Top 5-Star Hotels in Koh Tao

We didn't stay there but did pay to use the pool and had dinner in the restaurant. The location is stunning with an amazing view across the bay, where you can see turtles from the pool if you are lucky! You pay 500 Baht to use the pool and are provide with a towel. This (the 500 Baht) is offset against your bar bill. We also ate in the restaurant - an amazing location with great views of the sunset, wonderful food and top service. I'd love to stay there one day. It is a little off the beaten track but as a result is very peaceful.

I stayed 5 days in The blue villa in Over The Moon. The location is great on a hillside overlooking the main bay and treetops. The Blue villa is decorated in a very nice and tasteful way with all modern amenities available. All is kept well and maintained and clean. Breakfast can be ordered by phone in restaurants nearby. The place is perfect for travelers who want luxury of a hotel but have their private time and space. Perfect for relaxing. Thanks to Giovanni and his team.

Myself & my boyfriend was meant to stay here for 3 nights but ended up staying 5. The view and pool are just breathtaking.... It was just out of this world. Only one suggestion is that the one mirror in the bathroom isn’t enough and would have been nice to have a full length mirror (complete minor issue). The staff would go out of there way to help you. You get given a villa phone to call for taxis and message reception which is amazing. I would defo recommend hiring a bike. You’re completely out of the way from the hustle and bustle but just a 5 min bike ride back to the main part. If you stay here you will not regret it!!!

We had a great stay at Tarna Align. The staff are so LOVELY, every single one of them, especially to my little girl. It is a little uphill, but it is worth it for the views - the little golf buggy/tuk tuk is great for taking you up and down to the main strip and we found it was always out and about and we would just jump on and off it. We got a great room with a huge balcony. It was clean and huge. Breakfast was really good, the man at the egg station was lovely and I liked the way you could order coffees, their fresh smoothies were delicious. Although a little uphill from the main strip I really think you would struggle to get this quality of hotel for the price. Would recommended.

The hotel itself is very good and the rooms were clean. We had a double fan bungalow but I don’t recommend this because it was way to hot in there. A room with air conditioning would be perfect at this hotel, a bit more pricy but definitely worth it. The hotel is located by the sea and has beautiful sunsets. On the day, the beach is not very nice as it is low tide until like 17 or something. Rent a motorbike and it’s perfect. The hotel picks you up from the pier when you arrive with the ferry and drives you there when you are going away from the Island too. The deposition at the hotel was 2000 baht, passport or ID-card. I recommend this hotel if you are visiting Koh Tao and wants to have a hotel by the sea for a little amount of money.

The view is really nice. There were a lot of reviews about bugs, so I brought cockroach repellent and a home mat, but luckily I didn't see the cockroaches, and it was pretty clean and nice! The beach in the back is really really good for snorkeling! The food at Uncle Restaurant in front is also very delicious overall! If you like french fries, be sure to try french fries. Really crispy in the world!!! But the service is a bit vague. At 1:30, there was a pick-up bus from the ferry side, so I waited, but he didn't come, I called, but it kept saying it was the wrong number (the number found on Trip.cup and Naver search) and the ferry attendant waited at 2 o'clock but waited to be able to get on at 2:10. They said that when they came at 2:30, they said it was going to depart at 3 o'clock.. I got on the bus right after the protest, but waited for an hour. For reference, here, a 5-minute walk costs 200 baht and a 10-minute drive costs 400 baht. Also, when I rented snorkeling equipment, the info said it was $100, but the info said it was $1000, so the info said it was $100. Then they told me to pay 200 dollars for two people, but later I found out that if it's 1000 dollars, it's a deposit and 100 dollars is just a loan. (No refunds + no equipment purchases) I took this place on purpose because it was free to rent. It was a bit disappointing that the information was not properly provided and the time was not kept well, but the view is so good that if I go again next time, I want to stay at this hotel. I stayed for 2 nights, but on the last day, the air conditioner broke down, so I couldn't fix it for a long time, so I had to move to the next room.

Very nice typical residence, ps hotel's restaurant Thai food is delicious, not confusing

Very nice hotel, super value for money, going out at 100 meters outside the beach at 3 in the afternoon is still very shallow (need beach shoes) suitable for snorkeling, breakfast is good!

Hotel was beautiful. Snorkeling off the beach was pretty good, small sharks, turtles, tropical fish. The beach was busier than expected. Hotel is removed from hubbub but beach is public and well used. Hotel has basic shuttle service to main area. Hotel rooms would benefit from in room sitting.

Location is great! You can walk on the beach in a few minutes into life. Nice beach tent holders and restaurants. Shopping is a bit disappointing and there is nothing like a night market. With the hotel's shuttle bus you can go to the pier 3 times a day for free. Staff is very friendly, help you with everything. Staying at the beach is wonderful! The sea is nice and calm, good to lie in or swim. The pool is poorly maintained. Broken tiles and dirty water, a shame because this can be a wonderful place if you (and we actually) are less from the beach. We stayed in the deluxe villa. Large ”house”, with large bathroom and large balcony where the bats like to hang from the roof in the evening. These do nothing, except to shit on the balcony… The bed is very hard. Asked for a topper which wasn't a problem but rather a mattress protector so flimsy and it didn't really do anything. The breakfast is not exciting, we mainly had breakfast outside in life, with more choice than egg and toast.
