Blue Tao Beach Hotel

Great hotel right on the beach front and in a great location with all the main resturants, bars and shops on your door step. Would definitely stay here again when heading back to Koh Tao.

This hotel looked nothing like the pictures the beach is a public beach .ideal for young people !! Music blasting all day and night from the pub next door ,if you like to party this hotel is ideal ,motor scooters run out side the hotel day and night also hotel provide ear plugs ,breakfast terrible if want extra cup of coffee you after pay

Booked a beachfront room and it was exactly as it looks in the pictures. Direct access to the beach via a private ladder. There is a hammock net outside which is great for relaxing, reading a book, or just watching the sunset. The mattress is comfy; the pillows have foam/fibre filling so could be better, and personally I found the duvet unnecessarily warm for a tropical climate which meant I had to turn the aircon up really cold. There is no swimming pool, but who needs one when the sea a step away. Breakfast choices are simple but tasty; the service staff are very friendly and helpful, but I was charged for a coffee refill which I think is unnecessary. The reports about loud music from the Fishbowl Bar are correct. Don’t stay here if you are an early or light sleeper; thumping bass music until 2am every night. However, just remember that there are few places in the world that you can get a beachfront room at such a price (I stayed during the shoulder season so the price/value equation was good for me, so decide accordingly for yourself). Location-wise (part from the loud nightly music) you can’t beat this, a step away from some great upscale restaurants as well as more traditional Thai eateries.
