"Had a very pleasant stay at Koh Tao Beach Club and enjoyed the location that's within walking distance of Sairee Beach. Staff was friendly and accomodating and it was a nice touch to get two bottles of water each day, regardless if you wanted the room cleaned or not. The beach was actually better than Sairee Beach and since it seemed to be shared with only one other hotel meant it was fairly quiet and not crowded at all. The room was spacious but was showing some signs of wear, nothing alarming...
