Relaxing place far away from the town and the happenings 😊 We didn’t mind that as we were looking for the quiet place where we can relax and snorkel. It was a nice staying even tho rooms are on the hill and it takes quite time to go open and down. But, once you are down you can enjoy beautiful marine life with baby sharks, turtles and various fish 🐠
This place is a little rustic but has some real charm. Set in the rocks on the side of the bay, it is a little steep getting up to the restaurant and back down to the rooms but there are plenty of steps about and you soon get used to the short climb. The site may need a little touch up here and there but the views from the restaurant, the quality, value and flavours of the meals available as well as the efficiency, attentiveness and sheer friendliness of the staff makes up for it. We hired a bungalow which was two separate rooms (both with an ensuite) and with a shared balcony. The property also had a gate for privacy. This was ideal for us as a family of 5, although my youngest (10) had to sleep on a mattress on the floor which she wasn't initially impressed with. However, we had views of the bay from the balcony and, generally, the beds were comfortable and the place quiet. Infact, my husband and I slept with our bedroom doors open, as we could see the sea, and were woken by some beautiful sunrises each morning. We then dozed off again until breakfast. The staff were hugely accommodating and bent over backwards for us all. We were able to borrow the kayaks and life jackets to explore the bay and, for a small fee, the team were able to drop us wherever we needed to go on the island. My husband and I did some diving with Roctopus Dive School and my girls did some try dives but it was no-issue for the Taootoh staff to take and collect us from Sairee Beach. The bay has numerous turtles and each time we snorkelled we saw at least one. It was also highly amusing watching visiting tourist boats come to the bay as you could always tell when someone had spotted a turtle as suddenly a sea of orange (from the life jackets) would move around the bay together. The location of Taatoh is great. It's off the main road and away from the rest of the guesthouses/hotels but within walking distance (10 minutes tops) of the beach, bars and seafront. Just around the corner in the opposite direction is Freedom Beach. You pay a small fee to enter but it was worth it. The beach is small and secluded but the bar has many tables to chill at (overlooking the bay) as well as comfy beanbags. There are so many fish in the waters here and we were lucky enough to see some turtles. We absolutely loved it here and are so pleased we chose it over our other choice on the opposite side of the bay. My girls have asked to go back which is always a good sign! PS - They love cats and have quite a few pets, all well cared for and very friendly.
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!
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!
Erg mooi hotel beetje moeilijk te bereiken maar voor ons geen probleem. Zouden daar 2 nachten blijven uiteindelijk nog bijgeboekt. Sommige dingen kunnen wel een beetje een opknapbeurt gebruiken maar voor de rest personeel is erg aardig en behulpzaam kamers hebben een super mooi uitzicht op de baai. En daarnaast als je vroeg opstaar heb je de mooiste zonsopkonst van het eiland.
ゲゲスト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
YYarindaThe place was so nice and quiet. The place near the restaurant and the Main Street and easy to walk around 5 minutes and close to everywhere.The staff was so kind and nicely
ゲゲストTrès bon hôtel pour passer un court séjour sur l’île de Koh Tao, au calme et non loin de tout. Petit problème de débit d’eau pendant la douche mais c’est un déthaï . Location de scooter au pied de l’immeuble, nous rendons bientôt le nôtre et verrons si c’était un bon loueur ou un escroc. En tout cas scoot neuf et qui fonctionne bien.
En ce qui concerne le lavage du linge il y a des machines à laver et à sécher le linge à 1min de scoot de l’hôtel. Nous recommandons.
JjsivialImmersion totale dans la nature avec ses bungalow. Chambre rustique avec uniquement le nécessaire. Pas d’eau chaude dans la douche mais pas dérangeant vu la chaleur sur l’île. Accès plage à 50m, quelques restaurants et agence de plongée juste en face.
