Chaantalay Hotel

The hotel owner and staff are excellent. Although the hotel is not directly on the beach, they offer motorbike rentals, making it easy to explore the entire island. The street in front of the hotel has many places to eat, and there is a convenience store nearby. If you value privacy, I highly recommend this place. I came with 13 friends, and everyone was very impressed.

The hotel and its facilities are good and new, nice and spacious rooms, nice swimming pool, good restaurants. The location is a bit far from the village but it is a 15 minutes walk that can be done. There is a tiny gym. The staff are nice. Unfortunately they are obsessed with rules and extra charging for everything. If only they were more flexible they could please much more their customers (in the end you say no to any stupid charge they come up with).

This absolutely beautiful and gorgeous little haven on the island offers the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility. Room is very clean. Pool is gorgeous. It’s close enough to restaurants, bars, supermarkets, and even massage and gym facilities, yet tucked away to provide the peace and serenity you crave on a vacation. The hotel manager is super nice, helped me extended my stay, booked my tickets, and found my forgotten AirPods upon check out. If I ever come back to the island, this would be the hotel I’d stay again!

The hotel is super clean and has everything you need. On top of that, the staff is absolutely amazing! They will do anything to make your trip as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Book as much through them as possible. And definitely rent your motorbike here if you plan on driving

I was happy with what I've got for the price. Pool bar was closed and you had to go to reception to get drinks. Room was really nice, strong and quiet AC, very good shower with cold water and good pressure (not standard in Tao). Pool was cold (again not standard in Tao) enough to have a swim.

Edit after reading other reviews: I really like pools and the ability to cool down in them and I choose accommodations based on pools to some degree. Koh Tao is not Phuket. Infrastructure (water/electricity) are still a luxury. I stayed in several places and you won't find a better pool in Tao in this price range.

My main issue was with the pool area. Everything is covered in black tiles which get super hot. There is not any shade anywhere. If you want to hide from the sun, you need to go to your room. Your beer gets warm in a couple minutes. Even after you finally get some shade after 5pm, everything is still super hot for hours. Hotel could really use something to cover sunbeds from sun or at least provide umbrellas. When I was there people were using empty mineral water bottles to get water from the pool just to cool down sunbeds.

Nice modern hotel away from the noise of Sairee Beach but close enough to walk. Excellent pool for cooling off and near a supermarket and lots of restaurants. Staff helpful and will book trips and ferry. Free shuttle when booking a ferry and 150 Baht per person for pier pickup

Nice modern hotel just outside of the busy area of the island. The room was spacious with a quiet A/C and the whole property is well maintained and in a super clean state.

Great facilities clean rooms ,scooter hire all in one and cheap transfers to the ferry I left an item in the bathroom and they were very kind and posted it to my next accomodation in bangkok .I can't thank them enough . I will definitely stay here again

We had a deluxe room for 2 weeks and it was great value for money. Bright room with small kitchen, balcony, AC and hot water. Super friendly staff and super helpful if you need anything. Huge swimming pool, small gym and free pool table.
