Ko Tao Resort Paradise Zone

Very nice hotel with great views. The stuff was super friendly and helpful. We had a great time there.

Lovely quiet resort with exceptional views. Great pool, overlooking the two bays. Restaurant was a bit pricey, and mediocre, but Su was a very wonderful server. Front desk was very efficient and sorted an early check-in. Ploy at front desk went above and beyond to help us out, very appreciated. Would definitely stay again.

Don’t tell me you have been to Koh Tao and never stayed in Paradise Zone. I spent the wonderful time here. The location is amazing, you can see both sunrise and sunset. My room was with sea view which I can see Shark Bay, and I enjoyed the sunrise right out of my window. After chilling at beautiful infinity pool, I enjoyed the sunset shined on my face. Oh , I love the vegetable spring rolls from hotel restaurant, thin crust and crispy! Yummy! The most important, the service is great and staffs are helpful and friendly. The room is very clean and bed sheet is comfortable. I really want to extend my stays …but they are fully booked. Maybe you reserve quick and in advance. Highly recommended! If I come back Koh Tao, I’ll only stay in Ko Tao Resort-Paradise zone.

We booked for a week, then extended for three more nights. The room was big, comfy, interesting. Unbeatable views, relaxing pool with bar service and casual lounge like music. The best part is we took a snorkeling tour (We Travel 600 baht) and found out the best Doral is directly Infront of this hotel. Swim to Freedom beach, snorkel the floating rope area for amazing fish and decent coral. We saw a turtle twice, one day before noon and the other about 1:30 pm. Restaurant is priced right, serves decent portions and never disappointed. We hope to return again one day and I suggest you book this room.

The Paradise Koh Tao Resort I was saying to my daughter how, for me, a 5 star hotel is not just about the quality of the room or building or the food or even the staff. It’s about the overall experience. Value for money, comfort, fun. We were met at the pier with our cases carried for us to a songthaews. We were met at the grand hotel by Koko who explained that there was a power cut. No electricity but he was smiling and so sincere it was not a problem for us. We were walked to our room by Koko and a colleague. They carried our cases. The room was just being finished with cleaning and we went into the massive room with a double and single bed. No AC because of power cut. It was funny with Koko explaining to us how it worked without being able to show us. My daughter and I then went to the pool which was absolutely amazing. We had the whole pool to ourselves for the afternoon. An elderly Thai couple came and we took some pictures for them. Then a German (or South African) couple. The pool and area was big enough that we weren’t in each others way. Able to relax, peace and have fun. We then ordered some ice cream and when the electricity came on we then ordered lunch; an omelette, a coconut chicken soup and red curry. It was absolutely delicious! (About 600BAHT). My daughter then showered and I had a bath on the balcony! Yes, a bath on the balcony, Bubbles bowing down the street. it was amazing! We then went down to the lobby and were driven free of charge into Koh Tao. We had a wonderful time in Koh Tao which is really alive again since covid. We then paid 500B for a cab back. We slept in the beautiful air conditioned room. The following morning we had breakfast (250B each) and were served again by Su (who was always helpful and smiling). There were other staff members (Myanmar) we didn’t get their names but thank you to them as well. Everyone was smiling, friendly, trying their best and running around for us. We then went on a snorkelling tour and when we came back went to our room which had been spotlessly cleaned with fresh towels etc. We then showered and went for dinner inside the restaurant because it was raining outside. For dinner we had Ka Pow (prawns/basil). Red Curry. Sweet and Sour Pork, coconut chicken soup (again). 4 drinks. It cost 870 Baht. The food at this place was probably the best of our entire trip. Unbelievably tasty I wanted to thank the chef. We then went and played a game of pool in the bar and then went back to the room and fell instantly asleep. The following morning a songthaews had been arranged for 8am to take us to the pier. The end! So, the night before we are at Suranthiya Koh Phangan and they are very similar. Only Suranthiya is about £350 per night and this place was about £40. I think in the 1990’s/2000’s this was Koh Tao’s Suranthiya. The place is a little bit old and weathered but it’s grand and fascinating with incredible view points and obvious history. The ambi

Koh Tao resort paradise zone was amazing! They offer a free shuttle ride from the pier to the resort, which is an added bonus. The ladies on reception were absolutely lovely; always smiling and saying hello. They were very helpful when I needed to contact an airline, they let me use their phone free of charge for over an hour! The serving staff at the restaurant are lovely and very professional. The menu is lovely & the drinks are fab (best mojito I’ve found on Koh Tao, and I’ve had a few….!). Our room was lovely, with a nice balcony. The cleaning crew would come everyday, in and out in 2 minutes and leave the place spotless. Shoutout to the barman! We absolutely loved the barman, a quiet man but absolutely lovely. He put up with me constantly losing at pool very well! All in all we had a fabulous stay and the staff are all so lovely & welcoming. For a hotel resort, they really make you feel at home. We’ll be back! Thanks guys Poppy & Jordan x

As always the Thai hospitality is second to none. The staff was nice, professional and helpful. The views and the pool were excellent. The negatives - the hotel is an hour walk from the Pier and “nightlife” area. They do offer a one way shuttle for 100 baht per person. We had an issue with ants a couple nights. One night my daughter got several bites in the restaurant that bothered her for several days. The restaurant and bar drinks are sub par, I would give 1 star for food and drink. (Which I feel bad saying because the staff is so nice). I will find another hotel the next time I am there.

The view, the shuttle, the food, they have a great chef, the customer service, clean, ideal for families and couples.

Amazing views, terrific snorkeling nearby, huge comfy room, decent - well priced restaurant on site. Only negative was the on and off wifi. Otherwise, perfect. Book it.
