Very clean, service wonderful, free rides to town and p/u, no restaurant, a couple close by, wooden deck in our Villa was older/flimsy, thought I might fall through. Road up to resort was steep and narrow, typical Thailand. Overall a great stay with amazing vistas!

This resort is truly unique! It is like no place that I have ever stayed before. It is nestled on a hill side, so beware of potential motion sickness as you get to and from the place. If you can handle that, it is well worth it! The Villas are gorgeous, private, and safe. I have never felt as relaxed as I did staying here having a direct poolside view to the ocean all of my own. It is also a short ride away from town and diving sites. Absolutely wonderful!

Cape Shark was perfect for my family of 11 to enjoy time together! We had 4 bedroom villa with great open top floor to cook, relax, enjoy the view.
This property is on a steep hill, which makes the views spectacular. Be careful when walking the paths if they are wet!

We stayed at C16A. The view is incredible! And the villa is big and has 2 bedrooms. One upstairs the pool is amazing and gives you a really nice view on Shark bay like never seen before, but to be honest I did not feel safe there. It’s in the middle of nowhere. Shuttles are limited and the ride is up the mountain so you cannot really walk there.

It might be great for a couple. We were with our kids and it was a bit challenging.

There are options for delivery of food in the room. It takes around 45 minutes and the staff are helpful. They give you some stuff in a fridge to make breakfast, and to drink in cheap prices and that was also cool as you cant really buy anything without going to town which is very challenging.

Again - you go for the pool view. Other than that i wouldn't go.

This property is absolutely beautiful. However it is very remote in it's location. The road into the property is very difficult to travel and a long distance from town. With that being said if you are looking for a secluded quite spot this is perfect. The views from the villas are stunning.

Your own space in paradise

Excellent stay the staff were so helpful. Do bear in mind that you are non the south of the island and abit isolated however there are 3 free transfers a day into town/Sairee & 5 transfers back. The roads are very steep so you may not want to drive it yourself unless experienced on a motorbike.
The villa was amazing, had everything you would need.
Wifi was a bit hit & miss as we were there during some storms which seemed to cut it out regularly, think it was more issues with by he islands Wi-Fi that the hotel itself.
There are several restaurants on the island that will deliver to your room & we used this a few times, always worked out fine.
The hotel also sells some basics in the room minibar & at reception which was handy for breakfasts, etc & the prices were reasonable. Overall a great stay & would come back again if I could.

Beautiful villas with stunning views

The customer service was amazing. Nat moved us to a different villa because our original room was next to construction. She was super helpful. The villas all have amazing views but some are more modern and updated than others. C1 is a beautiful villa but it's showing it's age and needs a face lift. C5B, which is right over the ocean, is really cozy and comfortable with a small kitchen, perfect for two people.

Not What You Expect

Not-so-good. I hope this stay would be my relaxing one but it’s totally not. The service didn’t meet expectations. To begin with, they changed type of villa from the one I booked without telling. Next, they forgot my food order. Lastly, it was so annoying. I had to woke up early since not even 9am as they had construction site nearby fixing something.

The villa we stayed in was amazing! Incredible panoramic views of the water, lots of boats to watch. It was a short 2 minute walk down to the water to do some of the best snorkelling I’ve done in Thailand. (Saw black tip reef sharks) so yes there is sharks in Shark Bay. Had our own private infinity pool which was great!

The staff was great, very helpful and even picked us up at the pier and took us to town at no charge. The room was very modern with a full kitchen, stocked with items for breakfast as well.

Only thing to mention is there is lots of construction going on with new units but they are respectful and quiet. All work stopped early and they did not start so early as to wake you.

Cape Shark Villas is a gem in Koh Tao. Ocean views and spacious well appointed villas make the best home base for a vacation on the island. This time we were in C1 which offers privacy and a large outdoor area for sunbathing around the pool.
Special thank you to Ploi ( I hope I’m spelling that right)
This was our 2nd time staying there and she always made efforts to ensure we had a great stay.

Astonishing view! Really enjoy our honeymoon with that perfect view all day all night! We were lucky as our last night there are a lot of falling star! Just turn off all the light and u will be impress by that stunning star view!
There’s only a small TV in the kitchen, although we have never turn it on. Who need TV when u can enjoy the view so much? Kitchen equipment was very basic, if u need to cook, make sure u bring ur own amenities. There’s many choices for food delivery if u would skip the hassle.
U must know the fact that this hotel is located at hill, pls expect steep walking! I won’t even think of renting regular motorcycle, because I’m not an experienced rider. Hotel does provide transportation at certain hour, but if u stay far it could take some walk.
We stay at C8 which is a bit far from reception but is close to the rocky where u can dive into sea. It’s two bedroom villa, we were only two person so only occupied one room. Privacy wise is not great as there’s gate or wall to stop other from walking to ur villa. If u prefer privacy should have skip this. But hard to beat the view at this unit coz it located at the very end of the hill, just few more step and u can dive into sea!

Gros coup de ❤️
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour d'abord par l accueil , la gentillesse et l'amabilité du personnel de l'hôtel qui sont aux petits soins avec nous
Puis nous avons découvert une magnifique villa propre , très bien décoré avec une terrasse vue mer magique et une piscine très agréable . De plus nous avons accès à la mer à disposition des masques mais aussi un paddle pour aller explorer la shark bay 🐢🦈
Pour manger on peut se faire livrer du matin jusqu'au soir très facilement ou prendre la navette de l'hôtel pour aller au centre

Die Unterkunft war schön, jedoch sehr abgelegen. Der \"Strand\" (wir haben keinen Sandabschnitt gefunden), daher also das Meer ist eher zum schnorcheln geeignet.
Der Weg zum Meer ist sehr steil und anstrengend zu erreichen. Die Aussicht ist aber einmalig!!

Das Personal ist super freundlich und sehr zuvorkommend.
Es gibt außerdem einen kostenlosen Shuttle Service.

Leider gibt's kein Restaurant. Das war super schade, da uns überhaupt kein Essen vom Lieferservice gefallen hat.
Hätten wir das vorher gewusst, hätten wir die Unterkunft nicht gebucht.

Wir hatten die P5 Villa und ich muss sagen: Der Ausblick war wunderschön. Der Pool ist nicht zu klein aber auch nicht zu groß. Ideal für 2 Leute um darin sich abzukühlen und zu entspannen. Die Terasse war relativ Groß und man hatte hier genug Platz, um sich breit zu machen.
Etwas enttäuscht war ich von der Villa... die Zimmer bzw. der Raum wirken auf den Fotos viel Größer als es ist. Zudem hat die Villa leider etwas gerochen (ich kann nicht beschreiben nach was). Am Anfang fand ich das schon etwas unangenehm aber irgendwann gewöhnt man sich daran. Das Bad hat mir leider nicht so gefallen. Hier ist definitiv eine Renovierung notwendig (Toilettenbrille ist schon sehr abgenutzt, Dusche hat viele Gebrauchsspuren). Während man duscht wird leider das ganze Bad nass. Wir mussten danach immer ein Handtuch auf dem Boden legen, damit unsere Fuße trocken bleiben. Frische Handtücher bekommt man auch nur alle 3 Tage.... Die Reinigungskraft kam leider auch schon immer um 9:00/9:30 Uhr und wollte die Villa putzen. Falls man noch schläft wird man bewusst leider von der Reinigungskraft aufgeweckt...
Also im Großen und Ganzen war die Villa Okay. Das einzig einwandfreie hier war der Ausblick, die Terrasse und der Pool. Ob wir wieder die gleiche Unterkunft nehmen würden?: Ich denke eher nicht. Es gibt auf Koh Tao viele andere Villen mit einem Pool und einen mega Ausblick :)

Mycket trevligt hotell, hjälpsam personal.

Otroligt trevligt hotell.
Fantastisk utsikt att vakna till ,rogivande, mycket hjälpsam personal. Rekommenderas starkt.
Att tänka på:
Alla rummen ligger var och en för sig dvs.
Går du ur rummet hamnar du på altanen.
Kan vara lite läskigt om du har små barn. Mycket bra om ni åker flera par blir väldigt ”privat”.

Mycket mygg köp med myggspray!

Ligger en bit från händelsernas centrum går inte att promenera. Hotellet har gratis transfer mellan 8-17:00 dock funkar det i princip bara att åka från hotellet. Hem får man ta taxi.
Kostar mellan 300-700 baht.
