacht im Hotel geschlafen haben wurden wir nach unserem Ausflug erneut negativ überrascht. Das Zimmer wurde nicht einmal gesäubert. Keine frischen Handtücher. Nach meiner Beschwerde kam dann eine Dame die unser Zimmer reinigen wollte. Das war dann nun leider zu spät da wir schon wieder los mussten. Die Mitarbeiter im Hotel sind zwar sehr nett, jedoch können sie uns bei den oben genannten Mängeln nicht weiterhelfen. Dieses Hotel entspricht maximal einem 1-2 Sterne Hotel & nicht wie bei booking beschrieben ein 4-Sterne Hotel. Die Renovierung müsste erst abgeschlossen werden bevor man dies Gästen anbieten.

I actually cried when we were leaving. We only stayed for 2 nights, but if we could we would stay a lot longer. I fell in love with the beach by this hotel. Just perfect, small, not crouded, clear blue water. We saw both a turtle and a shark (just a small kind one), so the snorkeling was also really good. You can rent snorkeling gear at the hotel. The staff was so kind and helpful, and made our stay complete. The room was clean, and really nice standard. Not in the middle of anything, which means you have to take tuk-tuk or motorcycle to get around, but still not far from restaurants and shops. Perfect and quiet. Would reccomend this to anyone going to Koh Tao. I loved it, and will come back for sure.

THE BEST HOSTEL I STAYED AT IN THAILAND. Apologies for shouting, but I had an incredible experience of staying in the Dearly hostel. Hostel/Dorms: I stayed for a week in a female dorm which I would recommend - sheets changed every 3 days, new towels available daily if needed, clean and nice smelling space, and comfortable beds that were not bunk beds. Modern and fresh decor with partitions between beds for more privacy. Such a simple and smart solution! Lovely and friendly cleaning ladies as well:)) The hostel itself surrounded by palm trees; I would definitely recommend to check out their common space on the 3rd floor (pictures attached). Shared Bathroom: clean, modern and nicely smelling bathrooms with shampoo and soap provided in the showers. Diving: I did the PADI open water course organised via dear hostel. As I was staying for a week the hostel offers a good deal for the accommodation combined with diving. The big advantage is a deep swimming pool at the hostel where you can practise diving skills before going into the open water. The swimming pool itself was great - they use salt instead of chlorine, which is both appreciated for the skin and hair. I would definitely recommend the diving instructor we had - Fam - who made us feel comfortable and ready to move from the swimming pool to open water diving. When speaking with other people staying in the hostel they also had a very positive experience with their diving instructors. Social: the hostel organised daily activities which were written on the blackboard in the lobby. I have not participated in many as I have been diving/studying for diving at the time, but it sounded like a good opportunity to meet other ppl. Personally, I made the most connections in my dorm bed and during breakfasts:) really great people and smiley faces with people wanting to be approachable. For partying we were going to the Sairee beach part of the island. This is not a party hard hostel, but it had a very good atmosphere of pre-drinks before going out and having a beer with some friends. Staff: very helpful, attentive and accommodating staff. Good email communication as well:) Breakfast: served 7-10 am; very useful to have it in the hostel when doing morning dives; everyday breakfast included toast, pancakes, fruit in coconut milk, and a rice/rice noodle dish. This was the first hostel breakfast I could eat in Thailand as I have food allergies and the rice/rice noodle dish was always very tasty. I recommended this hostel to three of my travel friends & all really enjoyed their stay here. For me, there is no other hostel alternative on Koh Tao ;) definitely will be back for another diving session! Thank you!

We had an awful experience at the Seashell dive centre attached to the hotel, and are now out of pocket for 22,000 baht for courses that we couldn’t complete due to the behaviour of the centre manager. We booked and paid upfront for a day of fun dives and 2 AOW courses. After an awful experience where I became very cold and sick on the fun dives due to poor weather conditions and inappropriate kit, we asked to be refunded for the AOW or to wait until conditions were calmer. The manager said that we could not be refunded but could wait for calmer conditions and we extended our time by another week in order to wait for things to calm down. However, the following day we popped into the centre and the managers attitude was completely different, he was rude and difficult and following some very unpleasant interactions with him over the following few days, we took the decision to not go forward with the course. One of the instructors who witnessed the managers behaviour apologised on his behalf giving the excuse that he was in a bad mood as had broken up with his girlfriend ! It was evident that once he had our money, that he had no interest in delivering our course or providing any level of customer care. On the fun dive, kit was poor, with a thin shorty wetsuit provided that was not suitable for the weather conditions, no boots, fins that were too small as they didn’t have any other sizes. Our instructor however was dressed in a full wetsuit and boots etc as said he tends to get cold. There was no provision of snorkels despite PADI guidance stating that these are an essential piece of safety equipment and no basic first aid care / procedures provided for cold, sick customers. When we asked for snorkels, we were told that they are unnecessary and just get in the way. The manager has refused to give his name and diver number despite repeated requests which raises further alarm bells and he ignored all initial emails and messages. Finally, we received a response whereby he said that we had booked onto the course on 3 occasions and not attended. This was completely untrue as no date had been set for us to do it at all. The hotel (who we paid for the course) have not responded to any emails or messages in relation to our complaint and couldn’t have been less interested when I raised it with the reception staff at checkout. My advice is that if you go to Seashell hotel, please AVOID the dive centre. You might be ok if everything is straightforward and you get a good instructor, but if there is a problem then don’t expect any level of care or compassion. We had travelled to Koh Tao to do some fun dives and complete our AOW courses. Our experience at seashell dive centre has ruined our trip to this island. After some detective work, we have established that the dive centre managers name is Hasan Can Toker . I wonder what his reasons for hiding this are ! Again, not the actions of a professional and transparent dive centre manager. As for the hot

This is three star, definitely not four star. The place is cheaply built and you will hear every (literally) every noise from whoever is in the next room to you. Beds are hard with cheap sheets, we had to ask for a couple more pillows as the ones in our room had seen better days. Be prepared to climb loads of steps if you aren't in a bungalow by the sea - none of the steps have hand rails and some are unstable. There is also an extremely steep entrance to the hotel - this wasn't an issue for me, but my husband has difficulty with his ankles and he found this very difficult. Cleanliness wise, it could do with some love around the pool areas, there were spilt drinks and litter where we were. We stayed for three nights and this was cleaned up while we were there. The beach is ok - like all beaches around this part of the world, there is some litter and paraphernalia lying around - but the snorkelling was some of the better snorkelling we did in Koh Tao. Sadly this too is showing the signs of too many tourists and boats, but this isn't the hotel's fault......
