Sairee View Resort is a beautiful place. The view is amazing, rooms are clean and comfortable, facilities are great & all organised really well. Unfortunately we didn’t read enough reviews and didn’t realise it was on a steep hill therefore we needed bikes which we weren’t willing to rent. Completely our fault, I’ve forgotten the guys name but a lovely Canadian guy welcomed us and explained thoroughly how everything worked. He offered to show us how to ride the bikes however we personally didn’t want to. Was the warmest welcome we’ve had since being in Thailand. 100% recommend this accommodation if you have a bike!

Nothing!

Beautiful views and helpful staff. They helped me with the scooter and with laundry and other questions I had throughout the stay. Would recommend for a couple or someone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of Sairee beach.

You NEED a scooter- you cannot get around without it. I learned on the island by the host who was patient and kind and made me feel confident enough to go out. Mostly no traffic around the hotel but there is a steep ascent and people walking in the middle of the street at night by Sairee beach. Otherwise doable if you’re confident on a scooter or on a bike and want to learn.

The view is spectacular especially if one is into constellation watching. The north end of the island is very quiet and less populated, in the night one can see even the smallest stars

The road up is difficult but manageable if you drive carefully and dont mess up

Loved the location. Out of town, stunning view, peace and quiet. Our room was well appointed. Bed was comfy and not hard as we find throughout Thailand. There is a big common patio both covered and then not which has the stunning views, flowers, birds, and breakfast (only meal service) starting at 8 am. Beer, pop, water and a few snacks are available anytime on the honour system. They rent scooters at a fair/competitive price. Much appreciated! It’s approximately 12-15 minutes to get to the main junction of Sairee Beach in a car or scooter. A walk would run you 25 minutes. There’s a big hill on your way back but it’s doable. Staff very helpful, friendly, attentive but not omnipresent. You feel taken care of and left to chill.

Loved everything. A second pillow would have been even better.

We stayed in the tent and we really enjoyed it. You have some privacy, the tent is very well adjusted (it has electricity, upper light, a fan, electric splitter and an outside table with 2 chairs) and there is a nice sea view. We also enjoyed the swimming pool during the hot days. The owner is veeery friendly and has good recommendations. Breakfast was just fine and in good price. It's not so close to the town, so it's more quiet and chilled.

One of the inflatable mattresses had less air and even after adding some it lost it - maybe worth checking for a leak. Also, it's a steep walk up, definitely better to rent a scooter when staying here.

Wonderful stay. The host was amazing and the atmosphere was so calm and collected around that hotel. The place is so underrated and the pictures do not do great justice! Definitely needs better pictures because it was beautiful! We did not expect much but it exceeded our ecpectations so much! The host gives you greatest advice about the island, and you can even rent bikes there. You can buy all the necessary stuff there like water, and snacks, if needed. The view is amazing and the pool is great! They even let us stay by the pool after checkout to wait for the transfeer for a few hours and hold onto our things.

The only thing you need to be aware of is the road up there is a bit tricky and out of date.

Very nice little resort with about 10 rooms, the facilities were great. It is located on a hill although you get an amazing sunset view and you are overlooking the bay. You can rent a scooter from the resort and it will make your time in Koh Tao so much more fun! Everywhere is reachable in 5-10 minutes on the scooter and there isn't too much traffic here compared to Samui, Krabi, Phuket. The managers are awesome, they will help you out with anything you need and even have a chat with you. Highly recommend! Would stay here again.

Nothing! If you are not comfortable riding a scooter, this isn't the place for you, unless you would like to go on some long walks. Koh Tao is a good place to learn how to ride a scooter, the streets are fairly quiet and everything is close. The main town is about a 2 minute ride from the hotel!

Stayed in the family room (Room 0). Room had both fan and AC. The AC worked well and the bed was very comfortable. The rooms are set far back from the main road and very quiet. There was a well-equipped kitchen area with a fridge and a small gas range that worked well for cooking simple meals. The wifi was fast and reliable. Beautiful pool. The resort is a bit of a hike from Sairee Beach and up a steep hill so I would recommend renting a motorbike unless you are looking to get a lot of exercise. Staff was friendly and helpful. Recommended.

The rooms and pool are great value for money. The view is also great. It’s a good location if you are going to rent a scooter, only a couple minutes to the main area. You can rent scooters from them, book activities and travel out of the island. They also offer a breakfast for an additional price. There are some simple foods like cup noodles and Pringles to buy as well as some beers and other drinks. The owners were really helpful with information about the island, told us good places to go and places to avoid.

If you don’t want to rent a scooter, you will either have to walk up and down a big steep hill or spend money for taxis everyday (taxis here are more expensive than other places in thailand). There was no free drinking water. We also asked to borrow a spoon since we had bought some yogurts from 7/11 for breakfast, but they wouldn’t let us use a spoon unless we bought a meal. That seemed a bit extreme

Great place to stay. Epic views (especially for the sunset), really nice pool & bar area to eat meals, have a few drinks and chill out. Andrew and Peay are fantastic and really made our stay brilliant. Andrew was able to recommend dive centres, beaches for snorkelling, best times of day to go and sorted snorkel hire and moped hire for us at a price that felt so reasonable. Sorted taxis for us to and from the ferry port (no rip off commission added) and the room was great - large, powerful aircon and great balcony.

Like the rest of the island, you need a moped to get there. It’s a 25 min walk from Sairee Beach and the final hill is very steep. Would be tiring after a day at the beach! But you can’t really get around Koh Tao without a moped so anyway so wasn’t a problem for us. You do need some confidence on a moped on the first few goes up the hill.
