I loved my stay at Chintakiri Resort. The rooms are spacious with strong AC and a fan. Each room has a large balcony with an incredible view of the bay. The facilities are very nice, including a small, but very nice infinity pool with a gorgeous view. Breakfast is made to order. Every employee was friendly and so helpful. They will offer suggestions for outings and help you to book. Please note that this resort is up a very steep hill that is quite a climb (even when you are in-shape) and the resort itself is full of stairs. You must be easily mobile to stay here. And unless you rent a scooter, you will spend quite a bit of money for taxis to/from the resort ($300-$500 baht per one-way trip). As a solo female traveler I felt very safe at this resort (and on Koh Tao in general) and would definitely stay here again.

I had the most wonderful stay at Chintakiri. The team who worked there were fantastic - so friendly and helpful! The views were spectacular. The rooms were simple but had everything I needed. Shower and air con were great and bed was comfy. The balcony was big and had a stunning view. Pool was clean and food was great. It was a hike to get up there though and I would recommend hiring a scooter if you do stay there. The workout to walk up is well worth what you get once you arrive!

we just stayed here for over two weeks and enjoyed our stay very much. the ladies (staff) were friendly and attentive. the cabin was good with everything you'd expect from a 4 star resort. perhaps a little noisy from mopeds on occasion but that's common on KT. powerful air con. the infinity pool was great, it became a 'home base' to look forward to after a day out enjoying the island. food was standard Thai offerings, some fish options would have meant me giving 5* ratings across the board. it is up a steep hill off the main road but if you get a moped or taxis that won't be a problem. "High Bar" One (with the connotations that are implied) is right next door and good for chilling on an evening with great views.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay, yes the hill/steps are a challenge but so worth it. The rooms are simply furnished and very comfortable, with amazing views especially if you have a room at reception level or above. Shower gel, shampoo and hairdryer on request Situated close to some lovely beaches eg Shark Bay and Freedom Beach and bars and restaurants. Staff are incredibly helpful, organising taxis, a snorkel trip and even pulling out all the stoos to swiftly retriever a handbag I left in a taxi (all credit to the honesty and integrity of the lovely Thai people, I also left a pair of very good sunglasses in a bar down the hill (a bad run of losing things on my part) , and they were handed back to me when I searched the next day). Breakfast was lovely, cooked to order. Such a lovely personal, attentive service, thank you Chintakiri xx

Pretty dated but most of the Koh Tao hotels are. These are separated bungalows sitting on the side of a mountain overlooking Shark’s bay. The views are incredible. A bit of a hike up the road to the hotel so be prepared for that. Close to dive shops and great food and services. This was excellent for the price.

One of my favorite hotels ever, all categories. Loacted a bit up a hill it had a great view of the ocean and also the lush green trees beneath. The resort was clean and well maintained. The staff was absolutely fantastic. So helpful and kind all the time. My plan was to stay here for half my duration in Koh Tao then try living in another part of the island but I ended up extending my stay here because it was so enjoyable. Next time I go to the island there's no doubt, I'm staying at chintakiri again.

This small resort was great in every way. The view from our balcony was unbelievable (we stayed in one of the highest rooms). Staff service was fantastic - they were very accomodating and friendly. The pool was great to relax in and the view was amazing. The food from the restaurant was delicious. The location was perfect for us - privately tucked away up a hill but other food/bar/shopping services within a short stroll. One thing interested holidayers should be aware of is that it is located at the top of a really steep hill. And the resort itself has many steps. So if you are't into walking I'd recommend scooter hire. I'd happily stay here again.

We booked chintakiri because it was more expensive than the place we were originally looking at so we thought we would be getting a better hotel. We booked for one night with the idea to extend our stay if we liked it. Pros - amazing view! One of the best on the island. Waking up and seeing the view, or looking out while eating breakfast is priceless - good size, clean rooms - shower has good water volume and the water is hot. - comfortable beds - wifi ok - has a (small) pool. - villas have a good size balcony looking out to the view Cons - steep driveway and lots of steps. Walkways are narrow. Driveway is navigable with a scooter but I wouldn't do this with a passenger. - outside door doesn't close well and there are gaps in the wood. A concern for bugs coming in at night but you can at least close a second set of doors to the bedroom to stop mosquitoes coming in. - one staff member had a crying child onsite during our one night stay which was quite disruptive. - some very noisy animals (that sound like a rubber duck) onsite. We were woken multiple times in the night by this animal. - if someone hoons up the driveway while you're sleeping, and your villa is next to the driveway, it will wake you up. - devices charge extremely slowly using their power points. - the fridge in our room did not work. We could have stayed more nights, but we went back down the road and viewed some rooms at another hotel. These were half the price compared to chintakiri and were clea

We stayed here as a young couple as part of our honeymoon. Originally we had booked to stay for 6 nights and ended up staying for 9 nights! Chintakiri is a blissful hillside "resort" with one of the most beautiful views on Koh Tao. I'll bullet point my reviews below to make it easier to skip to info you may require. ROOM: we stayed in a Deluxe Pavilion, no.104. As far as we could tell it has the best view of the bay and ocean beyond, and some of the sunsets we incredible. The room itself is very comfortable, the bed and pillows too. It's rustic in style, split over two levels with bathroom and storage upstairs. They're spacious and clean and the shower connected to the aircon is always hot with good water pressure. The rooms are cleaned everyday with fresh towels and complimentary water is given, for that you'll be thankful. LOCATION: located high up a hill it is quite a climb up. But it's well worth it when you get there as it's away from the hustle of the streets below, which can be busy with people and traffic. The climb is only 5 minutes from "street level" but very steep! Walking distance to the beaches, although the one at the bottom only really available during low tide. Be sure to walk to Freedom Beach (via) beach boardwalk and wading through the ocean in higher tide. Freedom Beach does get busy during the day. Hire a motorcycle or bike and make your way to Shark Bay (entering through Rocky Resort to avoid hefty 100B pp fee). The snorkelling here is brilliant

Trucks and scooters going up and down all day, followed by the sound of drunk people leaving the bar, got a terrible nights sleep due to this. When I asked for an alternative room I was the told they were fully booked however the hotel did not seem busy at all. Had the expectations of spending the night relaxing on my balcony Enjoying the view which was impossible with the happening 10 ft away from my balcony.

Chintakiri is an excellent resort. The views are unbeatable on the island. It is a bit of a hike up the hill, but the views from the restaurant and pool make it worth it. The breakfast is made to order and included in the price, which to me is a bonus. The area of Koh Tao that Chintakiri is located is perfect. The beaches are some of the best in the world, my personal favorite. The snorkeling is great, diving is of course perfect, and the beaches are shallow, clear blue water, and little waves. The rooms are large with balcony and have everything you'd want or need. The staff is extremely helpful in booking tours, transportation, or anything else you'd need. I would definitely recommend Chintakiri for anyone going to Koh Tao and wanting to be in a more private, secluded area with nearby restaurants and beaches. There is also a yoga studio in the town. The thing I like most about Chintakiri is that you are away from all the congestion that you might experience near the pier. The price is very reasonable, and as someone that usually is ok with just a bed and willing to do with less at a hostel, Chintakiri was worth every bit. If you're on a budget you can splurge a little on Chintakiri because you will save money elsewhere in Koh Tao. There are nearby vistas and viewpoints that are worth a visit. There is free pick up from the pier and drop off as well. Must visit to see for yourself. You won't be let down.

One down point was the air con as it took a long time to cool room and when out of room you have to remove the key from power.

One thing interested holidayers should be aware of is that it is located at the top of a really steep hill. And the resort itself has many steps. So if you are't into walking I'd recommend scooter hire. I'd happily stay here again.

We booked chintakiri because it was more expensive than the place we were originally looking at so we thought we would be getting a better hotel. We booked for one night with the idea to extend our stay if we liked it. Pros - amazing view! One of the best on the island. Waking up and seeing the view, or looking out while eating breakfast is priceless - good size, clean rooms - shower has good water volume and the water is hot. - comfortable beds - wifi ok - has a (small) pool. - villas have a good size balcony looking out to the view Cons - steep driveway and lots of steps. Walkways are narrow. Driveway is navigable with a scooter but I wouldn't do this with a passenger. - outside door doesn't close well and there are gaps in the wood. A concern for bugs coming in at night but you can at least close a second set of doors to the bedroom to stop mosquitoes coming in. - one staff member had a crying child onsite during our one night stay which was quite disruptive. - some very noisy animals (that sound like a rubber duck) onsite. We were woken multiple times in the night by this animal. - if someone hoons up the driveway while you're sleeping, and your villa is next to the driveway, it will wake you up. - devices charge extremely slowly using their power points. - the fridge in our room did not work. We could have stayed more nights, but we went back down the road and viewed some rooms at another hotel. These were half the price compared to chintakiri and were clea

We stayed here as a young couple as part of our honeymoon. Originally we had booked to stay for 6 nights and ended up staying for 9 nights! Chintakiri is a blissful hillside "resort" with one of the most beautiful views on Koh Tao. I'll bullet point my reviews below to make it easier to skip to info you may require. ROOM: we stayed in a Deluxe Pavilion, no.104. As far as we could tell it has the best view of the bay and ocean beyond, and some of the sunsets we incredible. The room itself is very comfortable, the bed and pillows too. It's rustic in style, split over two levels with bathroom and storage upstairs. They're spacious and clean and the shower connected to the aircon is always hot with good water pressure. The rooms are cleaned everyday with fresh towels and complimentary water is given, for that you'll be thankful. LOCATION: located high up a hill it is quite a climb up. But it's well worth it when you get there as it's away from the hustle of the streets below, which can be busy with people and traffic. The climb is only 5 minutes from "street level" but very steep! Walking distance to the beaches, although the one at the bottom only really available during low tide. Be sure to walk to Freedom Beach (via) beach boardwalk and wading through the ocean in higher tide. Freedom Beach does get busy during the day. Hire a motorcycle or bike and make your way to Shark Bay (entering through Rocky Resort to avoid hefty 100B pp fee). The snorkelling here is brilliant

We had a great stay at Chintakiri Resort. Staff was really nice. The room is very beautiful and clean and the view from the balcony is amazing. Pool-area is very beautiful. The way up to the hotel is very steep.

Was given a room which was right beside a busy lane leading to a bar. Trucks and scooters going up and down all day, followed by the sound of drunk people leaving the bar, got a terrible nights sleep due to this. When I asked for an alternative room I was the told they were fully booked however the hotel did not seem busy at all. Had the expectations of spending the night relaxing on my balcony Enjoying the view which was impossible with the happening 10 ft away from my balcony.

Chintakiri is an excellent resort. The views are unbeatable on the island. It is a bit of a hike up the hill, but the views from the restaurant and pool make it worth it. The breakfast is made to order and included in the price, which to me is a bonus. The area of Koh Tao that Chintakiri is located is perfect. The beaches are some of the best in the world, my personal favorite. The snorkeling is great, diving is of course perfect, and the beaches are shallow, clear blue water, and little waves. The rooms are large with balcony and have everything you'd want or need. The staff is extremely helpful in booking tours, transportation, or anything else you'd need. I would definitely recommend Chintakiri for anyone going to Koh Tao and wanting to be in a more private, secluded area with nearby restaurants and beaches. There is also a yoga studio in the town. The thing I like most about Chintakiri is that you are away from all the congestion that you might experience near the pier. The price is very reasonable, and as someone that usually is ok with just a bed and willing to do with less at a hostel, Chintakiri was worth every bit. If you're on a budget you can splurge a little on Chintakiri because you will save money elsewhere in Koh Tao. There are nearby vistas and viewpoints that are worth a visit. There is free pick up from the pier and drop off as well. Must visit to see for yourself. You won't be let down.

Only down part is the steep hill, BUT we discovered stairs that cut the steepest part of the hill out so if you stay here make sure you use that entrance/exit!! View is amazing from the hotel and the rooms are modern and clean. Breakfast options are amazing and so delicious!! Staff was super friendly. Also best part is they send staff to pick you up from the pier without even me asking... It was the best surprise

Great hotel on a steep little hill. Excellent staff, and possibly the best views of the island. We loved it.

1 night stay and pleasantly surprised with this hotel. Although it is up a very steep hill this allows you to have a lovely view from both balcony and pool. Service was very good. One down point was the air con as it took a long time to cool room and when out of room you have to remove the key from power.
