Hotels with Rooftop Pools in Koh Tao

"We had an amazing stay at this resort. The staff were great and very helpful. They offered a shuttle to and from the pier which was great. They had scooter located right at the hotel to rent which is definitely they way to get around and explore koh Tao, don’t try to get around by vehicle it takes too long. The resort itself was amazing, breakfast was great and because its location up on the hill it made for some really awesome sunset pictures. The restaurant closes at 3 but honestly there are so many great restaurants in town that you will want to head there for dinner. The location might be the best part as koh Tao is a pretty busy little island and so it is nice to get out of the chaos so you can relax a bit in peace. Overall this resort was an amazing experience and I would definitely stay here again. Don’t listen to some of the other reviews, I was skeptical about staying here after I had read some of the reviews but I was pleasantly surprised once we got to the resort."

"We paid for an upgrade from a Sea Balcony Room to an Ocean Balcony Room, but the view of the beach was very poor. Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend paying for the upgrade. The hotel offers several activities like kayaking. They help you rent a scooter since the hotel is located far from town. There is a transfer service to the city center three times a day. The beach is one of the best in Koh Tao."

"Cape Shark Villas is a complex of villas with hotel service (daily cleaning, free scheduled transfer to the pier, food ordering to the room). We stayed at C1 Deluxe Villa (with a pool), 6 people. The accommodation was in two buildings - the main villa C1 (with two bedrooms, a gazebo, a veranda and a pool) and the guest house C1 nearby. The villa is located next to the reception - convenient when moving around the island by taxi or by hotel transfer. You can walk down to the sea in 3-5 minutes, but the climb back is quite steep. If you travel by bike, then the location on the mountain has only advantages! Excellent views, quiet and amazing privacy with nature! A squirrel, a crab, a small snake and a charming large gecko lived next to us. At first, such a neighborhood was a little shocking, but in 3 days we became friends with them. No need to be afraid - these are additional emotions and memories. Overall, we liked the villa, it was comfortable, clean and at the same time very colorful. Wherever you look, there is a great angle for a photo shoot. We will be happy to stay here next time. Of the minuses - only one bedroom has a sea view and in October there was a warm pool."

"Trusted the description of the hotel and was wrong. About the pros, clean room, updated walls and furniture inside the room, comfortable bed, large room, water, tea, coffee, great staff, visually clean pool, walk from the pier, relatively secluded. Now about the cons, took a room with access to the pool, the floor in the exit area, the paint is bought off, the bench in the exit area is split, the mattresses on the sun loungers are old, on the side of the room, but visible from the sun lounger and the windows of the room there were garbage containers, and around them a mountain of plastic bottles. The children in the pool played in such a way as to interfere with a relaxing holiday as much as possible, jumping from your area by the pool or nearby, I had to make a remark, in the morning they played football, incl. running through the room area. There is a construction site nearby, to the left of the bungalow and room area. Perhaps it is quieter higher up. In general, the hotel is apparently for families. Breakfast was enough for me. I stayed for one night and changed the hotel."

"The hotel positions itself as a 4-star hotel, but it is far from being so. The bay is very beautiful, and this is the only advantage of the hotel. Lots of people come for breakfast, but there is only one coffee machine, which is managed by a very unfriendly madam. Hotelier, buy a couple more coffee machines and stop torturing guests!"

"Clean dorm room and toilets with decent facilities. Friendly staff. Nice that they have free shuttle services too. Convenient location very near Chalok Baan Kao Bay and Freedom Beach, good restaurants, massage shops and Seven Eleven. Only negative impression was witnessing a mynah pick off rice grains from the serving spoon during the breakfast buffet. The food is out in the open, though covered, and no one is really watching to make sure the animals don't come for it..."

"Beautiful hotel all rooms can see sun set and amazing view, large room, Hotel located on the hill at Tao Thong bay good place to stay if u not prefer crowded area. If u want to go Sairee beach it’s about 10-15 mins by taxi or motor bike. Reception team very helpful and fast response for all my requirements. Recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Well, when I searched for a room I set the app filter for ac, but filter works even if just one type of rooms in hotel have ac, and photos of different types of rooms presented alltogether. So I got a room with 2 noisy fans instead of ac, that was peculiar experience and I'm not gonna repeat it 😆 And the most disappointing thing is the absence of fridge, but ok, that's maybe the lesson for me to be more watchful On average that's a great hotel, beautiful and nice personal and everything"

"There is so much to say but I will try to be as concise as possible. Ecotao Lodge is a piece of heaven. The hotel is superb, the whole idea that is an ecological establishment run by a family it makes it all worthwhile. The hotel is simple and yet mesmerising. It is very green, the swimming pool area is breathtaking with views to nature and the sea. My husband and I went to Koh Tao for 3 days so we booked two nights at Ecotao Lodge. We decided to treat ourselves so we went for the suite. When we were taken to our room, we spent at least 30 minutes just sitting there in the balcony and bed, looking at the sea. The view was one of the best I have had the opportunity to see. The room was immaculate and with all the commodities one need. We were provided with hand made shower gel, shampoo and conditioner! It is incredible that this hotel has been open only since December 2019. Yves, the owner, runs the hotel along with his friend and staff. What a wonderful man, passionate about the service he offers, always with a smile. Chris, his friend, always there greeting you in the mornings also with a genuine interest to make sure you are well. The staff are so lovely, smiling all the time with the Thai attitude that is so warm about them. As I said, we were there for two nights... Initially that is. After our first night, we were so in love with the place, the atmosphere and the service that we decided to extend our stay for 4 more nights. I could have stayed even more to be honest but sadly I had to carry on with my travelling plans. Yves, Chris and his staff made us feel like a family! I can't wait to go back next year, even for a few days to stay in this little paradise. Bt the way... The food they serve!!!! OMG!!! It is succulent, balanced, fresh... It is just the best. Loved so many dishes I tried but I couldn't let a day pass without having the spring rolls! Hehehehe. Thank you Yves, Chris and your lovely staff (I feel so bad I forgot their names, they were all outstanding). "

"Even though it’s located a bit out of the way they have free transport services throughout the day to get to town. Also free transfer from the ferry. Great view points from pretty much everywhere in the resort. There’s a snorkelling point right at the bottom of the resort and kayaks available for hire which I thought was a good touch."
