Hotel di Teluk Jansom / Pantai Sai Nuan, Koh Tao

What a great place to stay on Koh Tao. Our bungalow was perfect for island living. Only complaint was the lack of a chair to sit at the desk with (just used a night stand). Two nice pools built into the natural landscape. “Tom” the concierge was very helpful in all matters. Thanks Tom. Breakfast was mostly western and might I add their bacon was amazing. We extended three days after the first three went too fast.

The service at the Tarna Align resort is impeccable. They keep you in touch via Whatsapp and are incredibly welcoming and helpful. Golf buggies take you anywhere you want to go into Sairee and then bigger vans for the pier. They provide good amenities eg toothpaste. We stayed in a Villa Sea View room which had absolutely stunning views and a great balcony. It was a short trip into Sairee for walks in the day or for night time activities. The only downside was the room. 1. It was incredibly dark with all the lights on at night with no option to have brighter lights on. 2. The bedside table is a small floating shelf next to the bed and sloped downwards so in the night things would fall off onto the floor. 3. The only way to control lighting and air con was by a panel on one side of the bed which meant if one person fell asleep the other person had to try and get out to get to the panel. 4. Beware of the glass door to the toilet- we both walked into it and bruised ourselves as it was so clean and see through. Could benefit from stickers on it to prevent this. 5. The fridge is right behind the bed and very noisy so we had to unplug it at night to sleep

So glad I found this place amongst all the overpriced and not so great quality accommodations in Koh Tao. The staffs are friendly and super kind. Walk in rate can be cheaper than booking on OTA but this place is getting more popular hence I would recommend you to book in advance during high seasons. Bike rentals are available right at the hotel for 200 THB per day (same price with most of other rentals in KT, and their bikes are well kept). Their coffee shop has everything with good prices (coffee, coconut juice, smoothies). Food menu look promising and good price, also apply for in-room dining. The place is cover in greenery happy plants. Facilities such as pool is amazing, brand new looking. Public toilet always so clean. Small gym, reading room and a pool table. Overall, I enjoyed my stay here so much. Big room, big toilet with full amenities, comfy bed/pillows, very clean (daily housekeeping do a great job). If you are a diver, this place is so ideal for your stay. Big balcony came with big dry rack to hang all your diving stuffs. My standard room came with a big fridge, dish rack, separate kitchen sink and refill new water bottles on the daily. Location is 10mins walk to Sairee Beach. It's a nice walk down also with many shops (laundry 40thb/kg, supermarket, convenient store, food vendors, bar, hair salon, nails shop, rental diving gears, dive shops, etc. Pick up and drop off at the pier upon check in/out are complimentary. There's a 995 Duck Shop near by and highly recommend. The hotel does not come with an ocean/beach view but you get the most for everything else at a 3-4 stars property value. Plus, it is safe and fully equipped with CCTV. Highly recommend!

Beautiful room which was outside and with stunning views of the bay. Snorkelling was good there too. Be mindful of steps - there are a lot and they killed my legs off but was a sacrifice for the view. Could do with more fans and one of the fans the wire was broken so unable to use it. Also, would be a good idea to put the fridge on before customers get there so the fridge is actually cool.

Kind on the pocket...Sairee Sairee Guest House is clean, basic, affordable accommodation, simply decorated in a contemporary industrial style. The room is adequately appointed with everything you need including both a/c and ceiling fan, television, safe, ensuite bathroom with shower gel and shampoo; and there's a little verandah on which to chill. It's not luxury, but it's perfect.....comfortable and spacious and excellent value. We stayed for over a week and we were very happy there, slept well and would definitely stay there again. The location is perfect, close to the beach, popular eating spots, bars, pharmacy, 7-Eleven, grocery stores, clothing boutiques, tattoo shops, mo-ped hire etc. There is an onsite restaurant. It's not the cheapest in town but not very expensive. We ate there on our last night and we were super impressed with the food. They also do a good cup of tea, especially when paired with their chocolate brownie....a winner after hiking the steep hills of the island. The owners were just lovely and the staff all very friendly and helpful. Definitely a winner!!!

It's a nice hotel but unfortunately it's extraordinarily loud even if you stay in a room opposite the bar street. If you like to party and don't mind the noise it can work, but if you need quiet then this is a place to avoid.
