Sai Daeng Resort

Our stay at this hotel exceeded all expectations. The sea water was impeccably clean, with beautiful coral and an abundance of marine life. The rooms had everything we needed, including a snorkeling mask. The restaurant served delicious food at budget-friendly prices, and the pool bar was excellent. The only minor downsides were some slightly worn sun loungers and common areas, but these were quickly overlooked given the hotel's fantastic location.

I wholeheartedly recommend this place. The service is absolutely perfect. The breakfast is good and varied, and the staff are magnificent. The only thing to note is that there are a lot of stairs, so if you're over 50, it might be a bit challenging. The house reef is excellent; we saw sharks, turtles, and many other fish. There's also a free and very convenient transfer to and from the pier. I hope to stay at this wonderful hotel again.

They have a shuttle service to the pier, which makes staying here very convenient. There are two beaches for snorkeling, and the rooms come with complimentary snorkeling masks. Life vests and kayaks can be borrowed from the restaurant area.

I'm not a believer, but I can tell you that paradise exists, and it's right here on Earth! Everything was perfect. Since I couldn't get around easily, I called reception, and literally two minutes later, a little taxi took us wherever we wanted to go—restaurants, the pool, the mini-market. The pool is incredible, truly paradise, just like I said. The staff were top-notch, the rooms spotless, and the views, wow! A big thank you to the whole team ❤️

This is the best place I've ever stayed. It had a large room with a wonderful view of a private snorkeling spot, a beach, and a restaurant that wasn't crowded. There were fish on both sides of the snorkeling area, and I even saw a shark. Plus, boxing, yoga, and sound healing were all included! The breakfasts were excellent. I'm absolutely thrilled! 😊

A very cozy and well-maintained hotel with the best snorkeling location.

The accommodation was clean, a bit old, but overall still looked good. There were so many activities, you should definitely stay for at least 3-4 nights. The location was excellent, with beautiful views of both sides. You could snorkel right from the resort beach. They offered free yoga, HIIT, ice baths, and Muay Thai (group classes). The hotel restaurant prices weren't expensive, comparable to Sairee Beach, so you didn't even need to go into town. The staff provided excellent service, I was very impressed!

Lovely hotel! We had a beautiful, spacious 60sqm room with a sea view. There are free shuttle services to take you to the port (several times a day, I believe, though I only used it for the return trip). The toiletries smell wonderful. Snorkels and masks are available in the rooms, but fins are missing, even for rental. I liked this hotel because it's a bit secluded, which is great as Koh Tao can get very crowded. You can rent a scooter. I found the spa to be too expensive. Nice gym. Good breakfast and a decent restaurant. Beautiful pool and a peaceful beach.
