Lotus Resort

The hotel bar plays loud music until 3am and restarts at 10am. It is really difficult to sleep through this. We also saw a cockroach and a few bugs.

Friendly

To start with we opted for a twin room as we are mother and son but were told that they took a large booking for an event and have hired out the whole floor so we couldn’t have a twin for all 3 nights. So one of the nights we’d have to share a double bed (which had a nicer view in the end). The place is dirty and needs massively updating. The bathroom is gross. The beds are very firm and cheap and if you have a tv in your room it has about 7 channels all in Thai - no smart tv. The staff werent particularly helpful and were disinterested in your custom and encouraged us to find somewhere else if we weren’t happy sharing a bed. The noise levels are LOUD. There is a bar nearby which closes at 1am which is very loud but it’s not the worst. The worst thing is everybody slamming their doors. This is definitely a party persons accommodation not for people wanting a nice chilled holiday. There’s also a lot of work being done everywhere so it’s all a bit of a mess

Checked in and had £25 taken as a deposit on key. Quite expensive compared to most in the area so expected good things. Most of the hotel was under some kind of construction. There was dog mess in public areas. No safe in the room so i was advised to 'keep all valuables with you'. Soap dispenser didn’t work. Concrete footpath to beach collapsed. Loud music from beach bar until 2am every night. Had breakfast included but still needed to go to the other side of the complex to get a voucher each morning then back to the original side to the restaurant. Not impressed with this place at all.

Toilet wasn’t working and very unorganized staff

This hotel ended up being the most expensive of our whole trip around Thailand and actually the worst in respect of the condition of the hotel and rooms, it needs some investment to upgrade, area around hotel very shabby, lots of rubbish on the beach. The entertainment on beach in the evening was amazing the fire show kept us watching for a few hours, not sure I would visit that particular area again as I felt it is not cared for by the locals or tourists. The pool was closed on our 1st day for maintenance then open the next day but we were out all day then closed again on our 3rd day we expressed our disappointment and asked if we could use another hotel’s pool, we got there in the end and we had a lovely time. We learned that the restaurants only opened till about 9pm so we only made that mistake once. Recommend the snorkelling trip around the island of Koh Tao.

Unfortunately, i didn’t read the reviews as carefully as I should have.The location is perfect.a few steps to the beach.The picture is not of the actual hotel but the pool across the road. Now for the bad part. There is obnoxiously loud! dance rave type pounding base music from 11 to about 2 am. I had to take two glasses of wine and a sleeping pill.The bathroom had mildew around the tub and some on the ceiling. Never stay here again

1 minute from beach.

Excellent customer service, it’s definitely worth the price. The cash vouchers were an amazing thing I was not expecting (440 a day? Loved it)

Great location and really good aircon. We also enjoy the breakfast vouchers which you can use for anything at the hotel. Drinks, massages, lunch or dinner. That was really nice and a great value. We loved our stay and will be back again for sure. Highly recommend Lotus for your stay on Koh Tao.

The poll is not clean and the shawer also

I would give this resort a 1.75 out of 5. A solid 4 on nights they didn't have music until 2 am and then construction from 2 until 9 am (who starts working that late/early; major respect to him). Unfortunately, on nights that they did play music and do work, it was close to a 0 star resort.

We booked a standard room and when we turned up I think the pictures were taken 10 or more years ago as the room was very rundown. We asked to be up greaded and the reception was very helpful and the new room was ok. It cost us another £40 for out stay. The hotel is a bit tired and rundown but the guy on the reception was good. I also had my flip flops stolen within 30minutes of being at the hotel.

Lotus is a well run resort and I’ve stayed there many times,great location also,highly recommend it

Room cleaned every day with fresh towels! Stayed right beside the beach. The location was great! Great value for money and I would recommend it

Central location on the beach close to restaurants and bars which does mean it can be noisy at night but music stops at 1 am. Only complaint was there was no hot water in the bathroom as they rely on solar with no back up if it's cloudy/raining which unfortunately it was.

We didn't like that it wasn't a big beach just outside like the map said. It was loud music at night. But a good thing it ended at midnight. The staff was wonderful!

A great place all in all but you get these little vouchers for wifi with a code which you have to enter every time you use it,annoying!!!!

Lotus paradise resort was really good, the neighbourhood was very lively ,the beach was very close to the hotel and also very lively , this resort has two pools what we're very good sizes the one bad thing is there is like a metre wide canal with stagnant water what is very close to one of the pools and hotel which smells like sewage if u can get past that it is a nice place to stay

This hotel is not terrible, you have a clean bed, clean bathroom, working AC, the basic on the standard room. Actually, Expedia gave me a "better deal" over the phone, what I think they did is gave a lower quality room (it wasn't the prettiest) when I got there I notice they have 8 different types of rooms and prices. From standard to luxury with fan, and from standard to luxury with AC. The party on the pool bar and beach bar is popping every night until 2 am. So if you want to sleep early this is not your place. If you like to party and don't have to take a taxi while drunk, this is your place. A lot of young people, beach, diving club, restautants; I didn't have to take a taxi anywhere in 5 days.
