The Sunset Beach Resort

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. The staff are truly amazing — a special thank you to Joy, who made sure we were well taken care of throughout our stay. Her kindness and attentiveness made a big difference. The location is fantastic! It’s far from the hustle and bustle, which makes it perfect for a relaxing getaway. I would definitely recommend renting a scooter, as there are plenty of great local restaurants nearby (some even within walking distance). The rooms are spacious and clean, which we really appreciated.

A true haven of peace. The hotel may be a bit dated, but it is very well maintained and spotlessly clean. The staff are exceptional, with a rare level of kindness. Located in a quieter area, away from the hustle and bustle of tourist hotspots, it is the perfect place to relax and experience Thailand in a different way.

Beautiful sunset views in a quaint family owned resort. Our first impression was very good, they called us after our flight landed to ensure we found the shuttle and asked if we wanted anything from the kitchen as it was closing we would arrive. The breakfast had made-to-order eggs, fresh fruit, cereal, espresso coffee/cappuccino, and a variety of bread & croissants. There’s a few restaurants within walking distance. There’s good snorkeling off the beach & there’s a break in the coral right in front of the resort to allow for deeper swimming. The price is excellent for what you are getting. The location is on the quiet side of the island about 1 hour drive from the airport, however most boat tours to neighboring islands will pick up at this resort. Definitely go on the Red Baron to view the national park and take a Koh Tao tour for snorkeling. The staff is very friendly & helpful. The laundry service was nice and inexpensive. We loved that they packed a breakfast for us when we had an early flight for our departure. Upon arriving there was a note on our bed that said the resort was doing a “soft opening”, which meant the spa was closed and the restaurant had limited menu. The toilet in the room has a glass door that limited privacy. No bidet. The rooms are not sound proof. We could hear some noise from the neighbors and street, but it was still very quiet.
