Simple Life Cliff View Resort

Do not let my 3 stars spoil it for you! This hotel is well located and really nice. It's getting a little bit old BUT we did not mind that. The view and the staff make up for that.
The restaurant on the opposite side of the road is not bad at all. They make a ham and cheese sandwich which we asked with some changes and we ordered a few take-away for our trips.
The photos I add here are real ... it is how it looks.
Let me explain the 3 stars for the rooms. We took the amazing sea view, which you should only do if you sleep with earplugs and are half deaf. During the evening and a large period of the night the sea constantly breaks waves on the rocks at a few meters from you. To enjoy the view yes but to sleep... no thanks. If you are not sure don't spend the extra money for the sea view, on Koh Tao you will see the sea all day anyway.
I had a second problem, the mattress on my side had a bad smell, which woke me up as well as the noise. The staff tried to fix it but did not replace the topper. I can not say if the sheets were replaced before I arrived but the smell partly went away when they replaced the sheets... BUT I will come back to Koh Tao and big chances are I will book in this hotel again !

This place is great. The rooms are clean, modern and comfortable. I really liked the soft pillows! I also didnt hear any music while sleeping here.

The resort itself has a nice pool and relaxing area. It is central and easy to get to the main beach.

I was a bit worried by other reviews but trust me, Ive traveled to 5 star resorts in thailand and this is on a similar par & level (actually nicer than some).

Definitely book in advance because inventory is limited! Hope you enjoy like I did. And bring bug spray for the island - mosquitoes everywhere.

We stayed 4 nights in the hotel and the experience was great! It has many restaurants and bars around, it is also easy to rent a bike close to the hotel and they have an exclusive parking spot for guests. The room was very spacious and has a nice balcony.

Me and my two mates really enjoyed our stay here. Chill and quiet enough to sleep but a few mins walk from all the bars/restaurants. There are two pools and a deck for sitting on for sunset, with direct access to the beach too.
