After a terrible one night stay at Coral Grand Resort, we stumbled upon this little gem while eating at Simple Life Restaurant. Room was really nice and clean, 2000THB a night including breakfast. Pool was clean and relaxing. Not to much sun exposure but Sairee Beach is a 5 minute walk across the street. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food... More

We booked this hotel after travelling from bangkok to the islands. As we are on our honeymoon we opted for the deluxe room. The staff were pleasant and helpful,the room delightful and was decorated with flowers for our special occasion...HOWEVER.. there was a building site directly outside our room. Work began at 8.30am and consisted of jack hammers, power tools... More

We chose Simple Life as my boyfriend wanted to do his PADI advanced, but as I don't dive I wanted somewhere that wasn't going to be too dive-centric. As the dive centre is a few minutes away from the hotel it fitted the bill. The dive centre were outstanding, and seemed to have much smaller groups than many of the... More

I can't say nothing wrong about this hotel. Nice room, spacious bathroom, breakfast was ok. Not far from the beach, in the centre of Sairee. The hotel is a little bit overpriced, but just like the most hotels at Ko Tao.

Normal hotel rooms. Clean, with air condition. The balcony are on the gate, so people always pass in front of you when chilling there. Nice little swimming pool. The beach is at 5-10 min from the hotel, and all facilities are not far away.

Nice clean rooms but stay was marred by building work, average hospitality and rude service, dreadful breakfast. The pool was o.k but nothing special. Would not recommend if you want a nice stay somewhere, I'd stay on the beach instead.

We stayed here for five nights on our second visit to Koh Tao. We stayed in a Superior Room, which while a little bit pricey was not bad value. A close walk to the beach. Rooms were clean and the bathrooms were monstrous. For the first time in my life I had a room with my own private urinal! Air... More

A group of 14 of us stayed at Simple life resort in November for a scuba diving holiday. We chose to upgrade with the package we were given with the PADI accredited simple life diving school and the accommodation was fantastic. We all fell in love with Koh Tao and the hotel was fantastic. We stayed 5 nights at Simple... More

When looking around places to stay in koh tao before travelling, we struggled to find affordable beach front location as we weren't planning on diving whilst there. This place is great for the non divers. Just a 2 min walk from sairee beach. The aircon worked well in the room, the bathroom was lovely, mini bar was well stocked and... More
