The Paradise Koh Tao Resort I was saying to my daughter how, for me, a 5 star hotel is not just about the quality of the room or building or the food or even the staff. It’s about the overall experience. Value for money, comfort, fun. We were met at the pier with our cases carried for us to a songthaews. We were met at the grand hotel by Koko who explained that there was a power cut. No electricity but he was smiling and so sincere it was not a problem for us. We were walked to our room by Koko and a colleague. They carried our cases. The room was just being finished with cleaning and we went into the massive room with a double and single bed. No AC because of power cut. It was funny with Koko explaining to us how it worked without being able to show us. My daughter and I then went to the pool which was absolutely amazing. We had the whole pool to ourselves for the afternoon. An elderly Thai couple came and we took some pictures for them. Then a German (or South African) couple. The pool and area was big enough that we weren’t in each others way. Able to relax, peace and have fun. We then ordered some ice cream and when the electricity came on we then ordered lunch; an omelette, a coconut chicken soup and red curry. It was absolutely delicious! (About 600BAHT). My daughter then showered and I had a bath on the balcony! Yes, a bath on the balcony, Bubbles bowing down the street. it was amazing! We then went down to the lobby and were driven free of charge into Koh Tao. We had a wonderful time in Koh Tao which is really alive again since covid. We then paid 500B for a cab back. We slept in the beautiful air conditioned room. The following morning we had breakfast (250B each) and were served again by Su (who was always helpful and smiling). There were other staff members (Myanmar) we didn’t get their names but thank you to them as well. Everyone was smiling, friendly, trying their best and running around for us. We then went on a snorkelling tour and when we came back went to our room which had been spotlessly cleaned with fresh towels etc. We then showered and went for dinner inside the restaurant because it was raining outside. For dinner we had Ka Pow (prawns/basil). Red Curry. Sweet and Sour Pork, coconut chicken soup (again). 4 drinks. It cost 870 Baht. The food at this place was probably the best of our entire trip. Unbelievably tasty I wanted to thank the chef. We then went and played a game of pool in the bar and then went back to the room and fell instantly asleep. The following morning a songthaews had been arranged for 8am to take us to the pier. The end! So, the night before we are at Suranthiya Koh Phangan and they are very similar. Only Suranthiya is about £350 per night and this place was about £40. I think in the 1990’s/2000’s this was Koh Tao’s Suranthiya. The place is a little bit old and weathered but it’s grand and fascinating with incredible view points and obvious history. The ambi
We have been coming to wind beach for the last 10 years and love it! the staff are so friendly, hotel in a great location and amazing sunsets and the beach is stunning. They offer free transfers to and from the pier also. We stay is the deluxe rooms in the middle of the resort where it’s really quiet. Will be back next year!
Kind on the pocket...Sairee Sairee Guest House is clean, basic, affordable accommodation, simply decorated in a contemporary industrial style. The room is adequately appointed with everything you need including both a/c and ceiling fan, television, safe, ensuite bathroom with shower gel and shampoo; and there's a little verandah on which to chill. It's not luxury, but it's perfect.....comfortable and spacious and excellent value. We stayed for over a week and we were very happy there, slept well and would definitely stay there again. The location is perfect, close to the beach, popular eating spots, bars, pharmacy, 7-Eleven, grocery stores, clothing boutiques, tattoo shops, mo-ped hire etc. There is an onsite restaurant. It's not the cheapest in town but not very expensive. We ate there on our last night and we were super impressed with the food. They also do a good cup of tea, especially when paired with their chocolate brownie....a winner after hiking the steep hills of the island. The owners were just lovely and the staff all very friendly and helpful. Definitely a winner!!!
PPhebeAn incredible resort, delicious breakfasts, super friendly and wonderful staff. The lunches and dinners weren't very expensive but they were so delicious! The rooms we stayed in were small pods with beds and a shared bathroom in the middle, but for being in the middle of a jungle the number of bugs was so low inside the rooms. The beds are soft and they give you free water and coffee every day and have refreshments at very fair prices at reception. Amazing snorkeling - you're at a coral reef already! They rent out snorkels , but it would be better if you brought your own. And it's in Tanote Bay, so you can swim out and jump off the rock all you want! Renting a scooter was very simple and inexpensive. The beach isn't very long and it's a Pebble beach so make sure you wear your sandals. But the island is small and boat tours around the island to other beaches aren't expensive.
SsamrichardsnClean room with comfortable beds and a decent sized bathroom. Hotel is in a good location, about a five-minute walk to the nearest beach, and a 20-minute walk from the ferry pier. There are a plethora of restaurants and bars within a 15-minute walk of the hotel, at a range of price-points. Check-in and check-out were very efficient, and the staff were very friendly. The plug sockets in the room (with the exception of the one in the bathroom) were sockets without earth/ground pins, so if you are travelling with adapters or plugs that have a third pin make sure you bring an adapter, otherwise you won't be able to plug them in! This is a minor point though, otherwise, the hotel was okay!
ゲゲスト場所はビーチの端に近いので、「メインエリア」までは少し歩きますが、距離はビーチに沿って簡単に歩くことができます。これは、夜の騒音レベルを下げるので、多少の祝福でもあります。私たちは AC バンガローに泊まりました。しかし、シャワーの水圧は非常に低く、窓にはカーテンがありません。他のバンガローや部屋から直接見られるのに...
彼らは敷地内にレストランを持っており、メインエリアのいくつかのレストランよりも価格が高くなっていますが、*ほとんど*の食べ物は美味しく(素晴らしいとは言えません)、スタッフは本当に親切なので、比較的頻繁に食べました(メインエリアを行き来するよりも良かったです)。
いくつかの比較的小さな煩わしさにもかかわらず、価格にもよりますが、喜んで再びそこに滞在します。
ゲゲストWir waren als Paar für 5 Nächte im Ozo. Wir wurden gratis vom Pier abgeholt und konnten es uns schon mal am Pool gemütlich machen, nachdem wir bereits vormittags ankamen. Die Zimmer sind sauber und geräumig. Am ersten Tag haben wir uns einen Roller beim Hotel geliehen. Der Mietpreis pro Tag erschien mir ortsüblich und fair. Mit dem Roller ist man in 5-10 Minuten überall auf der Insel, zumal diese wirklich überschaubar ist. Leider hatten wir gleich am ersten Tag einen kleinen Unfall, bei dem der Roller zur Seite gekippt ist. Das Hotelpersonal war sehr besorgt und hilfsbereit und stand uns sofort mit medizinischer Hilfe zur Seite, für die nichts berechnet wurde. Auch bei der Kalkulation der Schadenshöhe hatten wir den Eindruck, man bahendle uns fair. Auf Wunsch kommt der Zimmerservice täglich zum Putzen. Wir haben außerdem eine Schnorcheltour über das Hotel gebucht, zu der wir pünktlich abgeholt und wieder zurückgebracht wurden. Bei Abreise hat uns das Hotelpersonal ein Taxi zum Pier gerufen, was mit 50 Baht wirklich günstig war. Die beiden einzigen kleinen Mankos waren zum Einen, dass das Wi-Fi sehr instabil ist und zum Anderen, dass die Matratze ziemlich hart ist. Alles in Allem ist die Unterkunft aber sehr empfehlenswert und wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen!
