Koh Tao Royal Resort

David said, "Amazing views from our hillside bungalow. Simple, traditional Thai style, which is what we wanted. Not sure what would have happened if it rained as we could see specks of light through the woven roof.We thought it was a bit expensive when we booked compared to other accomodation, but wouldn t have missed it and would have helpful."

Tracey said, "The bungalow I comfortable, thankyou! The staff were very friendly and quite cheeky! The views to the beach were lovely and the water lovely to swim in. Thanks so much!"

Lisa said, "I would not recommend the deluxe rooms as they are located up the hill & up the stairs. Also the bathroom is accessible via very steep stairs/ladder. We also had a snake in our room. The staff however are friendly & did move us following the discovery of the snake."

mirsad said, "bungalow was lung to sleep sometimes is the cradle of the issues between the residents if you you like big lizards to sleep with you in the room, the bungalow was for expensive, we think, is not recommended, staff only ok, not a good place for bathers"

Tom said, "Excellent in everyway. Comfortable rooms, great food, location is very close to the ferry drop so you can walk to it. Very friendly staff and two very funny children up to some mischief."

Ian said, "Nice place at the quiet end of the beach. Facilities were good if a little overpriced compared to other places. You pay for the quiet atmosphere, away from the party bars, and a decent nights sleep. 5 mins walk from the main shops in Mae Had."

Petra said, "Really nice place. Nice bungalow on the hill, with a great view.Quiet location but only a few minutes walk to town. Nice and helpfull staff."

Michael said, "although fairly basic huts this place is great! do not go if expecting 5* facilities - this is basic thai island accomodation at it s best. the restaurant looks out onto the harbour and has small beach area and incredibly clear water great for snorkelling. The guys that run this place are super friendly and a real good laugh. the food they do is top notch and it is minutes walk into the main part of mae haad. the huts are spacious and in great gardens - big walks up hills though - and our balcony had a great view!! would recommend to everyone!!! cheers guys for a great stay"

Ekaterina said, "Location is very good for adult people (I mean no parties near your window). Several small beautiful beaches are in a short walking distanse. Stuff is extremely friendly. Fan bungalow is simple but OK for this money. It sits in the garden, so you never feel hot.We were planning to stay 8 nights, but the owners now have a taxi service. They are nice poeple. Ko Tao is a great place to visit."

Brendan said, "Absolutely fantastic. We very comfortable. We had a hillside room and enjoyed many a evening sitting in the hammock admiring the fantastic view. The only critisism would be the lighting in the room at night is a bit dim, but they do have 24 hr electricity. Naturally, they are not the most luxurious rooms on the island but the value is amazing. We were much more comfortable here.The real charm of this hotel is the staff. They were so friendly and would welcome our hungover faces with a smile and a great breakfast every morning. The location is great, not too busy but not too quiet. They even have their own taxi service to get you to the hard to reach beaches.Keep up the good work guys."

Mark said, "Not the best at all. There was no hot water and the fan was useless. The surroundings are nice and the beach out the front good for swimming. However if you want to be close to the main beach and restuarants do not stay here. Reccommend View Cliff resort."

Glenn said, "We had a terrible stay at this resort!!! We paid the 1900bht per night before we arrived which was a big mistake. The room was nothing like those advertised...there were holes in the floor and the front door, the drain in the shower did not work, the room stank of stale smoke and there where electrical wires hanging all around the place. When we spoke to the manager/owner about this he became very irate and irrational. After a long arguement he refused to refund our money. He then phoned Sawadee and argued with them. We ended up staying in another resort in a room that was 10 times better for 700bht a night less!"

Christopher said, "The owner (can t remember his name) was a top guy, in terms of services you get what you pay for. Nice bungalow on the hill, basic, quiet location but only a few minutes walk to town."

Michelle said, "A very big disapointment. I didn t feel it was worth the money we had paid, especially when I saw the next place we it was dangerous getting to the bungalow . We hoping no one was looking when you went to the loo which was raised to almost window height! The resort wasn t great. Admittedly, its low season but the streets were a mess with construction and rubbish. Due to recent bad weather and the beach being the entry point for the ferries & catamarans, the water quality was poor and we couldn t do the snorkelling we had hoped for. The place was just a disapointment and poor value for money so despite paying in advance for 3 nights, we left after only one and headed back to Samui."

Frank said, " comfortable bungalows. No garbage behind the corners of the bungalows. Restaurant offers a great variety of delicious Thai and Western food direct at the best part of Hae Haad Beach. Friendly stuff and thanks for the best pancakes in town for our children."

Anna said, "Since the house was built on wodden pillars it felt a bit unstable. It was nice to spend the eavning on the porch. The restaurant was not very good. Close to the main street and diving centers."

Louise said, "The location was fabulous, close to the best bars, restaurants and dive centres. This hotel is like staying at a friends house! The family atmosphere is relaxing, as is the well kept clean and secluded beach. The family that run this hotel attended to our every need while on the island and were very friendly. The ocean view villa added to the whole island experience. You can take a shower on the decking and look out to fantastic views. However, you made want to stock up on candles/ torches as the amount of light is limited."
