Tao Thong Villa 2

We arrived and where very warm welcomed by the owners who instantly showed us the villa. We also got a upgrade to a bigger villa at the beach which was new and prepared very well

Perfect remote place to go snorkeling from the hôtel beach itself. We spent 5 days with out 6 and 8yo and we had a great time. Snorkles and some old water shoes are available on site (needed to get into the water). It’s a paradise if you like quietness and being away from the busy pier of Koh Tao. The staff is very kind and the restaurant has lots of options (Thai and some fast food as well) and the view is absolutely amazing.

The alcohol options are very limited beyond beers. If you need to do any purchase or want to go to another bar or restaurant you will need to take a taxi or rent a scooter. I wouldn’t have gone with kids that are not good swimmers as the enjoyable swimming is away from the beach (full of corals).

Amazing quiet location, with superb views, authentic thai food and great snorkelling just off the beach.

This is the perfect location if you have a scooter! It’s out of the way so it’s a lot quieter and more peaceful. It’s on a perfect private beach area that is perfect for swimming and snorkeling. They provide free snorkeling gear and kayaks which is a rarity!! The snorkeling is beautiful here and we didn’t even feel the need to go to any other beaches on the island (we tried but none compared!!). You also can walk towards Tao thong villa 1 (they are connected by a cute walkway by the beach) and climb up on top of the rocks to watch a gorgeous sunset. The staff is so friendly and was very accommodating for us to store our luggage there and even provided a poncho for the rain. There is also an old cat that stays there and is adorable. We did not eat at the restaurant but I’m sure it’s great! The views from our room was fantastic, cannot be beaten!!

If you book the rooms with fans, just be prepared for it to be hot! If you don’t have a problem with sleeping without AC, then you will be fine. Leave the bathroom open and it will cool off in the middle of the night, it will just be pretty hot when you are trying to fall asleep.
