I will stay here again. This accommodation suited my needs. Walk a few steps and there is a bar and restaurants in close proximity. Everything you need is so close. The beach at the bottom of the property. Perfect for those learning to dive or on a solo journey.

Location and value!

Upon check in i was disappointed with the room and the sea view blocked by trees. However I grew to really enjoy private little beach out the door, pool and amazing sunset. Also the use of the cliff hotel a few doors down. Hotel has no reception and must checkin at cliff hotel.

Wouldn’t recommend anyone to stay in the standard apartment; we had air con dripping constantly and then moved to a room which was ant infested, smelly and just felt dirty. Thankfully we were moved to a bungalow which was much nicer and we were thankful the staff were understanding. Pool is lovely and location is good.

Room I was given did not look like the tidy clean room advertised. There were ants throughout the bed linen, ants on desk, main light did not work, air conditioner could no be turned off or temperature changed so room was too cold. Bathroom tap was broken and shower dripped constantly leaving bathroom always wet and damp smelling. Luckly was refunded for cutting my trip short however refund was hard to attain as staff were unhelpful. Only positive was the pool

*GPS Location is wrong! Check in at Cliff View Simple Life resort* Nice & cheap stay! It's back behind the Cliff View Simple Life resort, which is super nice. So you get most of the amenities and access to the pool and everything as if staying at Cliff View, just a much cheaper, older room. The breakfast buffet is pretty good and only 250 baht. The restaurant seems to have odd hours other than that. They also offer full laundry service for 50 baht a kilo. That was very helpful. Overall I'd definitely stay there again!

DON’T recommend

Our booked room had a smell of mould and had ants crawling around in the room. We told the staff, and they told us to have a look at another room. This room had the same issues, with ants crawling around in the room and in the bed. As the staff couldn’t offer us any other rooms currently, they gave us an ant repellent spray that we could use and told us we could come back tomorrow morning and have a look at yet another room. The sink in the bathroom of the second room was about to come off the wall and was partly covered in mould. There was a pair of glasses and pants left in the wardrobe from the previous guest, making us question the cleaning of the room between guests. The noice isolation was bad and a window panel was missing (which they had just covered with drapes). On the next day, we had a look at a third room, which turned out to be free of ants. However, the wardrobe and hangers still had quite a lot of dust and dirt left on them (they obviously don’t clean the rooms properly between guests), the fan was very dirty, and the towels and bed clothes had stains and holes on them. Overall, all the three rooms felt quite dirty. Additionally, the wifi was terrible and some of the staff acted nonchalant. With the amount that we payed for this room we had definately expected a better standard; this was not worth the money! We’ve been traveling for two months by this time, and we’ve payed a lot less money for rooms that had better standard and was noticably cleaner than this.

Booked a bungalow for 5 nights. The view was great with direct access to small beautiful beach. The place would definitely need some maintenance. Lots of paint chipping on the walls and crumbling pillars on the patio. I was most disappointed by the lack of room service. After third night I had to ask for it and even then they came late. Overall decent value though I guess

Tout d'abord, la chambre est énormément petite. C'est un emplacement vraiment bruyantes. Nous entendions la musique du bord et les gens crier. La propreté n'y était pas. La salle de bain n'étais pas lavé et il y avais des croqurelles. Le coût de la chambre est vraiment élevé considérant l'état du bangalow, son emplacement et la prepreté. Nous ne passions que 2 jours a koh tao alors nous avons perdu du temps a rechercher une seconde hotel, car nous n'avons pas resté une seconde nuit.

A group of us arrived together so a bit chaotic at check in. Room was clean, Use of pool at cliff view resort the Talay pool was mainly for divers. Our shower was cold but apparently that’s quite normal. Huge bed that was great. Good location, great being picked up at pier.

Der Pool ist nicht nutzbar, da er sehr klein ist und den ganzen Tag von der Tauchschule benutzt wird. Glucklicherweise kann man den pool von einem anderen hotel mit benutzen. Das Zimmer ist sehr aktive im schlechten Zustand. Die Betten waren dreckig. Wir würden nicht wieder hier übernachten.
