Great comfort for a diving trip

We really enjoyed our stay at the Tarna. Decent breakfast spread without being overly fancy. The free shuttle to and from town (and to and from the ferry) was greatly appreciated. The onsite dive school was excellent and we had great dives with them. The fact that their equipment is in great condition and they have their own traning pool at the hotel were big pluses. We had a room with its own pool, which we really enjoyed - But be aware that these rooms are all facing onto the construction site next door. I estimate that it will be ongoing for at least another year (we stayed in April 2025). To be fair it wasn't that intrusive, but I think potential guests should know about it.

Loved this hotel! It's a little off the main street so it's nice and quiet at night. The hotel also offers rides up and down the hill to get to the main walking street. Everything at the hotel was wonderful. Room was amazing, view was breathtaking, couldn't have asked for anything more! One tip if you're looking to do a diving course, it's significantly cheaper elsewhere on the island through other diving schools.

We stayed here for a couple nights to experience all Koh Tao had to offer. The steep inclines throughout the hotel's walkways were tough for my gf to navigate and the hotel is far away from the walking streets. However, the shuttle services, consieege and private pools more than made up for it. Our room was huge as well.

Lovely view but poor pool & bathroom issue

PROS: Staying in the villa was a very cool experience and the views were amazing. The bed was also very comfortable and the duvet was great. In addition, the staff were attentive and they would pick us up from our villa to reception in a golf cart for free (steep hill but could easily be walked). CONS: Although we liked the villa, one significant downside was that there wasn’t a proper door on the bathroom (or a roof) meaning that you could hear everything going on in the bathroom in the bedroom. For that reason, it would put me off staying again. We booked a sea view villa so curious to see whether this issue affects the other property types. We had also expected the pool to be much bigger but it’s really quite small. Although there are two public pools, one is used exclusively for diving and there isn’t much space to lounge around the swimming pool. Finally, it is also worth noting that the shuttles to town only run 4 times a day (8:00 / 10:00 / 16:00 / 18:00) and back 5 times day (10:00 / 11:00 / 16:00 / 18:00 / 21:00). Out of hours service is 50 baht per person per journey.

We booked another 4 days at this resort because we liked it so much. The staff were so thoughtful and helpful. They went out of their way to make every guest a beautiful Kratong for us to take to the pier to release into the waves. So beautiful and so thoughtful! Loi Kratong Day On the full moon of the twelfth lunar month, in November, this festival celebrates the release of misfortune. ‘Loi Kratong’ means to float a ‘Kratong’, an object decorated like a lotus bloom which is laid on the water to be carried away, thereby symbolically taking away any bad luck. Respect is also paid to the spirit of the waters. The festival, with live stage performances, is held in the evening at the main pier in Mae Haad. Jonathon, the Divemaster was so personable and friendly. We were not diving this trip but he took the time to carefully explain about different spots to snorkel and how to access them. I believe he would be an excellent Divemaster as he is so encouraging and positive. You will like him. The pool at the resort is specially designed to teach diving. Try it!! I would give the staff full marks! The location is ideal as they offer free shuttle service. We enjoyed the walk up and down !

WARNING - BAD HOTEL

WARNING!!!! We booked this accommodation with the belief of a nice magical hotel with great service that could make a week on Koh Tao fantastic. We booked the room with access to the private pool. The hotel is located a bit up on Koh Tao, which is not a problem and something we really knew. What permeates the entire hotel is a lack of service and caring for its guests. The hotel is not clean, run-down, and lacks attention to detail. The breakfast feels mediocre and the furnishings and surfaces are very basic and not well thought out. The staff is kind but lacks the authority or ability to help and resolve situations. We chose to leave the hotel after 4 days when we found another accommodation due to the island being fully booked. We agreed with the hotel that if they found a new guest for our room, we would get a refund for the remaining nights. Since Koh Tao was fully booked, this should not have been a problem. However, the hotel came up with various excuses for why they couldn't assist us and no compensation was offered. In the end, there are much better hotels on this island. A big warning for this one.

Best hotel on Koh Tao

Fantastic hotel with the nicest staff! We had a villa hillside with a view of the ocean and big balcony. Everything about the accommodation was perfect, really clean and up to date, looked even better than the pictures, really comfortable bed and a big bathroom. Watching the sunset from the balcony was one of the highlights! The food in the restaurant was good and the staff were all so nice and always tried to give the best service possible. Sometimes you could tell that the waiters maybe lacked a bit of experience, however it never bothered us since the were so serviceminded. The hotel being a bit up in the mountain was never a problem either. When renting a scooter (which is recommended no matter where on the island you’re staying) it is a 2 minute ride to the beach with a big parking by the reception. If you do not rent a scooter the hotel offers free rides to and from the beach specific times during the day/night. Outside of this schedule you can pay 50 baht/person (1,5 USD) to go either way and this service is offered 24/7. We also walked both up and down to the beach a few times which was not that bad, without a doubt worth it for that view! Also saw some reviews complaining about rooms being up a hill from the reception. It is literally 2 minute walk to the furthest room and anyone moderately active will have no problem with that, again worth it for the view. If this would be a problem the hotel for free gives you a ride up/down Best hotel in koh tao!

Alt var helt nydelig, men villaen er litt gammel som gjorde at f.eks alt av lys plutselig skrudde seg av og air condition lagde høye lyder, kjøleskapet lagde også mye lyd. Ellers veldig veldig fint. Frokosten var helt grei:)

Der kostenlose Shuttle vom Pier zum Hotel war gut, die Unterkunft vorher aber zu erreichen und eine Bestätigung zubekommen hat mehrere Anläufe gebraucht und erst einen halben Tag vorher geklappt.. das geht definitiv besser. Die Anlage ist weitestgehend in einen guten Zustand. (Jedenfalls unsere Villa und alles bis zum Eingang was wir gesehen haben) Das Personal grüßt immer freundlich und ist sehr zuvorkommend. Vom Hotel bis zum Strand sind es nur ein paar Gehminuten Bergab und es befinden sich einige sehr gute Restaurants in der Nähe. Der Frühstücksraum ist nicht klimatisiert aber das war vollkommen in Ordnung. Das inkl. Frühstück war auch eines der besseren welches wir in Thailand hatten. In der Villa hat uns gestört, dass es zum Bad keinen Vorhang oder ähnliches gab. Auch gab es keinerlei haken um Handtücher aufzuhängen. Positiv zu erwähnen ist auch, dass das Housekeeping ausversehen eines unserer eigenen Handtücher bei der täglichen Reinigung mitgenommen hat und wir anstandslos ein neues Ersatz Handtuch erhalten haben. Der Poolbereich vom Hotel ist relativ klein. Es gibt dort nur sechs liegen und der größere der beiden Pools wird täglich von der Tauchschule genutzt. Es waren jedoch immer liegen frei als wir dort waren. Man kann auch direkt am Hotel Roller für 250 Baht am Tag ausleihen. Alles im allem waren wir zufrieden mit dem Aufenthalt.

The hotel is fabulous, the breakfast is very good. But they should improve the accessibility, there are a lot os stairs and no lift for elderly or people with disabilities. It’s also far from the Sairee beach, they should offer more shuttle times, specially at night.

Very nice experience

We had a pool access room and could not be happier with the room. It was really nice experience. The hotel also has beautiful sea view rooms but we preferred the pool. The breakfast selection could be better, however they have very good coffee, juices and omelet. We would definitely return to this hotel next time in Koh Tao.
