Best Four Star Hotels in Koh Tao

We had a great stay at Tarna Align. The staff are so LOVELY, every single one of them, especially to my little girl. It is a little uphill, but it is worth it for the views - the little golf buggy/tuk tuk is great for taking you up and down to the main strip and we found it was always out and about and we would just jump on and off it. We got a great room with a huge balcony. It was clean and huge. Breakfast was really good, the man at the egg station was lovely and I liked the way you could order coffees, their fresh smoothies were delicious. Although a little uphill from the main strip I really think you would struggle to get this quality of hotel for the price. Would recommended.

The view is really nice. There were a lot of reviews about bugs, so I brought cockroach repellent and a home mat, but luckily I didn't see the cockroaches, and it was pretty clean and nice! The beach in the back is really really good for snorkeling! The food at Uncle Restaurant in front is also very delicious overall! If you like french fries, be sure to try french fries. Really crispy in the world!!! But the service is a bit vague. At 1:30, there was a pick-up bus from the ferry side, so I waited, but he didn't come, I called, but it kept saying it was the wrong number (the number found on Trip.cup and Naver search) and the ferry attendant waited at 2 o'clock but waited to be able to get on at 2:10. They said that when they came at 2:30, they said it was going to depart at 3 o'clock.. I got on the bus right after the protest, but waited for an hour. For reference, here, a 5-minute walk costs 200 baht and a 10-minute drive costs 400 baht. Also, when I rented snorkeling equipment, the info said it was $100, but the info said it was $1000, so the info said it was $100. Then they told me to pay 200 dollars for two people, but later I found out that if it's 1000 dollars, it's a deposit and 100 dollars is just a loan. (No refunds + no equipment purchases) I took this place on purpose because it was free to rent. It was a bit disappointing that the information was not properly provided and the time was not kept well, but the view is so good that if I go again next time, I want to stay at this hotel. I stayed for 2 nights, but on the last day, the air conditioner broke down, so I couldn't fix it for a long time, so I had to move to the next room.

Very nice typical residence, ps hotel's restaurant Thai food is delicious, not confusing

Very nice hotel, super value for money, going out at 100 meters outside the beach at 3 in the afternoon is still very shallow (need beach shoes) suitable for snorkeling, breakfast is good!

Hotel was beautiful. Snorkeling off the beach was pretty good, small sharks, turtles, tropical fish. The beach was busier than expected. Hotel is removed from hubbub but beach is public and well used. Hotel has basic shuttle service to main area. Hotel rooms would benefit from in room sitting.

Location is great! You can walk on the beach in a few minutes into life. Nice beach tent holders and restaurants. Shopping is a bit disappointing and there is nothing like a night market. With the hotel's shuttle bus you can go to the pier 3 times a day for free. Staff is very friendly, help you with everything. Staying at the beach is wonderful! The sea is nice and calm, good to lie in or swim. The pool is poorly maintained. Broken tiles and dirty water, a shame because this can be a wonderful place if you (and we actually) are less from the beach. We stayed in the deluxe villa. Large ”house”, with large bathroom and large balcony where the bats like to hang from the roof in the evening. These do nothing, except to shit on the balcony… The bed is very hard. Asked for a topper which wasn't a problem but rather a mattress protector so flimsy and it didn't really do anything. The breakfast is not exciting, we mainly had breakfast outside in life, with more choice than egg and toast.

The scenery is super beautiful. If you open the window, you can see the blue sea. Even the shit is smooth. The scenery is so good that the room facilities are okay. The location is too far away. It is suitable for traveling together. He is an independent villa small enough to live for two people and large enough for ten people to see how you choose the room type. There is a free car transfer to the pier and a private snorkeling area. There is no free for such expensive hotels. Breakfast makes me speechless, everything else is fine, I should go again next time

The private room was clean, the bed was massive, the shower was hot, aircon worked really well and I appreciated the little balcony! You can borrow a helmet for free and snorkelling masks. They provided a handy link to advice around the island, its not super detailed but a good starting point. Summer Cafe next door is a lovely place to relax. It's a 10 min walk to Sairee Beach, and you go past great food spots, like 995 duck and near to LivingJuices Yoga (best smoothie bowls). The rooftop terrace never had anyone on it, there are some tables and chairs and is a perfect spot to have some quiet time. 4 out of 5 stars because the kitchen area is tiny, not particularly clean, and the shower handle and towel rail were broken in my room. A friend and I both stayed (1 private room, 1 dorm) and neither found Summer super sociable, but it's a good base to explore Sairee and meet people on the Hostelworld app.

I absolutely cannot recommend the hotel. The hotel was probably closed for 4 years and reopened in December 2023. It is in very bad condition. The rooms are outdated, the facility is dirty and still under construction. Building materials are flying everywhere. We didn't have a cow at first. We booked the chalet/bungalow. We had to leave the chalet we had booked immediately upon arrival because the smell was very strong. The lady at the hotel said that the paint had been freshly painted the day before. Here I ask myself why this is even offered to guests. After waiting for over an hour we got a room in a low category, we were once again negatively surprised. The air conditioning didn't cool down properly, there was no refrigerator in the room, no safe, no hairdryer, no shower enclosure in the bathroom. The equipment is very old. The TV does not work. There are no cupboards in the room to store clothes. The single bed is right next to the double bed & not separate with a partition in the room as booked in the chalet. The hotel complex is also horrible. Everything is still under renovation. Unfortunately, this was not noted anywhere by booking. There are several construction workers walking around. There is building material everywhere. The facility itself is very littered. Just like the pool. The pool bar & restaurant empty. There are no pool towels. Just like the pool. The pool bar & restaurant empty. There are no pool towels. The breakfast was inedible. After we slept in the hotel for one night, we were once again negatively surprised after our trip. The room wasn't even cleaned. No fresh towels. After my complaint, a lady came who wanted to clean our room. Unfortunately that was too late as we had to leave again. The staff at the hotel are very nice, but they cannot help us with the above-mentioned deficiencies. This hotel corresponds to a maximum of a 1-2 star hotel & not a 4 star hotel as described in booking. The renovation would have to be completed before this could be offered to guests.

If you're looking for a place to stay in Koh Tao, look no further than Monkey Flower Villas. My family and I had an incredible experience there. From the attentive and friendly service of Muhammed and Steve to the clean and well-maintained rooms, we were thoroughly impressed. The property is kept in great shape, thanks to the hard work of the staff, including two lovely ladies. And having Steve as our driver was a huge plus - taxis in Koh Tao can be expensive, but with Steve, we always had a reliable ride. Despite the language barrier, my dad enjoyed chatting with Steve, who even helped us manage our boat back to Surah Thani and gave us great advice on local restaurants. We can't wait to return and stay in one of the bigger villas with bigger pools and breathtaking views. Trust me, you won't be disappointed with your stay at Monkey Flower Villas.
