Simple Life Cliff View Resort

I’m honestly shocked by some of the negative reviews here!! I had the pleasure of staying here for three nights, and it was easily the best stay of my Thailand vacation!! Perhaps it’s because the room I stayed in was Seaview, but the room was incredibly clean and the view was like none other!!!

My only complaint is that the boardwalk down to the rooms is a huge slipping hazard in the rain- the boards become very slick and most don’t have the grippy tape. Would highly recommend the property fixes that before someone seriously injures themselves!! That’s the only reason I am giving four stars instead of five. The room itself was definitely 5/5

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.
