Mango Bay Grand Resort, Koh Tao, Mango Bay
This is a tough comment to write. We have friends who have stayed here and loved it. We had read the comments and decided to book for 4 nights...
...we left after 1.
Apparently locals don t go here during this time of year because of the weather. When there are large waves, longtails can not operate and one has to travel on a very bad road (they are trying to concrete some of the road at the moment).
We eventually arrived and had many steep steps to walk...
We were so disappointed.
The jetty was torn up because of the waves, it was a bit dangerous getting to the restaurant, it looked slightly chaotic, sand bags and building material everywhere, you cant snorkel either (waves very big), no tv, no longtails to get anywhere.
I honestly don t like complaining, but we didn t feel like we were getting what we payed for.
What I would like to add is that the owner is a good guy, he was understanding. He drove us and others to town for free. I am sure Mango Bay can be great, we were just there at the wrong time.
Maybe the hotel should try to compensate with other activities during the rougher seasons. |
The Resort and Your site cooperated for cancellation, thank you... |

Sai Thong Resort, Koh Tao, Sai Nuan
We had booked 3 weeks but stayed 1 night! It is VERY dirty, no clean beds and sheets, not clean toilet and bath, no service in rest. many of the items on themmenu is not available BUT you will get rats and that is IN your room, rude staff ie they dont answer, a beach with a lot of dirt it could be very beautifull if cleaned) so good luck - we will never return |
Very good we got our money back and your site was very helpfull |

Utopia Suites, Koh Tao, Mae Haad
Where to begin!!! Rooms had no power all three days we were there. It would randomly shut off anytime anyone on the second floor turned on the AC. On the first night, we were lounging in what we thought was the lobby, but ended up getting up getting hassled by Tick, the western property owner about how we weren t giving him any business. We ve traveled all over Asia for the past two months and my 4 other friends and I have to say that this is the worst place we have ever stayed. Not only is it over priced, the staff wasn t friendly, and the rooms are far below adequate. Clean, but very basic. I highly suggest for anyone not to stay here! |
Booking was not a problem. |

The hotel is beautiful location and the staff very friendly. We stayed in a fan room no.F5, the room was beautiful with complete seaview. I recommended this room. |

Koh Tao Resort, Koh Tao, Chalok Baan Kao
Het resort ligt in een rustige baai, prachtig uitzicht vanuit de beachbungelow de luxe. Er waren twee grote nadelen; 1. De stank in de kamers. Er was in meerdere kamers van het resort (weet niet of het in ALLE was maar er waren wel meer klachten over) een vieze rioollucht. Deze was vooral s ochtends en s middags erg. Voor zo n duur resort is dit slecht. Was ook niets aan te doen. 2. Het ontbijt was ronduit het slechtste ontbijt wat ik ooit heb gegeten. De keuze was matig maar wat warm moet zijn (zoals spek, eieren, french toast enz) was koud. Heb hierover geklaagd maar is niet op teruggekomen. Het is een duidelijk geval van; het ontbijt zit in de prijs dus die moet zo goedkoop mogelijk zijn. Heel jammer, wij hebben meestal ergens anders ontbeten. Het eten wat je a la card kon bestellen van weer wel heel lekker. Wel wat duur maar goed eten en goede service. Zou niet meer teruggaan naat Ko Tao. het eiland is verpest door het toerisme, zij worden geheel uitgekleed door bijv. de taxies. Mensen zijn alleen vriendelijk tegen je als ze weten dat er geld valt te halen, anders niet. Voorzie dat er over 10 jaar niemand meer komt en de onderwaterwereld compleet dood is. Nu was er al bijna geen mooi stukje om te snorkelen meer te vinden. |

Koh Tao Resort, Koh Tao, Chalok Baan Kao
I don t think it was worth the money. we stayed in the new paradise section on the hill. The pool and dining area were both very nice and gave good views, but the walls of the bedrooms are paper thin, and you can hear lots of noise throughout the night. the lower section of the resort which is on the beach, is a little dated, and the beach is not very nice, as it is more of a bay with lots of boats. the ladies who work on the main reception could do with some training on customer service!! |
very good |

The hotel is very close to the pier. Unless you have alot of luggage, dont let the taxi drivers con you into them driving you because you can just walk out of the building at the pier and turn right and it is a couple minute walk.
The hotel itself is basic, but clean. The a/c worked and the water eventually got hot. The best part of the hotel is the ownership (European owned) and mngmt. I felt they were very honest and you will feel at home there.
Honestly the best place to be on the island is Sairee beach, but I have no complaints about this hotel. |

Mango Bay Grand Resort, Koh Tao, Mango Bay
Ko Tao was an incredible disappointment, primarily for two reasons, 1: the weather was just horrible and 2: Mango Bay Grand Resort. The first was unavoidable it seems and I d suggest that another time of year could be more enjoyable weather-wise. Mango Bay Grand Resort did not make it any better. Nothing was done to make our stay enjoyable. The owner was obnoxious and unaccomodating. Mango Bay Grand Resort resembled a ruined paradise construction site, partly due to weather damage suggesting opening on December 20th was mistaken. I believe that the owner was aware of this but didn t care. No electricity for most of the waking hours, poorly-stocked kitchen and bar, over-priced food, complete and utter desert island feel as it inaccessible most of the time due to the weather leaving you with nothing to do. Mango Bay Grand Resort was anything but grand. I would not recommend supporting this resort. |
Quick and easy! |

Mango Bay Grand Resort, Koh Tao, Mango Bay
We stayed in the ocean view room which was fantastic. The restaurant/deck is also great and the whole bay is very beautiful. Unfortunately the place is difficult to get to, we got dropped off on a dirt road but had hotel staff help us carry luggage. Taxi boats are an option but only when the weather is good. There s no real beach and getting into and out of the sea from the makeshift pier can be pretty danderous. Italian owner was friendly and helpful and has big plans to add on. Will be an amazing place in the near future. Staff were excellent. |
