Koh Tao hotels were first established in 1984. They were very basic, just small, simple huts, no fan, communal shower room and toilet, and cost 30 Baht per night. Today, things couldn’t be more different.
Koh Tao now offers a wide choice of hotels, from simple wooden bungalows on the beach in secluded bays to budget dorm hostels in the town centre to luxury pool villas with private beaches. Many hotels are friendly family-run businesses, with the owner and family members taking care of the cooking, cleaning, reception, restaurant, and everything else. Other resorts have staff with professional management teams. Koh Tao Complete Guide has compiled a list of top-rated hotels on Koh Tao to assist you in finding the one that best suits your needs.
