This place rocked. Super helpful and friendly staff. Nice, clean, and comfortable room. The pools are beautiful. All of the food and drinks we had there were excellent and very reasonably priced. All around great. Would definitely stay here again if we went back to Koh Tao
The location and views from the property was very nice. Nice breakfast buffet overlooking water. Convenient shuttle service to: from ferry and town. Great location for relaxing away from party scene but with convenient access to town when you want
The best hotel I’ve stayed at in Koh Tao . The staff are so courteous and kind. The service is great-and the views are breathtaking. I enjoyed it so much that I extended my stay for another 7 nights. This is definitely a hidden gem! Highly recommend!!
Definitely one of the best spots on Koh Tao!
Stunning view !!!!!!!!! The room was spacious and clean, and the staff were really kind, making our stay so memorable.
Superb place but slightly overpriced food and drin
The location of the hotel is absolutely amazing and the staff are equally amazing! Super hospitable and always with a smile! Only negative thing that can be said is that the hotel is located a bit far from other restaurants and the hotel charges a lot more than other places for food and drinks.
We had a great time at this resort. The facilities were fantastic, especially the large and clean pool. The sunset view from the poolside was breathtaking.
The restaurant was also really good. I think it's the best resort on Koh Tao
Beautiful hotel with stunning views. We loved staying here, staff very helpful and the best snorkeling is at the bottom of the hotel do not miss this. Food could be better and more could be made in the evening for guests, loved the peaceful it provided
Very nice hotel! Excellent restaurant, but more pricy than in town. Very friendly staff! Breakfast available with fresh fruit, different choice of eggs, pancakes, waffles etc. Nice svimmingpool as well. Be aware that this it is steep surroundings, not suitable for wheelchair or disabled persons.
Beautiful stay. Staff very attentive, smiley and welcoming nothing was any trouble. Enormous room, very comfortable bed and pillows, looking over infinity pool with incredible see view and sunsets looking out to Koh Nang Yuan Island. Taxi boat available for day trip from hotel. Food excellent.
Only negative was food and drinks very pricey compared to anywhere else we have stayed with an additional service charge and tax of 17% added to your bill
Best service in Thailand. Extremely friendly personal and helpful front desk.
The surroundings is extraordinary even though you can tell the pandemic took its toll on the condition of the resort.
All in all, this is a super resort. Try and book here while it’s still overcomable prices.
Hotel was beautiful, some repairs needed. Could make more use of the food areas difficult to walk to bottom daily. Transport was unsafe and overloaded. Staff at hotel were outstanding thank you.
The snorkelling was better than any trip we went on just off the hotel saw sea snakes plus loads other fish thought I was in a tank brilliant

Great potential, not quite there yet
A site with absolutely amazing potential, and was probably great pre-covid. Unfortunately still lots of renovation left to do. Parts of the staff were super lovely though! Will come back, but will probably give it another year of recovery first. Adding a picture from the bathroom just to paint a picture.
View was spectacular and that’s their primary value but you can tell that even in one of their “best” rooms (private villa directly on the ocean) conditions were poor and property wasn’t well maintained or were still undergoing major renovations.
AC was very weak and insulation was poor. The room had a lot of wear and tear marks on most furniture that made overall vibe of the villa feel dirty/unclean. Doors didn’t feel very secure including the gate and we had two tourists just randomly walk into our private villa area for pictures even though it was labeled private area.
Villa to our right was under major renovation as well as a lot of areas in the resort which gave everything an incomplete vibe. Lots of construction materials, waste, debris laying in view for key guest areas. The advertised private pool for our villa was broken and when staff tried to fill it, extremely murky yellow water ended up filling the pool with no chlorine which meant we couldn’t use it.
We only stayed for one night, but one night is more than enough to take in the spectacular views. Far better quality and comfortable stays in comparable properties on the island.

The staff was very friendly and the resort itself was very nice and pretty, but everything around it was not well thought out.
Most problematic was the water preassure in the shower, it almost felt like a joke. It took me almost 2 minutes just to get my hair wet. The electricity gave out surprisingly often. The bathroom door doesn't offer any privacy and the sink was built so badly it was nearly impossible to use.
Ordering anything in the resort was expensive even in resort standards. I understand such places are expensive, but it was above the norm. And to top that they charge you 10% service and 5% card fee.
