"Loved this resort! The staff was great, wonderful spa, and the restaurant was really good (try the smoked duck salad ❤️). We will definitely go back next trip to Thailand."
"We stayed in the room in front of the sea. The room had glass thru both bedroom, view was amazing. Bathroom needs more cleaning on tiles...but the place was still very nice and I would definitely stay there again and forgot to mentioned: it's quite!!!"
"This is the most spectacular location I have ever seen. Located on an outcrop, there are opportunities to swim on both sides so that if it’s windy on one side, you can just go to the other side where it’s protected.
The snorkelling is second to none. Just tipping your face into the ocean for a moment you see multiple brightly coloured fish and pushing off from there is like an underwater aquarium. We snorkel to the next bay and back with ease.
After so much Thailand, tourist intensity this feels like an absolute sanctuary. We took advantage of the things that were offered on site like Mui, Thai classes, and yoga and the gym and enjoyed the breakfast and the resorts restaurant.
Ice bath was a treat and the pool is colder than the ocean, which is a rare treat on a hot day.
We use the scuba diving refresher course on site, and then went scuba diving the next day.
We are staying in a superior room and our balcony overlook the bay that everybody is trying to get to either by boat or by car. It is on our doorstep. The room is great. They bottle their own water, there are solar panels everywhere and they have really made an effort to be environmentally friendly.
We like this place so much that we extended our trip by a few days.
Yes, this place is a little bit far out of the way, but there’s a shuttle to Surrey Beach multiple times a day. Highly recommended."
"We had a great stay at the Haad Tien, well worth the long journey from the United States. The property is beautiful, the staff were so genuinely kind and attentive, and our villa had an amazing view. We will be back!"
"I couldn't suggest a better place to stay in Koh Tao. Our room was clean, spacious, and very well located to the rest of the town. The pool was big, beautiful and photogenic too.
The area was a quick 7 minute walk from the main part of town, which was perfect for us as we wanted to avoid too much foot traffic and noise while still being close.
The most amazing part of our stay was the staff. We were so well taken care of, and were able to book all of our excursions (hikes, snorkelling, drives/commute) through the front desk. I genuinely think this is the best place to stay in downtown Koh Tao. Will 1000% be coming back!"
