Hotels near Shark Island

"Amazing beautiful spot in Shark Bay. We stayed many years ago as well but in the beach club. The only issue we had was we paid extra for the Beach Villa, they let Day guests into the resort & the unit style Beach club people come & sit right in front of your beach view. I know 1st world problems but people don't care and "

"Fab place and yes there all lots of steps but we knew that before we booked - and it was fine . The 2 bed villa with private pool was amazing ! Staff were so lovely and couldn’t do enough for us . "

"We love Ban's. We always stay here when on Tao. Great rooms, pools, staff and service "

"Loved that we could easily access the two fun areas of the island!"

"It is a beautiful resort amazing food a big variety to order and very well priced accommodation is excellent the snorkeling is the best on the island "

"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."

"Villas were well maintained. Food was good. View was lovely from the patio. The whole resort was well maintained. Access to Taatoh private beach and Freedom Beach (50 baht to visit if not staying at the resort). Staff was friendly. Stayed here 9 nights and would return. Scooter rental available onsite - likely to get charged for minor scrapes and dings upon return. The cash deposit (chose this instead of leaving passport with them) was 7000 baht and got maybe 1000 baht back. "

"Absolutely amazing stay all around. The property is quiet and I would say one of the nicest beaches on Koh Tao. Incredible snorkeling right off the beach - clams, Christmas tree worms, pufferfish, starfish, reef sharks, plenty of other fish and coral, great service at the restaurant, very good prices for food, massages and other services."

"Fantastic 3 night stay with my wife and two teenagers. We arrived late on the first night, but the fired the kitchen back up for us. The views were to die for. Free pick up from ferry, free breakfast, free use of snorkelling equipment, helped us with booking excursions. They even helped us when we had broken our hired scooter!"
