Tanote Villa resort, Koh-Tao

Everything was perfect ! The staff was really nice and helpful. Great pools, sunbeds always available. Big room with fresh water everyday !

This place was so nice. Very clean, pools were awesome, beach was very very nice and restaurants was great!! Staff look after you well with renting bikes free shuttle bus and free snorkels.

Shower wasn’t great and no supermarket/ convenience stores with in a walking distance

Staff was friendly and Snorkelling was amazing

Mosquitoes

The main advantage is the location. Away from the crowded parts of the island, and beautiful place with the best beach on the island (even though it's a 5 minute walk, it's worth it, and the walk is amazing, through the bushses. The pool is wonderful. Beautiful with a great view and nice size.

We stayed at the garden villas, so maybe some if our issues may not be relevant to other rooms. The advantage of the relatively secluded area has to be calculated against the fact there is no Bolt or Grab on the island, and the hotel shuttle is really limited. You can hire a bike, but the roads of the island are not easy to drive, and for inexperienced drivers, it could be quite challenging. Taxis on the island are 500/600 thb for each drive. So you need to take it into your considerations. The breakfast was quite limited, but we thought it was enough. The bar is also quite limited, but it wasn't bad. The facility itself is quite old. The rooms are rundown and the bathroom are not as clean as should be desired. The hotel is located within the woods, so animals and bugs are everywhere. We didn't mind (as long as they stayed out of the room), but unfortunately in one of our rooms there were ants coming out of the tap in the bathroom.... Also, our cabins were located comfortably near the pool, but the price was the smell of sewage, theat was really strong (coming from the opposite pool's plumbing). Also, The shower gel and the shampoo had terrible smell. Finally, the staff maintaining the rooms and the dinning room was nice enough and helpful, but the fronte desk's personnel were less accommodating and quite rigid (for example, we asked for a late checkout, to be able to synchronize with shuttle to the pier and despite the fact this was a readily available option in Booking, they refused).. The front desk itself works limited hours and the only way to contact them was through WhatsApp (that didjt work), and is unavailable during the night. Very strange. Overall, we would not recommend this hotel.
