The Dearly Koh Tao Hostel-Padi 5 Star Dive Resort

Chalok Baan Kao Koh Tao|0.3km from Buddha View Travel
THE BEST HOSTEL I STAYED AT IN THAILAND. Apologies for shouting, but I had an incredible experience of staying in the Dearly hostel. Hostel/Dorms: I stayed for a week in a female dorm which I would recommend - sheets changed every 3 days, new towels available daily if needed, clean and nice smelling space, and comfortable beds that were not bunk beds. Modern and fresh decor with partitions between beds for more privacy. Such a simple and smart solution! Lovely and friendly cleaning ladies as well:)) The hostel itself surrounded by palm trees; I would definitely recommend to check out their common space on the 3rd floor (pictures attached). Shared Bathroom: clean, modern and nicely smelling bathrooms with shampoo and soap provided in the showers. Diving: I did the PADI open water course organised via dear hostel. As I was staying for a week the hostel offers a good deal for the accommodation combined with diving. The big advantage is a deep swimming pool at the hostel where you can practise diving skills before going into the open water. The swimming pool itself was great - they use salt instead of chlorine, which is both appreciated for the skin and hair. I would definitely recommend the diving instructor we had - Fam - who made us feel comfortable and ready to move from the swimming pool to open water diving. When speaking with other people staying in the hostel they also had a very positive experience with their diving instructors. Social: the hostel organised daily activities which were written on the blackboard in the lobby. I have not participated in many as I have been diving/studying for diving at the time, but it sounded like a good opportunity to meet other ppl. Personally, I made the most connections in my dorm bed and during breakfasts:) really great people and smiley faces with people wanting to be approachable. For partying we were going to the Sairee beach part of the island. This is not a party hard hostel, but it had a very good atmosphere of pre-drinks before going out and having a beer with some friends. Staff: very helpful, attentive and accommodating staff. Good email communication as well:) Breakfast: served 7-10 am; very useful to have it in the hostel when doing morning dives; everyday breakfast included toast, pancakes, fruit in coconut milk, and a rice/rice noodle dish. This was the first hostel breakfast I could eat in Thailand as I have food allergies and the rice/rice noodle dish was always very tasty. I recommended this hostel to three of my travel friends & all really enjoyed their stay here. For me, there is no other hostel alternative on Koh Tao ;) definitely will be back for another diving session! Thank you!

Chalok Baan Kao
The Paradise Koh Tao Resort I was saying to my daughter how, for me, a 5 star hotel is not just about the quality of the room or building or the food or even the staff. It’s about the overall experience. Value for money, comfort, fun. We were met at the pier with our cases carried for us to a songthaews. We were met at the grand hotel by Koko who explained that there was a power cut. No electricity but he was smiling and so sincere it was not a problem for us. We were walked to our room by Koko and a colleague. They carried our cases. The room was just being finished with cleaning and we went into the massive room with a double and single bed. No AC because of power cut. It was funny with Koko explaining to us how it worked without being able to show us. My daughter and I then went to the pool which was absolutely amazing. We had the whole pool to ourselves for the afternoon. An elderly Thai couple came and we took some pictures for them. Then a German (or South African) couple. The pool and area was big enough that we weren’t in each others way. Able to relax, peace and have fun. We then ordered some ice cream and when the electricity came on we then ordered lunch; an omelette, a coconut chicken soup and red curry. It was absolutely delicious! (About 600BAHT). My daughter then showered and I had a bath on the balcony! Yes, a bath on the balcony, Bubbles bowing down the street. it was amazing! We then went down to the lobby and were driven free of charge into Koh Tao. We had a wonderful time in Koh Tao which is really alive again since covid. We then paid 500B for a cab back. We slept in the beautiful air conditioned room. The following morning we had breakfast (250B each) and were served again by Su (who was always helpful and smiling). There were other staff members (Myanmar) we didn’t get their names but thank you to them as well. Everyone was smiling, friendly, trying their best and running around for us. We then went on a snorkelling tour and when we came back went to our room which had been spotlessly cleaned with fresh towels etc. We then showered and went for dinner inside the restaurant because it was raining outside. For dinner we had Ka Pow (prawns/basil). Red Curry. Sweet and Sour Pork, coconut chicken soup (again). 4 drinks. It cost 870 Baht. The food at this place was probably the best of our entire trip. Unbelievably tasty I wanted to thank the chef. We then went and played a game of pool in the bar and then went back to the room and fell instantly asleep. The following morning a songthaews had been arranged for 8am to take us to the pier. The end! So, the night before we are at Suranthiya Koh Phangan and they are very similar. Only Suranthiya is about £350 per night and this place was about £40. I think in the 1990’s/2000’s this was Koh Tao’s Suranthiya. The place is a little bit old and weathered but it’s grand and fascinating with incredible view points and obvious history. The ambi

Idyllic location and on a good beach, the worst is the garbage on the beach and sea... with some improvements it could be a 10, the breakfast is good, something else! They pick you up at the port upon arrival and give you a 10

Loves this place so much we booked extra nights on Room was cleaned and amenities replaced every day, gorgeous resort, big pool, really comfy beds. There are shops and restaurants near by but I would suggest a bike otherwise the walk into Sairee is very long but only 10 mins on a bike! The hotel rent bikes out and it is very reasonably priced. The hotel also offered a transfer to and from the hotel to the port for free. Great stay Thankyou so much we will be back such value for money !!

June Juea Bay
This hotel on tao island is well distributed and has many layers. The stairs up and down are steep and there is a special car to carry the luggage to the room. The restaurant in the hotel was so good that we went to dinner no less than three times. It's delicious and worth a try. Go straight down the steps to the sea. You can rent life jackets and goggles. You can go snorkeling in the ocean. It's still fun.
The OZO Kohtao

I came to Koh Tao on the Night Boat so I arrived at 6;00 Am. I wasn't expecting help at that time of the morning, but the girl at the reception came to pick me up anyway. She checked me in early so I could get some much needed sleep. Her name was Honey and she went above and beyond on this trip. She also made sure the doctor came quickly to do the Covid check. The doc was here in 10 minutes so I could make my dive trip. She made sure I knew the directions to every place I needed to go. Just amazing service. The hotel was clean and was in pretty good shape for a non western owned hotel. It was located in the middle of the island near the pier but you need a motorbike to get there. They will pick you up if you need that. The pool was nice at the price point. You definitely want to rent a motorbike for this hotel as it is not in walking distance of the beach. I had such a great stay I have already booked my next stay here.
Taatoh Seaview Resort
4/521 Reviews
A couple’s wife’s shop, great experience, super cost-effective, the hotel is located in Shark Bay, the sea view is first-rate, you can go snorkeling directly, I heard from the boss that sharks will come here every sunrise and sunset, so it’s called Shark Bay. The room is a very down-to-earth single-family chalet, very quiet and private. The boss and the wife are very nice. After consulting a lot of questions, they solved them one by one. They picked us up to the dock for free, provided snorkeling equipment, and helped us arrange a great trip. , I personally took my family around the island, and received very caring care during my stay. I like the simplicity of Koh Tao more than the noise of Samui. If you have the opportunity to come to Koh Tao, you must stay here again. I strongly recommend it!
