Hotels in Jansom Bay / Sai Nuan Beach, Koh Tao

What a great place to stay on Koh Tao. Our bungalow was perfect for island living. Only complaint was the lack of a chair to sit at the desk with (just used a night stand). Two nice pools built into the natural landscape. “Tom” the concierge was very helpful in all matters. Thanks Tom. Breakfast was mostly western and might I add their bacon was amazing. We extended three days after the first three went too fast.

The service at the Tarna Align resort is impeccable. They keep you in touch via Whatsapp and are incredibly welcoming and helpful. Golf buggies take you anywhere you want to go into Sairee and then bigger vans for the pier. They provide good amenities eg toothpaste. We stayed in a Villa Sea View room which had absolutely stunning views and a great balcony. It was a short trip into Sairee for walks in the day or for night time activities. The only downside was the room. 1. It was incredibly dark with all the lights on at night with no option to have brighter lights on. 2. The bedside table is a small floating shelf next to the bed and sloped downwards so in the night things would fall off onto the floor. 3. The only way to control lighting and air con was by a panel on one side of the bed which meant if one person fell asleep the other person had to try and get out to get to the panel. 4. Beware of the glass door to the toilet- we both walked into it and bruised ourselves as it was so clean and see through. Could benefit from stickers on it to prevent this. 5. The fridge is right behind the bed and very noisy so we had to unplug it at night to sleep

It was a wonderful stay with friendly people. The cabin we stayed in was very nice and they arranged transportation from the hotel back to the pier. It is within walking distance of all kinds of nice shops and restaurants and also has a restaurant on the beach.

The second stay after seven years was still a wonderful healing journey. The beautiful scenery and snorkeling, rowing back and forth between Jamagiri and Hatien, and being able to easily walk a hundred meters away from the beach after low tide, all kinds of rare experiences are impressive. The second time I went, I found that there were fewer domestic tourists and I almost didn't see them. Maybe the hotel team has changed? The food system has changed a bit. The thin noodles like the dried noodles provided for breakfast before are no longer there. The noodles are only wide and like rice noodles. The menu was completely replaced on the second day of the stay. It is said that the price has increased. Who knows? Anyway, it is a recommended hotel. After all, it is the number one hotel in Koh Tao. I hope to have another trip in the distant future.

Insanely bad service. I booket 1x 1 Night for 2 and 3x1 Night for 2 in total from 19 to 23 july. I ask if we could get same room during our stay to avoid moving room the Day after and it was confirmed by the receptionist. Today they show up and tells us to move room or we have to pay more to stay in the same room. The hotel is EMPTY we are the only ones here but they dont Care. I also booked a room with 2 single beds and they start giving us a room with a double bed. We are 2 men aged 41 and 51. WE DO NOT SLEEP IN SAME BED OF COURSE. I have used ********** app for 5 years now and have over 200 nights booket in total, most of Them in Thailand and i have never in my 10 years travelling in Thailand had such a bad service at a hotel. I even wrote the hotel 2 days in advance to explain everything about our room and out stay. No reply. We were told when we arrived at the hotel there was free transfer from pier but how should we know when noone at the hotel answer our messages. This is litteraly insane. This hotel does NOT provide any service at all and the receptionist has a very unpleasant Way of talking and explaining things. Do not go here its simply not worth it and the Island is covered in hotels anyway

Ban’s is one of the biggest diving center in Tao. We had standard room with ac. Everything worked very well, making up the room was daily, if needed. Hotel has many swimming pools, but daily time pools are only for divers. There are laundry (1kg/50baht), restaurant, diving center, motorbike rental, Ban’s shops and everything you need for a diving holiday. Hotel area is HUGE, so be ready to walk if your room is up in the hill. About 15min walk from the harbour.

The road is quite steep. The hotel provides a fairly frequent pier shuttle service. I recommend that you contact the page to ask about the price first and then compare it with agoda or trip.com because we booked through trip.com for 5,500 baht, a sea wing super room. And asked to extend another night in the same room, contacted the page and got it for 4,000 baht. The staff informed that they would like to upgrade to a larger room with an ocean view, but the view was not panoramic because it was partially blocked by trees. - There will be two bottles of water per day in the room. The bed and pillows are soft and very comfortable to sleep on. There are covers, towels, and hair towels. Shampoo, soap, shower gel, conditioner and cream, but no comb. There is a safe. Refrigerator with two bottles of water that can be drunk for free. Other than that, it's a waste of money. I recommend going to 7-11 and stocking up before coming here. No sandals, just a woven bag to carry around in a stylish way. - The room we got didn't have a sofa, only a small chair with no backrest. - I saw many people review that the staff were friendly and well taken care of. But for us, it's very indifferent. I wasn't impressed by anything. If you come for the second time, think about changing to another place. - The rooms will be in the style of loft stone mixed with wood. The door is polished wood and has a padlock. - Wide balcony with seating to admire the view It is recommended to stay in a room with a balcony because even if wet clothes need to be found somewhere to dry. -The way up to the room is very steep and high. Forget your things, you'll get to work. -At the reception, many times the people I called were foreign employees who couldn't speak Thai. Maybe it's because Thai people take little breaks or not. I'm not sure. - We accept credit cards here but I'm not sure what the minimum is. You can transfer money. - The advantage of this place is the hotel's location between two beaches where diving times are very different. - The beach below the reception is on the side of Sai Daeng Beach. Lots of dry rocks and coral. And it's the side where many sharks are found as well. Sharks were swimming around the beach very close. - The other side of the hotel connects to Ao Luek. On this side, the coral is beautiful, the fish are beautiful, the water is clear, but the water is deep. The waves hit the rocks hard. There is no beach. Near the entrance there is a large rock with shellfish embedded in it, very sharp and slippery. We had blood all over our arms and legs. But on this side, there are fewer people snorkeling than on the other side. It is recommended to wear a life jacket so that when swimming back you won't get tired. - Comes with choke and support board Including free life jacket But snorkeling is 100 baht per day. - Lots of beautiful photo angles, both from the room or various places in the hotel. And the highlight corner is the cliff that extends out. If you don't stay here, you won't get this view. - There is a large pool with a sea view and a poolbar. Foreign teenagers are excited. - Breakfast for us is just enough to eat, not a lot of variety, the taste is pleasing to foreigners. There is a fresh coffee dispenser. - In the dinner section Eat at the same place as breakfast. The prices are not too expensive, probably similar to the restaurants in hotels around that area. But the taste is definitely the same cook as in the morning. Plus the food wasn't fresh at all, which made me disappointed. - Overall, the view, atmosphere, rooms, and location are very good. Let's dive until our bodies are wet and our clothes are not dry. Anyone who wants to have fun with sharks will definitely find it. But unfortunately we didn't see a turtle. Don't expect a lot of breakfast and other meals. Riding a motorcycle must be a certain degree of stiffness.

The location is near the end of the beach, so it's a bit of a walk to get to the ”main area”, but the distance is easily walked along the beach. This is also somewhat of a blessing, as it reduces the noise level at night. We stayed in an AC bungalow, which was nice. However, the shower had very poor water pressure, and there are no curtains on the windows, despite the fact that the other bungalows and rooms can look directly in on you... We had to find cardboard to cover them... They have a restaurant on site, which is priced higher than some of the restaurants in the main area, but *most* of the food is good (not great), and the staff are really nice, so we ate there relatively often (as it was better than walking back and forth to the main area). Despite some relatively minor annoyances, we'd happily stay there again, depending on the price.

The resort has one of the best view in this island even though you have to trade it off for other things like climbing up and down every day. The hotel staff is also friendly and helpful, i cant ride motorbike so he offers me free ride everyday to the town when I need to go their for dinner.

Unfortunately we were very disappointed with our stay here. The location of the hotel is amazing, on the beach along a very busy ***** of restaurants and beach bars which was great. However, the hotel itself was sadly a let down. The hotel keep whistling birds in cages just outside the hotel rooms so expect to be woken at all hours by birds whistling louder than we could believe. The room we were in was very basic to the point where the only plug socket was by the front door, so to dry my hair I had to stand at the front door with no mirror or chair… The shower was a fixed height (very low) so my partner had to be on his knees to wash his hair and I had to bend significantly despite not being very tall. The room was very dark with basically no natural light at all throughout the day. The bedding was just a thick blanket, that I imagine isn’t washed between guests, in between two loose sheets so the blanket kept coming out of the sheets. The toilet was very temperamental and wouldn’t always flush properly. One positive is that the air con was strong however to circulate the air we also had the fan on and this made an annoying screeching noise when it turned to a certain point, which again, woke us up during the night. We didn’t have breakfast because we had a look at what was on offer and decided to go elsewhere as there are lots of nice local places to eat. The staff also weren’t the most pleasant and even got our dates confused when we checked in. Sadly wouldn’t recommend this hotel.
