Hotel berhampiran Sabai Sabai Poshtel & Motorbike Rental, Koh Tao

Leider können wir die mehrheitlich positiven Bewertungen nicht Teilen, vor allem bei diesem Preis nicht! Wir wollten eigentlich 4 Nächte im Blue Tao Beach Hotel bleiben, aus diesen 4 Nächten sind wir aber nur 3 geblieben. Das Hotel bietet wirklich nicht was es verspricht. Sauberkeit: Als wir ankommen hatten wir ein kleines Willkommensgeschenk, also ja, das Geschenk waren verschiedene unidentifizierbare Flecken auf dem Bettlaken. Dazu war es im ganzen Zimmer feucht und die Handtücher haben extrem gestunken. Es wirkte, als das Zimmer nicht wirklich gereinigt wurde bevor wir angekommen sind. Frühstück: Das Frühstück ist im Hoteleigenen Restaurant. Man erhält pro Person und pro Frühstück ein Coupon. Der Coupon berechtigt jedoch nur für eine Speise, einen schwarzen Kaffee oder Tee und einen kleinen Orangensaft. Das Gericht reicht aber eigentlich nicht aus wenn man gestärkt in den Tag starten will. Das Frühstück ist geschmacklich OK aber nicht wahnsinnig vor allem bei diesem Preis vom Hotel ungenügend. Man würde erwarte, dass man verschiedene Speisen bestellen kann aber dies ist nur gegen Aufpreis möglich. Lärm: Das Hotel befindet sich im Zentrum, was völlig klar ist, dass man nicht mit absoluter Ruhe rechnen kann. Jedoch hat das Retsuarnte von 07.30 bis 00.00 sehr laute Musik, was dazu führt das man den Bass im Zimmer hört. Dazu kommt das das ganze Gebäude sehr ringhörig ist und man jeden Gast hört wenn er nach Hause kommt. Auch hört man die Wecker der anderen Zimmer und man hört sie sogar wenn sie im Zimmer miteinander reden. Freundlichkeit: Das Personal ist sehr unmotiviert und unfreundlich. Im Restaurant wirkt alles sehr umkoordiniert und teilweise wartet man sehr lange auf das essen. bei uns war es an einem Abend so, dass meine Partnerin das essen bereits hatte und mein Hauptgericht kam 20 Minuten später, was gar nicht geht... Alles in Allem war unser Aufenthalt im Blue Tao sehr unbefriedigend. Vor allem bei diesem Preis erwartet man definitiv mehr. Eigentlich sehr schade weil die Lage des Hotels sehr gut wäre. Dies führte schlussendlich dazu das wir früher als geplant weitergereist sind, weil wir uns wirklich unwohl gefühlt haben.

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!

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.

ชอบมากๆๆเลยค่ะ ที่พักสวยมากๆๆ บรรยากาศดี สอบตรงสระว่ายน้ำ และต้นมะพร้าวมากๆ ดูมีซิกเนเจอร์ดี มีทั้งกิจกรรมเรือคายัค สน้อคกิ้งดว้ยย ประทับใจจจจสุดๆๆ อาหารเช้าก็ดีมากๆๆค่า

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 stayed for just one night at the Taatoh Seaview Resort. It was quite a journey from Koh Samui. The ferry was fun and Koh Tao was very busy when we arrived. However the hotel had a truck on standby to take us to the hotel. We arrived before the check in time and our room was ready almost instantly. We had the junior suite I think and it was two rooms, one for me and one for my daughter. The beds were extremely comfortable. The air conditioning was perfect. The mosquito nets very pretty and effective. We didn’t get any mosquito bites whilst staying there. The steps down to the beach are extremely challenging for someone my age (see my YouTube video) and the beach is very small. However, this isn’t about the beach it’s about the snorkelling in Shark Bay. My daughter had never done snorkelling and it had been a few decades since I had but we absolutely loved it. The hotel supplied life jackets, goggles, I think there was a small fee for flippers. It was brilliant. The food was lovely. Not expensive. Big hearty dishes. Great shrimps rolls. Amazing curry. The staff were the best but if our stay. From the young man who drove the shuttle service van to the ladies on the reception and all the staff. They were friendly, helpful, funny, relaxed and cool. They really helped make us feel comfortable and welcome. I’ve rated the hotel stay as 5 out of 5. It’s not a luxury Hilton… or a big brand hotel. It’s a quirky, handmade independent hotel in the jungle. It’s not perfect… sometimes it hard work… but put it all together and my daughter and I had the best time. We stayed 1 night. I was really sad to leave. I wanted to stay 100 nights. Chill, relaxed, quirky, challenging location, beautiful experience. You can check my video on YouTube if you search “IvysDadd” I do a long detailed review of our time in Koh Tao. Thanks Taatoh…

By far, one of the best hotels I've stayed in my travels, breakfast was amazing and you can request dishes to be prepared for you like omelettes, pancakes and such, lunch and dinner were delicious and very flavorful, drinks at pool bar were very good and varied. The staff was so nice, helpful and welcoming, I really loved them. I had a Thai massage which helped me with the pain and ”knots” that I had from previous injuries, very professional. This hotel made my experience in Koh Tao 10x better

We had a wonderful stay in coral view, what an amazing team of staff, who are so helpful, friendly and welcoming. The place is set in an outstanding location, right on the beach front of a beautiful bay on the south east of the island. We visited with our teenage son and his friend and spent 5 fabulous nights in a sea front chalet. The rooms are a good size, with much needed working air con. The hotel itself is on three different levels, with a great choice for breakfast, a very peaceful sitting area, with pool table, a fabulous reception desk team, who were so wonderful. Down near the beach, is a beach bar with a team of the best hotel staff, who make a wonderful cocktail and some tasty food. There’s a diving shop on the beach, where we rented some fins for snorkelling (the hotel also has goggles and snorkels for free) Whilst we were there, the hotel arranged for a local guide to take us around the island on his small boat, which cost about £80 for the four of us. This was the highlight of our time there on the island, swimming with turtles, exploring the Japanese garden and visiting shark bay. We took a car into Sairee Beach for an afternoon’s stroll around the busier parts of Koh Tao. We are very grateful to the entire team for making us so welcome, from the cooks in the kitchen to the bar staff, the grounds people and bar staff, how fortunate we were to find this place. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a bit of paradise.

Fabulous snorkeling just on the shore of the hotel. Black tip sharks, fish of all colors, beautiful coral. Amazing Infinity pool with swim up bar. Super room with great view. Everyone has a big smile. Great beach. You need to be semi fit as there is a lot of stairs but it is so worth it for the view. Food for lunch and dinner is great and reasonably priced. The only negative is the breakfast… it is really not great. Worsr than breakfast at 2 stars hotel.
