Stayed for 3 nights, ideal location on the beach, our air conditioning didn't work on arrival but was fixed within 10 mins. The villa's could do with a little tlc but for the price I'd highly recommend this place.

Black mold everywhere in the rooms- and it smelled like mold. Holes in the floors in the bungalows. No water pressure in the shower or sink in the bathroom

The hotel is in terrible condition. The door to our room had to be slammed in order to work. The bathroom was not as clean as could be and the shower didn’t drain properly. There was no division between toilet and shower, so the whole place gets wet when you showered. Reception hours are limited and the guy that works up front is not friendly at all. The grounds could use upkeep and maintenance. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone!

The property is located away from the main area of load music and lots of scooters every where. This resort is perfect for divers , amazing dive masters and crew , also good for a relaxing atmosphere with excellent breakfast included. If your looking for a party this is not here but you can walk to it. If you want to chill and enjoy all there is to do on Toa then I recommend this resort

Nice and quiet
This was our second time here. We stay in nov 2017. Nothing much has changed. The roof in the bathroom was fixed, no more holes and mushrooms growing out of it. This part of the beach is very clean, the water is crystal clear and lovely soft sand. Food in the restaurant is ok. Breakfast was good.

First the good: property is located right on the north end kf Sairee beach and is easily walkable to lots of restaurants, beach bars and dive shops. Now the bad: literally everything else. Of all the issues though, the worst is the mattresses in each room. Out mattress was the hardest, most uncomfortable mattress I have ever “slept” on. I use the term sleep loosely, as I didn’t actually do much of that thanks to the discomfort. We stayed 12 nights and after the first night i was dreading the rest of our stay. I had to ask the front desk for extra blankets to pad the mattress so I could actually sleep. On top of that, there was a rooster (for some reason) kept behind our room which woke me up early each morning. And as if that wasn’t enough, the maids area was also located right outside their window, so we constantly heard their chatter starting at 7:45am every day. I asked to move to a different bungalow after the first day, and they tried to put us in a smaller bungalow, and call it an upgrade. We stayed in the one we originally had because we did not want to downsize. Lastly, if you are trying to use the wifi to do any work, don’t. It’s awful and loses connection constantly. You’re better off using a local SIM card and your phone as a hotspot. Overall I would not recommend this hotel until they make some serious upgrades. However, it did not ruin our trip as Koh Tao itself is an absolutely lovely place to spend some time, even if your accommodations are less than ideal.

Convenient but minimalistic
Air conditioner was only barely effective in turbo mode. Room was older and I guess appropriate to rate I was charged. Bathroom was working but minimal. This place was 2 doors down from the dive shop I got lessons from so it was convenient.

Hotel was fine.. it’s a bit old fashioned..Could so with some tlc. Shower was very bad. Felt like the economy rooms were better value than the cottages. But in saying that the rooms were cleaned everyday. Staff were friendly and the resort is nice and quite. Only a short walk away from the main area.

Stay away
Moldy room drapes, strange bathroom, with strong urine smell and has a wooden bath tub that looks/feels very unsanitary. Had to report a broken phone and no wifi few times before something was done about it. The receptionist tried to scam us with the price for a taxi. We had done the same trip earlier for 100 baht p/p, my friend had to go back to the same place within 20 mins and the same receptionist gave her a quote of 150 baht p/p for the exact same trip. Very deceiving place in many ways. Stay away, they don't deserve your business. The taxi boat service and the massage lady are the only 2 positive things in the place.

Koh Tao is a hotpsot for us
We booked the best bungalow on the resort. Seaview Deluxe Room walking straight out to the beach. Cannot beat that. Walking 5 metres to resort restaurant. Breakfast although was very average and breakfast staff were somewhat rude and not welcoming. Location was perfect for the wife and i. short walking distance or long walking distance to shops and restaurants depending on taste.

This place was quaint I loved that the rooms were individual little huts! The pool was really nice didn’t like that is closed at 8pm but they all Do over here. Breakfast buffet was middle of the line!! The beach right at hotel was good but they all let there sewage into the ocean right there! The staff was really friendly and helpful! We have booked for a whole week and look forward to it!

beach front bliss
From star to finish nothing short of bliss, free shuttle bus to and from the ferry ,warm welcome at arrival and shown to are cosy little fisherman’s hut close to the pool area and seconds away from the beach. Nice clean hut with all we could need for are two week stay, free tea and coffee and water on hand and small fridge ,shower room clean and tidy. What make this place so special are the staff nothing too much for these guys always on hand and a real smile on their face. Was staying with friends who had a small child who they continually went out their way to look after. Food on site was always of a high quality. Bar area right on beach front was a great place to hang out to watch the sunset. Being at the far end of the beach means you get the best of both worlds quite at night but only two minute walk to the livelier beach bars and hub of the night life. Highly recommend for couples and family’s alike. We will be back for sure.

Nice hotel, right in the beach. Great staff
The resort is in a good location, 10 minute walk to the heart of Sairee village and right on the beach. The staff is amazing, very accommodating and try their very best for you. The rooms are clean, water pressure wasn't the best, a/c comes and goes but they will bring you a fan on request and the bed was hard. Be careful after showering as the bathroom is open and the floor gets very slippery.

Divers Hotel.....poor location , but nice beach
We had an ok stay here at The Grande, the location of our hut was lovely, and the huts are serviceable. However what lets this resort down is the restaurant .. If your ok with scruffy youngsters dragging their feet with a cigarette behind the ear , While they serve food then you will be ok. It wasn't to our taste. If we hadn't prepaid breakfast we wouldn't have gone their at all. It's also a divers resort and is obvious, and while not over bothered by this .....there is nothing else to do there ..it's also out of town and the walk along the dark road is not great ! Would I return ? Def not at the price we paid ..
