Hotels near Koh Tao Scuba Club in Koh Tao

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.

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.

A particularly beautiful island, I ca n’t remember how many times I came to Turtle Island to play. This time because I was with my mother, I specially booked a new hotel by the sea. The facilities are pretty good. The environment is very good, and the luxurious sea view room booked below is the swimming pool and beach. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, and you can also snorkel.

Good location, close to Lompraya pier, no need for a taxi on arrival/departure. Not noisy, comfortable, everything is there, everything is nearby (rental of bikes, fins, masks, etc., Russian dive center Scuba Birds, drink/eat). Not far away is the picturesque bay of Jansom Bay and the empty, formerly (for a long time) luxurious Charm Churi hotel. The beach at Blue Diamond is not a large section of Maye Head, in a good location. The bottom is fine sand, the entry is comfortable, there are few corals at the bottom, in patches. The low tide is strong, during our stay (July-August 2023) in the morning the sea was not bathable (it went very far), by 14:00 you can already swim comfortably, by 18:00 full tide, gorgeous swimming at sunset. The restaurant in the hotel is not cheap, but - right on the beach. Tom yum is the best in my opinion. If you are a diver and plan to dive at the Scuba Birds hotel, you can get a discount on accommodation. Good hotel and dive club, I recommend.

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.

Wonderful resort where we stayed in the family beach bungalow. Very nice accommodation. Everything was very clean and staff very friendly. Especially Tida who helped us 2 times in the restaurant was very helpful.

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.

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.

THE BEST HOSTEL I STAYED AT IN THAILAND. Apologies for shouting, but I had an incredible experience of staying in the Dearly hostel. Hostel/Dorms: I stayed for a week in a female dorm which I would recommend - sheets changed every 3 days, new towels available daily if needed, clean and nice smelling space, and comfortable beds that were not bunk beds. Modern and fresh decor with partitions between beds for more privacy. Such a simple and smart solution! Lovely and friendly cleaning ladies as well:)) The hostel itself surrounded by palm trees; I would definitely recommend to check out their common space on the 3rd floor (pictures attached). Shared Bathroom: clean, modern and nicely smelling bathrooms with shampoo and soap provided in the showers. Diving: I did the PADI open water course organised via dear hostel. As I was staying for a week the hostel offers a good deal for the accommodation combined with diving. The big advantage is a deep swimming pool at the hostel where you can practise diving skills before going into the open water. The swimming pool itself was great - they use salt instead of chlorine, which is both appreciated for the skin and hair. I would definitely recommend the diving instructor we had - Fam - who made us feel comfortable and ready to move from the swimming pool to open water diving. When speaking with other people staying in the hostel they also had a very positive experience with their diving instructors. Social: the hostel organised daily activities which were written on the blackboard in the lobby. I have not participated in many as I have been diving/studying for diving at the time, but it sounded like a good opportunity to meet other ppl. Personally, I made the most connections in my dorm bed and during breakfasts:) really great people and smiley faces with people wanting to be approachable. For partying we were going to the Sairee beach part of the island. This is not a party hard hostel, but it had a very good atmosphere of pre-drinks before going out and having a beer with some friends. Staff: very helpful, attentive and accommodating staff. Good email communication as well:) Breakfast: served 7-10 am; very useful to have it in the hostel when doing morning dives; everyday breakfast included toast, pancakes, fruit in coconut milk, and a rice/rice noodle dish. This was the first hostel breakfast I could eat in Thailand as I have food allergies and the rice/rice noodle dish was always very tasty. I recommended this hostel to three of my travel friends & all really enjoyed their stay here. For me, there is no other hostel alternative on Koh Tao ;) definitely will be back for another diving session! Thank you!

We stayed at Koh Tao Heritage for 11 nights and we enjoyed our stay. Location was perfect for access along Sairee and also close to Mae Haad pier. The room was clean and very spacious. Only complaints were the bathroom was quite dated and the bed was really really hard to lay on. It had really good reliable wifi and Netflix available in the room. The staff were friendly and always topped us up with water and tea/coffee every morning. The swimming pool area is actually really nice and good place to chill. However the small private beach is quite rocky and not the nicest to swim at. They offer a laundry service and there is also scooter rental right opposite the reception. Can’t fault our time at Heritage and would happily stay again!
