Lub d Koh Tao Tanote Bay

The cottage tree top needs a bit of a revamp. Food at the restaurant was good. Location couldn't be better. Perfect for snorkeling.

Everything is perfect, except for the hotel restaurant. NOT good and too much expensive. But, You just have to go to the Posseidon hotel restaurant and enjoy them meal :)

Wonderful rooftop bungalow offering unique stay. Evening food was excellent but breakfast buffet was somewhere between ok and good. Some staff were wonderfully friendly, some were a bit standoffish. Good email communication to organise free transfer from one side of island to the resort. However, upon check in, the lady at reception said she would organise our ferry and bus tickets. On check out, she hadn't done this which was a shame. Luckily, a colleague sorted them out there and then.

Beautiful location, very quiet, isolated -- perfect get away. Accomdations excellent. Food choice and standard, very good. Breakfast buffet O.K. Limited activities. Great swimming snorkeling .

I Stayed here two nights out of five on koh Tao (low season). I was traveling by myself and was looking for something else which I realized only after I got to Montalay. This place is perfect if you are a family or a couple looking for a nice quiet beach to swim, snorkel and relax. Other vacationers, I think, will find that there is nothing to do. Resort offers reasonable transportation to the main pier and beaches as well as free pick up from the pier once you arrive on the island, just contact them in advance and give them your itinerary (local taxis will charge 400-700). If this is your first time on the island, I highly recommend NOT renting a motorbike or car a traveling to the resort, you will soon understand why all taxis on the island are 4x4 pickup trucks. -The room was clean and comfortable except for not having AC. I thought that in the price range it would be an included amenity. -as I mentioned, the Resort is located on the eastern side of the island in what is called Tanote Bay. The resorts restaurant is really good! -Hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. Overall I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a quiet vacation with little to no distractions from the rest of the tourists on Koa Tao.

Really glad we chose to stay on this side of the island given how beautiful and relaxing it is. We found those staying at the hotel had a 'chilled-out' vibe (probably because most people are there for the diving) which was perfect as were looking for something fairly quiet. Very clean hotel with friendly staff. Wi-fi worked without any issues and there's a laptop in the restaurant area that anyone can use. The staff were happy to serve food & drinks on the beach which was lovely. There's a coral reef right on your doorstep which provides some fantastic snorkelling opportunities - I'd recommend bringing an underwater camera with you (disposable should be fine) as there are so many varieties of fish to see up close. The restaurant food was superb - we ate there most nights. There are a couple of other options available on the beach for food/drink but there were very few people there so we gave them a miss. The hotel runs a taxi service to the Mae Haad pier which is worth doing for a nice evening meal out. Perhaps the only negative point was that some locals own dogs (friendly and docile) which roam the beach freely resulting in some dog faeces on the beach. This wasn't a major issue though and probably not something within the control of this hotel. Overall a great place to stay if you like something a bit more remote and enjoy snorkelling and/or scuba diving.

Room is comfortable but better service is needed from the staff. The main reason for choosing this resort is because of Tanote Bay.

Quiet place, friendly staff, pleasant garden, nice view from villside huts (worth the steep climb). Good food, nice beach, good diving club with dives all around the island. Trace of rats in room were the only disappointment.

A beautiful resort with beautiful, hilly, grounds. Beautiful pool deck and view. The reef is just offshore, so you won't need a boat to see underwater beauty. The balcony was lovely. Staff included the most friendly cat in Thailand.

Wonderful bay - nice divecenter - good food - friendly and serviceminded staff - lot's of fish and corals when diving or snorkling - not neccessarily a good choice for families with small children as the sand is crushed corals and water very deep close to beach. We will definitely consider returning another time.
