This is my second time here, and I’ve fallen in love with this place all over again. The view is absolutely stunning, and the atmosphere is so quiet and peaceful. The staff are very kind, and even the staff remembered me which made me feel truly welcome as a Thai guest. I haven’t found another place that matches my energy the way this one does. Of course, I’ll be back for sure!

Rooms are a bit dated and air conditioning was very noisy. Also slightly remote but good to have the hotel shuttle.

The pool, the breakfast and the snorkelling

The views, the staff, the diving, the bed, the room.. What more can I say!

Choice at breakfast was a bit limited.

Amazing views, beautiful location. The Royal Suite was amazing. Very comfortable beds. Lovely lunches and dinner. Great pool. Stunning. Great to snorkel and kayak straight from the hotel.

I had done some research prior to going so I was aware and prepared for all the steps however if anyone didn’t check before I fear they could be shocked. The staff were good but certainly found tipping Helped 🥴

Loved the accommodation and facilities

The snorkling gear could have been free to borrow.

Beautiful view from the room but also from the pool as well as the restaurant. Pool was clean. Nice service with free shuttle to the pier.

My partner did an introductory scuba dive course, however the dive boat reeked of canabis on his return to the resort

Reception staff were helpful and assisted with day tours. Restaurant staff were very friendly

Lots of steps but that is to be expected as Koh Tao is very hilly. There was building work, expanding the hotel, going on right in-front of our villa ( not the sea side) which made it noisy from 8am to 5pm and which we weren’t aware of before going. However, the hotel responded really well discounting our room rate and food/drinks. A refurbishment of some of the furniture is needed.

Great pool villa, lovely view over the sea albeit over the flat roof of another villa. Kitchen, bathroom, seating areas inside and out all good. Lovely pool at villa. Great general pool area and terrace too. Excellent restaurant. The SSI Diving club is very professional. Fun dives every day as well as training from start up to instructor.

We booked on booking.com including late check out. Hotel refused to give us late check up and explain that booking is not the hotel... Also pool shade area was unsaficiant.

Very nice location

Stayed in April 2025

Cons: - Very RUDE STAFF, with few exceptions. For example: my boyfriend and I were drinking cocktails by the pool during happy hour and while trying different drinks, the 2 bar tenders were making fun of us - they were speaking in their language, so we didn't understand what they were saying, but the body language and the looks were extremely obvious and they didn't even bother to hide their behaviour. It was very unpleasant, so at certain point we left. Other staff acted extremely bored and they when you asked for something, they made you feel like "What do you want now, just leave me alone." There were a few exceptions, though, that were nice and helpful, but overall one of the worst services - remember, this was supposed to be a 5* hotel, so this kind of behaviour and type of service is unacceptable. - A lot of stairs. If you have problems with physical activity (due to bad knees, etc.), do not book this hotel. - Bad access to the beach: you need to walk cca. 100 stairs to get there and there is no sandy beach, only rocks. The access to the beautiful sandy beach (Shark's bay) is from one hotel before the Jamahkiri.

Pros: + beautiful view + comfortable beds + excellent dinners

Stayed in April 2025

The whole set up on the beautiful shore is very well organized, and apart from some decoration limits, it's a place you can only enjoy to stay at. Turtles await you for a swim downstairs!

I like the view and location, but please extend the kayak time to 6:30 PM and shuttle bus till 10:00 PM.

The resort lays on a steep shore and if you have problems with constant climbing the place is not for you. There is No accessible sandy Beach near the resort. Shark Beach next to the Hotel is private and can only be accessed via Beach resort for extra cost. Going out of the resort is only possible by scooter or other transportation. Nothing within walking distance and the steep roads does not invite for a walk. Felt a little bit deserted but overall was nice

Spacious and clean rooms, amazing ocean view. Im not sure how full the Hotel was, we hardly saw any other guests during our stay. Luckily for us it meant the pool was not crowded at all and there was always plenty of sunchairs to choose from. Great snorkeling right in front of the resort. We saw nice fish and a turtle. Breakfast was good.

No lift and steps everywhere, very steep road location

Very friendly and helpful staff

Stayed in January 2025

Room was comfortable, amazing sea view and clean. Just a bit outdated. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Pool area is great and there is a small beach you can snorkel from connected to the resort. Main downside is feels like the resort is trying to get more money from guests all the time. Since it's far from any other restaurants/cafes, food and drinks at the hotel are expensive and taste is just okay, very westernized. Snorkeling equipment also costs extra. Lose a key card or a towel, extra money. Would be nice if the shuttle to the island center ran more often. You can also reach the center with a motorbike but the road leading to the resort is very steep so only for experienced riders.

The road to the hotel is very tricky and dangerous because its very high up and the fact that you need to climb a minimum of 50 stairs in order to get anywhere around the hotel but thats also the beauty of this place so its hard to put it under the cons

The design of the hotel is absolutely spectacular! Its a work of art and amazing views from every angle! However, you better be very fit because you will have to be climbing hundreds of stairs up and down every day :) after 2 days you are going to wish that you did not forget something in your room and have to come back hahah

Stayed in February 2025
