“Wonderful Stay with Excellent Service!”
+We had a wonderful stay at Sai Daeng Resort! The service was excellent, and the staff were always kind, helpful, and attentive. They took great care of us and made sure our room was comfortable and well prepared throughout our stay. The shuttle service to and from the resort was excellent, very convenient and well organized. The driver was especially kind, friendly, and courteous, which made every ride even more pleasant. We really enjoyed our stay and truly appreciate the warm hospitality. Highly recommended!

“A relaxing 10-Day stay with beautiful views and great amenities”
+I had a wonderful stay overall and would definitely recommend this resort, especially if you're looking for a relaxing getaway surrounded by nature. The location is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking ocean views and a peaceful atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind. The natural sounds of the island were one of my favorite parts of the experience, so noise was never an issue,in fact, it added to the charm. The resort is beautifully designed and very well maintained. Since it is built on a hill, you will get your steps in, but free buggy rides are available if needed. I stayed in a Deluxe Ocean View Villa, which offered excellent value for the price. The room was spacious, comfortable, and had incredible views. While I noticed a few minor details that could have been cleaner, the overall standard was very good. The amenities are outstanding. The yoga classes, Muay Thai sessions, gym, pool, and other activities create a great balance between relaxation and staying active. The opportunity to snorkel in two different bays is amazing and adds a lot to the overall experience. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay, and the service was consistently good.

“A perfect stay”
+Excellent stay, very comfy beds, very good aircon, beautiful location, spotless, great breakfast and the best snorkelling on the island right on the doorstep. The trade off for this oasis of tranquillity is isolation. If you don't hire a moped, you need to rely on cabs and the hotel shuttle so just be prepared to swallow the cost. The staff are lovely but language can be an issue..if you use their whatsapp messenger service, ask for confirmation of yr request as it wasn't always clear if a cab or class had been booked ( it was). We ate in the hotel restaurant several times. Pricier than in town as you'd expect but not overpriced. Both Asian and western dishes were great, so we're the cocktails and house wines. Lovely ladies in the spa. Again, more than town but beautiful ambiance, you hear the gentle lapping of the sea and birds tweeting rather than mopeds racing past. Use Google translate when booking a treatment to explain if you've had surgery or spinal issues. Thai massage is not for the faint hearted! They can advise on more gentle treatments. We had 6 nights here and didn't want to leave. Our son is a dive instructor on Koh Tao and said you wouldn't find better snorkelling an

“Nice, secluded, excellent snorkeling on-site”
+Very nice calm and secluded property. If you want to relax and tune things out, this is the place. It is a one minute walk from your room to some amazing snorkeling. Turtles, small sharks, anemonies, huge tabling Acropora corals, enormous brain corals, multitudes of fish to see. The pool was nice and not overcrowded. It was nice to have free Muay Thai and yoga lessons. The breakfast was OK.

“Best snorkeling in Ko Tao (comparable to Nang Yuan)”
+We stayed here for five nights as a couple in April 2026. We came to Koh Tao primarily for snorkeling and chose this resort because we could enter the water directly from the property. It turned out to be absolutely the right decision. During our stay, we joined a snorkeling tour that covered six different spots, including beaches we had considered staying at, and it only reinforced how strong this resort’s location and house reef really are. The property also shows thoughtful attention to environmental sustainability throughout, which we appreciated. The staff are consistently warm and welcoming. While some are not fully comfortable in English, communication was never an issue. We stayed in a corner room with an ocean-view balcony, which was very comfortable. The air conditioning worked perfectly, and the hot water in the shower was reliable. The breakfast buffet is excellent, with an omelet station, rotating Thai dishes, and even dim sum. There are also lighter options like fresh fruit and chia seed pudding, plus a proper espresso machine. We ended up having all our meals at the resort and found the food consistently good. The room service bento box was also a convenient option.

“Definitely not for you if you enjoy white fluffy towels and a little bit of luxury!!”
+I feel it is only fair to point out that we visited the Sai Daeng Resort towards the end of our holiday, having previously stayed in some amazing hotels. If this had been our first stop, perhaps we wouldn't be so critical, difficult to know. Firstly, the many positives. The setting is incredible, literally right on the beach. The snorkeling (the reason we booked here) was amazing - you can swim to the coral reef right from the beach, and we saw a huge variety of colourful fish, a turtle and some sharks! It is incredibly peaceful, and listening to the waves whilst in bed (which was very comfortable) is a great experience. The air con is effective so had a good night's sleep. The staff are all so lovely, friendly and polite. The pool is attractive with plenty of comfortable sunbeds. The cocktails are absolutely delicious and reasonably priced, especially during Happy Hour. We enjoyed some of the many complimentary activities, especially the bead craft. So why only 3 stars? Our room (a superior sea view with balcony) and the part of the hotel that we were situated in, was very dark and dingy, in fact my husband likened the grey stone corridor to a prison! It was in desperate need of r

“Quiet slice of heaven on earth.”
+A slice of heaven! Graciously built into the natural granite formations and a huge natural sandy beach this resort is an ideal zen location. We have an amazing two bedroom villa with an infinity pool to which it seems many of the villas came with pools. The main pool was perched on a cliff that was a dramatic infinity pool so definitely check out their videos as hard to imagine the expanse. Coupled with the best service and most polite staff. The rooms were very clean and well appointed with very update to fixtures. Great value and quite serene!
