"Ein echtes Hidden Gem auf Ko Tao! Die Mitarbeiter sind außergewöhnlich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Vom ersten Moment an fühlt man sich willkommen. Ein Roller wurde schnell und unkompliziert für uns organisiert. Die Zimmer sind groß, sehr sauber und richtig gemütlich. Fußläufig zu erreichen ist unter anderem das Sairee Beach und einige sehr gute Restaurants wie das Blue Chair. Absolute Empfehlung für einen entspannten Aufenthalt auf Ko Tao."

Top Koh Tao Hotel Reviews

Jamahkiri Resort & Spa

Jamahkiri Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Overall this is a nice hotel. The views are really nice as the hotel hugs the cliffs around shark bay. This means going up and down the hill and there are many steps etc. This was fine for me. We had one of the new private pool rooms which was very modern and nice. The older parts of the hotel do show the age a bit. The staff were nice but we had trouble getting more water on our last day. The breakfast was ok, I can only say it was not as good as other similar hotels. The hotel is not close to the main drag so a 400 baht taxi is needed. This was not a big problem for us just an FYI. The hotel is advertised as a 5 star hotel on Expedia but it's not its a 4 star. Overall I was happy with the hotel. Its got great views which is was i wanted. The room we had was very large and modern. It really depends what you're after. "
