Sai Daeng Resort

I had a wonderful time at this resort! The room and beach were absolutely beautiful. The only downside is that everything is uphill, and there are lots of staircases around the property, but I think that adds to the charm and makes it a truly special place.

This is the most spectacular location I have ever seen. Located on an outcrop, there are opportunities to swim on both sides so that if it’s windy on one side, you can just go to the other side where it’s protected. The snorkelling is second to none. Just tipping your face into the ocean for a moment you see multiple brightly coloured fish and pushing off from there is like an underwater aquarium. We snorkel to the next bay and back with ease. After so much Thailand, tourist intensity this feels like an absolute sanctuary. We took advantage of the things that were offered on site like Mui, Thai classes, and yoga and the gym and enjoyed the breakfast and the resorts restaurant. Ice bath was a treat and the pool is colder than the ocean, which is a rare treat on a hot day. We use the scuba diving refresher course on site, and then went scuba diving the next day. We are staying in a superior room and our balcony overlook the bay that everybody is trying to get to either by boat or by car. It is on our doorstep. The room is great. They bottle their own water, there are solar panels everywhere and they have really made an effort to be environmentally friendly. We like this place so much that we extended our trip by a few days. Yes, this place is a little bit far out of the way, but there’s a shuttle to Surrey Beach multiple times a day. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing stay at the hotel. Staff is amazing. Views from the hotel are great. There was some dirt in the pool, maybe some filters should be installed. The restaurant is a bit outdated.

Beautiful setting. Incredible views. The pool with swim up bar is lovely. The snorkelling from the hotel beach was great - we saw a wide variety of fish and small reef shark. The only let down was that a few of the staff were unfriendly and a bit indifferent. We had just come from a similar standard hotel in Samui, where the staff had been so incredibly welcoming, so we were a bit disappointed by how unsmiling and disinterested a few (not all) of the staff on reception and in restaurant were. Overall, it was a wonderful stay.

Always exceeded expectation and pleasantly surprised. Room cleaned everyday without asking. Never had to ask for anything because our needs were anticipated.

Great stay, food needs improvement, very basic breakfast not quality ingredients or enough choice, same for lunch and dinner

It is a beautiful resort amazing food a big variety to order and very well priced accommodation is excellent the snorkeling is the best on the island

Amazing

Beautiful spot to stay! Good breakfast, amazing staff.

Lovely resort hotel, beautiful setting, great lodges with all facilities, helpful staff and a convenient shuttle service to and from the main town and pier. Free yoga and other facilities, plus an excellent spa. A fantastic place to stay, but not recommended for anyone with mobility issues - lots of steps everywhere. I don’t think the restaurant was brilliant, though it was fine, so we ate out most of the time. Still a great destination.

Great stay but you need to be a mountain goat to deal with all the steps

The resort is on a stunning tip of the island and the snorkeling is fantastic. This is our main reason for the hotel. The breakfast was good and provided different foods for all tastes. We enjoyed cocktails and the shuttle was handy for any trips to the town. Our room was a little tired and for instance our bedside tables had no sockets near them so unusable. Bed was really comfortable. View from our room was beautiful. Room was very dark and hot. We borrowed a fan as I don't like Aircon when I'm sleeping. All the staff were so helpful and always immediately responsive to any questions. A really relaxing 6 days . The gym looked fab with a view and new equipment in it. Didn't do any classes. Overall a fantastic relaxing resort. Snorkeling off the beach and on the back area of the resort makes this a special resort. Room was beachfront so everything within walking distance. Food was good. We enjoyed. We also enjoyed the adjacent restaurant in the coral view resort.

Property next to beach which is little far from central of Koh Tao, limited free transport available, the conditions of the hotel and breakfast is average

Very comfortable luxury rooms. Good restaurant and spa. Location in Kok Tao one of the best. A few options for snorkeling. Very clean water.

Nice quiet area and kind staff. Cleanliness of sheets and pillows after a few days could have been better (e.g, noticing stains and replacing pillow covers). Constant power outages which were annoying since A/C would stop working. We returned one night to find the A/C and lights not working. Got solved in the end but very hot whilst waiting and just inconvenient.

Excellent spot for relaxing and recharging. Needed a relaxing spot to snorkel and spend time with family and Sae Daeng was perfect for that.

The hotel and rooms were amazing. The breakfast and the quality of the food was not very good. It needs a full revamp of the restaurant as its old, dated and the food could be so much better. After dining the first night were it took 45 mins to get our food, we didn’t eat there again, as we went elsewhere where the food was much better. The hotel itself is beautiful and the views were amazing!!

Nice place for vacation

Booked a garden view room, very neat inside with super comfortable bed, mini bar fridge and kettle. Plenty of stairs around the resort which can be a challenge if you have mobility issues but there is no other option for the hotel plus you get plenty of exercise which is good as the resort restaurant serves delicious meals at very reasonable prices. There is also a mini mart where you can buy essentials. You do not even have to leave the resort as the snorkeling is right of the beach which is not too busy. One of the best places we have stayed.

This place is slightly out of the way, meaning it is incredibly quiet and peaceful. Some of the best snorkeling on the island having done many tours. A shuttle bus runs all through the day to bring you into and back from town to make up for the distance away from town. I would highly reccomend this place if staying in Koh Tao.
