It was an unforgettable week with truly the best staff. JJ, Sarah, Bam, Piggy, Jade & Jade, etc. did an incredible job making all the guests feel welcome and provided top-notch service, from helping me through scuba dive training to organizing the free daily beach and sunset bar shuttle.

Amenities were top notch - the hostel is a bit outside the main strip but perfect for a peaceful scuba getaway!

One of my favourite places I stayed while in Thailand for a month. Very clean and I loved my private room with the balcony. Great breakfast and the free beach shuttle was great. I did get woken up by nearby cockerels every morning but I didn't mind. The hostel didn't have a social vibe while I was there but I think that was more down to the people who were staying there at the time.

Café da manhã simples e sem muita variação porém gostoso e diário. Me ofereceram um upgrade de acomodação já que o hotel estava bem vazio, o que foi ótimo. Quarto com ar condicionado e oferecem 2 garrafas de água todos os dias também. O quarto não tem frigobar e o hotel não possui cozinha. Há transportes diários para praias ao redor da ilha no começo da tarde e no pôr do sol. Tem serviço de aluguel de toalha para praia. A hospedagem fica próxima a Shark Bay, da pra ir a pé até a praia, várias lojas próximas a orla, algumas 7 Eleven por perto. Lavanderia um pouco longe (caso queira usar a coin-laundry, 15 minutos de caminhada) ou outras lojas que cobram 50baht por quilo de roupa e te entregam no dia seguinte. A vista do quarto era linda, tinha uma árvore florida e esquilos. Quem quiser fazer curso de mergulho eles também oferecem à parte, o iniciante tem 3 dias de duração. Melhor hospedagem que tive até agora nesta viagem da Tailândia, recomendo demais para quem quiser conhecer Koh Tao.
