Koh Tao Cabana Resort

“Brilliant stay !”

We came to kho tao for three days before heading on to koh samui. What a mistake ! We should have stayed longer . We loved the hotel and the island. It gave us everything we love. Such a relaxed vibe in the most beautiful place. The resort was at the end of the beach and was quiet . Beautiful wooden rooms overlooking the ocean with a hammock on the outside space. Absolutely stunning. Cabanas on the beach and the view looking out to the bay was to die for. Great snorkelling from the beach. Lots of chill bars on the beach to watch the sunset five minutes walk away and restaurants galore in a busy vibing street. Breakfast was fine and the restaurant had a stunning view. There was some noise at night and ear plugs were provided. There are some areas that could do with a touch up namely near the pool area. That was the only negatives and didn’t detract from the absolute gorgeousness of the place . We have been to many amazing places but the beauty and simplicity of the hotel and the island means we will definitely be back !

“Beautiful Rustic Cabana on the beautiful island of Koh Tao”

We had 5 lovely nights in their standard cabana at one end of Sairee beach in beautiful Koh Tao.

We had 5 lovely nights in their standard cabana at one end of Sairee beach in beautiful Koh Tao. You need to be able to walk without difficulty as each cabana has quite a walk and steps from Reception, the beach and restaurant. Our cabana was lovely, rustic and no real complaints, except it was difficult to apply makeup at night as the cabana was quite dark with orange lighting! There is an outside shower and bathroom which was a lovely touch. You feel like you are living in the jungle but only minutes away from the beach. We did get bitten a lot by mozzies and other biting insects but there was a mosquito net around our bed which we made sure we used when we slept. This is obviously not the hotel's fault. You do hear the music from the various bars on the beach if you go to bed before 3am but that can't really be helped and ear plugs are provided. The main lively area is about a 10 min walk along the beach which we found to be the quickest route. We ate lunch in the restaurant and pool a couple of times which was delicious. The swimming pool area is really lovely, as is the beach. The staff are an asset and really go out of their way to make you feel important and welcome. One tiny warning, we stupidly took our key out with us and lost it one night. When we got back at approx. 3am we went straight to reception and there was no one around. If we weren't at risk of being bitten alive we would have just slept in the hammock but that wasn't really an option for that very reason. When you initially arrive the Reception staff do point out that reception is closed at night and there is a no. to call if you need anyone out of hours. Unfortunately, we had not got this on us so we were effectively locked out until we managed to randomly find a young girl sitting outside what must have been the staff quarters at about 4.30 am in the morning! By that time we were a little grumpy! This was totally our fault but maybe a sign with the contact no. could have been left on the Reception desk for such eventualities. We also had to pay a fee to replace the key of 500 baht, which we totally accept. Just make sure you don't lose your key, hide it somewhere or make sure that you record the number in your phone!

“Happy here for 9 nights”

Very nice spot. We stayed 9 nights. Beach at the resort was lovely. 2x SUPs and 4 x kayaks available, on a first come-first served basis. Perhaps a couple of sailing dinghies added to the fleet would be great? Shortage of loungers. People’bagged’ them at an early hour…… Breakfast in the raised ab... more

Very nice spot. We stayed 9 nights. Beach at the resort was lovely. 2x SUPs and 4 x kayaks available, on a first come-first served basis. Perhaps a couple of sailing dinghies added to the fleet would be great? Shortage of loungers. People’bagged’ them at an early hour…… Breakfast in the raised above the beach restaurant was a star loser - I would have given the resort 5*. The furniture was cranky, the tables sticky and rather too many flies. Fruits offered were watermelon, honey dew melon, pineapple and dragon fruit…..every day. No mangoes, papayas, bananas, mangosteens, lychees……a shame. I took to taking my own mangoes. Staff brilliant. Laundry service basic but good. Room in the ‘Whitesands’ style individual bungalows was spacious and comfortable. A little gloomy. The resort is a 10 minute walk along the beach from the ‘action’. Would recommend even at 6,500 baht b&b.
