Top Koh Tao Hotel Reviews

Jamahkiri Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had a deluxe room villa and it was an absolutely stunning room! The cleanliness was impeccable. All the food staff were very very kind. We stayed here for the convenience of the diving as well and found 1 of the ladies in the dive shop was not very friendly, informative or helpful… we felt like we were a nuisance to her most days. Then another lady showed up later in the weeks and she was absolutely wonderful and was very helpful :) we went diving with Nick, Jordan and Bjorn and they were all wonderful. Nick was very entertaining under water and even when visibility was low, gave us fun things to do :) the past reviews warning about stairs is very much real. It was a great leg workout for us for the week but I would not recommend it for anyone who isn’t fit. Shuttles into town are extremely helpful as taxis are quite expensive… overall this hotel was stunning and adorable <3 "

Koh Tao Montra Resort

6/10 Okay

"Found bugs in our room around 8 pm and 11 pm. Looked like moths and then sugar ants and appeared to be coming through a crack in the wall onto the desk (no food was left out). By the time we ensured that all our stuff was bug free and we had managed to deal with all the ones we saw it was after midnight. Upon first glance the room looked nice but sound found that a lot was in a state of disrepair, the light in the shower was out, the floorboards were coming off the wall, the blinds didn't fully close in some spots."

Ban's Diving Resort

6/10 Okay

"La première chambre que nous avons eu était infestée de fourmis. On nous a déplacé dans une deuxième chambre. Celle-ci n'avait pas d'insectes mais au bout de 3 jours une forte odeur d'égoût se dégageait de la salle de bains. Nous avons été déçus de notre séjour. Le buffet déjeuner était bien et il y avait beaucoup de choix. Les piscines du complexe sont biens. L'endroit est bien situé. Près du centre mais assez calme le soir pour pouvoir se reposer. L'écolde de plongée est bien. Nous avons fait notre Open water et avons aimé l'expérience."

In Touch Resort

8/10 Good

"Very nice large rooms, great cleaning, never had to wait, nice pool. The garden could be better maintained and the English of the reception staff could be better tbh. I’d love it if you could get room or pool service from the restaurant downstairs. But again, rooms were spotless, so large, comfy bed 🙏 great location"

Koh Tao Beach Club

4/10 Poor

"Other than being on the beach, this resort falls short of any expectations. It is an older, rundown resort with gapes in between the flooring. The wood floor creaked every you step. Some of the pool’s tiles are coming apart. The fake wood plank by the pool get super hot so when you get out of the pool, you better have your shoes near by. The staff never acknowledged us once for our 4 night stay. And everyone one was either smoking cigarettes or pot. Wont stacked the whole time. It was not a fun place to be."

Cape Shark Pool Villas

10/10 Excellent

"Superb villa with a great layput, spacious and well appointed with 3 overhead fans (bedroom, living area and outside seating areas). Staff very helpful, even let us in 2hrs ahead of check in time. Great decks below villas for snorkeling- swam with 2 Black Tip Reef Sharks whilst down... 1 adult about 5ft and one ypungster about 3 ft... amazing"
