The location of this resort is perfect - 200m from the peer, away from noise and yet so close to sairee and everything else. But what is made out of it is really dissapointing. Although the bungallows look charming from outside, inside they are almost disgusting. We refused two bungallows and took only the third because the toilet seats were... More

We stayed here for 4 nights after leaving the more popular and loud Sairee beach. The fan bungalow was comfortable and clean, but pretty basic. The room did have a fridge -- rare for the area. The staff was friendly and the resort does have a restaurant on the beach. There is wifi in the restaurant but not in the... More

Quaint little bungalows....we went with the more basic one which was adequate for people ok with backpacker style accommodation. Location is great as its walkable, even with luggage, from ferry, and beach is right there with some great snorkelling near rocks. Wifi quick and included. Would however agree with what others have said about value for money/price, as really there... More

The bungalows are ok not to bad , we had one of the more basic ones and to be honest we didn't have any complaints apart from the price ! It's simply to much for what you are getting . The staff were friendly enough but the whole place is lacking something, not sure exactly what but there isn't much... More

Stayed at Koh Tao Royal Resort for five nights and had a great time there! We arrived very early as we took the night boat from Suratthani but even at 7am, the staff were friendly and offered us free coffee while we waited to check-in and was told our room would be available at 11am :) We were satisfied with...

We stayed at the Koh Tao Royal Resort in January 2012. Overall I felt that the receptionist was always rude and his English is practically inexistent. The rooms are clean but are old and the bathroom is quite crumby. It is completely over-priced for what it is (and doesn´t even include breakfast!). We booked it as we were afraid of... More

Me and my girlfriend (we're both 26) picked this hotel because it had A/C rooms and was close to Crystal dive resort. In that sense, we got what we wanted. However, if you do not dive with Crystal (which we, by the way, can NOT recommend), there's little point in staying at Royal. Rooms are clean, but nothing special at... More
