The facility is very new and modern, looking really nice. The staff is extraordinary and amazing! The y carry the bags for you to your room, you get room cleaning and water bottles every day. Scooter rental is also possible and fair priced! They pick you up and return you to the pier for free, which is also amazing. All in all, the staff is really exceptional and I can only highly recommend this place. It’s modern, nice, extremely clean and has a very good location with some good restaurants around. Everything else can be reached with a scooter. Would definitely come again if prices remain stable. Thank you very much for hosting me on Koh Tao!

I had a wonderful stay at the Mar Ozo Hotel. The girls at reception were so nice, kind, and extremely helpful, which made check-in a very pleasant experience. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained, with a really nice bathroom and very comfortable beds. The air conditioning worked perfectly, and there was always hot water available. I also appreciated the little details like water in the fridge and being well taken care of while waiting for the room to be ready. Overall, an excellent stay – highly recommended!

Everything about shiva lodge is incredible, its a newly opened accommodation. The houses are incredible, everything is perfect. From waking up to birds chirping and having a coffee on ur balcony. The area (garden) is well mantained. Although they dont serve breakfast they give fresh coffee/water and bananas every morning. They even decorated the bedroom for my boyfriends birthday, even gave a breakfast voucher as a gift. The staff is amazing! Nothing was too much. They can also provide laundry service / scooter rental. Also they can pick up up from the pier for free

Mae, Gem (hope I've gotten the spelling correct) and the staff are super friendly and very hospitable. They are always ready to assist whenever needed. Mae and Gem will give advise on things to do and where to eat. Location is perfect. It's by the beach and only a few minutes walk from Lomphraya Pier.and adjacent to the Songsern Pier. Restaurants, bars and convenience shops are a few minutes walk away. Full sunset view from the property when there are no clouds. Property rents out scooter. Good size decent clean room. Toilet a little small though. Bed is comfortable. Air con is super cold. Wifi works perfectly. Lots of power outlet in the room. Room could have included a few hangers. There is a small rear balcony.

Best hotel during our Thailand holiday. Friendly and helpful staff. Large and clean room. Excellent location 5 mins drive or 20 mins walk from the pier. They also refer to a very professional taxi driver Mr Koh who provides fair rates and is very responsive. The cafe offers tasty breakfast options and the best coffee on the island. Staff always has a smile.

    We read countless reviews before booking our 20-night stay at The Montra Resort, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice! The pool was huge and clean, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was plentiful, with a wide variety of options that changed slightly each day, keeping it fresh and exciting. Everything was beautifully presented, making it the perfect way to start each morning. The gym was also a nice bonus. It was clean and always empty when we were there. Our room was on the ground floor with direct walk-out access to the pool, and the air-conditioning kept the space refreshingly cool. The bed, made by joining two double beds, was the ideal firmness for us—spacious and incredibly comfortable. We often found ourselves reluctant to leave! The location was perfect: quiet and tucked away from the hustle and bustle, yet within a short and easy walk to the main town or Sairee Beach. This made it wonderfully central. The resort grounds were beautifully maintained. We always loved returning home through the beautiful lobby entrance. And, while the beach itself may not be the most picturesque on the island, the sunsets were breathtaking, and the area was always kept clean. We can’t wait to return and share this amazing experience with friends and family. After considering so many other options before booking, The Montra Resort ticked all of our boxes and then exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!

    The best place to stay in Thailand! Really beautiful resort with ocean views everywhere, and the water was crystal clear blue, and so many fishes and corals to see when you snorkel! The bed was so comfy, the architecture was beautiful, and the food of the restaurant was so yummy. It wasn't so expensive - around 160 baht for a Pad Thai and 180 baht for 4 big mozarella sticks. There was also a pool and the staff were so outstanding. The service was really top notch, the hotel trains them well. Will highly recommend!

    Koh Tao is still one of the few raw escapes in Thailand in my opinion, its divers and back packers heaven. However as a father with 2 kids in my forties i absolutely loved it. If you step away from the busy areas and off the beaten track you can find amazing coves and hiden gems still. The tourism all over the world has killed so much of our wildlife and reefs. The locals are definitely trying to do all they can to save it. Brilliant food, amazing views and a fun island.

    We loved Koh Tao.

    We loved Koh Tao. Sairee beach is a great area but you can stay anywhere and still have access as it's such a small island. We took a boat trip out to the island for snorkelling which was fab. Don't book in advance. Go onto the beach and haggle with the locals to take you over as it works out so much cheaper especially if you are a family. Highly recommend breakfast at Mango Garden...go hungry!! All In all a beautiful island and great for families as not too crazy busy!
