Just got back from two weeks staying at Haad Tien beach resort and it was amazing. We stayed in a pool villa which was sublime. It's our fourth time now there and frankly there is no other place like it for the price in the world. Staff were all amazing as well and the food was lush. Go and experience... More

I stayed one night in a deluxe bungalow directly ON the beach. I don't think my words will do this resort or shark bay justice. The bungalow was beyond perfect. Every little touch...from the pot of water with coconut ladle to clean your sandy feet off before walking into your bungalow, to the private padded lounges on the beach as... More

We stayed four nights here and enjoyed it very much. The room is nice and clean, it has a rustic look to it (don't expect chrome and glass!) and everything is made from or uses natural substances like wood and bamboo. It looks like a perfect seaside home. There is a mosquito net supplied over the bed, and you can... More

We enjoyed our stay at Haad Tien - we had 3 nights in a Castaway Villa which was an amazing location right on a gorgeous quiet beach. The room was very nice and clean, however considering the price I was expecting something slightly more luxurious. The pool area is lovely and the food and drinks at the beach bar and... More

We really loved this resort. The days spent here were definitely the best part of our trip to Ko Samui and Ko Tao this time. We booked last minute (literally just minutes before arriving) and checked in rather early. At first it looked like we would have to wait for the room - no problem with that - but then... More

I'm suprised that the Haad Tien is only number 8 for accommodation on Koh Tao as looking at what else was on offer it was definitely miles ahead of the rest!

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Haadtien Beach Resort is a unique boutique resort nestled amongst the palm groves in the southern tip of Koh Tao with its own approximately 350 meter secluded beach. The development has taken place organically with variety of private villas and rooms, both beachfronts and seaviews, set amongst 45 acres of land that encompass the resort. The villas have been designed to provide guests with clean, comfortable and spacious accommodation without sacrificing the natural environment which makes the resort so unique.The resort is totally private as it is situated in its own natural bay, with granite cliffs on both sides and jungle behind, yet the resort is only a kilometre from the nearest village with local shops and restaurants. The beach itself opens out onto a crystal blue shallow lagoon which is perfect for swimming and snorkelling, and at night all that can be heard is the lapping of the waves and the whistling of the breeze. ... more   less
